Berry: 'Watch something else'

One unsurprising theme I took from the Cardinals first media availability Monday, especially from their forgotten defense: They are going to play the Us Against the World angle.  Hard.  This can be tiring, but it works.  They believe in it.  And judging by some of the borderline insulting questions they received Monday, there is plenty of truth in the angle.

"The fact of the matter is that perception can't help us on Sunday. ... We don't care what people thing about us.  People have said they don't like the fact that the Cardinals are in the Super Bowl.  Too bad.  We're here.  You don't wanna watch us, watch something else.  I'm sure there's programming on other channels.  Good luck with that. ... We deserve to be here, we've earned the right to be here and we're not making any apologies. ... Change usually comes with a lot of resistance."

Well said.  I also appreciated Berry's professionalism in wearing a sweater vest despite answering questions in a humid tent.  Between Berry and Fitzgerald, the Cardinals have the most sweater vests on a single team since my high school tennis squad.  And we won the state title!  Omen?
