Oh Boy....Fitzgerald and Brother Complaning! (1 Viewer)

[jcaleo]

According to a tweet from Marcus Fitzgerald, his brother Larry is frustrated with Kurt Warner. "Just got off the phone with my brother. he's happy about the win. But PISSED he didn't get the ball thrown 2 him much!" read Marcus' tweet.

Larry was not happy that Warner was dinking and dunking underneath again. Marcus tweeted messages like this during the game: "Ok another drive & kurt doesnt throw 2 larry. YOU OLD ### MAN, THROW HIM THE DAMN BALL." Fitzgerald has 10 catches for 105 yards on the season so far and is yet to get loose for a deep ball.

Sounds like the brother was pissed about it, but who knows if Larry was pissed at all. This is all speculation based on a tweet from a player's brother. I say we not overreact to this and jump to conclusions until we actually hear someone from Larry Fitzgerald about it.

From the local AZ paper today:

Don't worry about Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald turning into Terrell Owens - at least when it comes to whining about not getting enough passes thrown his way.

Though Fitzgerald was tied for 44th in the NFL in receiving yards after Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars

, nobody on the Cardinals is concerned about Fitzgerald becoming the next diva receiver.

In fact, he's quite the opposite, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said.

"Yeah, I would say so," he said Monday.

Fitzgerald, who caught four passes for 34 yards and a touchdown, bringing his two-game season total to 10 for 105 yards and two scores, was not animated about not getting enough touches.

What he was excited about, Whisenhunt said, was the Cardinals getting back on track with a win. The three-time Pro Bowl player led the NFC in catches and receiving yards the past two seasons.

"I think the one thing I'm most impressed with Larry - we all know he's a great player and the strides he made last year - but the leadership strides he's made this year," Whisenhunt said, noting that Fitzgerald's teammates voted him a captain. "It's the way he handles himself on the field, so no, I'm not concerned about that."

Neither is quarterback Kurt Warner.

"He just doesn't talk to me," Warner said, laughing. "He doesn't give me a hard time. He just gets real quiet. We were calling some plays to try and get Larry the ball . . . but what I wanted to be conscious of in that game was to not force anything just to get him the ball.

" . . . It may not have been this game, but he'll have his 10 or 12 catches in another one."

Settle down Marcus.

Thanks for posting that, kutta. This is a total non-story.

Even if Larry Fitzgerald was quietly pissed about it, he didn't ##### to the team or to the media. And if he did ##### about it to his brother, his brother is a d-bag for making it public.

The information explosion is good and bad. The bad is that everybody and their brother (literally) spouts off and someone picks it up and runs with it. Tough on the player to explain and react to.

Cry all you want but save some tears for when Leinart is in there. He thinks it's bad now? He will dream about the good times once he gets a load of Leinart.

I love twitter and the chaos/destructiveness it brings! Another downfall to humanity imo.

"Ok another drive & kurt doesnt throw 2 larry. YOU OLD ### MAN, THROW HIM THE DAMN BALL."

Sounds like a typical Fitz drafter.

Kurt,

Larry just told me he hates you.

Love,

Well Fitz isn't half as pi$$ed as I am when he gets his weekly obligatory, b.s. TD while the real #1 Boldin is doing all the work.
