As the 2008 NFL season comes to a dramatic close, coaches and players for the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers are making last minute preparations for the big game on Sunday.
However, a black cloud looms over Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Anonymous sources from both camps who called the Review this week say that coaches and owners alike have but one thing on their mind......who will Philip Klein be rooting for.
"We would prefer that he not even watch the game." said Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt. "We feel we have a good shot at winning but I'm afraid that if Philip Klein says as much as 'nice catch' after Kurt completes one to Anquan, it would just kill us."
Philip Klein, renowned editor of The Southeast Texas Political Revew, and now, nationally known 'stooge', was chided for supporting the Texas Tech Red Raiders right before their loss to Oklahoma.
"Seven of my top players had to be committed to mental institutions." said coach Mike Leach. "I don't know what karmic void that guy crawled out of but I wish he would go back."
Steelers head coach, Mike Tomlin, thinks he has an 'ace in the hole'. "Philip hates black people...and I'm black." He said. "He'll go for Wisenhunt cause he's white."
