Actual conversation I had with a Phoenix taxicab driver yesterday, while on the way to the airport to get the hell out of that damned desert:
Phoenix Taxicab Driver: Are you headed home for the holidays?
Stlsports: No, actually I am from St. Louis and here on a one day business trip.
Phoenix Taxicab Driver: Saint Louis, huh? Hey, would you [referring undoubtedly to St. Louis in general] mind taking the Cardinals back?
Stlsports: No thanks.
Phoenix Taxicab Driver: Well what about the Bidwells?
Stlsports: No, you can keep them too.
Phoenix Taxicab Driver: I don't know much about football, but I know it's hard to throw the football when you are on your back all the time.
Stlsports: Well observed.
Phoenix Taxicab Driver: Thanks, by the way, for that home opener.
Stlsports: No problem. A vision of things to come for that nice new stadium.
What a sad man. But then I got thinking: What if the Greatest Show on Turf never happened? Say the Faulk deal never happens and Kurt Warner doesn't get promoted from backup. Would I be telling someone from Los Angeles if they would like the pitiful Rams back? How about that nutbar owner Georgia? Food for thought. Glad to be back home.
