Wall Street Journal article on Kurt Warner

[Totally_Red]

Interesting excerpt:

As if to prove his ego is in check, Mr. Warner quickly adds, "You can write off most of my success this year to the improvement of our offensive line and to the greatest trio of wide receivers in football" -- Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston and Anquan Boldin, who have caught 177 passes so far this year for 17 touchdowns. "I honestly feel I can throw to any of them at any spot on the field in any situation." He'll need all three at peak form this Sunday, when the Cardinals play the favored New York Giants, the NFL's defending champions, in Phoenix.

================
Please forgive the factual errors, including "in Phoenix",

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting the link.

Kurt is something special both on the field and off. When I saw him and a lot of the other players kneeling in prayer when Anquan was out cold on the field, I wept. I think God put Warner on this team for a reason. Praying for Anquan was one of them. Winning with this team is another.

"He who honors Me, I will honor."

Y'know, it's actually jarring to read the WSJ's referring to everyone as "Mr. So-and-so" in an article about sports. When it's politics or some form of hard news it isn't that striking to me, but seeing "Mr. Warner" repeated every two lines, along with "Mr. Whisenhunt" and "Mr. Leinart" is almost surreal.

Yep, it seems very formal but the WSJ and NYTimes have always done that. Even in their movie reviews.

The Times doesn't do that now, and I don't think they've done it for a very long time. The Journal's just about unique in taking this approach, I think.
