BRV did some diggin on the site and came up with this gem of an article on the Cardinals....
10/26/04) The Cardinals under new head coach Dennis Green are reminiscient of the Cardinals a decade ago under Buddy Ryan. Ryan had no use for white players and furiously cobbled together a virtually all-black team on which aged quarterback Dave Krieg was the only white starter. The 2004 Cards similarly have a white starting at quarterback, and have bettered Ryan's monument to the caste system only by starting rookie Alex Stepanovich at center.
Arizona has no white fullbacks or receivers. Eric Edwards is the third string tight end. Josh McCown, one of the few blond-haired NFL players, is the starting quarterback, backed up by the generally awful Shaun King (but oh what "natural leadership qualities" the media proclaim King possesses), and rookie John Navarre from Michigan.
On defense, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Ross Kolodziej are backup linemen. The punter and kicker are white, at least for now. Arizona, Baltimore and New Orleans finish in a three-way tie as the NFL teams most dedicated to trying to build an all-black roster.
NUMBER OF WHITE STARTERS: 2
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF WHITE PLAYERS ON 53-MAN ROSTER: 12

(9/5/03) Arizona looks on paper to be the worst team in the NFL this year, and they are also one of the blackest, having regressed quite a bit the past two years in this area.
The only white starters on offense are LG Cameron Spikes and C Pete Kendall. Steve Bush and Mike Banks are backup TEs. Josh McCown and Preston Parsons are backup QBs to arch-journeyman Jeff Blake, who for some reason was brought in to be the starter.
Kevin Kasper, who was the team's best receiver when allowed to see the field last year, after having been cut in mid-season by both the Broncos and Seahawks, is again buried on the depth chart at WR.
On defense Fred Wakefield is the starting LE. Kyle Vanden Bosch, the team's best defensive player, is out for the year with a knee injury. The rest of the defense is all black.
