1. Wide receiver first name toss-up: Hines, Santonio or Anquan?
Tom Cleary: Hines Ward. Great football name. He’s a tough guy and has a tough name.
Keith Connors: Hines plays in Heinz field. If only we could get something named after Chien-Ming Wang.
Chris Simmons: Anquan. He sounds like he’d hang out with little De’Chris, who would definitely be a wideout.
2. How will the Cardinals handle the Anquan Boldin blowup?
Tom Cleary: By continuing to throw the ball to Larry Fitzgerald. Nothing wrong with that.
Keith Connors: These sort of things happen all the time in sports, right Fairfield?
Chris Simmons: They’ll have Kurt Warner’s wife give him a talking to.
3. Better weekend destination: Arizona or Pittsburgh?
Tom Cleary: Pittsburgh. Who doesn’t love the smell of factories?
Keith Connors: Arizona? The real Cardinals play in St. Louis, and they play baseball.
Chris Simmons: Even people from Pittsburgh know there is nothing going on there.
4. Best Super Bowl commercial of all-time?’ ‘ ‘
Tom Cleary: I agree with Simmons. Keith is going to get duffed by Tate when he isn’t paying attention.
Keith Connors: Simmons will say Terry Tate, but they’ll never be able to top Mean Joe.
Chris Simmons: Keith doesn’t know any better. He’d better watch his back now.
5. What are your Super Bowl plans?
Tom Cleary: Enjoying cold beverages and hoping the Steelers at least don’t cover the spread.
Keith Connors: Counting the minutes until the first Manning-to-Tyree replay.
Chris Simmons: Trying to forget the Ravens-Steelers game.
