Just to make things interesting, I'm predicting a Cardinal/Steeler Super Bowl.

Even if I only get one of them correct, it's still an improvement over last week.
Hey, I'm 2 for 2 this weekend - a little more respectible than last weekend's 1 of 4 performance.

Great win for the Steelers and the Cardinals. I'm looking forward to the Super Bowl - Steelers are favored by six points?

Sorry to hear about the snow, but I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the victory.

It should be a great Super Bowl game - I'm really looking forward to watching it.

Great Story, Check out the link to snopes at the bottom also





KURTIS THE STOCK BOY
AND
BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL


In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice
came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was
almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the
call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the
new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was
only 22) and he fell in love.

Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find
out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her card
and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked out only
to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside as she left
the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she
accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again,
outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible.

He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a
baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted
his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived
at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The
baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well,
let's take the kids with us."

She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not
taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet
her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis
thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a
paraplegic with Down Syndrome.

Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't
come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman
with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband
and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a
different mindset.

That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the
movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he
needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and
brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda
knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life
with.

A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children.
Since then they have added two more kids.

So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl? Well,
Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is currently employed
as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his
Cardinals in the hunt for a possible appearance in the Super Bowl. Is this a
surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person.

It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player.

That was awesome.

For those that may have scanned the story but didn't check out the Snopes link, it's definitely worth the extra reading time.

For those that may not be familiar, Snopes is a website the checks "Urban Legend" stories for accuracy. It's a great site.

goodone414 - thanks again for the post. That will make the Super Bowl even more interesting for me to watch.

I totally agree.

I was afraid when I saw the Snopes link that it was going to reveal that the story was a scam. It turns out that the real story is even better than the one circulating in via e-mail.

With all of the bad news that we're exposed to everyday, it's nice to be able to read something that's uplifting.

I don't want to start any trouble out there but I thought this was going to be a two week period of nothing but STEELERS praise and worship from our good buddy CL Pgh. We really haven't heard that much, I am sure he is sober and out of the snow by now
Don't worry, we love ya man, but you can't have my beer

Warner QB’d the SB in 2000 & again in 2002... this story was every where back then. Good stuff!!! This trip to the SB should solidify Warner has a Hall of Fame player seeing what he’s done with the Cards. this season. He’s great people and belongs in the HoF… but if winning this game is required to make it to the HoF… it just won’t happen! Kurt is one of the top three active QB’s with winning Play-Off records… one of the other three… Big Ben Roethlisberger… youngest QB to win a SB… fastest QB ever to 50 wins.

Can you guess the third active QB not mentioned???

The obvious answer is that Brady guy from New England so that must be wrong. Are you considering him inactive because of his sore knee? If so then I quess P. Manning

You got it... Brady. Manning, believe it or not, actually has a losing record during play-offs. I think he's 6 & 7... in that area. ???
