…the Cardinals best the formerly-undefeated-but-now-who-have-lost-2-in-a-row Giants in the Meadowlands!
Cardinals 24, Giants 17
It appears that Arizona finally found their running game despite the fumble problems both Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells continue to have.  In fact, all 3 TDs tonight were by RBs (the third was a pass by Kurt Warner to Jason Wright.  Larry Fitzgerald uncharacteristically [...]

Cardinals 28, Texans 21
Sorry folks, I know this is late but I’ve had tons of “real” work to do lately.
Anyway, I was at the game and have never seen so many Houston Texan fans in one place in my life. There were more at University of Phoenix Stadium than I think I’ve ever seen at [...]

Cardinals 31, Jaguars 17
What a fabulous showing by the Cardinals in Jacksonville!  Kurt Warner was almost perfect, throwing 24/26 for 243 yds and 2 TDs - setting an NFL completion percentage record of 92.3% (previously held by Vinny Testaverde in 1993)- before being replaced by Matt Leinart in the 4th quarter who didn’t get much of anything [...]

Well, I have to say I’m certainly not disappointed with either of my fantasy teams this season (unlike last season where I went through as many RBs as did Denver.)
Of the Cardinals I was lucky enough to pick up:
Team 1:
Kurt Warner, Steve Breaston, Karlos Dansby, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie
Team 2:
Anquan Boldin, Tim Hightower, Neil Rackers, Cardinals DST
Here’s [...]

Training Camp Update

So, NO, I haven’t had the chance to make it to training camp YET, but plan on attending Sunday after the Cards return from their Thursday night Super Bowl rematch in Pittsburgh. (Maybe the refs will get this one right although it really doesn’t mean anything except pride and perhaps an additional testosterone surge - [...]

Halftime Update

Pittsburgh 17, Arizona 7 (H)
GRRRRR that INT by Warner.  I would have loved to have seen a 14-10 Arizona lead at the half, but alas, that was not to be.  Hopfully the Cardinals’ D can step it up a bit more and the offense can be more productive.  Despite the fact that I was annoyed [...]

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 [...]

Wow, that word hasn’t been uttered since 1975 - the last time the Cardinals clinched their division.  In fact, they haven’t even been to the playoffs since 1998.  But after today’s explosive performance - on both sides of the ball - the Arizona Cardinals are officially the NFC West Division CHAMPS!  Congrats [...]

Cardinals 29, Giants 37
Yeah, 29…odd score….botched PAT.  However, Neil Rackers managed a very respectable 11 points and an interesting 67-yd attempt free kick (unusual…and failed.)
Dang, where to start.  Despite being home, Kurt Warner looked off.  he just didn’t have his usual pocket presence and uber-commanding zing on the ball (perhaps the Giants’ D breathing down [...]

Cardinals 26, Seahawks 20
The Cardinals are a veritable lock to clinch the division…already.  Very nice.
Kurt Warner had another fab game today (32/44, 395 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT) as did Anquan Boldin (13 rec. for 186 yds), Larry Fitzgerald (10 rec. for 151 yds), and J. J. Arrington with 2 TDs.  This is Warner’s 18th consecutive [...]
