The Turk Has Spoken

The Cardinals made their cuts.  Most of the cuts went the way I expected with a few exceptions.  Here is a complete list of the players cut:
Steve Baylark, Chris Vincent, Kelly Butler, Carlton Medder, Peter Clifford, Jasper Harvey, Jamaica Rector, Alex Shor, Brent Miller, Anthony Morelli, Michael Adams, DeMario Minter, Dennis Keyes, Travarous Bain, Jason [...]

D-Day

As I wake up this morning to another season of college football, I also am not forgetting that today is the end of the road as far as hundreds of NFL players go.  Today teams must cut their rosters down to 53.  As far as the Cardinals go, some calls will be tough while others [...]

Cards Dominated in All Phases of Game, Lose 28-14

So, at least it was the fourth preseason game.  It was the final tune-up leading to the regular season opener in San Francisco next weekend.  If this was a regular season game, I’d be a little more than worried about the state of Arizona Cardinals football. However you cut it, the Cardinals lost to the [...]

Len Pasquarelli and Matt Williamson Are My Heroes

I’m sure your first thought is, “I know who Len Pasquarelli is, but who is Matt Williamson and why do I care he is being mentioned in this blog?”
Well Len Pasquarelli of ESPN and Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. are the only two of 16 “experts” who made their NFL predictions on ESPN.com today.  Both [...]

Just Kidding

Well, apparently Ken Whisenhunt didn’t say Warner was the starter for opening day.  At least that’s the spin he’s putting on it now.  He said he doesn’t know where ESPN got their information.  He stated the reports were erroneous.  Ok, I guess ESPN is now a bunch of liars?  I love the spin coaches put [...]

Leinart’s Fate Sealed Well Before Training Camp

Much has been written, talked about, and mulled over in sports bars this off-season about who the starting Cardinals quarterback should be. It’s been really one of only two public competitions taking place in Cardinals Camp, the other being the third receiver spot. The competition though may have come to an end, at [...]

Report: Kurt Warner to be Named Starting Quarterback

Well, that didn’t take long.
ESPN.com is reporting that Kurt Warner will be named the starting quarterback for your Arizona Cardinals over third year quarterback Matt Leinart.
I’m not so as much surprised by the decision as I am the timing.  I really thought coach Ken Whisenhunt would let Leinart try to redeem himself in the first [...]

Leinart Has Poor Showing, Cardinals Still Shutout the Raiders 24-0

The first half of tonight’s game more resembled a few friends getting together for a rumble in the park for some touch football rather than a couple of NFL teams getting together for a preseason football game.  Nevertheless, the Arizona Cardinals took over with strong running game in the second half and rushed their way [...]

Arizona Cardinals (1-1) vs Oakland Raiders (1-1)

Preseason week three this weekend finds your Arizona Cardinals taking a trip to the bay and taking on the Oakland Raiders.
What to watch for: This is the last game before the first round of cuts that are due by Tuesday. There probably won’t be a lot of surprises made in this week’s cuts, however, [...]
