No one should question whether Kurt Warner was going to thrive. He was the maestro of the “Greatest Show on Turf.” Warner went from the supermarket to Super Bowl champion. He moved to the Giants for a disappointing season before rekindling his career after signing as a free agent with Arizona. Warner nearly brought the Cardinals a Super Bowl. That’s how much of a Hollywood career he had.
