Reality NFL 2008
The MK Dons comparison only works for teams with established, loving fan bases. Brooklyn Dodgers, Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns, and now the Seattle Supersonics (for instance, I don't know anyone who'll ever have a kind word for the Oklahoma City Thunder.)
However, no one gave a shit for the Cards in Chicago, and not many gave a shit for them in St. Louis, and probably even less gave a shit for them in Phoenix. Until now.
Some teams just have to move.
My only reason to cheer against the Steelers is that Big Ben will have two rings, and it will make the Giants decision to pick Eli over him a little less solid. (Well, I never said it was the best reason.)
However, Kurt Warner has proven himself to be a man of the highest pedigree, so I will not begrudge him or that bowtie-wearing liverlipped Bill Bidwell. I like Palomalu and Big Ben and Mike "I Don't Say A Word Because I'm Too Cool In My Leather Jacket/I'm the Shaft of the NFL" Tomlin and the Rooneys and I won't begrudge them, either.
