In Defense of Michael Bidwill: Context Matters for Cardinals’ Ticket Pricing

A Spark of Hope Before It’s Inevitably Extinguished: Arizona Cardinals Coach Gannon is Fired
The thing that everyone knew would happen actually happened: the Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon after a dismal 3-14 season that saw the team finish with the worst record in franchise modern history.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Makes Himself at Home in PV: Where Is He On the Field? (with an Addendum)
Marvin Harrison Jr. was perhaps the most hyped-up and heralded draft pick in the history of the Arizona Cardinals since perhaps Larry Fitzgerald, and the comparisons are easy to make.
