This was sent to me by a friend of mine…
KURTIS THE STOCK BOY AND BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL
In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh [...]

Larry Fitzgerald has publicly stated that he would gladly restructure his recent 4-year, $40 million newly-restructured contract if it would help keep Anquan Boldin in Arizona. Earlier this season during training camp, Boldin stated that he would rather be traded than stay in Arizona, claiming that Cardinals’ management failed to follow-through on a promise to [...]

The Cardinals arrived in Tampa on Monday, all excited as the majority of the team had never been to a Super Bowl before.  Luckily Kurt Warner has.  He stresses that “When you are able to put one of those rings on your finger, it means access to a lot of parties in the future” and [...]

Cardinals get the SI hat trick

For the 3rd week in the row, a Cardinal graces the cover of Sports Illustrated.  This week, Kurt Warner with the caption “NFC Champs Flying High: The Cardinals soar out of the west to challenge the Steelers.” What was surprising about this issue, at least to me, is that, on p. 35, Jim Trotter picks [...]

Wow, what a sloppily-played and BORING AFC Championship Game.  Nevertheless, the Steelers emerged victorious; however, they don’t hold a candle to the Cardinals - offensively, defensively, or on special teams.
GO CARDINALS!!

WTG Arizona Cardinals….2008 NFC CHAMPIONS!!!!  Once they beat Atlanta and shut down Michael Turner, I knew that there’d be no stopping them, especially against the chronically overrated Donovan McNabb.
What a game by Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, and the Cardinals’ D!!!  After a scary 3rd quarter, the defense stepped it up again and put the icing on the [...]

Cardinals earning some serious national attention…

This week’s Sports Illustrated features Larry Fitzgerald (2 in a row now) and Kurt Warner on the cover and a nice article discussing the Cardinals’ resurgent defense and impressive offense.  Nevertheless, the alleged sports “experts” at SI fail to give Arizona the credit they deserve, picking Philadelphia in an easy win, annoying me yet again.  The [...]

… the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday, Jan. 18th at 3pm EST (that’s 1pm here in AZ) at the University of Phoenix Stadium!  Again, much like the Ravens did to the Titans, the #6 seed knocked off the #1 seed with a final score of Giants 11, Eagles 23 - the FIRST game in NFL history to [...]

Cardinals 33, Panthers 13
Are the Cards a team to be scared of?  I’d have to say YES!  What a performance in Carolina, handing the Panthers their first home loss of the season (while getting their first east coast win this year) with an impressive showing by both the offense and defense for a change. 
From the [...]

Larry Fitzgerald!!  WTG Fitz!  Also on the cover, “Arizona is DANGEROUS - Bring on the Panthers”.
Also, on page 38, Jim Trotter has a nice piece about the Cardinals’ rushing game and the resurgence of Edgerrin James, currently the 11th leading rusher in NFL history.
