At any rate, looks like Favre will get reinstated and probably traded to the Vikings, although Chicago is around the rumor mill too.
You may [...]

Hey Cards fans…guess what?!?!  A QB controversy is still a-brewing.
Matt Leinart was named the starter at the end of last season, but Kurt Warner wants the job.  And can you really blame him?

Cardinals’ 2nd round pick DE Calais Campbell finally agreed to terms for a 4-year contract earlier this week, leaving only top pick Dominick Rodgers-Cromartie unsigned as of the time.

As the Cardinals approach their impending journey up the mountain to Flagstaff for training camp (which is all the buzz here in Flagstaff), there are 10 pressing questions (as eloquently presented by “official” Cardinals blogger Darren Urban.)

There’s a new head athletic trainer in town.  Ex-Falcon assistant athletic trainer Tom Reed is now charged with the task of getting the Cards in top form for the season.
Rookies Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Calais Campbell are poised to contribute great things to Arizona’s 2008-9 season.  One area gaining significant attention is blocking opponents’ kicks.  The Cards [...]
