Kurt Warner Requests HBO Be Blocked At Cardinals' Hotel

January 29, 2009 | ISSUE 45•05

TAMPA BAY, FL—Cardinal quarterback Kurt Warner asked the management of the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay to block access to premium cable network HBO Monday, claiming he wanted to prevent his teammates from inadvertently watching inappropriate programs. "I know a lot of these guys have never been to the Super Bowl before, and I would hate for them to have partial nudity ruin their entire experience," said Warner, adding that he didn't want Cardinals to be exposed to polygamy on the series Big Love. "HBO glorifies curse words, nakedness, and adult situations. As a Christian, I cannot stand by and let my teammates be put in harm's way." According to hotel sources, Warner spent $6,000 ordering pay-per-view programming on the Christian family-friendly network Sky Angel, including the shows Rejoice, Venture In Faith, and repeated viewings of Nasty Nuns Crave Cock.
