Apparently Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly brutalizes Michael Bidwill and the Cards in a long article. Somebody with SI Extra please paste it here.
Pariah said:Except for the mean remarks about Mike Bidwill, he's pretty spot on in his estimation of the team up until very recently. And, he's entitled to his opinion of the club's future (though I don't agree with it).
I'm okay with the article.
Mulli808 said:I agree that most if not all of what he wrote happened. But what is the point of the article? Why pile on? In my opinion, it was gratuitous.
I can't help but think that Riley is getting back at the Cardinals for not kissing up to him when he visited here.
And that's how the game is played. You want favorable media coverage, you need to make friends in the media. Denny seemed to go out of his way to NOT make friends. No big deal. This article won't hurt the team.Mulli808 said:I can't help but think that Riley is getting back at the Cardinals for not kissing up to him when he visited here.

Riley's a columnist--all of his articles are pointless.clif said:Exactly.. what is the point of stating the obvious?? If you don't like the team or the owners get the **** out!! Get your facts straight...the taxpayers are not footing 2/3rds of the bill. Pointless article
He's quoting Gedney. It's Gedney you should have a problem with, not the author of the article.clif said:Anybody else have a problem with the supposed Pat Tillman comment? I mean who is to say that he actually did say that... since he is not here to refute it. His piece would have been ok without it.

I don't think Gedney would put words in Tillman's mouth, though.
JPlay said:I think the Bush League comment is more in lines with the Stadium they played in and the technology. I'm sure the new stadium will play updated rock and hip hop.
clif said:I think so too, but it just seems a little unneccessary.
