More refreshing perspective

Recommended reading: Paula Boivin’s piece on Cardinals star Larry Fitzgerald in The Arizona Republic.

Fitzgerald demonstrates one can be a top-flight NFL receiver —in fact, he might be the league’s best — and yet NOT be a diva. Who knew that was possible?

Showing wisdom in his choice of influences, Fitzgerald has become close with quarterback Kurt Warner, a notable straight-arrow.

"It can be lonely out here," Fitzgerald told Boivin. "I'm a single male and kind of a local celebrity, I guess. I have the finances to do what I want to do, but Kurt has everything you could ask for: a family, kids. When things go out of whack, he's the guy I rely on."
