Getting a Little Work In
The Cardinals held an off-season workout today at their facility in Tempe. It was nice to see the team get some more work in and see participation from some veterans and rookies. The rookies, such as Dominique Cromartie-Rodgers, are learning how much faster the game is at the NFL level and it isn’t even training camp yet.
What is also nice to see, is the team working out in the almost 100 degree heat. It gives the team a nice sweat and earn every cent they are getting paid. If you get the chance, head on over to azcentral.com and read [...]
AZ Cards G.O.A.T – The Rock
Last time we took a look at former all pro WR Rob Moore. An outstanding contributor to the Big Red, Moore is one of only two Cards players to be named 1st Team All Pro.

AZ Cards G.O.A.T. – Explanation
Hey, I just wanted to clarify something here for everyone regarding our GOAT articles here. This list is not in order. That means that Eric Swann is not #1 and Rob Moore is not #2 and so on. It is just the order of the articles. At the end we will all determine who we will pick as the #1 choice.
Are we clear on that now. We have four more articles, meaning 4 more player profiles. And then you all will tell me who is the real #1. Understand? Sweet…….

Well, it’s that time of year where the filler that we can come up with has to suffice for the lack of NFL action we crave during the offseason. So in the spirit of filler articles and with me taking a page from our fellow FSB site Arrowhead Addict, I have created a list of former wearers of the Big Red for comparison in order to determine one thing:
Who is the Arizona Cardinals’ Greatest of All Time Player (GOAT)?
Now, there are some quick rules for this comparison. As you will see, I am looking at only former players, [...]
An Honor For Aeneas
I read today that former Cardinals CB Aeneas Williams is going to be inducted into the Cardinals Ring of Honor at halftime of the Monday Night Football Game vs. San Francisco on Monday November, 10th. This is a great honor for so many reasons, none greater than the fact he was a hard playing, hard hitting, hard to run past, corner.
If the Cardinals had 53 Aeneas Williams on their roster, this team would win the Super Bowl every year. It’s a shame a player of his caliber didn’t see more team success during his tenure in Arizona. Sure he saw some [...]
Well, as promised, here is my second posting as we take a look at the QB battle that is already dominating headlines here in the desert as the Arizona Cardinals wrapped up mini-camp this past weekend. Earlier in the week I discussed starter Matt Leinart’s claim to the job, making a case for his hold on the position. I received alot of good feedback from our dedicated reader HardHat (he came up with that name, not me) and if you get a chance you should definitely read our comments to each other, lot of good stuff. Remember [...]
Earlier this week our friends over at stripehype.com, the Cincinnati Bengals fan blog site on fansided.com, were threatened by a lawsuit claiming that the use of team logo’s and such were unlawful and should be removed from the site immediately. Let me tell you, so far, Cincy is the only team to pull this crap. As far as I can see, the rest of the NFL values its fan base and the support each team receives.
If you have the chance, please go by stripehype.com and offer your support on this subject. This is not a slap in the face for [...]
