  • Cardinals Underground - Trash Talk, The D-Line, And More Motion

    Cardinals Underground - Trash Talk, The D-Line, And More Motion
    Jun 3 2025
    As the Cardinals go through their second week of OTAs, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck might have a couple of zingers for each other, but that’s to be expected in this highly competitive environment. It’s the launching point to discuss the meaning of attendance in voluntary work, a visit by Kenny Dillingham, the foolish idea that J.G. is under pressure, allowing defensive backs to challenge pass catchers in camp, the idea the offense will level up with more motion, a new Out Of Context, what Gannon seeks in guys being in shape; Walter Nolen III’s progress, Nick Rallis’ options with his new defensive line, how other teams are running Cardinals’ schemes, a new Winning Behavior and the “QB mentor,” and Saquon and the Madden Cur… er, cover.

    May 20 2025
    Darren Urban acerbic and caustic? Never. (Or maybe never a doubt.) But that’s what Paul Calvisi and Dani Sureck deal with as our trio discuss Marvin Harrison’s new physique and how that (and other things) can help him improve in his second NFL season, the consequences of a back-loaded schedule, a preseason practice in Denver, if Jonathan Gannon might adjust his preseason playtime philosophy, the Niners paying their guys and Brock Purdy in particular, the NFC West early handicapping, Getting Cultured about schedule release content, flag football in the Olympics, more Winning (and non-winning) behavior, Budda Baker and the Cardinals growing closer, and a touching story about Paul’s early days as a gym guy.

    Schedule release is upon us, and while there will be a 5 p.m. Wednesday surprise along with your dates and times, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are here to tackle the big picture topics – like how did the Vikings get two international games and another team (say, the Cardinals) didn’t get one? Also in the discussion: potential Thanksgiving games, the greeting card industry, the importance of when you play an opponent, Mack Wilson Sr.’s charity hoops game, a new Getting Cultured, the “perfection” of rookies this time of year, the best camp battles to come (hint, a lot on defense), this week’s Winning Behavior, and a highest speed limits around.

  • Cardinals Underground - Class Of The Draft

    Cardinals Underground - Class Of The Draft
    Apr 29 2025
    Yes, we are opening with a mention of Valentin Senn, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck quickly turn their attention to the Cardinals’ draft class and what it all entailed. The discussion included the thought process of the Cardinals during their trade in the fifth round, Denzel Burke and why they were OK with the opportunity cost; collecting all those cornerbacks and what the battle will be like in the secondary; the benefit of getting both Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson, two guys considered first-rounders pre-draft; what Johnson can be; a Belichickian episode of Getting Cultured; the Shedeur saga; Cody Simon’s chances to start; Jalen Milroe’s winning behavior; and Paul updates the power poll of incompetence.

    Cardinals Underground - Sweet 16, What’s The Pick?
    Apr 22 2025
    The draft is upon us, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are open for business. Are the Cardinals? We will see if GM Monti Ossenfort is dealing on draft weekend again, but first Paul checks to see if our crew lights the lamp with good points. The trio talk about the power poll of draft needs (and how it impacts the first round), whether a middle linebacker could get into the mix of consideration, the latest episode of Out of Context, potential trading down for the Browns at 2 or the Giants at 3, who would be the one at 16 for each of our hosts, Roy Green’s history as a Travis Hunter two-way player, Getting Cultured with Dani about the Boston Marathon, the draft party at State Farm Stadium, and NFL’s week in Green Bay.

  • Cardinals Underground - Patrick Peterson's Return and Balderdash

    Cardinals Underground - Patrick Peterson's Return and Balderdash
    Apr 15 2025
    The splash zone? No, probably just balderdash, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have much to discuss as the draft draws near. With Patrick Peterson in town, it gets one to thinking – is a cornerback the first-round choice? Another defensive lineman? A wrecker on the interior offensive line? All possible. Meanwhile, Peterson’s return to Arizona generates so many memories, brings in so many names to visit, and underscores the benefit of making up with family. There is a special edition of Wise Guy – including a buzzer-beater(?), as well as Cam Skattebo talk. Calais Campbell domination, the mixologists in front offices, going without a phone, Winning Behavior, and the mock tendencies of both Darren and K1.
