Deadspin: Kurt Warner

Tyler Palko Is Not The Next Kurt Warner

Conor Hastings — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 10:40:00 EST

During Monday Night Football last week, Ron Jaworski briefly speculated that Tyler Palko was following the Kurt Warner archetype, of a guy who bumbles around for a while before finally getting his shot in the NFL. As Jaws pointed out, Kurt Warner didn't get his first NFL start until he was 28 years old—just like Palko. More »

Kurt Warner Talks Dancing, Theodicy On His Good Day L.A. Interview

Emma Carmichael — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:40:00 EDT

Good Day L.A. Interview" alt="Click here to read Kurt Warner Talks Dancing, Theodicy On His Good Day L.A. Interview" src="http://cache.deadspin.com/assets/images/11/2011/04/small_explore_deadspin_videos_659.jpg"/>

Of all places for Kurt Warner to get backed up against a wall, and then repeatedly and viciously head-butted about his religion, a Good Day L.A. interview was not our first guess. But yesterday, the former NFL quarterback and born-again Christian joined Jillian Reynolds, Steve Edwards, and Dorothy Lucey to talk about his career, his family, his dancing ability, and the absolute particulars of his religious beliefs. Because talk about a "fallen world" where "sin has taken over" goes great with a morning cup of coffee. More »

Jeff Suppan Will Win For You, But He Will Not Let You Clone Him

Leitch — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 11:45:35 EDT

So since we've been in the Midwest this week, we've appreciated the primal pleasure of a good political attack ad. Most of the races in New York aren't close, so everyone's all nicey-nice in their ads. Not so in Missouri, where there's not only a brutal Senate battle between Jim Talent and Claire McCaskill, but also an Amendment about stem cell research on the ballot. We're not going to get into details, because politics gives us a headache, but the point is, Michael J. Fox, rather deep into his Parkinson's now, filmed an ad for McCaskill that has proven damaging, so Talent has enlisted, in response to Fox's ad ... some athletes to have his back. More »

As Pink Taco Leaves, Leinart Arrives

Leitch — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 16:15:18 EDT

As many of you know by know, the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals, ignoring pleas from the unwashed masses, have sold the naming rights to their new stadium. And, as would be expected, it's the most idiotic name possible: The University Of Phoenix Stadium. The name is confusing — so they're in Glendale now, but they were in Tempe, but they were called Phoenix, and now they play in Phoenix Stadium ... argh! — and it's even more bewildering that the Buzzsaw actually approached the "University," rather than the other way around. And what's the acronym going to be? Will they go to the UPS the way they went to the BOB? More »

Buzzsaw Savior Finally Gets MVP Trophy

Leitch — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 11:25:38 EDT

We feel like we should let you know this: We are a part of the vast pro-Arizona Cardinals media conspiracy. We're not some Johnny Come Latelys either; we have loved The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals since they were in St. Louis. We know there is an excess of Arizona Cardinals coverage, so we apologize for contributing to it. But we're little eight-year-old fans when it comes to The Buzzsaw; forgive us. More »
