Pigs have learned to fly. Hell has frozen over. The Earth is no longer spinning on its axis. The Arizona Cardinals are playing in the Super Bowl.

The Pittsburgh Steelers arrived at the Tampa International Airport, just before noon on Monday, January 26. The Arizona Cardinals followed shortly after, touching ground at 2:45 p.m. As their plane taxied to a stop, the pilot waved a Cardinals flag out the cockpit window.  Super Bowl XLIII is under way.

On February 1, 2009, - SUPER SUNDAY - Tampa will be hosting it’s fourth Super Bowl. This is the Cardinals first trip to the Big Game, since the Super Bowl was created in 1967. They will also attempt to win their first league championship since winning the NFL title back in 1947.  The Steelers are appearing in their seventh Super Bowl, only one fewer than the Cowboys’ record eight. The boys from the Steel City will try to win their sixth title - more than any other team.

Hines Ward (wide receiver for Pittsburgh), and his fellow teammates, expect Tampa to resemble their city from up north, by the weekend.  They believe Steeler Nation will take over the crowd at Raymond James Stadium. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger envisions a tsunami of Terrible Towels…a sea of black and gold.

Before the Cardinals boarded their plane to Tampa, a send-off pep rally was held in Phoenix, at the Sky Harbor Airport . Hundreds of fans were in attendance, to bid farewell to their beloved team. Head Coach Whisenhunt addressed the fans, stating, “It’s Arizona’s time to shock the world.”

Super Sunday will decide who does the shocking. Will it be Big Ben or Kurt Warner stating, ”I’m going to Disney World!” Being a diehard Browns fan, I only have one thing to say…GO CARDS!
