Former Cardinal's Linebacker Calvin Pace Suspended 4 Games
"I am responsible for what I put into my body and I should have paid closer attention to the League's guidelines. I regret that this has happened and apologize to my teammates, the entire Jets organization as well as the fans," Pace said. "Hopefully, this does not distract from our ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl."

Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner Update: For the second consecutive week, Irishcardinal wins our "Caption this" contest and this week it's a complete blowout with his caption receiving nine recommends/votes. The turnout was much better this week so look for our contests to become a weekly event and hopefully someone can knock Mr. Irish off his pedestal.
ROTB's second official "caption this" contest kicks off today with a picture of Arizona Cardinals greats, Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald. Last week our picture contest was won by IrishCardinal who's winning caption generated four votes and finishing a close second was badmatty who's caption garnered three votes. We'll name the winner sometime tomorrow afternoon so think fast and get your caption and votes in quickly. The winner will receive bragging rights about all things Cardinals until the next 'caption this pic' contest. Instructions for recommending are after the jump. Enjoy.

Anquan Boldin Over Rated?
He thinks he's Larry Fitzgerald but he isn't. He's a good player, but not one of the top five receivers as some would have you think.

Arizona Cardinals Weekly Flock: Everybody Loves Rankings Right Edition

- Positional QB Rankings - Essentially, the Cards are 1½ players deep at QB, led of course by the veteran Warner — coming off leading the Cards to their first Super Bowl appearance. Hall of Fame or not, even in his late 30s he delivers huge passing numbers (4,583 yards, 30 TDs in 2008). The big question: If Kurt got hurt last year, could Matt Leinart have led 'Zona to the Super Bowl? Likely not, though at least Leinart's working hard this offseason.
- Defensive tackle rankings - Darnell Dockett analysis: He is quick and relentless and was a big reason whey the Cardinals made it to the Super Bowl. His contract issue is clouding things heading into this season.
- Top 50 Players - One name on this year's list is sure to ignite the you-know-what storm. It's Andre Johnson, the Houston Texans receiver, who is fourth on my list. Some might say he's not even the best receiver in the league -- with Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald getting the nod -- but I beg to differ.
- Dockett wants top-5 money - No real surprise here but via Twitter: "I want to thank Rod Woodson and @jamiedukes. For picking me in the NFL TOP 5 D-tackels "I wish I can get paid like the top 5"
- NFL's top defensive tackles - Though he fails to play to his potential consistently, few defensive tackles are capable of taking over a game like Dockett, which makes his inclusion on this list mandatory.
- Keyshawn Johnson on Anquan Boldin - "I keep seeing where Anquan Boldin wants to be traded from Arizona, or he wants to be paid like Larry Fitzgerald,'' Johnson said. "Anquan, you're a glorified T.J. Houshmandzadeh, so cut it out. They're the same player. You want $11 million? Why don't you take the $8 million they're offering and be happy? You're not Larry Fitzgerald.''
- Rashad Johnson's Impact - The last two times the Cardinals have drafted a safety -- Antrel Rolle doesn’t count -- it came in the third round. Adrian Wilson turned out to be a pretty good pick. Rashad Johnson hopes people will one day say the same about him.
-
The fastest Card - Who ya got? Breaston or DRC? Oh wait, should Garvin be in the race as well?

Wow! Playing in the Superbowl and settling in to the new stadium got the Arizona Cardinals a 51 place jump from 84th to 33rd in ESPN's (fairly meaningless and arbitrary) Ultimate Standings of 122 pro sports franchises. You can look at all the teams here.

Calvin Pace Gets Supended for Four Games
by TBru

The NFL has suspended Jets linebacker Calvin Pace for four games without pay for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Pace will miss New York’s first four games of the season and will be eligible to return for the Jets’ Monday night game at Miami on Oct. 12.
In a statement issued by the team Thursday, Pace said the suspension is a result of taking an over-the-counter dietary supplement that he was unaware violated the NFL’s policy.
Pace, in his second season with the Jets, is eligible to participate in preseason practices and games.

Chance of NFL Lockout "100 percent"
A league source says that Charlie Batch warned the rookies at the Rookie Symposium that there's a "100 percent" chance of a league-imposed lockout in 2011.
I have no idea how or why Batch would have that information but some speculation is that the owners are throwing that threat out there to help them at the negotiation table.

Uh Oh, Is Darnell Dockett Really Going to Hold out of Training Camp?

I know the subject of Darnell Dockett's Twitter page was somewhat controversial last time we brought it up but his response to a ROTB 'tweet' this morning just couldn't be ignored. Darren Urban has mentioned DD's twitter page a couple of times and he posted a story about his twitter-offensive yesterday afternoon centered about a question about why players should live up to their contract when organizations aren't willing to do the same. That's another story for another day because today he hinted that he might not report to Arizona Cardinals training camp (which is 30 days away for those interested). Here's the back and forth from this morning:
From our very own ROTB: 30 days and counting until players report....@ddockett you gonna be there right????
And the response from Darnell Dockett about four hours later.....
@AZROTB I've never killed anyone to my knowledge so I wouldn't want u to hold ur breath.
