Larry Fitzgerald charges Michael Floyd with 'DWI' and gets desired results
Posted by: Howard Sinker Updated: July 11, 2012 - 8:59 AM
On Monday, Arizona Cardinals' star wide receiver (and Holy Angels grad) Larry Fitzgerald got social media ornery about first-round draft choice (and Cretin-Derham Hall grad) Michael Floyd not showing up for the workouts that Fitz is running.
On Monday, Fitzgerald tweeted:
Just finished a great workout with @Wellefast. I'm charging @MichaelMFloyd with a DWI "don't want it" he missed a 3rd straight workout 2day.

The Cardinals blog "Revenge of the Birds" was among those who picked up on the situation, wondering whether Fitzgerald was really frustrated -- and whether he had a right to be.
Blogger Jess Root asked: "Does it concern you that Fitz would publicly call out a teammate like that, for whatever reason?"
On Tuesday, however, all appeared to be resolved.
NBCsports.com, among others, reported that Floyd showed up -- and Fitz was impressed.
And Fitz tweeted:
Just finished another strong workout with @Wellefast. @MichaelMFloyd killed it 2day & led the group in all drills & squaded 400+. #beast
