Safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson had this to say about the Cardinals’ new look defensive line

Arizona Cardinals’ second year safety Dadrion Taylor-Emerson, aka “Rabbit,” recently had a tremendously informative and entertaining interview with Dan Bickley and Vince Marotta of Arizona Sports Radio. This is so good, you really ought to hear it:

Cardinals safety Dadrion "Rabbit" Taylor-Demerson told @Bickley_Marotta that the revamped DL looks "like big ole woolly mammoths out there."

Honestly, he's not wrong.

Perhaps the highlights of the show occurred when Rabbit was asked to offer his thoughts about the Cardinals new look defensive line and without blinking Rabbit exclaimed:

“They look like big ole woolly mammoths out there!”

"He's getting a lot of reps...a lot of reps with the 1s...take advantage of it...he's a BIG BOY."

That’s right, woolly mammoths are roaming the turf in Arizona, as we speak!

So that this guy and his teammates can play “wild and woolly” football in 2025!

Did you see how he outfoxed Yosemite Sam?

Happy Father’s Day from Revenge of the Birds

Hope all of you dads out there have a great day.

Happy Father’s Day one and all from Revenge of the Birds.

I was fortunate enough, maybe unfortunate, to have season tickets as a kid with my dad from 1995 to 1998 for the Arizona Cardinals.

Every Sunday dad and I would head down to Sun Devil Stadium for a game, we’d grab a quick bite to eat on our way in and then battle the heat in the south end zone.

It was crazy every week. Despite the terrible product on the field, the south end zone was like a family.

I remember vividly a game against the Washington in December of 1997 where dad and the fans around me protected me, then an 11 year old, from a fight that broke out between Skins fans and Cards fans.

They moved my dad and I down to the aisle, almost shielding us from the drunken melee, to make sure I was safe, while at the same time rocking that poor Washington fan.

The shielding was the same a year later, as a 12 year old watching Chris Jacke’s field goal sail through the uprights sending the Arizona Cardinals to the playoffs for the first time in the valley.

The fans understandably rushed the field, but our section made sure before the euphoria, dad got me out of there safely.

That’s why the Cardinals mean so much to me.

My dad started me on the sickness, now, 30 years later, I have five kids, four of them boys, who followed me down the rabbit hole.

I’ll have three in tackle football this year, one who finished his football career and is now pursuing playing baseball and all of them sporting Cardinals jerseys for Sunday’s, along with my wife and daughter.

It’s an unfortunate disease that gets passed along. Some enjoy it more than others, but they all love Sundays.

It’s about football, it’s about family and it’s about creating a lasting bond.

That’s what the Arizona Cardinals means for me, what about you?
