Arians is an Asshat, does he really think people are going to believe this crap?

Between his "New Sheriff in town" comment and this he's getting close to the Harbaugh level of hate for me :twisted:
Hmmmmm. Wow, I had not seen this. I love love love BA (even if he isn't as cute as PC) but I am not sure I am buying this story. One thing though. My Cards just didn't play like they even cared. I kept thinking WTF is going on here. So allow me to be a "homer" and let the thought creep in that maybe, just maybe the Cards weren't all that into a game that meant nothing much. The Hawks just wanted it and possibly needed it much more? Yeah, whatever. Don't bother to set me straight..lol...my little dream doesn't even make sense. I do believe that the real Cardinals will be back for the playoffs though...I hope. Two side notes: it is almost a compliment when opposing teams start calling your coach an Asshat. I mean nobody cared about Whisenhunt. Second side note and completely unrelated: I just remembered my favorite Seahawk play from Sunday. When RW through the ball to an offensive lineman and he ran for a touchdown!!! I was kind of cheering (quietly inside so my family didn't kill me). Who does that? That isn't normal right? I mean sometimes a defensive lineman catches a batted ball or picks up a fumble and runs it in (which I always love seeing) but I don't think I have ever seen a QB purposely throw a ball to an Oline guy. Tricky.
I don't buy it. Players were saying they didn't practice hard and then didn't play hard. Why the hell would you not practice hard or play hard if you had the chance at the number 1 seed? That makes 0 sense. I am 99.99% positive that if it were the Seahawks, they would practice and play at 110% because there was still a chance for the number 1 seed, even if it was unlikely the Bucs would win. Hell, it was unlikely the Falcons would beat the Panthers, but they did.
It's utter BS. They know they practiced hard and tried hard, but they got beat down. Now they are looking for excuses to save face. Own up to it. Admit that you were beat by the better team and acknowledge that next time around, you have to work even harder than you thought to win.
