A source "close" to Andy Reid tells ESPN's Adam Schefter a deal with the Cardinals is "not close," though "some believe" he is Arizona's top choice.

Being fed contradictory information, Schefter concedes the only thing obvious about Reid and Arizona's courtship is that it is "never dull." Cards VP of Media Relations Mark Dalton tweeted Tuesday evening he's "99 percent sure that reports of a deal being 95 percent done are 100 percent incorrect." Very well then. NFL.com has reported Reid will stress his ability to "fix" Kevin Kolb in negotiations, while FOX Philadelphia believes talks could fall apart if Reid insists on being a package deal with confidant and recently deposed Browns GM Tom Heckert.

Miscommunication and trying to jump on a story it would seem.......however, we'll see once the actual interview takes place.

More and more, I get the feeling that Schefter, La Confora and others are "winging it." Contradictory reports are beginning to filter in from all over the place.

Regarding Reid's supposed plan to "fix" Kevin Kolb, unless Andy is calling up members of the media on an hourly basis, how would word of this get out to the press unless Andy or someone close to him was playing PR games.

Until its confirmed by Jay Glazer, I won't believe it.

Remember when we talked about hiring Kirk Freaking Ferentz every single year? Maybe we could get him into the mix.

It's pretty much a re-run of Manning's visit here. A lot of prognostication (which I was guilty of buying into) and rumors and innuendo.

Has Marcus Fitzgerald joined in yet? I think I'm going to wait and get excited when something is actually official.

I say we go for the media's throat on this one, and state that Jimmy Johnson has come forward with an interest and this sudden change of events has now put the Reid signing in limbo :)

My sources are telling me that the hang up with Reid has to do with the 401k and the team matching his contribution. He is however impressed with the vision plan, paid holidays, vacation on day one, and the premium parking.

I heard from a friend of a friend who has an uncle who knows a guy who might know the relative of a Cards front office member, and he told me that the Cards really want to right the wrongs of the past and give Buddy Ryan one more try as HC. Spread the word!

Fried chicken at the training camp buffet is also being negotiated. Andy will also play Santa at several charity functions in the area.

I just heard from a source that Peyton Manning may be suspended for the playoffs for marijuana distribution.. Adam Schefter should put a tweet about it out soon.
