Bird Watching

Cards fans fly north for the summer

By Clay McNear

Published on July 24, 2008

Hoops season was a bust. The Diamondbacks have been struggling mightily. The Coyotes . . . who the hell cares? Thank God it’s time for Arizona Cardinals Training Camp 2008. Our perennial laughingstocks – who’ve won a pitiful total of one playoff game in 61 years – have long been our most arresting pro franchise, ’cause win or choke, it’s impossible to tear your eyes away from the pigskin car wreck.

Will our next QB be the matinee idol with the naughty streak or the white knight with the butterfingers? Will the team turn that mythical corner in year two of the Whisenhunt era? In the end, do we really want to purge our exquisite pain?
