Golden Nuggets: Bring on the Cardinals!

I don't hate the Arizona Cardinals. For awhile, there was a tie between the Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks when it came to how "meh" I was when I considered that rivalry. But ever since Darnell Dockett left and Pete Carroll arrived in Seattle, the Cardinals have been that team that just doesn't move the needle for me.

Carson Palmer is a great story, Larry Fitzgerald is a class act, as was Anquan Boldin before him and the Cardinals haven't been good enough for me to dislike them in any real way. But the San Francisco 49ers are as bad as can be right now and really, I just want to see something good happen. I don't believe in tanking for draft picks, and if you do you're a bad person. A bad, awful person.

OK, maybe not awful. But screw all of that noise. Go out and beat the Cardinals, 49ers. Just do it, OK? Thanks. Onto your links for the day.
