Some people are fans of the Arizona Cardinals. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Arizona Cardinals. This 2018 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here.
Statistically, Tre Boston was one of the NFL’s better cover safeties last season, when he played for the Chargers. He figured he’d cash in when he hit free agency, only to languish until July 25, when he signed with the Cardinals for one year, $1.5 million, with incentives that could push those earnings up to around…
Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones was reportedly arrested by Scottsdale Police over the weekend and charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and criminal trespassing. From the information available, the arrest happened for a very dumb reason: He really had to go to the bathroom.
The Arizona Cardinals announced Tuesday that general manager Steve Keim has been suspended for five weeks and fined $200,000 for driving under the influence the night of July 4, when he was arrested at a checkpoint in Chandler, Arizona with a blood alcohol level of 0.193, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08.
Arizona Cardinals President Michael Bidwill, who used his team’s site to support Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, went on a conservative radio show Wednesday to continue to push for his old high school pal. Bidwill also bellyached about how unfair it is to be criticized for requiring that NFL players only…
Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim misidentified his job when pulled over and cited for DUI on July 4, and told police that he “works” with an officer who died four years ago, according to the police report. [Update, see below.]
As the case of Colin Kaepernick has shown, silent demonstration is employment poison in the NFL. If a person wants to push their political views, it’s best to be in charge of a team, so they can also co-opt said team’s website and Twitter account to stump for an old high school chum.
Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim was charged with driving under the influence after a traffic stop in Arizona the night of July 4, reports KTAR News 92.3. AZ Central says Keim was nabbed by a checkpoint in Chandler, southeast of Phoenix, just after midnight on July 5, and was released from custody later…
Former UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen was selected with the 10th overall pick in last night’s NFL draft, behind fellow quarterback prospects Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Allen. Living up to his pre-draft reputation as a guy who speaks his mind, Rosen admitted in post-draft interviews that he was pretty salty…
After marching to the Arizona State Capitol today to demand gun reform, a group of student protestors headed over to Gov. Doug Ducey’s office to deliver him a signed letter with their requests. The governor’s staff told the students that Ducey was unavailable and could not meet with them, but the protestors stuck…
Sam Bradford had a great first week of the 2017 NFL season as he threw for 346 yards and three TDs in the Vikings’ 29-19 victory over the Saints. Then he bruised his knee, missed the next three weeks, returned, re-injured his knee in Week 5, had knee surgery in November, and didn’t play again.
Arizona head coach Bruce Arians is retiring after five seasons at the helm of the Cardinals and after 42 total years as a football coach.
Arizona’s Phil Dawson tried a chip-shot kick against Washington to start the second half, but all that usually does is prevent something really, really bad from happening against your own team. This time, however, with the receiving unit confused and the ball taking a weird hop, the Cards won a complicated onside kick…
A botched pass play by the Jacksonville Jaguars gave Blaine Gabbert the opportunity to defeat his former team, as a Blake Bortles incompletion with 37 seconds left in a 24-24 game gave the former Jaguars/current Cardinals QB just enough time to get his team into field goal range, when Jacksonville otherwise could have…
Because Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton are both injured, the Arizona Cardinals will be forced to start Blaine Gabbert at quarterback this week. Gabbert’s been in the league since 2011 and has 38 career touchdowns to go along with 37 career interceptions; you last saw him helping the 2016 49ers put together a 2-14…
During an especially heated Sunday for the NFL, one fight late in the Cardinals-49ers game ended with one of my personal favorite NFL sights: an official, out of flags, throwing his hat in the air in order to call an additional penalty.
Adrian Peterson looked bad with the Saints. Awful, even. He was averaging just three yards a carry, his longest run was 11 yards, and it came on first and 20. He had carried the ball just 27 times.
Adrian Peterson has been demoted from Saint to Cardinal.
Larry Fitzgerald smoked Cowboys defensive backs all night Monday for one of the best performances of his career. The Cardinals receiver, who has infuriated defenders since the George W. Bush administration with both limited and Pro Bowl quarterbacks, caught 13 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. Without David…
Cardinals do-it-all star running back David Johnson left Sunday’s game against the Lions after injuring his wrist in the third quarter. Johnson reportedly dislocated his wrist, and based on what head coach Bruce Arians had to say to reporters today, the Cardinals are probably going to be without Johnson for quite some…
