I was at the Rainbow people festival near Canero Lake in the White Mountains, I think it was 1998, I was a reporter for the local newspaper. I interviewed a local WM Apache Elder with some native medicinal teachings. Some Vegans told him how eating meat was murder.
He said that He believed we are what we eat, and that whatever we eat shares it's attributes and powers with a man after digestion and before defication. He said he did not want to fight a bear with only a rutabaga coursing through his veins!
I tend to agree, Now one of my favorite moments from the Cardinal championship team was when Deuce pissed off that Bear defensive lineman, He held Deuce down and punched Deuce in the helmut! Deuce just laughed and laughed at that angy ole Bear got tossed from the game.
I like me some Deuce Lutui ( but not against the CARDS) Now I don't think Graves, Whiz or this staff get the most from their players. They play cut throat on contracts unless Our Cardinals are probowl, They never let off the gas, destroy players reputation and marketability in the press, and then step on their throat and cut them if players do the same in the press.
We never had a drafted Cardinal resigned long term in Whiz's first 5 years, We went to our first SB and another playoff, and no 2nd tier player was worth signing! When we did finally sign a drafted Cardinal Player - it was Fitz- DD early and AW!
Patrick Deuce and Lyle were offered minimal tenders, R Wells was cut, Antonio Smith leftand we NEEDED Mcfadden, Porter and Faneca? I suggested a contract with work out and weight incentives at the time- MANY BLASTED ME!
Well watch how this works out for our division rivals with Branch and the Deucemeister. That quote from Deuce shows it front and center! Mind you Deuce was quiet and had no contract when Whiz blistered him in the press.
