what a stupid comment, like the Cards are not throwing him the ball so they can justify asking him to take a salary cut? His salary is too high, everyone knows it including him, he'll either rework it or he'll have to leave, everyone knows it, they knew it when they gave him the contract.
As much as I love Larry(he's definitely one of my top 3 favorite Cardinals), with the emergence of Floyd, losing him won't hurt that much. Mind you I don't want to see him go but I don't want his dad turning this into another Eric Lindros/his parents/Bobby Clarke situation which was nothing but a big distraction. Larry Sr. needs to get through his head that this is a team game and Larry is a part of that team. Like I said, I love Larry but not to the point that I'd want any drama to distract this team and it's ultimate goal.

My father's inflammatory comments don't reflect my feelings or mood. We are 1-0 and working tirelessly to get to 2-0 this coming weekend; thats my only concern. Go Cards!!!

Ooh boy. Ouch to his father.

I'll hate to see him leave if he goes next year. Favorite athlete of all time.

seriously, if you decode that tweet, it basically says: Hey Pops... ****!


This... I'm sad for Fitz that, in what may be his final year here, he has to deal with this crap from of all people , his father... Damn...

I don't know how to post the links... but...Marcus was on Twitter saying the same things.

Either Larry takes after his mother or they found him on their doorstep.

Or his brother Marcus was conceived while his father was having an affair with Michael Stone's sister.

There is no way Carson Palmer, in the few seconds he has to find a receiver or be crumpled by a pass rusher--and who has his own career to worry about--is deciding against an open Larry Fitzgerald because of a management conspiracy to keep Larry's numbers down.

Learned a lesson long ago. Assume that any email or tweets you send out will be in the morning newspaper. Bottom line is no matter how upset or frustrated you are on anything, keep it to yourself.

Palmer has options in fact I think he complete passes to 11 different targets, that keeps a D much more honest than forcing balls to fitz! Fitz will get his and get TDs just needs to be patient and get open when called upon.

In our division especially you gotta spread the ball around. Fitz isn't Megatron and they didn't even make the playoffs last year WITH him. To beat Seattle and SF we need to have multiple options on offense.
