Highs and lows.

The last bit of high- with about 45 seconds left in the Superbowl game – we were up. I was up.. screaming like a madman. As were most of the Arizona Cardinals fans. It made it even sweeter because my dad wasn’t believing in the Cardinals. I don’t give up on my team regardless of the circumstance (more on that later).. but he did. He gave up after the second quarter.

So I sat back, and quietly watched as we mounted a historic comeback. We were leading, 20 – 23. The biggest comeback – we accomplished that. Warner threw a pass to Fitzgerald that was nothing but pure delight as he outran everyone else for our glorious touchdown. I admit.. I jumped up and continued to jump up and down. Everyone in my family was on their feet for that play. He CAN go ALL the WAY. We keep the lead until the final seconds..

..and then the lows.

With 36 seconds left in the game, Steelers get a touchdown. 27-23, we tried to advance the ball (and we did) but it was too little time as the time expired after one of Many bad calls throughout the game. This last call gave the ball back to the Steelers with a few seconds left.

Two days later my voice has still not fully recovered from the yelling. Amazing..

We will back back. At the very least we have earned respect throughout the league.

Next.

Blazers played the Hornets last night. We didn’t play that well. To quote one of the Oregonian writers..
“NEW ORLEANS — In one of their most discouraging and embarrassing performances of the season, the Trail Blazers dropped their seventh consecutive road game to the New Orleans Hornets … “
It wasn’t looking to be a good night at all. First my Cards.. and now my Blazers? I can’t take this. To top it off the announcers were showed no respect for the Blazers. Constantly saying that “clumsy” should be added to our list of talents. We apparently looked confused, didn’t know how to play defense and where was Brandon Roy?

That topped it off. I was starting to fume. Then in the third quarter Chris Paul went down. My hope looked at the score. 20 down, but more than enough time to do it. The rest of the article on the Oregonian read as follows:
“Wait, hold that thought …

Chris Paul just left the game with a right groin injury. Jerryd Bayless is driving to the basket with reckless abandon. Travis Outlaw is hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Joel Przybilla is playing stalwart defense on David West. …

Let’s try this again.

In one of the most improbable and exhilarating victories in recent memory, the Blazers erased a 20-point, third-quarter deficit to defeat the Hornets 97-89 on Monday night, rescuing the opening game of a pivotal three-game trip and stunning 14,781 at New Orleans Arena.”

Now that is more like it. From High to Low, back from a Low to a High.

Our record has improved to 30-17.

In other news… it is a couple day away from my mom’s birthday- two.

That is all I have for now.
