Bruce Arians Absolutely Asinine To Suggest Team Would Lose To Improve Draft Position

“To think that we would lose games to get a better draft pick is absolutely asinine,” he said, via KPHO CBS 5 in Phoenix.

Of course, if the Cardinals win their remaining games, anything is still possible. But that’s a tall order to ask of a team that has dropped three of its past four. Note to reporters: Just don’t ask Arians that tanking question again.
