Pic Hits for the week

NFL 101: Arizona Cardinals and KEZ-FM 99.9 co-sponsor this pro-football class for women from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday in the gym at Brophy College Preparatory, 4701 North Central. Cardinals' middle linebacker Garth Jax and KEZ's Beth McDonald emcee. Offensive instruction will be handled by center Ed Cunningham and wide receiver Frank Sanders. Safety Terry Hoage and defensive lineman Michael Bankston teach the "D" (presumably including crib notes on the Fat Guy's not-so-vaunted "46"). Long snapper/linebacker Randy Kirk and assistant coach Al Roberts lecture on special teams. Safety Lorenzo Lynch models an official NFL uniform, and ref Ed Hochuli provides a rules overview. Registration is open to females age 12 and older; it costs $20, which includes a playbook, a pregame meal, a diploma, a tee shirt and other stuff. Preregistration is accepted through Friday. Call 379-0102.
