In the third quarter of the Cardinals’ Week 17 game against the Rams, Hopkins was called for offensive pass interference, a 10-yard penalty. He didn’t like the call, and in showing his displeasure, he flipped a nearby official the bird. That earned him an unsportsmanlike conduct flag and an additional 15 yards against.

There’s been plenty of advocates to get the National League to adopt the rule, and it looks like the voices are growing in numbers. Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak — who has been around the game for two decades and works for Bill DeWitt, one of MLB’s most powerful owners — says there’s been “more momentum” to using the DH in the NL. “I do feel like there were times I could look all of you in the face and say it’s a non-starter, it’s not being discussed at the owner level or GM," he said, via the St....

Blessed with one of the most talented and deepest receiving corps in the NFL, the Cardinals were running at half strength when Brown missed three weeks with a concussion to start camp and Fitzgerald was diagnosed with a “slight MCL issue” last week.
