Arizona Cardinals Bird Droppings: Where Matt Leinart Is Finally Handed The Team

Ever since elder statesmen Kurt Warner officially retired, Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt has been coy about Matt Leinart's status as the team's starting quarterback going into next season. Did he finally hand the team over to Hot Tub Hero?

Fox Sports Arizona | Leinart's time to shine
Leinart, finally, certainly, is the Arizona Cardinals’ starting quarterback as team goes through offseason training activities to prepare for 2010, and never mind that the team signed former Cleveland starter Derek Anderson as a free agent before the draft. Every team needs a capable No. 2.

azcardinals.com | Happy To Be Here
Dean Muhtadi. The happiest man on the face of the earth. Or at least in the NFL. The grin rarely leaves his face, his enthusiasm doesn’t dwindle. He’s a long shot, and he knows it, but when had that ever deterred him?

azcardinals.com | For a Day, Bowling Not Football
The secret isn’t such a secret anymore, but that doesn’t make the Cardinals any less grateful when coach Ken Whisenhunt yanks one of the organized team activities off the table in favor of a trip to the bowling alley – like he did Friday.

Word From the Birds Blog | Dock and the Sheik
It’s hard not to root for a guy like Dean Muhtadi, as I noted in my column yesterday. But he’s not just the underdog. He’s doing the Cardinals some good in becoming the workout partner of Darnell Dockett. It was a pairing suggested by strength coach John Lott.

Starting inside linebacker Gerald Hayes has been bothered by a balky back since last November, but with Cardinals training camp two months away, he doesn't see a reason for worry.

azcentral.com | Arizona Cardinals' O'Brien Schofield learned patience from life experience
It's hard to find profound gratitude in professional sports anymore, not with money and ego and expectations in the mix. Linebacker O'Brien Schofield, 23, is the exception. He looks at every new day of Cardinals' organized team activities as another gift under the Christmas tree.

foxsports.com | Retired QB Kurt Warner visits Chiefs at practice, offers encouragement
They were the last two quarterbacks to have started under Kansas City head coach Todd Haley. So it should be no surprise that Haley invited retired quarterback Kurt Warner to meet with Chiefs signal-caller Matt Cassel and address the club during Wednesday’s OTA practice at team headquarters.

We like us some football

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.

True true

I think everyone’s just burnt out on the hot tub jokes. It’s all kidding of course so I understand.

People can make fun of the beer bong thing and still be fans of Leinart ya know...

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].

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.

Thanks

And to clarify, for those that are unable to laugh at one’s team … I do think Leinart is a suitable QC going forward, and I support him as the starter.

If I made millions of dollars

I’d probably wanna get some girls into my hot tub too.

Wait, i’d need a hot tub first. And my wife would probably kill me….ok scratch that idea.

We all bleed Cardinal Red, but most of us don't recognize it!

The more I read about

Dean Muhtadi the more I love the guy. I hope we can keep him around, maybe even as just a gym rat to work out with the guys and keep them pumped.

They did mention he's practice squad eligible.

I hope he makes the team too, just to keep pushing 90. It can only help.

Def like the fact that he's motivated Dockett.

I'm not saying

You suck at writing. But, like Andrew said that joke has long since sailed from this site. Its not that I take football too serious (the lady would say otherwise ) , but did you enjoy the last time someone asked you "why’d the chicken cross the road? "

COME AT ME DAWG!

Ok but seriously. The only time the hot tub joke is fun anymore is when it comes up unexpectedly in conversation.

Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
