THE ARIZONA CARDINALS PLAY THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS DOWN IN TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA. BOTH TEAMS ARE WORTHY OF WINNING THE SUPERBOWL TROPHY AS THEIR ULTIMATE PRIZE BECAUSE BOTH TEAMS ALREADY MADE IT THIS FAR. I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU MY PICK BUT I’M GOING TO TELL YOU THREE REASONS WHY EITHER TEAM COULD WIN.

WHY THE CARDINALS WILL WIN:

1. THEY ALREADY MADE IT THIS FAR. ALOT OF PEOPLE DIN’T THINK THEY COULD MAKE IT THIS FAR. SO NOW THAT THEY ARE HERE WHY NOT WIN.

2. KURT WARNER IS A VETERAN QUARTERBACK WHO KNOWS WHAT WINNING IS ALL ABOUT. HE HAS 1 SUPERBOWL RING AND ISN’T AFRAID TO SHOW HIS SKILLS AND WIN ANOTHER RING

3. ARIZONA PLAYS IN TAMPA BAY WHERE SO THEY ARE USED TO PLAY IN THAT SORT OF CLIMATE.

WHY THE STEELERS WILL WIN:

1. THE STEELERS HAVE ONE OF THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE IF NOT THE BEST.

2. WHEN THEY GET ON FIRE OFFENSIVELY THEY TEND TO SCORE PUT UP BIG NUMBERS.

3. THE STEELERES AREN’T AFRAID OF PUTTING A DRAMATIC COMEBACK IF LOSING.

SO EITHER PICK BOTH TEAMS ARE STILL WORTH IT OF WINNING THE VINCENT LOMBARDI TROPHY. THEY MADE IT THIS FAR SO EXPECT A GREAT GAME AND THE BEST TEAM AND THE ONE WHO PLAYS WITH ALL THEIR HEART WILL END UP AS THE BIG STAGE WINNER.

THIS ECONOMY IS HAVING SOME TROUBLED MOMENTS AND SIGNS OF FEAR IS INCREASING. RATHER ANYBODY BELIEVES WE ARE IN A RECESSION OR NOT IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER. THE TRUTH IS WE ALL KNOW OR SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US OR TO SOMEONE AROUND US. THIS ECONOMY HAS SHOWN AN INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT, STOCK MARKET CONFUSION, AND PEOPLE’S BUYING CONFIDENCE GREATLY DECREASING.

NOW THAT UNEMPLOYMENT IS INCREASING CAN WE SAY THAT WE ARE SAFE FROM NOT BEING THE NEXT PERSON TO BE FIRED FROM THE JOB. JUST RECENTLY MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG, MAYOR OF NEW YORK, ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WILL BE ABOUT 23,000 JOB CUTS .NOW WITH THE DEFICIT OF FOUR BILLION DOLLARS THAT NEW YORK HAS IN ITS BUDGET CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW ARE YOU SAFE FROM NOT BEING THE NEXT PERSON TO BE LAID OFF FROM WORK. AND YES IT WILL NOT BE AN EASY THING TO UNDERSTAND.

THE STOCK MARKET DOWN IN WALL STREET IS ALSO NOT AN EASY THING TO UNDERSTAND. ONE DAY YOUR INVESTMENT IN STOCKS ARE HIGH AND ARE GIVING YOU SIGNS OF RELIEF. THE NEXT DAY THE STOCK MARKET SUFFERS A BIG BLOW AND YOUR STOCK VALUE GOES DOWN THE DRAIN. HOW CAN YOU FEEL SAFE IF DURING THIS ECONOMY THE UNEXPECTED COULD OCCUR. YOU ARE NOT SURE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR STOCK OR IF YOU SHOULD SELL IT. THIS CAUSES PEOPLE TO LOOSE THE CONFIDENCE THEY ONCE HAD IN THEIR STOCK AND WHY WOULDN’T THEY.

NOT ONLY HAS PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE DECREASE IN THE STOCKS THEY BUY BUT IN BUYING IN GENERAL. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE’S BUYING CONFIDENCE HAS HIT AN ALL TIME LOW, SO IT IS STEADILY DECREASING SINCE LAST YEAR. THIS IS A RESULT OF PEOPLE NOT FEELING SAFE DURING THIS ECONOMY SO THEY FEEL THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO NOT GO OUTSIDE OR ON THE INTERNET TO WASTE THEIR PRECIOUS MONEY.

IF THIS ECONOMY CAN SHOW SIGNS OF RECOVERY WHERE OUR MONEY WOULD SEEM WORTH WASTING THEN THINGS MIGHT CHANGE. SO IF THE ECONOMY’S BAD TIMES COMES TO AN END AND SHOWS SIGN OF RECOVERY THEN THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE MIGHT DECREASE. IN ADDITION WITH PEOPLE WORKING THEN THEIR BUYING CONFIDENCE WOULD INCREASE BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND. NOW WITH PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY THE STOCK MARKET WON’T CAUSE THAT MUCH CONFUSION INSTEAD IT WILL SHOW SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT AND PEOPLE’S STOCK  VALUE WOULD INCREASE. BUT UNTIL THIS HAPPEN WE SHOULD ASK OURSELVES ONE QUESTION, ARE WE SAFE DURING THIS ECONOMY?
