Good deeds are Warner’s focus

Good deeds are Warner’s focus

PHOENIX — It’s a chilly, wet December afternoon in the alleged Valley of the Sun and a mud-covered Kurt Warner is lost. He’s just finished helping build an elementary school playground and is driving home to stuff Christmas stockings for more than 100 foster kids when his cell phone rings.

It’s Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, congratulating the 37-year-old quarterback for making his third Pro Bowl, his first as a Cardinal. Warner asks which of his teammates made the team, then reacts to his own good fortune with the enthusiasm of someone who is yawning.
“That’s great … thanks Coach … I couldn’t have done it without the opportunity … see you tomorrow.”
