Seasons of Discontent

Saying goodbye sucks.  Call me a dope but ever since Kurt Warner burst onto the NFL scene in 1999 I’ve loved the guy.  I suppose it’s a bit surprising that I was such a big fan of a player on an opposing team, but did you live through the 1999-2004 Cardinals?  Those were not good [...]

Things I am not above:  Begging for Kurt Warner to stay.  Although I’m certain Number 13 is going to hang up his cleats tomorrow I will take this opportunity to beg him to stay in the matter most befitting SoD – whiny love music.  When you are enjoying each of the glorious 4 minutes of [...]

Kurt Warner is going to hold a press conference on Friday.  I won’t bury the lead on you, this just sucks.  Although he hasn’t actually said he’ll retire yet (Warner is currently out of the country), you don’t call a press conference to announce you’re staying unless you’re former KU coach Roy Williams.  As one [...]

Everyone knows I’m as big of a Kurt Warner guy as there is out there so imagine my feelings when I logged onto my computer this morning and saw this headline:
Sources: Kurt Warner of Arizona Cardinals expected to retire
Already nervous about Cards/Packers and coming off blown leads by the Suns Friday night and K-State Saturday [...]

Taking care of business.  That was the name of the game when the Cards took on the walking dead that was the St. Louis Rams.  As if the Rams needed to be any worse, they were without Steven Jackson thus introducing the world to the Anti-Triplets – Keith Null, Kenneth Darby, and Donnie Avery.  Predictably [...]

I’m not sure whether this speaks more towards my level of expectation for the Cardinals in their Sunday night game against the Vikings or whether it just provides a glaring example of my overwhelming pessimism – but as Zim can attest I took the 49ers/Seahawks game VERY seriously.  Desperately wanting to avoid seeing the Cards [...]

Can I just make this entire post a long sigh?  As the morning games were kicking off I (along with the rest of the world) discovered that Kurt Warner would not in fact be making the start for the Cards and that it would be Matt Leinart running the offense.  Obviously with Matt in the [...]
