This is the time of year when one of the most frequently-asked questions is, “are you ready for some football?”

We won’t be asking that, but will be talking about the Arizona Cardinals, who start their season Sunday night with a nationally-televised game against the New England Patriots.

Sports Illustrated, by the way, is picking the Cards to win the Super Bowl. With KJZZ's The Show for a preview of this season is Jess Root. He’s the NFL site editor for Cards Wire, which is part of USA Today’s NFL Wire.
