Shh, don't tell anyone ... I have a secret: people in Arizona like Kurt Warner. QUIET. It's on the dee-ell. Oh, and: Rex Hadnot hurt himself (not seriously) in voluntary workouts and the Cardinals' center can kick field goals fairly well. Take THAT, Jay Feely. Mention SB1070 again and you'll be snapping the ball this season!

azcentral.com | Tim Hightower is Arizona Cardinals' No. 1 running back, so far
In June, NFL depth charts are written very lightly in pencil, as if coaches were starting to fill out a crossword puzzle. One constant for the Cardinals this off-season, however, has been Tim Hightower as the No. 1 running back. Hightower started all last season over Beanie Wells, although Wells became the team's primary ball carrier in the latter half of the season.

The upside of off-season practices is that the base schemes are already in place when the team opens training camp in July. The downside is that injuries can occur.

The highlight of Wednesday? How could it not be center Lyle Sendlein booting a field goal — the only player among the 10 that tried — to "win" the day’s competition for the offense at the end of today’s OTA?

In an offseason that has featured rumblings from Arizona regarding discontent with new starting quarterback Matt Leinart, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt now says that the 10th overall pick in the 2006 draft is moving in the right direction.

I have been completely satisfied by some seasons, I have been satisfied but disappointed by other seasons, and a few seasons have just left me disappointed. Examples, you ask? Here is how some of the seasons (for all my teams) turned out for me.
NFC West Blog - ESPN | Sticker shock: Overvalued in the NFC West
Levi Brown, Cardinals left tackle. Brown's base salary jumps from less than $700,000 last season to $3.225 million this season. He also receives a $3.675 million roster bonus for the third year in a row. The compensation isn't out of line for a starting left tackle, but Brown hasn't performed to his draft status. He committed 10 penalties last season, an inexcusable total regardless of salary.

Cardinals DE Calais Campbell, RB Tim Hightower, and center Lyle Sendlein are all, according to ESPN's Mike Sando, bang-for-your-buck players in the NFC West.

Not NFL related
But anyone have some thoughts on the blown call from the Tigers game last night?

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
Sucks for him, but I bet it won't be overturned.
It’s already been admitted to being a screwed up call by the ump but if they go and reverse it so he has a perfect game than that opens it up for every bad call in the past to be reviewed and reversed. Even though I feel bad for the pitcher and it sucks that a very rare feat was taken away from him, it more than likely will stay that way.
One thing Bud Selig could do to calm down some of the pissed off fans about this is to expand the instant replay to include plays just like this one.
It's not like it would be done without precedent
Fay Vincent overturned 50 no-hitters for various reasons in 1991. I know we are talking about Bud here, but it has happened before.

2 sides
Theres two sides to every story and the last place I personally want to see politics rearing it’s head is this beloved fan site. Please do not mix sports and politics. I come here to talk football and not to here opinions, however slight, on SB1070.
It's called a joke
I don’t care about Feely’s opinion on SB1070. It was a joke referencing him giving his opinion on the bill the other day.

Considering it was a joke that had to do with what a Cardinal player said
I don’t have a problem with it. The day someone comes on here addressing political issues that are not Cardinal-related will be when I take action.
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.

Sorry Justin
not trying to stir the pot. It’s just real easy for things to head in that direction. Especially
around here: See – Los Suns. Everyone is welcome to their opinions. I just don’t want to see this site turn into any kind of political forum.

I'm gonna guess this might be the last year of the UFL
It just has not gained any traction at all

Yeah and a lot of former NFLers have been added to the fold.
DeWayne White, Shawn Andrews, Frank Walker, Devard Darling, Ronald Curry, Kenny Peterson, Nate Webster, Hollis Thomas, Nate Ferguson and Anthony Montgomery just to name a few. I’m just ready for any football, except arena and soccer.

Larry Fitzgerald will be on NFL Live today
Its on right now, and I know they re-air it a couple times a day. If I can get a video of his appearance I’ll post it on here later.

Tim Hasselbeck was pretty complimentary to Leinart.
They showed a video of how bad his footwork was in 2007, and then compared it to the Titans game where it looked like he was better in his drops and he had better timing. And he said that there is no shame in being beaten out by a guy [Warner] who was playing at an MVP level during the last 3 years.
He said don’t be surprised if Leinart is good this year, and if the Cardinals win the division again.

Indeed
Not too mention Tim Hasslebeck would know if Leinart improved or not…I liked the analysis he provided…watch it folks!
You could see a big difference in the videos he showed.
The 49ers game videos showed when he got sacked trying to scramble around, and when he was picked off on a shovel pass. The Titans game videos had one of his passes to Larry and the screen to Doucet.
