Michael Adams News

If the Arizona Cardinals have any sense of decency, they'll refund the air fare of every fan that traveled to San Francisco Monday.

Vikings' defense has reduced his number of chances on kickoff returns. Since returning kickoffs for touchdowns twice in the first half of the season, plus runbacks of 77 and 48 yards in a game against the Packers, Vikings rookie Percy Harvin has found his opportunities limited.

Asked about the contributions LaRod Stephens-Howling and Michael Adams made in the past two games, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt could have fallen back on a cliche and said he would like to have 51 other players just like them.

Kurt Warner's head is just fine. It's his hip that isn't feeling so hot. The Cardinals quarterback, who missed last week's game in Tennessee because of a concussion, suffered a hip pointer in Sunday night's win over the Vikings that left him grimacing after the game.

Two Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks were responsible for Arizona's 30-17 Sunday night pummeling of Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings .

For a week, the Cardinals defense heard about it from every corner and from every coach.

Last season's NFC Super Bowl representatives are still here, still hungry to finish what they failed to last February.

Though Ken Whisenhunt is hopeful Kurt Warner will be able to start Sunday's game at Tennessee, the Cardinals head coach won't be reluctant to call upon Matt Leinart if Warner can't play because of a head injury.

Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner was hit in the head during the second quarter against the Rams on Sunday and was questionable to return.

If the Cardinals were truly going to rid themselves of any real - or perceived - hangover from getting to the Super Bowl and then losing in the waning moments to the Pittsburgh Steelers, they had to let something go.

OCTOBER 25, 2009 Needless to say, that was a very big win for us. There were a lot of things that went wrong in the first half, with us hitting balls on the ground and obviously the tipped ball that went for a touchdown, but this is a very good Giants football team.

Kurt Warner and the Cardinals earned a rare victory at the Meadowlands. If you want to count how many times the Arizona Cardinals have missed opportunities to capture the national spotlight since they've been in Arizona, you and a friend will both have to use up all your fingers and take off your shoes and socks.

Cardinals starting CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has left Sunday night's game against the Giants with what appears to be a left ankle injury.

For a team that preached finishing this week, the Arizona Cardinals certainly had the starting part down.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt was a walk-on in college and a 12th-round draft pick in the NFL.

Day and night: As well as the Arizona Cardinals played for the first 30 minutes Sunday, the Texans matched it over the course of the final half of football, but ultimately couldn't pull out a victory.

Offense: The Colts don't have a lot of famous names on defense, but one of the few they do - end Dwight Freeney - dominated his matchup against left tackle Mike Gandy .

Despite their small size, both LaRod Stephens-Howling and Michael Adams made the Cards' roster.

It was fitting that on Labor Day afternoon, sweat poured off Cardinals center Ben Claxton's forehead after the completion of a day's work.

No one should expect much from NFL preseason games, but at the very least they should answer existing questions, not elicit new ones.
