Does the Card Organization give a damn about the Fans?

[Duckjake]

I have..I used to sit down with Ron Minager and have drinks and talk. I've sat down with Michael Bidwill and had a few w him as well more then once Michael wants to win...he does. But you can check my credentials, hell I wear Clancy Pendergrast old polos he gave me a box of he didn't wear anymore. You know all those "get your mind right" Lott tshirts for only players and coaches, I wear mine all the time, I was on the field when we won the NFC.... But I've also seen the other side. Nate Poole and Nate Hodel were both friends of the family as well as Dexter Jackson. And they wouldn't bite their tounge. I promised someone I wouldn't say anything so I won't specific but Whiz drug Nate Hodel thru the mud saying he couldn't pass a physical and that's why he was cut when a month before signed a 4year deal. Then when that was proven untrue he said he wasn't a good special teams player. At the time it was him and Adubb who were here the longest.....the FO and whiz threw Hodel under the bus and it had nothing to do with pay or play......

Nate Poole? Surely the statute of limitations has run out on that promise.

Yea I'm sure Nate's OK with you giving us the dirt ...

It was the other Nate

That's ok they're the same age. Only Hodel doesn't have a key to Green Bay.

Thanks, I found the story interesting. Would like to hear more .

And you would know this how ?
Have you ever delt with the organization or talked to Michael Bidwill ?

How about being a fan since 1975 and watching this team implode every time it got close to being successful. How about not ever wanting to put a championship team on the field. How about Bill Bidwill himself saying that he never wants his team to win the Super Bowl because the players would want too much money. How about being the laughing stock of professional sports since 1978. I don't have to have direct dealings with the team or talk to anyone. I have 2 eyes and even though I wear glasses I can see just fine. So you keep buying into the crap and drinking the koolaid and being a fanboi because when you don't expect the best from your team, you'll never get it.

 

[ANDY440]

Lot of assumptions there just because I'm not as bitter as you

Lions and Bears games will be sellouts. Unfortunately the will be filled with opposing fans. Why not sell if you can't even see a competitive product? We have always been competitive in the new stadium until this season. 49ers and Rams games were embarrassments.

The Bidwills definitely care about their fans. You can see it in the way the new stadium was constructed and in the terrific customer service you get from all areas of the Cardinals organization.

For some reason they just cannot get football. Is it the coaches, players or, scouts they hire? I really can't say because it just seems like no matter what they do it doesn't work.

Agreed.

This team's problems no longer stem from an owner who won't do what it takes to be competitive. Our coaches are some of the highest paid in the league, and there are plenty of highly paid players on the roster. The lack of production from those investments has just been devastating. Not to mention the constant whiffing on free agents and wasted first round picks.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Just there money.

Can't wait to hear the excuse this season.

"We are still recovering from the lockout, and can't spend the way we want."

or they will use the ultimate cop-out, and say injuries are part of the problem.

What is worse, they will use injuries for an excuse to not only try to explain this season, but why they will shovel the same crap onto the field next season.

Agreed! For years the franchise has blown high draft picks. The tide seems to have turned in that area, but there are still plenty of questionable free agent acquistions and the Kevin Kolb trade hasn't helped.

The Cardinals may finally have some competent people in the front office, so hopefully the FA mistakes and blown draft choices are history. Right now the seat under the Cardinals offensive coaches should be very, very hot.

I think its pretty clear that they dont. We need to quit going to games.

 

[TruCard]

No, they don't. Why do you think the stadium has more opposing fans than any other stadium? Because the Bidwills suck, that's why. It's not the fans fault. You put a consistent winner on the field, you have a stadium full of Cardinals fans. You continue the mediocrity and you sell your tickets to opposing fans.
