Football is coming, and change is in the air. Edgerrin James has even ditched the gold teeth. "It was time to take them out," the Cardinals running back said. "I had them for a long time, but I took off my mask. Now the real 'Business Edge' will surface." If you didn't notice, new salt keeps pouring into old wounds. This time, another Colts player not named James just hit the jackpot. This time, it was defensive end Dwight Freeney, who snagged a $30 million signing bonus from Indianapolis. It must hurt to be so not missed. "Man, I am so over that," James said. "When the Super Bowl was done, we were all hanging out again. They know I was a part of what they did. They know I helped build what they became. And all throughout the year, (Colts running back Joseph) Addai and I became really close friends. He was calling me for advice like every day, all day long." Besides, James is an optimist by nature, and he sees 2007 as a year of resurgence, a time to step up, not down. The new-look Cardinals have committed to running the football. New coach Ken Whisenhunt has promised James at least 300 carries. New assistant coach Russ Grimm almost guarantees a better offensive line all by himself.
