    New Jo Sparks story up!!

    Thanks -- I appreciate the comments. My biggest problem is I'm always so positive they're going to win. I felt that way last year, and don't want to sound like a broken record. But there really is a huge difference around the facility. Last year at mini camp, you could see some of the...

    Trade w/the Giants? NOOOOOO!!!

    Everyone can relax. Remember, Larry Marmie is now the Rams defensive coordinator.

    Opinion on Redskins Article

    Does that link work? It works for me, but as I posted it ... and the deeper intricacies of computer technology elude me, maybe no one else can read it?

    Opinion on Redskins Article

    I found this curious ... and didn't know if anyone else had posted the link. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A21035-2004Jan15&notFound=true

    2004 Lot passes.

    $50 for the 10 games. Costs that much anyway -- but you park closer, and only those with passes can park there. It used to be the lots were full -- but I doubt that now. Get it while you can.

    Salisbury Staying at ESPN

    I'm not sure about the money - I'd guess it'd be more at the Cardinals - but the jobs are night and day. ESPN you work easy hours and no pressure -- the coaching world starts right off with ten hour days, and wouldn't change until training camp, at which time you move up to 14 hour days, without...

    Dennis Green Press Conference Article

    Ooops - you're right. Embarressing - as I actually lived in the Philly area during that time. Oh, well. Apologies to all.

    Fassel?

    Dennis Green's first words to Bill Bidwill were, "I want to coach the Arizona Cardinals", and then he proceeded to wow them. He knew all abou the team, the season, the players, and had lots of ideas on what to do. By contrast, Fassel wanted a nice dinner, knew nothing about the team or the...

    Knock on Woods

    I think the difference with Sullivan is that he had no ambition to be an OC -- and seemed to be taken by surprise by the job. He had no concept of clock management, or getting plays in on time. Most people have wanted the position -- on the way to being a head coach -- most of their careers...

    Did anyone hear Jurecki this morning say......

    From the St. Petersburg Times: "Kiffin will earn slightly less than $1.7-million per season. In contrast, Philadelphia defensive coordinator Jim Johnson just signed a deal that averages $900,000. Kiffin had two years left on a contract that paid him about $850,000 per season, meaning the Bucs...

    Let's all take a moment...

    My husband talked me into DirectTv -- I thought it was a bit more expensive than cable. We got it with the Tivo system. Now I'll never go back to anything else. If it wasn't for football, we'd never watch live television. And it has a wonderful instant replay button on your remote -- now...

    When will season tickets be on sale?

    What normally happens is they first allow last year's season ticket holders to renew. Then any seats left open are available for new season ticket holders.

    Dennis Green Press Conference Article

    Can you feel it? The buzz around town; the excitement in the air. Sports radio talking more about the Cardinals after their season than they normally do during the season. People thinking of exchanging basketball tickets for the NFL. There’s a new coach in town. “My background’s in the...

    FWIW - Jurecki said coaching search could be over very soon

    In listening to both Fassell and Green (in the press conferences), the impression I had was that Fassell was like a girl at the prom who'd suddenly discovered she was popular. I think it soothed any ruffled feelings to have a Snyder jet across the country to talk to him before the Cardinals...

    Pasquarelli: Cards have begun preliminary talks with Green

    Wasn't it Pascarelli who reported last year that Bryant Johnson wouldn't sign with the Cards for a very long time, as he was annoyed they signed Pace? He reported it less than 24 hours before Johson signed.

    Fassell's Press Conference

    Here's his comments - slightly edited. His conference was 6pm Arizona time Saturday, 1/3. An hour later than scheduled. I was looking forward to this trip; had a great relationship with the Bidwills when I came here, we did very well that year, and was looking forward to our meeting … had...

    What Sunday's game meant....to me

    Did you see HBO's Inside the NFL? Nate Poole at the end, yelling to Vikings fans: "GO HOME! YEAH, YOU CAN GO HOME NOW!" was hilarious. I don't think we were alone in getting really tired of the opposing fans.

    Danny Boy trying to head us off...

    I was told Joe Bugel, who's a weekly regular on KDUS, told them he'd been contacted by an unnamed coach to see if he would be interested in returning to the Cards as an Offensive Coordinator (or line guy? I'm not sure which). He reportedly was. As both are in San Diego, is it possible this...

    Danny Boy trying to head us off...

    Green referred to Parcells several times in his conference -- and mentioned he thought it possible to take the Cards to the playoffs in the first year, even while rebuilding. I think he'd dearly love to equal (or better) Parcell's work with the Cowboys. And he insisted the key to success was...

    Skorp is in the hospital

    I just spoke to his wife -- he's in ICU. He has a respiratory infection -- but went to Sunday's Cardinal game anyway. Probably not a good idea. She swears he's going to be fine -- but may be there a few more days. He is feeling better - he asked for ESPN today. Will update you all as we...

    Dennis Green Press Conference

    I've written up what I could, for those who didn't get a chance to hear it. TEMPE, ARIZONA: The former Minnesota Vikings coach held a press conference at the Cardinals training facility, after meeting with Rod Graves and Michael Bidwill. He wore a red shirt – which he noted was deliberate –...

    Both Blake and Shipp were injured -- for a couple of plays. Not games.

    Forget the #1 pick, Play the Spoiler!!!

    One of the guys to be let go was Jeep Chryst, the QB Coach. It'll be interesting to see who coaches this kid next year.

    Just curious how many think Poole would have landed in bounds had he not been pushed?

    Let's see if I can post this pic:

    press conference?

    Any coordinator on a team with a bye this week can be interviewed, but Friday is the last day. If they don't interview by Friday, then must wait until team is out of playoffs - whatever point that is. Also, they only named candidates that they have already contacted -- and pointedly said that...
