Cardinals Underground - The Tide Is Turning

Oct 29 2024 58 mins

Back-to-back final field-goal wins is a heck of a drug, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are feeling the vibe of the Cardinals shifting their season. This week’s podcast has discussion about unlocking the passing game, Marvin Harrison Jr. taking his game to a new level (and knowing even Jerry Rice had a learning curve), Trey McBride’s excellence, Kyler looking lik

Cardinals Underground - Survivor Of The Fittest

Oct 22 2024 54 mins

You’ll never catch Paul Calvisi binging a reality show - it’s beneath him - but the Cardinals are about season survival this week after a dramatic win over the Chargers.

Cardinals Underground - Improper Conversations

Oct 15 2024 56 mins

In an episode where Paul Calvisi breaks out his oven mitt, he and Darren Urban and Dani Sureck try to reset where the Cardinals are heading into a “Monday Night Football” game against the Chargers. So the trio discuss and debate the IR taking more key players from the Cardinals (and the Chargers too, for that matter), the need for the passing game and wide receivers to pop, Mar

Cardinals Underground - Season Starts To Heat Up

Oct 08 2024 61 mins

Thank goodness Paul Calvisi and Dani Sureck have finally cooled down from the furnace that was Sunday’s game against the 49ers, so they can join Darren Urban to chat about the big win in San Francisco and how the Cardinals shifted their season. The trio discuss the team’s resilience, multiple players coming up big in big moments, the defense’s stonewall of a second half, Dari

Cardinals Underground - The Philosophy Of Sport

Oct 01 2024 53 mins

Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck get philosophical after the Cardinals’ loss to the Commanders, acknowledging early that Paul is no Erin Andrews, and that Tom Brady will be in the house for the 49ers game. This week’s discussion includes how the adaptations Jonathan Gannon promised might look like on the field, a run defense tested then and now, the potential of a Dar

Cardinals Underground - Operation Reality Check

Sep 24 2024 50 mins

The NFL is one big reality check, it seems (just look at the record of picks Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have posted through three weeks) and that includes the Cardinals after a physical loss to the Lions. It laid the groundwork for a podcast in which our trio discuss the missing run game (and Kyler running), how physical the game was and what was left in its wake, t

Cardinals Underground - The Measure Of Kyler Murray In Year 6

Sep 17 2024 52 mins

What in the name of Markus Golden was going on for the Cardinals against the Rams in the home opener? Everything clicked, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have to wonder if it was Kyler Murray’s best game in the NFL. (The Raiders win in 2022 has something to say.) So much good went on in the first win of the season, including Marvin Harrison Jr.’s breakout, the qu

Cardinals Underground - And A Wise Man Shall Lead Them

Sep 10 2024 54 mins

It was a rough Buffalo ending for the Cardinals, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck try and put it in perspective with the Rams up next and the home opener awaiting. The trio discuss Marvin Harrison Jr.’s debut (and how some questions sound a lot like some about Larry Fitzgerald in the past), Kyler’s first game and his legs on display, a good first game for Zaven Co

Cardinals Underground - Buffalo Nuggets Before Cards’ Opener

Sep 03 2024 49 mins

The Cardinals have reached the first week of the season, and a trip to Buffalo. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck want to know what the team is going to look like - especially against a new-look Bills team with old-look Josh Allen at QB - that highlights discussion/debate about the team captains, the ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley visit and MMA-worthy Cards, Paul’s lack of

Cardinals Underground - The Roster Is (Almost) Ready

Aug 27 2024 57 mins

Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck huddled up as soon as the Cardinals put out their first 53-man roster, although Dani did feel some kind of way when she saw Blue in Denver. The Cardinals made their moves and the trio discusses how the team named that Tune for QB2, Paul hitting on his X-squared picks to click, moving on from Michael Carter, seven total receivers including
