The bad news… both players are standing firm so far on their demands for new contracts.  Showing up for Cardinals’ minicamp is certainly a gracious step on the player’s behalf – they could have just stayed home.

Wide receiver Anquan Boldin and defensive tackle Darnell Dockett showed up for the Arizona Cardinals‘ minicamp Friday, but both players begged out of workouts because they claimed they were injured.   Continue reading on NFL.com

So Arizona has two excellent football players who are putting a good foot forward by at least attending team functions. It is still a little disappointing that these guys can’t be happy w/ their existing contracts though.  They were pretty excited when the originally signed them, but the market changes and they see other players making more money (for less work).  Can’t blame them for trying, but its still a shitty situation for both sides.

The Arizona Cardinals granted running back Edgerrin James‘ request to be released Tuesday, NFL.com’s Steve Wyche reports, and the team later announced it had cut two other veteran players.   Continue reading on NFL.com

Not necessarily “big” news for the Arizona Cardinals considering they drafted “Beanie” Wells in the 1st round of this past weekend’s NFL Draft.  They already have Hightower at RB, so adding Wells should give them, at minimum, what they had last year.  They still might not get out of the cellar in terms of total rushing yards, but Edgerrin James was overpaid for what the Cardinals need & use.

The cut of James, as well as 2 additional starters (Hood, LeBoy), may also have an impact on the team’s ability to re-up wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who is upset about how much he gets paid compared to Larry Fitzgerald.

Arizona will be fully stocked w/ pretty much the same roster that reached the Super Bowl, but only time will tell if they can repeat the effort and make the playoffs… let’s get in before we start talking about advancing past the 1st round of games.

This was a great Super Bowl, featuring the favored Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the bandwagon/underdog Arizona Cardinals.  As a former Cardinals season-ticket holder, I was definitely excited to see them put together a winning season and reach the championship game.  I wish I would’ve renewed my tickets to be a part of it, but hey, the economy is tough…

Top watched SB?   Not sure I buy it… I mean yes, they have estimates and great statistics that would seem to indicate it was big time, but I’m not sure the entire country was into it as much as the ratings suggest.

Kurt Warner is a class-act and a great inspiration for fans throughout the NFL.  What he did this year in Arizona is simply amazing.  Here’s hoping that the Arizona Cardinals re-sign him to a new deal (if he’s not retiring)!!

Go CARDS!!

Arizona Cardinals Jerseys

The surprising Arizona Cardinals plan to have wide receiver Anquan Boldin on the field Sunday, as they attempt to accomplish the unthinkable… making it all the way to the Super Bowl.  The Cardinals benefited from a huge touchdown scoring play against the Atlanta Falcons in the wild card game, but the hamstring injury Boldin suffered on the play kept him out of the match-up w/ the Carolina Panthers last week.  Kurt Warner and Co. didn’t appear to need Boldin, however, as the team dominated the favored Panthers enroute to the NFC Championship game.

The Philadelphia Eagles are also trying to reach the championship game, but they’ve not suffered the same national scrutiny that the Cardinals have.  Arizona won the NFC West division months ago and played horribly to end the season, nearly entering the NFL playoffs w/ a paltry 8-8 record (they finished 9-7).

Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys

Brian Westbrook has been hampered for much of the year, but does expect to play on Sunday.  He is instrumental to Philly’s offensive attack, so any inflammations during the game could prove fatal for the Eagles.

Go Cardinals!  Could it really happen??

Tennessee secures a playoff berth, 1st round bye,and the AFC South division after a convincing victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.  The Titans only loss of the season came against the New York Jets several weeks ago and they have dominated every since via their running game and mix of passing.

In the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals have won the NFC West and their 1st division title in 33 years.  While it took the Cardinals 3 games to get a win (to clinch), it is still a very welcome victory for Arizona’s “lost child”.  The Cardinals will now seek to improve on their 8-5 record in hopes of securing a bye in the playoffs.  They have already ensured a home playoff game in Glendale, AZ, but they should continue pushing for wins.

2. Tennessee Titans Prove They Can Pass, Move to a Perfect 10-0

The Cardinals, led by Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald, looked strong with the lead early in the 4th quarter. Tony Romo and the Cowboys were not done, however, and led a stirring comeback to trail 24-21 with only minutes to go. Arizona had failed to convert a 1st down and punted to Dallas. The Cowboys promptly marched down the field and setup for a game-tying field goal. Prior to the snap, Arizona Head Coach Ken Wisenhunt called a timeout, which just so happened to nullify a blocked kick. DOH! On the 2nd try, Dallas hit the FG to force overtime.

Sean Morey blocked Mat McBriar’s punt and Monty Beisel scooped up the ball and scored from 3 yards to give the Arizona Cardinals a crazy 30-24 overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Continue reading on NFL.com

The overtime period started with an injury to Tony Romo’s throwing hand and a quick 3 & out for the Cowboys. As you can read above, the Cardinals blocked the punt and scored the winning touchdown to move to 4-2 on the season – the same record as the mighty Cowboys.

Cardinals fans around AZ have reason to believe their team can win this season, but this fan is not sold yet… They have done this before, teasing us and playing with our minds – making us believe they are better than they really are. Only time will tell if this Arizona Cardinals team has the makeup & strength to continue to win football games. They certainly go into their Bye week on a high – enjoy it while it lasts and pray that it continues.

The Cowboys certainly get the raw deal out of this one, as reports come out on Monday that QB Tony Romo will miss at least 4 weeks with a broken pinkie on his throwing hand. This comes at a horrible time for Dallas, losers of 2 straight NFC match-ups. Veteran Brad Johnson will man the helm for the Cowboys until Romo returns.

The Cardinals are now 4-2 on the season and primed for a playoff push. Get your authentic or replica Cardinals jerseys and other merchandise below:

Brett Favre was listed as questionable Friday for the New York Jets‘ game against Arizona with a sore left ankle, but is expected to start against the Cardinals.

Continue reading on NFL.com

The ageless wonder that is Brett Favre continues to amaze as the quarterback of the New York Jets. While the team hasn’t performed up to what expectations were – especially after the 1st game, Favre has looked like… Favre. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes erratic.

This week, the Jets will lineup against the Arizona Cardinals, who are also fighting for an identity and looking to prove pundits wrong. The Cardinals are continuously looked at as the NFL’s annual loser – they haven’t won anything in their entire existence. With a hobbled Favre and good mixture of offense and defense Sunday, the Cardinals could start the season 3-1 and put the Jets in a 1-3 hole; neither of these were expected by the respective team’s fans or the analysts.

The Jets will have to run the ball effectively with Thomas Jones, but also get good decisions and solid plays out of Brett Favre. The AZ defense will make the QB pay if he is not careful with the football.

Game prediction:
AZ 24, NYJ 20

Of course, choosing Warner leaves Matt Leinart as the odd man out. The former USC standout and sometimes “playboy” had a horrible outing 2 weeks ago against the Raiders, throwing 3 INTs in less than a half, but he rebounded greatly in this week’s Broncos game.

Regardless of who head coach Ken Whisenhunt and the coaching staff chose to start, us Cardinals fans (yes, I regret to admit that) expect to see both QBs before season’s end. In fact, I think we’ll see Leinart start at least 1 game by week 5.

Tough choice by the Cardinals, but it’s probably the best option for making the playoffs. They can’t afford to start slowly or get behind in games early. With Warner, they put their best foot forward and give themselves a stronger chance to win.
