An Aussie WILL play in the Superbowl!

Postby Dutchy » Mon Jan 12, 2009 9:16 am

Ben Grahams Arizona Cardinals will play Sav Rocca's Philidelphia Eagles in the AFC Championship game with the winner moving onto the Super Bowl.

I think it will be the first Aussie in a Superbowl, fantastic news.

Ill be going for the Eagles!

Nup he started with them in 1995, they lost the SB in 1994 while he was playing in Europe (although he was tied to the Chargers at the time)

Correct

Darren Bennett was only on the San Diego Chargers Development Squad when they last made the Super Bowl and that does not count.

Hard to pick who I am cheering for ... great story for Graham who with his 3rd team this year after the Mangenius cut him mid-season then got a one week gig for the New Orleans Saints in London I suspect because he was the only punter the Saints could find in a hurry with a ready to go passport.

The Cardinals are the worst ever active franchise in the NFL (with daylight second) so for them to make it would be quite a story.

Then again it is the EAGLES Sav plays for and they wear green.

A tough choice but who ever gets up they have my support against the Steelers / Ravens winner in SB 43 on Feb 2

BTW - NFL on Radio tomorrow -- approx 7.30am Tuesday's on Radio TAB 1539am.

Go Philly.

I follow all the Philly teams, it all started when I first watched DrJ play for the 76ers in the NBA years ago.

I then started to follow the Eagles, etc etc

I stand by my comments, Chargers were smashed by the 49ers in 1995 Superbowl 29 (49-26)..!! 1994 was Cowboys defeating Buffalo..!!

HOF

Arizona have to be one of the greatest NFL Cinderalla stories of all time. As PhilH says, this is a franchise that hasn't done anything, ever!

Will they be playing Pittsburgh or Baltimore? Can the Cardinals go all the way? :shock:
