Brenda Warner Wants Denzel Washington To Portray Kurt Warner.......Wait, What?

Denzel Washington is a great actor. He's portrayed Malcom X and Hurricane Carter. Training Day, Crimson Tide, and Inside Man are some of my favorite movies. Washington has portrayed every type of character imaginable. Portraying Kurt Warner though would definitely be Washington's hardest character.

In a interview with Paul Bolvin of the Arizona Republic, Warner admitted he's not going down the path of Brett Favre. Warner, who is set to broadcast games with Fox this season, also said he's been offered reality shows that would follow his family. Warner's herd of kids would make Jon & Kate look infertile. The money quote of the interview though was Warner talking about his talks with movie producers interested in making a movie about his life. Warner said his wife Brenda wants Denzel Washington to portray him.

"It would probably challenge Denzel in ways he's never been challenged before," Warner said.

You think?  Denzel has portrayed many characters, but I doubt he could ever portray a white grocery-bagging turned NFL MVP-Super Bowl winning quarterback. I would love Denzel Washington to portray me in a movie, but it ain't happening.

My question from this, who would portray Brenda? Does William Petersen portray the St. Louis Brenda then somehow morph into Halle Berry to portray the Arizona Brenda? Interesting when you think about it.

One thing is for sure, Denzel Washington won't be portraying Kurt Warner in a film and Spike Lee thinks Brenda Warner is a racist.

Warner Used The 49ers

It is being reported that Kurt Warner has signed a two-year deal with the Cardinals worth $23 million and $16 million guaranteed.

Under the terms of the deal, Warner will receive a $15 million signing bonus and $4 million base in each of the two seasons.

"Kurt and I are appreciative of the way the [team GM] Rod Graves and the Cardinals resolved the negotiations," said Warner's agent, Mark Bartelstein.

The negotiations ran all Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning. One of the big breakthroughs came Tuesday when Warner, who had been asking for $14 million to $16 million a year, reduced his asking price to $11.5 million a year, as long as there were substantial guarantees in 2010.

He was also willing to take $1 million less a season if the team successfully satisfied the contract extension demands of wide receiver Anquan Boldin.

Kurt Warner though visited with the Niners on Monday.

On Monday, Warner flew by private plane to San Francisco to visit the San Francisco 49ers, who outlined the parameters of a contract that would be for more money and more guarantees than the Cardinals were willing to offer. Though the 49ers offer was not firm, Warner knew he could come close to his idea of being paid like a top-five quarterback, which, in his view, is the $14 million to $16 million range.

So in effect, Warner used and abused the 49ers to get what he wanted in Arizona. While I never wanted Warner to begin with, it's not cool to use another team to get what you want.

Look I know athletes use teams to get leverage from other teams. But I don't expect it to come from a bible-thumping, do-gooder, like Warner. I thought he was what is suppose to be good in the league. In the end, though he is just as greedy as every athlete out there.

Warner is going to regret, turning his back on the San Fransisco 49ers.

Warner Visting With the 49ers

The San Fransisco 49ers have already talked about the possibility of signing Michael Vick. While that doesn't look reasonable, they are meeting with Kurt Warner today.

Now I have already talked about how they are giving up on Shaun Hill to soon. And signing Warner would push Hill to the back of the line once again.

First let me give you my opinion on Warner. Kurt Warner is a fine quarterback. Only one problem though, he has only preformed when surrounded by great receivers. In St. Louis, he had Issac Bruce and Tory Holt in their prime. In Arizona he has had Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Bolden. He has only preformed with great receivers around him.

He had his chance with the New York Giants. He wasn't surrounded with top flight receivers and was sub-planted for the job by a rookie quarterback in Eli Manning.

Warner will also be 38 when the season begins. So do they want to give a big contract to a player who is old and has injury problems in the past. Once again the Niners are turning their backs on Shaun Hill.

While I realize Hill isn't the ideal quarterback you want, the guy is a winner. He doesn't have the strongest arm in the league, but the guy is a winner. For heaven's sake, he took Maryland to a BCS bowl game. No other quarterback has been able to do that since.

Niners coach Mike Singletary needs to realize, he wouldn't have had this job if it wasn't for Hill during the stretch last season. Singletary would be an assistant somewhere in the league right now, if it weren't for Shaun Hill.

The Niners and Mike Singletary would be stupid if they turned their backs on Shaun Hill now. For all the things he has done for them, you would think he would get more gratitude. Shaun Hill is the Rodney Dangerfield of the 49ers, he can't get no respect.
