Well what do you know, it looked like Brett Favre was going to retire, but the guy still wants to play. Just let it end, don't let yourself get banged up more than you already have been this year.
Hello! You Play To Win The Game
Losing for draft status makes no sense to Cards
Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald won't tolerate losing
Larry Fitzgerald has hungry eyes. He has visited 36 countries. The world is his playground. And the only place he wants to work is in Arizona. With a caveat
Arizona Cardinals' Jay Feely named NFC Special Teams Player of Week
Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in Sunday's 43-13 victory over the Denver Broncos. Feely scored 25 points against the Broncos by connecting on five field goals, four extra points and by scoring his first career touchdown on a 5-yard run on a fake field-goal attempt in the second quarter. His touchdown was the first by a Cardinals kicker and first in the NFL since Dallas' Tim Seder in 2001.

Arizona Cardinals' John Skelton had weeks of starting-QB preparation
When starting a rookie quarterback, a coach's worries begin well before the ball is snapped. Does the kid understand the play just sent in? Can he communicate it correctly in the huddle so everyone understands where he should be and what he should be doing? Those things cannot be taken for granted, and the Cardinals' John Skelton seems to have done a decent job at them Sunday during his first NFL start.
KTAR.com - Skelton's on the job training continues
Learning on the job can be difficult for anyone. Understanding strategies, getting to know your co-workers and learning company procedures can be overwhelming and cause issues for even the best of us. Now imagine having 60,000 people watching your every move and letting their displeasure be known by screaming and yelling at you. Think you could handle it? How about you at the age of 22? That's the task that faced Arizona Cardinals quarterback John Skelton last Sunday and will again in hostile North Carolina this week.

Mike Sando's MVP Watch - NFC West Blog - ESPN

Adrian Wilson, Cardinals SS. Arizona coaches credited Wilson with 13 tackles, putting him over 100 in a season for the third time in his career and the first time since 2005. Rookie linebacker Daryl Washington would have earned a spot on the list if he hadn't fumbled short of the end zone while celebrating an interception return.
Tim Hightower, Cardinals RB. The 49ers' Westbrook deserves a mention here, too, after coming through with a 62-yard scoring catch and key contributions as a pass protector. Hightower trumped him for the third and final spot on the list by finishing with 18 carries for 148 yards and two scores.
Who else? Feely wins special-teams award - NFC West Blog - ESPN
The NFL has named the Arizona Cardinals' Jay Feely its top special-teams player from the NFC in Week 14.
About that draft position …
The subject grew in debate as the Cardinals’ losing streak grew — Wouldn’t it be better for the Cards just to lose out and nab the highest draft pick possible? Andrew Luck, for goodness sake!. Well, we’ve heard coach Ken Whisenhunt keeps planning on winning. Players have their own reasons, but none point to losing as a good thing. Plus there is the schedule, which not only included the hapless Broncos visiting last weekend but a trip to reeling, one-win Carolina this weekend (I told you the Cards wouldn’t lose out).
Feely Earns NFC Honor
He nearly broke the NFL record for points from a kicker in a game and for a while, was the only scoring any points for either side – so much so that CBS put up a graphic at one point declaring the score "Jay Feely 22, Denver 3."

Willy from Gilbert, Ariz., writes: I am a Cardinals season-ticket holder and I am trying to find the scenario that puts the Cardinals in the playoffs. Obviously, the Cards have to win out, but the Rams and Seahawks still play each other, meaning one of them will win seven games. Wouldn't we lose a tie breaker against either team?
