WILLIAM YOUR TEAM IS GOING DOWN!

If you didn't know it my grandson, William, is a huge football fan. His favorite team is the Steelers. He has a special attachment to Ben Rothlesberger because he plays football at school with the Rothlesberger brothers during recess. His love for football began as an infant when Crystal and I would drag him to everyone of Uncle Royal's football games. William was so sad when uncle Roy graduated. We had a football party at Amanda's house Sunday afternoon and William sat next to me. He was cheering for the Eagles because that's his schools mascot and I think he loves challenging Grandma. When the Cardinals were down by one he looked and me and said, "GRANDMA YOUR TEAM IS GOING DOWN!" He was sad when his team lost but that was short lived when the Steelers won their game. William has let me and everyone know that "THE CARDINALS ARE GOING DOWN!" He is so pumped for the Super Bowl. Grandma is very torn because I really want the Cardinals to win but I will TRY really hard to be excited for William should his team win!

I'm rooting for the Cardinals but maybe we won't beat the Steelers too badly!

You all remember what happened to the Diamondbacks when thehy went all the way ... almost. then they r3eturned to their normal playing and changed their colors for plain ole red and black. Theri colors are the best thing they had going for them.

Ya'll go ahead and root for those birdbrains ... William I'll root with you for the Steelers!
