GO CARDINALS!

BEAT THE CHRISTIANS!

I don't have photoshop or I would have put some numbers on them, maybe some real football helmets(the helmets they have on don't look too protective). My son's school mascot is the cardinal. While looking for photos for his blog, I noticed my son had pulled up this image when he googled "cardinals". His blog is: http://fightingcards.blogspot.com . I instantly laughed and thought of a great t-shirt design that I'm sure would NOT be school sanctioned. So I put it here. The headlines should be "Beat Prestonwood Christian Lions", but it's not quite as funny,...so I am kind of milking it for a laugh, a little. Should the Cardinals trounce the Lions in tonights homecoming game, would the sports page story headlines read, "Cardinals Beat the Hell Out of the Christians!"? We beat Nolan, the parochial school. I bet "Cardinals beat the Catholics" would have won some friends and influenced some people. Probably not, but you must admit that the play on words and the imagery linked with this photo is pretty good. The Fighting Cardinals! That's almost as good as Wake Forest University(Baptist college) having "The Demon Deacons" as their mascot. I guess in the history of the world some cardinals have fought. I think a nun was teaching boys to fight in an old black and white film with Bing Crosby, "Boys Town"(not sure about the title). And I guess there have been some demon deacons in this world and some Catholics and Christians who have needed the hell beat out of them, by Cardinals or Deacons,....or both. I've got to get this design to a t-shirt screener,...maybe not for tonight, but for next year. Epilogue: 9/16 - Christians beat the hell out of the cardinals.

Reminds me of when Harding Academy Searcy (a fine Christian institution) hung a HUGE banner across the entrance to the school building that blared, "BEAT THE DEAF SCHOOL!"

Yeah, God! Boo, Devil!
