ABSTRACT:

MINNEAPOLIS – They look to be only a speed bump on the Vikings’ road to the Super Bowl in Miami in three weeks. These Cardinals have been a nice story over the last month of this NFL season, winning their final three regular season games on game-winning field goals to qualify for the playoffs, then upsetting the Cowboys last week in Dallas.

They could have the next Joe Montana in quarterback Jake “The Snake” Plummer and thier owner Bill Bidwill is no longer viewed as a tightwad, bow tie-wearing weifdo, but a charming eccentric who really did want a winner all these years.
