"Hear the one about Peyton Manning joining the Cardinals?

It's hard to picture, as much as we'd love to watch.

Assuming he becomes available, courting the future Hall of Fame quarterback will require breathtaking entrepreneurial spirit. Serious pursuit will be fraught with risk. It will require a ton of guaranteed money going out the door with no guarantees that Manning will last another season in the NFL.

Sorry, that just doesn't sound like the Cardinals. This franchise hasn't changed that much.

I welcome them to prove me wrong."
