National Spotlight: Cardinals Will Open on Monday Night

Are you ready for some football? Let's hope the Cardinals are because the last thing they need is a repeat of their previous appearance on Monday Night Football. I really don't think I have to remind any of you what happened, but just in case here is a quick run down:

- Arizona dominates Rex Grossman and the Bears for two quarters.
- The Cardinals begin to struggle in the third but still lead in the fourth.
- In the fourth they meltdown leading to a 24-23 loss.
- After the game Dennis Green totally loses his mind.

With that out of the way, it's time to move on. The Cardinals will begin their 2007-2008 campaign on the road against San Francisco in the second game of a Monday Night doubleheader.

"It is awesome," Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart said. "It's fun they are showing the NFC West some love and showing the Cardinals some love."

This past season they also opened against the 49ers in 34-27 win at the brand new University of Phoenix Stadium. A similar result would be a great start to what I think is going to be an exciting season.
