Big Cards announcement on Thurs per Jurecki

[D-Dogg]

It is still working....just did it.

 

[azdad1978]

Rod Graves has been promoted to Senior VP of Player Devlopment and Dennis Green has added the GM title to his name.

I don't see Bidwill surrendering all power to Green.

 

[D-Dogg]

Actually, there is now another image under it, a Cardinal with its mouth open.

It looks like a second animated message coming, but it isn't linked yet.

It also says under it "Please enjoy our Cardinals animated messages....more to follow!"


I'm thinking there is going to be some sort of change coming to the logo...

It wouldn't be anything more than title shuffling. Mike Bidwill is the real power in the franchise now. There will never be a repeat of the Ryan fiasco.

Dagnambit. See, you got me in trouble now. The reason I didn't post the e-mail sooner, was because it said it was only intended for me, and dissemination or rebroacast without the written permission of the Arizona Cardinals is strickly prohibited, and if I DID rebroacast, I would be subject to persecution like not seen since the crusades...

Maybe it's just to see how many posts will be writtin on a forum to see what the actual announcement is!

Ok so why give Green the title GM and don't expect a Ryan fiasco??? Coaches who are also GM are becoming extinct all of a sudden in the NFL. Green should just stick to coaching and not do a dual mode.

I think they are going to announce that Jerry
Colangelo is buying the team and will be renaming it to...........

Tango-

The reason we think the uniform tweak is the "news," is because after Jurecki announced the presser for Thursday, he went on to list all the things that COULDN'T be announced this week. Basically figured out the only thing it could be was uniform/stadium news.

I also find it interesting that the web site changed this morning to two birds. The original bird from last week, and a new one this morning that's not hooked up to sound ...yet.

Marketing.

A. It's not going to happen.

B. Ryan had full control over CONTRACTS as well. That's why it will never happen here again. Whatever control Green gets, and he already has a lot, he won't be pulling the purse strings.

It's a new breed of link. A fierce link that only works when it wants to.

Personally, I think the announcement has something to do with their new marketing campaign. I don't think I would read any further into it.

It certainly won't be players because that really can't happend until the Super Bowl finishes.

Maybe Bill is officially giving 100% ownership to Michael?

hmmm new user with wisdom?

 

[azdad1978]

I don't see it happening.

 

[DieHardCardFan]

My bet it is one of 3 things: Emmitt Retires or Stays, Preseason game in El Paso or Dennis Greens son is coming aboard!

Thats my story and I am sticking to it!

Here's my guess:

I think it's something to do with the new marketing campaign. At this time of year, Cards usually announce season ticket prices for the next season and start the campaign to get more season ticket holders. I am guessing they might announce some kind of new package -- maybe with incentives related to seating in the new stadium.

Don't forget, about 6 months ago Cards did several surveys about ticket pricing in the new stadium. I still remember the day when I fell out of my chair when the guy asked me if I would pay $3,000 per seat to sit in the middle section with increased amenities, etc.

Don't forget that the 20% deposit is usually due around March 8, so we're only talking 6 weeks. I usually receiving the invoice, with the new ticket pricing, by the Super Bowl. Just seems to me the time of the year to announce something about tickets -- not new players, coaches, etc.

again though 3 day notice to discuss new ticket prices? Maybe a new campaign, but does that really require a press conference?

Now the cardinal is eating worms, bolts, razors, metal, 49ers and Rams helmets...

Then it burps and smiles.


WTF???


This is odd, yet entertaining.

Well, my other guess is that they just signed Shaun Alexander for the league minimum.
