What the Cardinals want in their corners - NFC West Blog - ESPN
As Darren Urban pointed out, former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback William Gay has suggested he'll be signing with the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals needed help at the position after losing Richard Marshall to Carolina. Gay, who visited Arizona in free agency, would fit the team quite well because Arizona's defensive coordinator, Ray Horton, coached him in Pittsburgh. This signing would be a telling one for the Cardinals. Gay is about as different from Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie as a cornerback could be. Rodgers-Cromartie, a first-round pick for Arizona in 2008, stands 6-foot-2 and has blazing speed, but he did not provide much of a physical presence.

NHL-leading Blues shut out Coyotes in Glendale
With their competition for the final three playoff spots in the Western Conference all idle on Sunday, a golden opportunity to climb the standings dangled in front of the Coyotes.

The St. Louis Blues, vying for the President's Trophy for the most points in the league, wouldn't be doormats but they were gracious visitors, offering up a steady stream of power plays for the Coyotes. But the team's woes with the man advantage continued as they dropped a 4-0 decision to the Blues in front of 12,585 at Jobing.com Arena.
