Defensive end Antonio Smith shows off the "raise the roof" gesture.

Wanna high-five a few Arizona Cardinals players on their recent clinching of the NFC West crown? We've got info on where a few players will be kicking back tonight.

Head to Jilly's, 825 North 54th Street in Chandler, where most of the Redbirds' defensive line will be partying tonight. And they've got every right to celebrate, considering the fact the 2008 Cards squad is arguably the most successful in recent history.

I'm sure some fans might be hoping they'd be resting up for the upcoming playoffs, or maybe even trying to win their last three games on the season (including this Sunday's conest against the 8-6 Minnesota Vikings).

The cats over at Urban AZ are putting on the affair, and have promised that defensive end Antonio Smith, defensive tackle Darnell Dockett, and other players will be in the house. DJ Essence will be on the ones and twos spinning hip-hop and R&B.

It all starts at 9:30 p.m. and there's no cover before 11 p.m. if you get on Urban AZ's text message list. -- Benjamin Leatherman
