Back in May (tweets RedSoxUnixGeek aka No Cannot Have blogger Shon), the Arizona Cardinals blog rank the chances of Max Komar making the final cut as nil: Under the “Out of the Mix” category, the soon-to-be-crow-eating Revenge of the Birds blogger listed Darren Mougey, Max Komar, Onrea Jones, Deryn Bowser, Juamorris Stewart, Stephen Williams. And said: “The Cardinals certainly stayed active this offseason, bringing in five undrafted wide receivers. Although finding the best man is always important, none of these six receivers, other then Jones, will challenge for a roster spot. With the starters already secured and Roberts’ hold of punt returns, 1-2 of these receivers will be assigned to the practice squad after being released.” You can read the rest of the summation here. Break out the vuvuzelas. (AP file photo: Max Komar against Utah State in 2008)

Question: Don’t you love it when gasbag pundits have to eat their words?
