With the Super Bowl in the rear view, there is change coming right now, even beyond the NFL. But there won’t be any penny-pinching from Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck as they read and react about the Super Bowl and some of the Cardinals’ connections. The trio chat about all the wagering on the game, the burgeoning TV ratings, Cardinals cornerback Max Melton and his Gucci belts, the price tag for running backs after a crazy good RB year, what the Cardinals can learn from the Super Bowl, that new Fox scorebug, your weekly Winning Behavior, more Getting Cultured with Dani, a peek at what’s going on around the NFC West, and salad complaints.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2024 NFL season is officially in the books after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch review the game and consider what lessons the Cardinals can learn from the participants and outcome. Plus, discussions about the impact made by offensive stars Trey McBride and James Conner and a look at the Cardinals defensive line room including what’s ahead for Darius Robinson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 849 - It’s the one big takeaway from Super Bowl 59: games are won or lost at the line of scrimmage. And, really, that’s nothing new. All 32 teams - not just the Philadelphia Eagles - try to win the line of scrimmage. No, what the Eagles showed is why teams prioritize (or should) the offensive and defensive lines whether that’s in free agency or the draft. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look at what the Cardinals have at both spots and then discuss the decisions needed to be made by the front office this offseason. Also, they give their thoughts on the game, focusing on just how dominate the Eagles were against the Kansas City Chiefs, and might international travel be in the Cardinals’ future?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 702 - Former Cardinals great Larry Centers joins Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to discuss the Arizona offense, what makes James Conner great and the one part of Trey McBride's game that reminds Centers of himself.

Plus, Calvisi and Wolf discuss the future of the Cardinals running back room and make their predictions for Super Bowl LIX.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Además Rolando nos presenta su receta perfecta para el gran partido de este domingo. Se les va a antojar!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 848 - What can the Cardinals learn when looking at the two Super Bowl participants? Specifically, in terms of the rosters of both the Chiefs and Eagles? Maybe the biggest lesson is this: The best path to success, and really sustained success, is through the draft. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi share the numbers to back up what fans have repeatedly heard from NFL GMs, including Monti Ossenfort, on just how important the NFL Draft is to building a team. Also, the guys discuss what they think will happen in Super Bowl 59, and they predict who will walk away winners during NFL Honors. FYI, Budda Baker and Trey McBride are finalists for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, respectively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Super Bowl is coming, it’s Waste Management Open week in Phoenix, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are in the studio trying to figure out - for discussion purposes only - how some of these prop bets might turn out. The Cardinals have coaching moves reportedly happening (and incoming help have ties to certain players and fellow coaches), while the in-your-face statements of certain high-profile stars makes you wonder what the Cardinals would look like if they find a way to star up the pass rush. The offensive line seems as possible with that first-round pick as the defensive line, there is much to chat about what might be Winning Behavior this week, Luka trade NFL equivalents, and the guys absorb the first day of Getting Cultured with Dani.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The conclusion of the 2024 season draws near with the Super Bowl in New Orleans just days away. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss the standout Pro Bowl performances by Trey McBride and Budda Baker, reported changes to the Cardinals coaching staff, how Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. can improve in 2025, the promising future of Garrett Williams and the young cornerback room and a preview of Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 847 - Without Budda and Trey who knows if the NFC would’ve been able to beat the AFC. Okay, maybe that’s overstating things a bit. Still, Budda and Trey each had a hand in not only Sunday’s game but also Thursday’s competitions. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look back at what was a successful week in Orlando for the two Cardinals teammates. Also, the guys discuss the loss of offensive line coach Klayton Adams to the Dallas Cowboys; that is now official. What is not yet official - and right now only mentioned - is Adams’ replacement and a reported new defensive line coach. Plus, it is Super Bowl week, and the week began with some major news out of Cleveland, which potentially could affect the Cardinals. Hmm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 701 - Cardinals legend and Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner joins Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban to talk about Marvin Harrison Jr.'s rookie season, where the wide receiver can grow in his second year and what he saw from Kyler Murray and the rest of the offense. Warner also shared his thoughts on the Chiefs vs. Eagles matchup in Super Bowl LIX. Plus, Calvisi and Urban discuss how Budda Baker and Trey McBride made it to this week's Pro Bowl and the impact both players make on their Cardinals teammates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 846 - Everyone knows the big names. The stars. They are the ones who get all the attention. But to be a successful team, it takes more than a couple of all-pros or pro bowlers. So, with that in mind, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss those Cardinals players, whether on offense or defense, who might’ve flown under the radar, but who certainly deserve to be praised based on their performance this season. Also, what’s the latest on perhaps another change to the coaching staff; why fans should pay attention to the two college all-star games this week; and, oh yeah, don’t forget about the Pro Bowl - it’s another chance to see both Budda Baker and Trey McBride in action.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our fearless trio debut a new segment this week with “The Wise Guy” on hiatus, but that’s only part of the discussion for Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck. How much hate watching has been going on – or will be going on – with the Chiefs and/or Eagles? Will the #CramItVertical work of the Cardinals eventually create the same success as Philly? How do our hosts feel about the Brotherly Shove? There is also acceptance of the value of the ball, BJ Ojulari’s recovery, what helping the edge might look like, Pro Bowl fun with Trey and Budda, MHJ’s lessons from Dad, and feeling some kind of way about Dry January – including how it can be used for good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Evaluation of college football players is a year-round process, but the NFL Draft season ramps up significantly this week with the East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl taking place. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and 2001 Senior Bowl alum Kyle Vanden Bosch talk about the benefits of these events from both the player and team perspective. Plus, we discuss this weekend’s Pro Bowl events, how Budda Baker and Trey McBride earned their trips to Orlando and what to expect from the Chiefs and Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 845 - And with the 16th overall pick, the Arizona Cardinals select (fill in the blank). Well, we’ll know soon enough. Officially, in three months. Unofficially, let the speculation begin. In other words, time to mock draft. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, two of the prominent voices this time of year, released their first mock drafts. Craig Grialou and Darren Urban, who loves his mock drafts, breakdown who was mocked to the Cardinals. Also, the guys discuss the Dallas Cowboys’ reported interest in offensive line coach Klayton Adams, the rise within the front office ranks of former Cardinals wide receiver (and Scottsdale Chaparral high alum) Darren Mougey, as well as their takeaways from Championship Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
