Every year the Arizona Cardinals come on TV and the radio and say things like, "Its going to be so different this year." and "Its sick, almost unfair, all the talent we have."
"Oh, we'll make the playoffs easily!"
The season ticket office was calling season ticket holders BEFORE the San Francisco game two weeks ago telling ticket holders that they needed a $500 deposit NOW if they wanted playoff tickets! They called one guy RIGHT AFTER the 49ers beat them and he ask, "Did you see the game?" This is a team that has been swept by the 49ers, beaten by both Dilfer and Testiverde. Playoffs???
I'm not, nor have I ever been a Cardinals fan, but I'm sick and embarassed at how the home team becomes "snake oil" peddlers. Anyone feel the same about their home team?

Most of them do similar things. They need to sell tickets and they try to get away with as much as they can to their season ticket holders. I used to have season tickets, they treated me like dirt. Now I am not a season ticket holder.

well they put the deposit down if they do not make the play-offs the money goes toward your season ticket purchasesnext year so you wouldnt lose money if they dont make the play-offs

All teams do this. Deposits go back.
All teams feel they can win it all before the season... why else would they show up if they didn't?
