Top 10 Reasons To Root for the Arizona Cardinals

10. They beat the Iggles, which means the camera crews can actually pan the stands and show shots of fans without hitting the "delay" button or getting hammered by the FCC for airing obscene behavior.

9. Any team that has that bird on the helmet deserves some love from football fans.

8. The thought of six Super Bowl rings will make Steelers' fans impossible to live with.

7. The Cardinals have cheerleaders and the Steelers do not.

6. A guy who admits he bagged groceries and stocked shelves at a Hy-Vee is a lot tougher than a dude who crashed his motorcycle.

5. The second-string quarterback gig for Leinart isn't working out too well—a Super Bowl ring will ensure numerous hot tub parties with the local talent in the near future.

4. Any state that proclaims their weather is great because "it's a dry heat" deserves to finally get over its inferiority complex.

3. Pennsylvania has enough bragging rights with their cheese steaks, chocolate bars, Italian subs, deep-fried hotdogs and the Liberty Bell. What does Arizona have? Cactus, tumbleweed, a huge foreclosure rate, a large retirement populous and a big hole in the ground.

2. Anquan Boldin thinks he is equal to Larry Fitzgerald and should be compensated more—don't we all root for the T.O.'s in this game? Jerry McGuire would be thrilled.

...and the No. 1 reason to root for the Cardinals...

1. If Arizona wins, it will prove underrated teams can win via playoffs and maybe the BCS will come out of their money-induced coma and start the wheels turning for an NCAA playoffs in FBS. We can dream, can't we?
