Cardinals re-sign LB Beisel
eteran linebacker Monty Beisel will be continue to wear the ardinals jersey. The team re-signed him today among a host of moves made by the club.
Having lost linebackers Karlos Dansby and Chike Okeafor already in free agency, the team needed to bring Beisel, an 11-year veteran, back in order to not have a completely bare cupboard. It’s expected that the Cardinals will place a high priority on linebacker in the draft, maybe even more so now that Joey Porterhas been pinched for DUI in Bakersfield, Calif.
Beisel started last season with the Kansas City Chiefs but rejoined Arizona midway through the season. He’s a key contributor on special teams and that is a need area for the team too after Sean Morey departed in free agency for the Seattle Seahawks.

Nets need two wins
Players with nets jersey are looking forward to two wins in their final 12 games.
While it may sound like one of those no-brainer tasks for most teams, the Nets are not your ordinary team. This is one looking to avoid the stigma of being the worst in NBA history. New Jersey has won SEVEN times in 70 games. That’s a 7-63 record, or one victory in every 10 games. Now the Nets have to win twice in the final 12 to avoid ending the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers’ 37-year stranglehold on the league’s worst mark at 9-73. During the exchange, Brett Yormark pointed a finger at the fan before eventually walking away.
Nets' fans have been great and they are stuck with the team through a tough season.
