Cardinals 41, Bears 21
After last week’s debacle and my double fantasy loss, I decided not to start Kurt Warner today.  Big mistake.  Big. Huge.
Great game!! I hope Boldin is back next week when they host Seattle.

The latest in the BRAT Favre saga

August 18, 2009 | 2 Comments

Brett Favre has re-entered the Minnesota Vikings’ realm (relevant to the Cardinals because they play each other in Glendale on Dec. 6th).  Personally, I think he is acting like a spoiled brat especially since this is the 2nd time in as many years he has retired, only to rethink his choice.  Last year it was the Jets, [...]

Michael Vick is back

Vick is now officially an Eagle, having signed a 2-year contract (more precisely, one-year with a one-year team option).  The first year will earn him $1.6 million and if he stays, $5.2 million the second year.  While this may be a mere pittance for a guy who had a $130 million contract with Atlanta before [...]

Training camp in full swing in Flagstaff…

…and most of the Phoenix folk, apparently, don’t know how to drive.  Perhaps it is the altitude.  Perhaps it is the lack of bumper-to-bumper traffic.  Whatever the cause, Flagstaff is one busy mess.  I’m sure the hotels and restaurants are enjoying the increased tourism.  I’m afraid to leave my house; however, I will try to get [...]

Dansby is Arizona’s Franchise Player…Again

What a decision…Dansby or Anquan Boldin.  Both players have been battling for contract renegotiations and since the Cardinals failed to reach an agreement with Dansby before the Wednesday deadline, he will keep the franchise tag for the second straight season.  In exchange, Dansby will make, for the 2009 season, the average of the top 5 [...]

With the loss of J. J. Arrington to Denver during the offseason and Steve Breaston’s success last season as a WR, the Cards are looking at Olympic trials track star Michael Ray Garvin as their new KR/PR.  The undrafted free agent from Florida State runs a 10.10 sec-100m, the 200m in 20.58 seconds, and the [...]

Beginning July 31st - through August 20th - the Cardinals will make the 2 hour drive up the mountain to Flagstaff for their annual training camp.  The late date shortens the Cardinals’ camp by a week and will occur simultaneously with their first two preseason games (the 3rd vs. San Diego is Aug. 22.) 
The annual “Red [...]

Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson will likely finish his career as a Cardinal after signing a 5-year contract extension potentially worth $37 million with bonuses and incentives.  Turning 30 this year, he was hoping to work something out with the Cardinals’ administration before becoming a free agent at the end of the upcoming season.
Anquan Boldin’s [...]

St. James?

MULTIPLE (and I do mean multiple) sources are reporting that the New Orleans Saints are showing considerable interest in former Cardinal Edgerrin James.  If he does sign, how would that alter the roles of existing Saints’ RBs Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush?  Rumor has it that Thomas has a fire lit under him and has [...]

Jon Gruden will be replacing Tony Kornheiser on ESPN’s Monday Night Football this season.  Thank goodness.  What the heck has Kornheiser ever done anyway, seriously? 
Particularly with the opening MNF game being San Diego at Oakland, it will be interesting to see Gruden’s famous “personality” shining through.
Now if they could only replace Ron Jaworski and Mike [...]
