Cardinals vs Eagles – may the better bird win!
Ann with Tim Hightower
Early yesterday I worked with Darnell Docket & Karlos Dansby of the Arizona Cardinals & my wife Ann saw Tim Hightower & JJ Arrington. We’ve been seeing starters of the Cardinals all season (in fact, more like the past 12 years) but the past few weeks have taken on a special feeling…like…we’re in the NFC Championship game for the first time in franchise history!!
After the Eagles flew in Friday night, Brian Dawkins gave us a call. He wanted to come in for a “tune-up” & saw Ann while I saw Brian Westbrook & the 2nd receiver Avant. Of course we made sure all the Cardinals were gone before they came in.
We’ve been hit hard from the media & press…they want to know if we’re taking sides (see link: Philly news & The New York Times). The fact is, Annie & I have worked with Donovan & his Eagles since he was a rookie (10 years) & Ann has been saying all along that she would work with him until he got the elusive ring.
Yet I think that our dedication to the Cardinals throughout the season also shows that actions speaks louder than words & that we are also committed to them.
The thing is, all of our major league athlete clients know that we do not have an exclusive contract with anybody & that we are running a business. Acknowledging that, Larry Fitzgerald still threatened to “kidnap Ann” so that the Eagles wouldn’t get a chance to experience her magical work!
For me, my heart is with the Cardinals but I’m going to say “may the best bird win!”. Go Cardinals!!!
