A Crazy Weekend in Sports! (continued) By Sports Specialist Daniel Plassa

This past weekend in sports has been a crazy one! The first game out as the battle for the NFC title with the Philadelphia Eagles playing against the Arizona Cardinals, the Cardinal's home state of Arizona. It looked like the Eagles were ready to take on a challenge when safety Brian Dawkins pumped up his team as he usually does. The Eagles were ready. But not for long! As soon as David Akers kicked that ball, the game was done! When Kurt Warner held that ball, he was on fire. The Cardinal's first drive had resulted in a touchdown. Then the Eagles came back for a field goal (7-3). Then the Cardinals made a play that changed the game a flea flicker. A throw to Kurt's running back then right back back to him for a beautiful pass to Fiztgerald over Quinton Mikel's head for a touchdown. By that point everyone counted the Eagles out. But in the second half the Eagles came back to lead it 25 to 24 in the 4th like they always have since the game that got them into the playoffs. But the clock was winding down the Cardinals scored, sending them to the Super Bowl for the first time in 61 years. A sad upset for Philadelphia. But at least Philly can still say "WE won the World Series!"
