Good bye

Date October 30, 2007

An old song asks, “Where is the good in good-bye?” For the Arizona Cardinals, it would be hard to imagine a better good bye than this weekend. Also, for the first time in many years, the bye week is not causing Cardinal fans to turn their attention to the draft.
The Cards are 3-4; […]

Steve Nash still upset at David Stern

Date October 30, 2007

You hear athletes talk about how things don’t bother them, how they’ve moved on to face the task at hand, forgetting entirely things that happened in the past.
It’s nice to know that they still hold grudges, much like we the fans do.
Paul Coro’s blog yesterday had quotes from Steve Nash, which sort of eluded to […]

Phoenix Suns home opener could be Kobe-less

Date October 29, 2007

We should be thankful that Shawn Marion is back in the fold, playing hard and with the trade rumors a thing of the past. Who knows for sure what is going on with Marion, but from the outside it appears all that is behind him and the Phoenix Suns. The goal of winning a championship […]

Time to get real

Date October 26, 2007

ASU is #4 in the BCS Rankings… right.
If I choose to buy into the idea that ASU is #4, that means I have to respect that Ohio State is #1 and Boston College is #2. Considering that Boston College basically stole the game last night in the last few minutes and Ohio State has played […]

Phoenix Suns take down the Denver Nuggets

Date October 26, 2007

Amare Stoudemire opened the game with a solid post move and then a jumper.
And man, his jump shot is beautiful now. He caught the ball in transition on the left side of the floor, about four feet inside the three-point line, and nailed a great, fluid shot.
Despite a sluggish start, the Phoenix Suns eventually beat […]

Boris Diaw back to the bench

Date October 25, 2007

Sad for Boris Diaw, but it’s good for the Phoenix Suns. It means Amare Stoudemire is back in the lineup.
He looked pretty fresh and hopping during their Open Practice on Tuesday, even throwing down some amazing dunks.
Paul Coro wrote that Diaw is headed back to the bench, but it’s nothing new to the guy. Even […]

Phoenix Suns to be on TNT Thursday, October 25th

Date October 24, 2007

Because of the wildfires in California this week, the Phoenix Suns will now have their preseason matchup against the Denver Nuggets shown on TNT Thursday night, October 25th.
Previously the L.A. Lakers were playing the visiting Utah Jazz at San Diego Sports Arena, but with the evacuations and devastation going on in San Diego County, they […]

The bye week comes as a blessing in disguise…for San Diego

Date October 23, 2007

You can attribute it to whatever you want. Luck, the Almighty, whatever. But the fact that the Arizona Cardinals are on a bye this week came at a most important time for the San Diego Chargers.
Because of wild fires in San Diego County, something like half the team have been evacuated from their homes, which […]

Wide Left

Date October 21, 2007

In a game that epitomized the notion that teams lose when they turn the ball over, commit costly penalties and suffer special teams lapses, the Arizona Cardinals rallied from a 21-6 deficit, to line up for a potentially game-winning 55 yard field goal with 7 seconds left…alas, Neil Racker’s boom of a kick sailed left […]

Arizona Cardinals come close, but lose to the Redskins

Date October 21, 2007

After the Arizona Cardinals lost to the Baltimore Ravens a few weeks ago, I stated that sometimes there are moral victories no matter what people say. From that loss, you could see confidence grow in the team which resulted in a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers the following Sunday.
Well, one moral victory a season is […]
