CARDINALS - TITANS REPORT CARD It was a crushing defeat! It was the kind of defeat that gnaws at you ..eats at you. What happened today in the shadows of Graceland will be tough to get over. It takes time to recover from a loss like this. Who knows how long it will take? ..or what toll it will take? I'm referring to the Cardinals faithful, of course. The team will fly ...

Cardinals' quarterback Kurt Warner, who has been nothing short of spectacular ever since that five interception outing against Carolina a month ago, has been ruled out for todayÆs game against the Titans in Tennessee. Warner, it seems, woke up with blurred vision this morning, and was made inactive by head coach Ken Whizenhunt. Warner took himself out of the Rams game last week after a face-plant gave him a slight ...

One year ago, the Arizona Cardinals had just dispatched the reigning division champion Seattle Seahawks up in the great northwest, sending the 12th (13th, etc..) man home in shock and sorrow. The Cardinals, of course, havenÆt had much success there. That they just beat the Seahawks in Seattle, putting them at 7-3, felt fantastic! I mean, you long time fans know that as the leaves changed colors ...

Its a good sign, I suppose, when this ôTale of 2 teamsö Cardinals bunch manages to end up on the winning side when all is said and done, regardless how they got there. A win is a win is a win, and all that. But what happened today in what Darnell Dockett calls æThe LOUÆ gave a clear illustration to those few that still donÆt think æHall of FameÆ when ...

The Cardinals cruised over another hurdle Sunday afternoon in Glendale, and in doing so, took another baby step toward true credibility. The "lose at home after a big road win" semi-trend they started to develop was wiped out by a resilient, confident comeback home win over a feisty Seattle Seahawks team. The æHawks came out from the get-go, playing with confidence and pride and taking a 14-point second quarter lead. But Kurt ...

When youÆve produced decades of sub-par play before the faithful, itÆll take a while to build true credibility. ThatÆs even more true in the most fair-weather city in America, where people the world over visit, vacation, or move here, seemingly just to espouse their fair-weatherness. Loyalty is another matter, as witnessed by the sudden outbreak of Cardinals fan-dom over the past year. ItÆs the essence of true fair-weatherness. Of course, there ...

ôYes, IÆll have the crow, rare, and ummmm...letÆs see. (long pause) OK, and a Kool-Aid to wash it down. Extra large, please.ö The one hard thing about picking winners and losers where your opinion is shared with thousands is when your pick turns out to be laughable. Not even close. Ridiculously off-base. A prognosticating nightmare. A joke. Cris Collinsworth-like. The Cardinals and Panthers have played, on average, once ...

The Cardinals have had two straight æstatementÆ games, and came through with increasing volume with each. Their slapping around of former perennial division champ Seattle said in no uncertain terms, that the Cardinals WILL defend their division title. They did so in a 27-3 shellacking up in the great Northwest, where the 12th man was used to going home happy as the Big Dread suffered another painfully ...

For many years, the Arizona Cardinals were the pennies of Halloween. Or the apple. Or any other unwrapped or otherwise useless waste of time and energy item that made you wish you just skipped that house. You walk up having no idea if what you get now will be better than what the last house had to offer, but you always have high expectations. Or at least, you hold out hope.áá As ...

This was sweet. for long suffering and recent bandwagoners, this was the kind of win the Cardinals needed to prove to the world that they are, if fact, a Championship caliber team thatÆs just as viable as anyone else in football. It was a defensive gem for the ages. The list of individual stars is long in this one. But if IÆm, going to give a game ball to anyone, its ...
