THE ARIZONA CARDINALS were riding a three-game winning streak halfway through the 2019 season when owner Michael Bidwill called a mandatory all-staff meeting to address the drunken-driving arrest of his right-hand man, executive vice president and chief operating officer Ron Minegar.
It was the second such arrest of a top team official in a year, and Bidwill was irate.
During a Mothers Against Drunk Driving training, Bidwill unleashed a profanity-laced tirade at Minegar in front of everyone at the Tempe facility, along with workers who watched a video feed at State Farm Stadium, people who were there told ESPN.
