In a weird way, it’s almost MORE possible this year than it was last. I mean, let’s face it… no matter how much some people wanted [...]

To me it’s almost more interesting to go around to NFL blogs and see what other fans are saying about the upcoming Super Bowl than it is to see what professional sports writers are saying.  Here are a few links about the Cardinals that I have found interesting…

The college football season is over, and there’s only one more game (well, two if you count the pro bowl, I guess) in the NFL season, which means it’s time for draft speculation to begin.
Last week, ESPN’s draft “guru” Mel Kiper released his first mock draft.  Here is the first round…

Former Vikings running back Mewelde Moore now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, so he will be going to his first Super Bowl.

Earlier I wrote that the Rams had received permission to interview Vikings Special Teams Coordinator Paul Ferraro.
I just read an article on Access Vikings (on the Star Tribune website) that said that Ferraro has officially joined the Rams as their linebackers coach.

Coach Childress has given the Rams permission to talk to Special Teams Coordinator Paul Ferraro.  Ferraro is friends with the Rams new head coach, and will likely get the job there.
To be perfectly blunt…. good riddance.
Our special teams were AWFUL this year.  Completely terrible.  I wanted to see Ferraro out of that job anyway.
So, Paul [...]
