The Cardinals lost again today, this time to the Dallas Cowboys:

Dallas 27
Arizona 10

Arizona has now lost more games in a row (8) than Chicago won (7). See my prediction from Week 6.

The question now is how many Arizona Cardinals weekly updates will I write in a row before my next post about some other topic?

The Cardinals had a bye and the Bears lost, which means my prediction from Week 6 was right on. I sent this message to Coudal Partners last Sunday night…

Coudal Partners,

I hate to say I told you so, but:

“I actually think that FifteenStraight will last longer than SixteenStraight – after tonight I am convinced that the Bears will lose their first game before the Cardinals win again” (from http://wearetrue.com/blog/?p=136).

In all seriousness, you are great and the shirt idea was great. I love that you make your ideas into real things that take on a life of their own. Your connection with the local culture there in Chicago is envious…I hope that we’re more like that when we “grow up” as a company.

We’ve been so slammed for the last week that I haven’t had time to gloat about the following:

Green Bay 31
Arizona 14

7 straight. See my prediction from Week 6.

I must admit that I pumped my fist when I read this on espn.com last night:

Oakland 22
Arizona 9

6 straight. See my prediction from last week.

I LOVE spam. No, not the kind selling Vai_egg_Ra, but the phishing kind. I received two very important messages from Ebay and Paypal today. I’ve copied the text below with audio transcripts of the author at the time of writing inserted:
