TEMPE, Ariz. It s not often that two penalties from a game are emblematic of an entire season, but that was the case when Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was flagged twice in a matter of minutes during the third quarter of the team s season finale.
The first flag thrown against him was for an offensive pass interference, a 10-yard penalty. Hopkins didn t like the call and started barking at the official, eventually giving him the middle finger in the process. That led to a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Arizona was down 15-7 at the time and the play that ignited Hopkins two penalties began at the 50. By time the infractions were settled, Arizona was backed up to its 25-yard-line and faced a first-and-35. The Cardinals punted four plays later.
Happy Wednesday one and all.
We are halfway through another week and heading into what will be our first baseball tournament of the season this weekend.
Meaning things are about to get busy.

Dave Gettleman has made at least one splashy free agent signing in each offseason since he became the Giants general manager in 2018, sometimes more than one.
In 2018, he signed left tackle Nate Solder to a four-year, $62 million deal which hasn’t exactly paid dividends.
In 2019, he signed wide receiver Golden Tate to a four-year, $37.5 million deal that most would consider a failure.
In 2020, he signed cornerback James Bradberry (three years, $43.5 million) and linebacker Blake Martinez (three years, $30 million) to big contracts, and both signings were absolute home runs.
