D1B's favorite fellow alum remains in Phoenix
It took longer than expected and turned in to a bit of a soap opera, but Kurt Warner will officially be back with the Cardinals in 2009 after he agreed to a new two-year contract Wednesday.
The deal is worth $23 million, with a $15 million signing bonus and salaries of $4 million each year. Warner and coach Ken Whisenhunt are scheduled to meet the media at 2 p.m. Arizona time.
Warner became a free agent late last week, surprisingly hitting the market. He even took a visit to San Francisco and spoke with the Cards’ division rival 49ers about signing there. He did multiple national interviews pleading his case and the back-and-forth created chaotic reaction among the fan bases of both the Cardinals and 49ers.

Re: Kurt Warner re-signs with Arizona
The Cards would have been foolish to the core to allow Warner to leave within the division.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
