The Cardinals made some fascinating moves this week, calling up Jimmy Crooks and Nelson Velazquez, but, as Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss, it's less about the players themselves and more about what the movies say about what the Cardinals think about this season ... and the opportunity in front of them right now. Plus: Leitch will be in the Tarps Off section on Tuesday! Please do not take p...
