Well I am new here, but I'm shooting big and want to cover someone that I'm sure Cardinal's fans have heard plenty about, but you can't get sick of. Larry Fitzgerald, or as I call him, FItzy. Fitzy is the new Walter Payton, except better. Apart from being the number one receiver in the league, and somehow that is still underrating him, he is a real caring guy. Unlike some figures coming in, oh say liek Tim Tebow who seem a little fake in how much they "care," Fitzy actually renegotiated a forty million dollar salary to allow the Cardinals cap room. Amazing. When was the last time anything like this was heard of from a star player, let alone a star wide receiver, consistently known for being major showboating @$$holes.
Now as always people will criticize. There are claims made that Fitzgerald only changed his contract so that he could get a Super Bowl ring, he wanted the Cardinals to be able to pick up more key players and retain Boldin. What's selfish about that? That's like saying donating to the poor is bad because it makes you feel good. Fitzy probably won't really end up with less money in the long run, but he is allowing the organization to pay it off differently, and he is inspiring good faith and teamwork in the other players. Boldin showed up to camp on time, and kept quiet whilst firing his idiotic agent. All things that may not have happened if Fitzy hadn't come forward with his deal.
So when we think of wide receivers in the future, whereas it is fun to watch the Terrel Owens and Plaxic Burress'es crash and burn, I hope half of them are as stand up and team worthy as Larry Fitzgerald has shown us they can be.
