The News Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt has declared Matt Leinart as his starting quarterback, according to the Arizona Republic. "Matt's the starter," Whisenhunt said. "That's the way it's going to be." Our View This latest quote is a bit strange, considering Whisenhunt said just a week ago that his team would go out and get a quarterback to be in an open competition with Leinart, and Arizona signed Derek Anderson just yesterday. We'd expect Leinart to be the favorite for the job, though he'll still have to earn it by outplaying Anderson in training camp. Read More

The News Al Jefferson was good for 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's 122-100 loss to the Jazz. Our View Jefferson was right around all of his season averages in this one, but it may seem disappointing compared to the three double-doubles and 36-point effort he spoiled his owners with earlier this month.

The News Brandon Jennings scored a team-high 21 points in Milwaukee's loss to the Clippers on Wednesday. Our View He bounced back nicely from an 8-point effort last time out.
