Thank you to Michael Bidwill and the Arizona Cardinals for a rewarding 24-year journey with the organization. That chapter comes to a close as I transition into an expanded and exclusive role with ESPN.
I am grateful to Michael and his father, Bill Bidwill, who in 2002 entrusted me with the opportunity to be the voice of an NFL franchise. I will always treasure the lifelong friendships formed with broadcast teammates Jim Omohundro, Ron Wolfley, AQ Shipley, and Paul Calvisi.
I was blessed to witness and call memorable games including Super Bowl XLIII, and legendary players like Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald among others.
I am also tremendously grateful to Jimmy Pitaro, Burke Magnus, and Mike McQuade for this incredible opportunity with ESPN. I am thrilled to begin this next chapter of my career.
Having spent nearly half my life with the Cardinals organization, my wife and I will continue to call Phoenix home, and will always be grateful for the passion and loyalty of Cardinals fans.

My father was a man of strength, love and encouragement. He opened countless doors for me and my brother. He believed in us and pushed us to pursue every opportunity with conviction, he was the rock of our family. He taught us that perseverance, hard work, and unwavering commitment are the foundations of a meaningful life and personal success. I will carry his love, words, and wisdom with me always.

Coach McGinnis believed in me when nobody else did. He stood on the table on draft day and brought me to Arizona. When my career was at a dead end after tearing both of my ACLs, he advocated for the Titans to pick me up.
Every athlete needs a Coach Mac in their corner...somebody that has their back regardless of the situation they are in. I hope to be someone else's Coach Mac. But, there was only one Coach Mac - he loved his players like family and treated everyone with respect.
Rest in peace.
As a rookie NFL announcer, Dave McGinnis welcomed me, then looked after me. Over the years, every encounter was a strong embrace, & him saying how proud he was of me. There are countless others with similar stories on the fatherly love he showed to all. Gonna miss you, Mac!!
