As you already know, the NFL offseason is never easy to deal with if you're a hardcore fan. You experience with-drawls, sleeplessness, and the occasional hot flash. Oh wait, that's just me? Okay never mind. My point is, life can be hard when you aren't able to watch your favorite team compete on Sundays. I'm always trying to fill Revenge of the Birds with new content and this is the best time to do so. Beginning this week, I'll be putting together an Arizona Cardinals/Celebrity look-a-like segment called, Casting for the Cardinals. If a studio were to create a movie about the Arizona Cardinals, who would play each coach and player? That's what I will attempt to figure out this offseason.
The first person up for consideration is head coach Ken Whisenhunt. I've often thought of a certain celebrity that would fit perfectly for the "Whiz", so using him in our first segment was the easiest choice for me. Without further wait, the celebrity that will play Ken Whisenhunt is after the jump...
Ed Harris
Harris was an easy pick for obvious reasons. The hair, the way they carry themselves, the eyes, and the overall look that they give off. I can completely see Harris playing coach Whisenhunt in a feature film and if it ever happened, he'd be the guy. Am I the only one who thinks they were separated at birth?
Alternate candidate: Woody Harrelson
Every Sunday I'll list another player/celebrity, but I'd like to get your feedback too. If you have any suggestions, send them to revengeofthebirds@gmail.com. Or If you don't agree with my picks, who do you think would be the better option?

I think Ed Harris would be a lot better than Harrelson.
Ed Harris is a much better actor in the dramatic roles. When I see Harrelson all I can remember is his Zombieland and Semi-Pro characters.
Or Woody Boyd
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.
I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
Ed Harris was the first to come to mind.
Although if Hollywood made a movie they’d probably cast Tom Cruise or something.
A little hair coloring and tv effects should do the trick
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.
Revenge of the Birds
At first impression I thought Whisenhunt looked like Ed Harris, so obviously he’s the first person to come to my mind. He’s also got the chops to carry the role easily.
Woody Harrelson? His best roles are always characters that are a little bit goofy or strange. I couldn’t take him seriously as Whis. If the movie is a comedy he’d be worth thinking about.
I like the Daniel Craig suggestion. He’s a great actor that until playing Bond was not exactly well known. He’s also my favorite Bond. Took the role back to what the original books represent.
I agree Daniel Craig it is our own 007 Wiz. Conery still my favorite Bond but Craig is very very good.

Ed Harris
can make people disappear with a single glance.

I'll go along with Harris
but Craig would be a better alternate than Harrelson. For that matter, I think William Hurt would be as well.
new contender
I think the 2 selected are borderline wimpy and would not make our coach feel good about himself. I submit Jason Statham as an option. He is tougher and would be a good option for a smash mouth coach…and of course he too has a hair follicle problem.

lol
He can just kick every other coaches ass if they don’t agree with him.

Revenge of the Birds
Maybe in attitude and bad-assery
But the face just isn’t working =b
Sure, he’s usually portrayed as sarcastic and a touch eccentric, but I’m pretty sure he could parlay that into a Lott-esque swagger. Odd, comedic one-liners with sources unknown? Check!
Alan Tudyk, anyone?
Yeah, I was going on his ability to pull off the attitude.
I can distinctively picture Statham standing over a NFL hopeful at the bench press and yelling in his face.
