My buddy Ed was texting me during the NFC Championship game about the marvelous display of talent Larry Fitzgerald was providing all us viewers outside the Arizona Cardinals market.
Ed was amazed at how great Fitzgerald was in the first half alone. The sad thing is, he's been great for awhile... no one really noticed it until now! Over 100 yards recieving and three touchdowns in the first half doesn't seem to be a stretch for Fitzgerald. The kid was unreal at Pitt. Granted the teams he faces in conference weren't exactly PAC-10 but he set some pretty high makrs there. Coming to the NFL and playing on a team with Kurt Warner and an offense just set on passing the deep ball and many other routes, accomadates to his style.
The only reason we know nothing of him in the league is because he plays in Arizona and how many of us really care about that? If he played in New York, Boston or Chicago we'd have heard of him by now. In fact people would be praising him and naming babies after him.
During the game, Ed and I decided that Larry needs a title. The best and great homage to his play is... the Black Jesus of Football. So the next time you see Larry Fitzgerald on the field, you're seeing the savior of Cardinals football.
