Eagles ship Zach Ertz to the Cards… but how much can he help?
Earlier today, the Cardinals continued to build their 2017 Pro Bowl squad by adding three-time Pro Bowler Zach Ertz to their roster. A.J. Green, J.J. Watt, and now Ertz? My goodness! Imagine if Larry Fitzgerald wanted to keep playing, 20-year-old me would be going absolutely nuts right now. ...

Okay, who thought a MNF Wild Card Game was a good idea?
Monday Night Football is great… for the fans. We always appreciate an extra night of NFL football. For the teams involved though, it’s not very appealing.

He’s allowed only 465 yards with six interceptions through 16 games. Now, you’...
