Ep. 746 - In the 2025 offseason, the Cardinals replaced longtime color analyst Ron Wolfley with former center A.Q. Shipley. On Thursday's Big Red Rage, the two appeared together on stage at Flanker Kitchen and Sports Bar on the Great Lawn at State Farm Stadium. Wolfley, Shipley, and sideline reporter Paul Calvisi discussed the Cardinals' tough loss to the Rams and their upcoming road game against the Houston Texans. They also covered A.Q.'s transition into broadcasting, memorable moments from his playing career, Michael Wilson's growing role in the offense, and Trey McBride's emergence as one of the NFL's top tight ends.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, Paul Calvisi is talking about the Purge movies again, but there is a reason - could this be the year where the NFL postseason purges all the annual favorites? Mayhaps. In any case, he joins Darren Urban and Dani Sureck to discuss that first drive against the Rams (and what came next), Michael Wilson's epic games continue, dealing with Puka, facing the talented Texans defense, the current Cardinals offensive identity, Paul's new favorite ep of Getting Cultured, Kyler gets shut down, an amazing Wise Guy, Houston as a road venue, some college football (non-)Winning Behavior, Cardinals on the Pro Bowl list, and a deserving Walter Payton MOY pick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and former NFL linebacker Lorenzo Alexander try to make sense of the Cardinals’ 45–17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. The Rams rolled up 530 yards of total offense, including 249 on the ground, while the Cardinals stalled after a promising start. The injury issues also keep piling up, as left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. reportedly may miss time with a knee injury. There were a few bright spots. Wide receiver Michael Wilson continues to emerge with Marvin Harrison Jr. sidelined, recording his third 100-yard performance in four games. Tight end Trey McBride also tied the NFL record for most consecutive games by a tight end with five or more catches. Next up is the Houston Texans. How can the Cardinals match up against their elite defense?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 956 - There's losing a game and then there's getting beat. And on Sunday, the Cardinals were beaten “in every facet,” according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, who added the 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams was “very humbling.” Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at what went wrong; why the offense couldn't stay on the field, why the defense couldn't get off the field. The Cardinals saw firsthand just how good the Rams are here in 2025. Also, the Cardinals can't escape the injury bug (three more players got hurt) and Paul hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award. It goes to Michael Wilson, a brand new father who has elevated his game when WR1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 947 - On the 17th day of November, Paul Calvisi does a deep dive on the No. 17. That led to a discussion between him and Craig Grialou about Sunday's 41-22 loss in which the Cardinals committed a franchise-record 17 penalties. Whether it was the penalties or the turnovers - there were three of them - the Cardinals did themselves no favors in losing to the San Francisco 49ers at State Farm Stadium. For the second straight week, the Cardinals fell behind early, and they did their best to play catch up the rest of the game. Jacoby Brissett, Michael Wilson, who earned Paul's weekly Angry Bird Award, and Trey McBride each had great individual numbers, but the only numbers that mattered were on the scoreboard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 944 - After the loss on Sunday, head coach Jonathan Gannon made it clear. “At the end of the day, nothing good from that game, and it falls on me,” he told reporters. Very little went right for the Cardinals. They fell behind early - 35-0 just six minutes into the second quarter - and just could not dig themselves out of the hole. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the 44-22 loss, focusing a lot on the line of scrimmage; the offensive line struggled to protect Jacoby Brisssett and the defensive line found it difficult to slow down Sam Darnold and company. The guys do find a couple of positives: 1) the play of Trey McBride and 2) the bounce back of Emari Demercado, who earned this week's Angry Bird Award.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
