Not much to report right now since it is the Bye Week right now. It would be nice if everyone votes for Max Hall so he can win the rookie of the week thing...
There is also a video of Favre being hit in the crotch with a football if anyone wants to see that.
Max Belief
The Cardinals will follow Max Hall. That already is obvious. Understanding why they will follow the quarterback is more nebulous.

Chat wrap: QB questions dominate - NFC West Blog - ESPN
Mike (Costa Mesa): The Cardinals have been exceeding expectations consistently since Ken Whisenhunt took over the team. Although they have, admittedly, performed extremely poorly at times, they have also performed over and above expectations in big games. What is it going to take for the Cardinals to start getting a little respect. After five weeks, they are in first place and yet supposed NFL "experts" are picking the 0-5 49ers to win the division. After the 2008 season, Cris Collinsworth also said famously that the Cardinals were "the worst playoff team in the history of the NFL", and we know how that came out.

NFC West: Injury situations that matter - NFC West Blog - ESPN
Arizona: The Cardinals practiced Wednesday during their bye week. Most players will be off until Monday. Quarterback Max Hall reported some ankle soreness, but no significant injuries following his first NFL start. Receivers Steve Breaston and Early Doucet expect to return from injuries in time to face the Seahawks in Week 7. Their presence dramatically upgrades the talent at receiver while restoring flexibility to the return game. The Cardinals know they can trust Breaston to field punts in a hostile environment such as Qwest Field if they're in a pinch. Arizona's best receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, was coming off a sprained knee early in the season and it showed. He looked closer to full speed in Week 5 and the bye should restore him all the way. Inside linebacker Gerald Hayes could return after missing the first five games. Rules have prevented him from practicing while on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Hayes gets clearance next week. Arizona has lacked depth at that position and the run defense has suffered at times. Backup linebacker Reggie Walker suffered a hamstring injury against New Orleans, but as coach Ken Whisenhunt told reporters Wednesday, "Well, since we don’t have to have an injury report out this week, everybody is doing great."

Regular host Adrian Wilson is out because of the bye week, so it’ll be a local flavor, with two Mesa boys — quarterback Max Hall (Mesa Mountain View High School) and guard Deuce Lutui (Mesa High School) — as guests. If you can’t make it live, listen on Sports 620 KTAR, although it will be tape-delayed until after the Suns game.

Hit after hit, one that knocked Cutler woozy, I couldn't help but think that the poor offensive line play in the NFL wasn't just a Bears problem, but rather a league-wide issue.

Saints lacking swagger, red-zone efficiency - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Standing at his University of Phoenix stadium locker long after Sunday’s 30-20 upset of the Saints, Cardinals safety Kerry Rhodes was talking about the "complete game" his team had played for the first time in 2010. When I reminded him that good fortune had also played a role – twice rookie quarterback Max Hall fumbled forward and had teammates recover, with one play resulting in a second-quarter touchdown for tackle Levi Brown – Rhodes didn’t feel particularly apologetic. "That’s part of the game," he said. "Bounces like that happen. Those guys should know – they got a lot of bounces on the way to winning a championship last year."
