Cardinals

“It comes as such an abrupt ending,” Palmer said, via Pro Football Talk. “To be so excited, and have so much going for you, and all of a sudden it just stops. It’s tough on us, it’s tough on our fans, and I think that’s the part that hurts the most. You just feel like you let your fans down, you let your teammates down. We want to keep playing and we can’t.”
