Late last night my advanced scouts and I sat down and made the following conclusions with regard to the Cardinals’ roster. We are not happy campers right now. We were very disappointed with what we saw on defense and special teams this pre-season and we are poised and ready to address the issues. We were far more pleased […]

Are we at a crossroads with the Suns? It’s an interesting question I have been asking myself. It sounds like a weird question to be asking with a team with a young star in Amare, the best point guard in the league and a team core that has only been together a few years. We […]

Don’t look now, but the Mercury have reached the Western Conference Finals. Actually, you probably should look now because they need your support. That’s right, there is basketball in August and the Mercury’s next opponent in the playoffs is the San Antonio Silver Stars. It may not mean as much to some, but beating San […]

Going into last week’s pre-season game versus the Chargers, it would seem that Cardinal rookie undrafted college free agents WR Matt Trannon and LB David Holloway were battling for spots on the practice squad. However, Trannon’s clutch 3/40/13.3/1/30 (catches/yds./ave./TDs/long) fourth quarter performance and David Holloway’s flying Cardinal sack of Billy Volek vaulted both players into the discussion for […]

The story of Angelo Richardson is not a pleasant one to remember. Richardson was a lightening quick receiver, but not undersized like Santonio Holmes. With 19 receiving TD’s and 1,334 receiving yards, he set the single season records for his junior college. There were great expectations for him moving on to the next level. He […]

If ever there was a late-August match-up that could shape a pennant race, this is it.  The D’Backs visit San Diego for a four-game tilt this week.  The swing in this single series is obvious.  If the Padres sweep, they leapfrog the D’backs in the NL West.  If the D’Backs sweep, they will have built […]

The third pre-season game is supposed to be a dress rehearsal for NFL teams. If that’s the case, Cardinal fans will have to load up on antacids, aspirins and sedatives to prepare for the real games. This 33-31 home loss for the Cardinals was wild and wooly from start to finish, from J.J. Arrington’s opening 70 yard kickoff […]

I went to the Dbacks/Cubs game Friday night and although I was it was an air-conditioned environment, I could have sworn I was back at Sun Devil Stadium for a Cardinals game. The home town fans had a tough time battling the visiting crowd, almost as tough a time as the home team had with […]

I moved to Phoenix three years ago and for a time, I let my attendance be dictated by the visiting team.  Like many valley residents, I came here with pre-existing loyalties to other teams.  Unlike many of these transplants, it didn’t take long for this team to win me over.  With just over 30 games left in […]
