Dear Bidwills, Rod Graves and the Cardinals Players:
I want to thank you for your sagacity and diligence for hiring an excellent new head coach in Ken Whisenhunt. While I was non-plussed (to put it euphemistically) about the initial search process...I was delighted to learn how well you were doing your homework and how impressively you were in welcoming the Cardinal players' involvement and input in the process. Then, to learn that you are willing to provide Ken Whisenhunt with the autonomy and the proper budget to build the best coaching staff possible, I was delirious. These surely are new and exciting times in Arizona...and I cannot thank you enough for getting "with the situation." As the enlightened Ebenezer Scrooge said to Bob Cratchet, "I haven't lost my senses, Bob, I've come to them!" And I think this is an appropriate allusion because it now seems all of you "know how to keep Christmas well...if any man alive possessed the knowledge." So, I say to you Mr. Bidwill, Michael and Rod Graves...and all the staff and players (and the fans on ASFN...led by Skkorp) associated with the Cardinals: "God bless us, everyone!"
And I wish to say how proud I am of the Cardinal players...who showed me and all the fans that despite a lame duck coach and zero prospects of making the playoffs that you could play your butts off for yourselves down the stretch...I wish to offer my most sincere gratitiude and appreciation. You have showed such character throughout these awkward and difficult times...so much so that I honestly now BELIEVE you want to win...and you want to do what it takes to win...and to think of how you impacted the coaching search, by making yourselves available, and for offering your input, makes a statement to all of us that you have clearly taken the direction of this organization into your own hands. I fervently hope that you work as hard as you ever had to get in the best playing shape possible so that you will be the Saints of 2007-2008...after all, you have a unique incentive...the Super Bowl is in YOUR HOUSE!
Thus, I commend and applaud all of you and wish you the diligence and foresight to know and embrace the challenge ahead of you. I've been your fan for half a century and now, fifty years into my devotion to this franchise, I am the most ecstatic I have ever been. I will be with you every step through the vicissitudes of the season ahead...and I will be the proudest fan in the NFL for the efforts you make to raise Arizona from the ashes. Get'r done, boys! Get'r done!
Sincerely yours,
Walter Mitchell

P.S. I would like to give a special shout out to you, Adrian Wilson and Anquan Boldin, my men. For both of you brought it every game this year...and you decided, unlike many of your overpaid, underachieving predecessors, to be part of the solution, and not the problem. You are awesome, AW-awesome and Q-some! Go and represent us well in Honolulu. You deserve it! Sincerely yours...Mitch.
