11:26 Good morning Cardinal Fans.  34 minutes until the draft starts.  We know Jake Long is going to Miami.  Now the anticipation is who goes #2.  ESPN just interviewed Matt Ryan, QB from Boston College.  He thinks he’d be a good fit in Atlanta.  If he doesn’t go there, look for maybe Baltimore. 
11:40 - Ed [...]

OK, I’m putting it out there. I believe that with the 16th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select……..Aqib Talib, CB Kansas.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love this pick. This kid is a gifted playmaker. He is tall, he is fast, [...]

While everyone in the Cards camp was seemingly celebrating the contract extension Larry Fitzgerald signed in early March, I knew it was going to come back to bite us in the ass! Why? Because our team’s heartbeat, our franchise player (in my opinion) WR Anquan Boldin is not happy about his payday.

We are now one week away from the 2008 NFL Draft.  I think I’ve seen more mock drafts than women hanging around Cardinals QB Matt Leinart.  It’s time to heat up the debate Cardinal fans, as to who you think the Cardinals should take in the first round.  I personally think they should go defense [...]

Well I must say that the schedule for your Arizona Cardinals looks to me winable early, manageable middle of the season, and rough at the end, even though the Cardinals play four of their last six games at home.  Let’s take a look:

September 7th - @ San Francisco  . . . . this is a [...]

It’s been all quiet on from my end over the past couple of weeks, so I thought I’d drop by and offer my thoughts on a few subjects in and around the world of your Arizona Cardinals. 
Did you know the Cardinals have selected their cheerleader team for the 2008 season?  Yeah, I didn’t either.  News [...]

After about a week of the talking heads and commentators going on and on about some photos taken at Arizona Cardinals QB Matt Leinart’s house in which the young millionaire is captured partying (wearing clothes I might add) with a few desirable young women, I feel it is our duty here at Raisingzona.com to present [...]

Well, it isn’t the regular season; however the Cardinals got some good news today as they were tapped for a Thursday night ESPN Pre-Season telecast on August 7th against the New Orleans Saints.  The game is slated for a 5pm start.  That is the first of four preseason games that were announced by the NFL today.  [...]
