Top 10 Reasons To Wave a Terrible Towel on Sunday

10. We beat the Dirty Birds from Baltimore and kept the rookie quarterback where he belongs—on his couch during the Super Bowl.

9. We don't wear a random bird on our helmet. We epitomize city history.

8. Because the thought of the annually abysmal Cardinals winning a Super Bowl is too painful to a true football fan.

7. We don't have cheerleaders. Who needs half-naked women when the football team is actually worth watching.

6. Because a 15-year-old can bag groceries at a Hy-Vee. You'd have to be 17 in Pennsylvania to think about legally crashing a motorcycle.

5. Because our second-string quarterback isn't Hollywood Matt. Byron Leftwich could actually start for at least five NFL teams.

4. Because Pittsburgh actually has more than a hot season. We have Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. 

3. We DO have cheese steaks, Primanti Bros., Italian subs, and the Liberty Bell. We don't live in a desert and, therefore, have things to gravitate to.

2. We don't have a wide receiver with an ego the size of the state he plays in. Doesn't the NFL have enough of those already? Plus, T.O. is coming out with his own reality show, might want to check into that.

1. If we win, NFL history will be made. And the BCS mess won't be fixed no matter what happens in the Super Bowl.

Oh yeah. And there's more Cardinals with a Pittsburgh background than Cardinals with Phoenix backgrounds. We are the NFL Capital.
