Happy Wednesday one and all.
We are heading into a three day weekend that will be warm if you are in the valley, but also should be fun as school ends for the kids and we get into summer break.

J.J. Watt made it clear when he first arrived in Arizona he appreciated former Cardinal Pat Tillman.
He also gave out a hint at the time. We ve been working with Marie Tillman and the (Pat) Tillman Foundation on a very cool project that ll be coming in the next few months, Watt said on March 2.
The project is now official the latest in Watt s signature line of Reebok shoes are called the JJ IV Valor, red and gray kicks that were helped designed by Marie Tillman, Pat s widow. Reebok will also donate $10 for every pair sold through Aug. 31 to the Pat Tillman Foundation (up to a maximum of $10,000). The shoe will be available starting May 27.
The new signature shoe from Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt will honor the late Pat Tillman, with all of Watt s personal proceeds going to the Pat Tillman Foundation.
Football fans are petitioning the National Football League to retire the jersey of a former Arizona Cardinals player who gave his life in service to his nation.
Back in 2002, Cardinals safety Pat Tillman walked away from a successful pro-football career to enlist in the Army. Tillman chose to serve his country following the terrorist attacks in 2001. He served as an Army Ranger until he was killed in battle in Afghanistan in 2004 from friendly fire.
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, fans have started a Change.org petition urging the NFL to retire Tillman s No. 40 jersey in honor of his service and sacrifice.
