Arizona Cardinals' Steve Breaston finds some things to say
Receiver Steve Breaston sat at his locker Monday night after the Cardinals' sixth consecutive loss, certain he didn't have much to say. Then he quietly vented for several minutes about the losing streak and the 3-8 record. "This is what we are right now," he said, "but deep down inside, I don't believe this is us. People can say what they want, and they rightfully can say that, but as a team we're not going to fall back and accept that. "There are some people on this team who have been through some trying times, and they responded. I think the people on this team know how to respond. I don't know what's going on. I'm just sick of losing. And right now, I said I wasn't going to talk about it, but I'm sitting here, rambling. "Ever since I got here, I never been part of nothing like this. I been through some downs where we get knocked out, and we responded. So this is one of those trying times. We need something. We need a fire. It might be one guy winning a game by himself."
Former NFL QB Kurt Warner helps Bills WR Steve Johnson through Twitter - National Sports Twitter | Examiner.com
By now, everybody knows the story about Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson and his rant on Twitter following Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Johnson was frustrated about his dropped 40-yard pass in the end zone during overtime—which would have given the Bills their third-straight win. Johnson has been kicking himself over the last 48 hours for the dropped pass, but the best thing the breakout wide receiver can do is move on—which is what former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is helping him do.

Derek Anderson Rant Mocked By Dwight Howard And Ken Whisenhunt - Desert Dirt - SB Nation Arizona
It's really no surprise to see Dwight Howard (comic, Orlando Magic) mocking Derek Anderson's now infamous Monday Night Football press conference rant.

ProFootballWeekly.com - D.R.C. likely target of Wilson's criticism
When veteran Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson recently took an indirect shot at some of the team's younger players for being a bit too lax, we hear one player he was almost certainly referring to was Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The loosey-goosey third-year cornerback is the polar opposite of the dead-serious Wilson in terms of demeanor, and team insiders tell us Wilson was far from happy with the lack of effort Rodgers-Cromartie blatantly displayed late in the Week 11 loss to the Chiefs.

Boo birds rile Antrel Rolle - NFC East Blog - ESPN
New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle isn't afraid to speak his mind, and on Tuesday, he took dead aim at his team's fans. Apparently Rolle believes that players should be granted immunity from booing after falling behind 17-6, as the Giants did Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's funny that Rolle seemed so excited to leave Arizona behind and perform on a bigger stage, but now he's discovering the downside. Fans in New York/New Jersey are more in touch with their emotions during games, and that's how they came to rain down boos on the Giants on Sunday.

Derek Anderson becomes the butt of NBA jokes | ProFootballTalk
If Magic Johnson does get involved with moving an NFL team to Los Angeles, it’s safe to say Derek Anderson will not be that team’s quarterback. Johnson was one of two NBA types who ripped Anderson on Tuesday for laughing on the sideline during the Cardinals’ loss to the 49ers, then blowing up at a reporter afterward.
How I See It: NFC West Stock Watch - NFC West Blog - ESPN
Ken Whisenhunt, Cardinals coach. Losing at home by double-digit margins to average or below-average division rivals will drag down any coach's stock. Seattle and San Francisco have beaten the Cardinals by a combined 39 points in Arizona's past two home games. Arizona has lost six in a row overall. Four of the six defeats came against teams that currently have losing records. There are no indications the Cardinals have hit bottom. If Whisenhunt had the ability to stop this free-fall, he would have done it by now.

Yes, NFC West should have playoff berth - NFC West Blog - ESPN
The eight division winners and four wild-card teams qualify for postseason. The arrangement makes sense in theory. The reality this season: Sixteen teams have better records than any team in the NFC West. No team in the NFC West has a winning record. No team in the division has even a .500 record.

Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports that Rolle is hacked off the fans at New Meadowlands Stadium have been booing the team on occasion. Uh oh. (Crybaby)

Tom Brady Should Let Nature Take Its Hairy Course -- NFL FanHouse
Say it ain't so, Tom. The world's most accomplished quarterback is not really in the market for hair plugs, is he? Why not just go ahead and start carrying a blow dryer into the huddle? It's not that hair plugs are necessarily effeminate, or that there's anything wrong with being effeminate. Ah, enough with the political correctness. Of course there's something wrong if you're an NFL quarterback.
