Not in the Cards

Stop the insanity, Kurt. She's pushing 60!

Although quarterback Kurt Warner and his Susan Powter lookalike-wife, Brenda, are scary church farts, and my time in the state only overlapped with the then-Phoenix Cardinals for about a year (long enough to have a HUGE crush on QB Neil Lomax, who I'm pretty sure is another church fart), I still couldn't help but root for the Arizona Cardinals last night as they took on the much-favored Pittsburgh Steelers. We had the crazy-ass game on in the newsroom last night at work when I discovered someone who was filling in on our desk for the night was from Scottsdale (I noticed she was the only other person rooting for Arizona), so we had our own little East Valley cheering section going. It really looked like the Cards had 'em -- but some amazing Steelers offense in the last two minutes pulled it out from under my "home" team.

Fortunately, the game -- with its frequent changes in momentum -- was pretty entertaining because I sure didn't see too many hot men on the field (my normal reason for watching football). Lucky for me, though, a thoughtful reader did notice this guy assisting the Steelers punter near the end of the game for us to enjoy. Go, team (or something) ...

I was totally thinking the same about the random guy holding for Jeff Reed's practice kicks. I'm glad somebody got a screen grab...

Kenneth, that cute guy who held the ball for Jeff Reed was Daniel Sepulveda, the Steelers' injured punter. He really is one super-hot jock! I just e-mailed you some photos of him so you can check him out.
