The 2016 Arizona Cardinals are a lot like the Golden Globes as they had it all with excitement, drama, and comedy

The are no awards for the 2016 Arizona Cardinals.  There may be some individual ones coming, particularly for running back David Johnson but this team had a little bit of everything, kind of like the Golden Globes.

The Golden Globe awards are this Sunday evening.  The Cardinals are a lot like the long-running awards show.  They had a lot of excitement.  They had a lot of drama.

Certainly there was some comedy.  At least the attendees are expected to have a good time at the award ceremony.  In the end though, the Cardinals were just a team that acted like they knew where they were going when the season started.

There were a lot of expectations on the Cardinals in 2016.  Most expected them to make the playoffs.  Many expected them to take it all the way to the Super Bowl.

In the end, it was a story full of disappointment.  Expectations were not met but there were some common themes during the 2016 season.  Those common themes were part of the problem.

The Cardinals finished 7-8-1 on the season.  There were some positive things that happened but for the most part this will be a season many Cardinals fans will want to forget.

Now, on to the awards, if such a thing existed.  If the 2016 Arizona Cardinals were the Golden Globes.
