Larry Fitzgerald’s father blasts the Cardinals for quitting
Like many other fans, players and people associated with the Arizona Cardinals organization, Larry Fitzgerald Sr. has seen enough. Arizona’s 58-0 loss at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday was one of the most embarrassing in team history. I’m not sure anything would have helped the Cardinals with the way their defense played, but their offense was unable to put a point on the board en route to a ninth-straight loss.
As we mentioned before, Larry Fitzgerald is an amazing talent lost in a sea of incompetency. The star wideout has six catches for 67 yards and no scores in his last four games — that’s right, four games. The team’s most recent struggles inspired Fitzy’s old man to take them to task.
Pathetic performance by Arizona Cardinals.38-0 Seahawks!8-5 Cardinals loss 9 straight can’t do anything right.They beat this team week 1!

Fitzgerald Sr. is a sports writer, and Early Doucet would tell you that he has never been shy about speaking his mind if he feels the need to call someone out. While his Twitter thoughts on Sunday may lead to some awkward moments for his son, Larry Sr. was simply saying what is on the minds of a lot of fans, players and coaches. The Cardinals are an absolute mess. It’s a shame one of the best receivers in the game is going to waste because of it.
Perhaps Vince Young could help? He certainly seems to think so.
