Great read:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...hins-out-arizona-cardinals-still-alve-reports


Plus with all the media bias, and no comments from the Manning camp eliminating the Cardinals, and no comments from the Cardinals camp moving pass Peyton, and the tweets of Larry Fitzgerald's brother Marcus over the past week (who honestly always tweets his mind, and is usually close to being dead on), I think something special is in the works my friends!

Go Cardinals!

On Manning - no, I don't believe has made decision or it is imminent. Negotiations with all teams alive part of process, like medicals.

At this point, if it happened I'd be ecstatic but I'm tired of all the speculation. S**t or get off the pot Peyton...we got moves (albeit small ones) to make and this seems to be a thorn in the side until a decision is made.

I'd love to have you, but we're going to compete for the NFCW with or without you...It'd just be a tad easier with you.

RT @sportsfandj18: do you feel miami is out of it? >> Fact that activity with Matt Flynn seems to have picked up suggests Fins know status

Timmy - We're still operating in the realm of opinion and sentiment...& not fact.

Still, it's nice to hear something positive for a change - even though it might not mean much.

If Miami is out, and it looks like they are, they were probably given the heads up by #18. Only one team here has a deadline. If it really was between Tenn and Denver, why not just tell AZ and then negotiate through the weekend? If he signs tomorrow, I think it is in AZ and I am still trying to wrap my head around that.

Or Miami sees the writing on the wall and doesn't want to lose time with the mirage that is Flynn.

Let's all just find something else to do tonight, sleep, wake up, and after the morning, we can all move on! Clearly, no one will do that, me included, but it would be the smart thing to do.

We're still in the running and in my opinion are the favorite, don't care what anyone says. If the fish are moving on Flynn it can only mean he let them know he wasn't interested, and he hasn't done that with us. We'll know tomorrow for sure if we're out of it.

Here's what happens tomorrow: Kolb gets cut. Someone reports Manning is heading to AZ. Followed by a press conference with Bidwill, Graves, Whisenhunt and Manning. Sporting a shiny new # 18 Cardinals uniform while the cameras click.

:)

Well yes, psychologically and for our own sanity it's the right thing to do. But we're the Cardinals and that won't happen.

Hope its one of those new Nike Uniforms that are supposed out soon.

I am more confident because all the press is saying "It's Denver." or "It's Tennessee." If they were saying "It's Arizona." I'd feel like it was going to blow up in our face.

Word is Manning is scheduling a press conference at his elementary school to announce his choice.


Oh wait, only selfish HS pricks pull that sort of garbage.

On a related note, I am not even looking at that article, Bleacher Report is not a sourtce.

Bleacher report became a source for me when they started including them on AZ Central and started interviewing their dudes on Sirius NFL. I used to write for them couple years ago, wish I had stayed on actually.

From Mort:

RT @Bronco_LG: AZ's deadline to cut Kolb have any bearing on timing of Manning's decision? >> He'll be courteous in communication but no
