Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill sued by personal assistant
Just when things had been quiet so far this offseason with the Arizona Cardinals, Friday morning brought a bombshell. Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill is being sued by his former personal assistant for wrongful discharge.
Brittany Neuheisel was Bidwill's personal assistant from 2019 until last month, when, according to Pro Football Talk, she resigned. As of Friday morning, she was still listed on the official team site as the assistant to the owner.
Neuheisel filed suit on Thursday at the Maricopa County Superior Court, accusing Bidwill of "counts for constructive discharge, wrongful discharge, discrimination based on age, gender, and religion, and intentional infliction of emotional distress."
The accusations are wild.
You can read a full thread of the complaint on Twitter/X.
Among the accusations are:
She was instructed to ship a firearm with FedEx and disregard necessary restrictions.
Bidwill demanded that she provide false information on international disclosures related to his travel by private plane.
He fired the team's former CFO because he had hired a trans-woman in the accounting department.
He got her involved with family conflicts, including filming the reclaiming and sale of a car Bidwill had given to his niece, pressuring her to agree with what he wanted her to do.
He forced her to take care of his dog that had previously attacked her.
When the Cardinals hosted the Los Angeles Rams' playoff game last month, he "directed a tirade at Neuheisel when Rams owner Stan Kroenke didn't personally visit the suite to thank Bidwill for his hospitality."
Bidwill has already been subject to a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal, as former team executive Terry McDonough also sued him and was awarded $3 million.
This will be a situation to pay attention to.

O-line starters, Sam Darnold progress and more Seahawks stories for Cardinals fans to know
O-line starters, Sam Darnold progress and more Seahawks stories for Cardinals fans to know A look at some stories from the last week that Cardinals fans should know about the NFC West rival Seahawks. We are 13 weeks from Week 1's Sunday games and done with another week of the NFL offseason. That means we take some time to check in with the Arizona Cardinals' NFC West rivals — the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. What is new with the Seahawks? Below are a few stories from the last week for Cardinals fans to know. First look at first-team OL in OTAs The Cardinals don't allow reporters to reveal anything about which players are running with which teams or what the practice rotations look like, but the Seahawks do. Their first-team offensive line looks like this right now, from left tackle to right tackle — Charles Cross, Grey Zabel, Olu Oluwatimi, Christian Haynes, Abe Lucas Darnold up and down at OTAs The Seahawks gambled big on Sam Darnold after his one good season with the Vikings. In his first offseason in Seattle, he was up and down in practices at OTAs. LB Jones progressing from offseason surgery LB Ernest Jones re-signed with the team and had offseason knee surgery. But he is making progress. While he has not done team drills in OTAs, he has been participating in walkthroughs and individual drills. 100% attendance OTAs are voluntary, but Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald apparently has his players believing in the offseason work. All 90 players on the roster have been in attendance voluntary OTAs. Rookie QB with great work ethic The Seahawks drafted quarterback Jalen Milroe this year. They aren't putting a lot on his plate yet, but Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has great things to say about how Milroe is working.
