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…
Eric Smith hit Anquan Boldin so hard, he knocked himself out.
Some people are fans of the Arizona Cardinals. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Arizona Cardinals. This 2017 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here.
The great Sean Gentille of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has alerted us to the existence of a highly enjoyable video that can be found on the Twitter feed of former Steelers and Cardinals running back Rashard Mendenhall.
Cardinals wide receiver Marquis Bundy was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and failure to obey a police officer over the weekend outside a club in Scottsdale, Ariz. Per initial reports, it sounded like a fairly garden-variety drunken late-night “scuffle.” The arrest video, published today by TMZ, shows…
ESPN’s Mark Adams related a story he says Rick Pitino told him years about about the resilience of the 2008 Arizona Cardinals, who lost to the Patriots 47-7 and went on to win the Super Bowl. Perhaps Pitino turned the game off with 40 seconds left?
On the Arizona Cardinals’ New Year’s Day season finale win over the Rams, Cardinals running back David Johnson suffered a scary-looking knee injury, later classified as an MCL sprain. Let’s check in on him.
