Cardinals meet 49ers on Monday Night

First work day of the week always means one thing, Monday Night Football.

Week 10 of the 2008-09 NFL football season continues at the University of Phoenix Stadium where the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers meet on Monday Night Football.

Both teams will be playing in what could be a ho-hum game. Why is it such a ho-hum game? Let’s start with the Arizona Cardinals. Sure, they are leading the NFC West with a solid 5-3 mark but because the NFC West is probably one of the worst divisions in football right now, nobody seems to care what the Cardinals have done.

The San Francisco 49ers on the other hand, are in the middle of a three-way tie for second place behind these Cardinals. But with a poor 2-6 start, how can the Niners be tied for second best? EASY. All of them other than the Cardinals are at 2-6, making this division one of the worst ones in professional sports.

Thankfully, it’s Monday Night Football, the only day of the week when you’ll only have one football game on TV. So I guess people will still watch this one anyway, even if they know they might just sleep through the whole thing.

For the Niners, this will be a test to their new head coach Mike Singletary, taking over the reigns from the well-dressed Mike Nolan.

In his first game as the interim Niners coach, he made a permanent quarterback change, kicked another player off the field and dropped his pants in the locker room to show his displeasure at halftime of a 34-13 loss to Seattle two weeks ago.

Boy, Singletary sure was busy eh? Let’s hope the bye-week last week gave him and the rest of his team the well deserved R&R.

Now, he returns to the sidelines facing the second-ranked offense in the NFL. He knows that Arizona was the same team that defeated them 23-13 at the start of their campaign and meeting them again, now as the head coach of his team could prove to be too much.
