    Week 4 Arizona Cardinals off season thread. 1/30/23-2/5/23

    Maybe “F***ery” isn’t the right word. I suspect that potential coaches are skeptical of ownership because for decades the Cardinals have been a conservative family business that compared unfavorably to the Rooneys and Maras, for example. Bill may have earned the “cheap” reputation more than...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2022-23 season

    If Jae is allegedly not playing because of a conflict with Monty, and Ayton and Monty didn’t even speak for months after coach allegedly said Ayton quit on the team, how could we expect Kyrie to coexist here? Not making Monty the villain here: I’m sure Kyrie would be 90% of the problem.

    Do you think there's any chance of new uniforms this year?

    I’m also for all-whites, but I don’t need them to be the Lomax ones. I was also a fan of the Tillman era unis that preceded the current look. They usually wore red/white or white/red though. I don’t mind the gray facemasks ultimately. I don’t love white on white helmets. Red is an obvious...

    Is Kyler the one?

    I’m feeling pretty critical as well, but since Kyler is here for another couple years, I’m going to focus on the fact that he can be great at times and hope it clicks more often than not. There will be QBs in every draft (more in some than others) and Cards don’t need to draft one this year. I’m...

    The Ayton Plan

    Regardless of how Ayton stacks up against other #1 picks, in his own draft class I still don’t see how you take anyone else aside from Doncic at #1. Sure, in hindsight you can imagine trade-down scenarios where you pick up some pairing of Young, SGA, Brunson, Robert Williams etc. — and maybe...

    The Ayton Plan

    The cynical part of me thinks Ayton will put it all together, but for one season and somewhere else.

    Do you care as much as you used to?

    Fair enough. With the Cards the SB really stung for me because it seemed so miraculous that they were there and seemed (seems?) so impossible that they’d get back. I’ve always had more faith in the Suns because of the success, but I understand how that can add to the frustration.

    Do you care as much as you used to?

    You’re absolutely correct, but I still don’t feel like it’s a category apart from say the Jazz and Nets each losing their two finals in a row, or the Nuggets and Clippers having never made the finals. Hopefully Ishbia is our Cuban and brings us a title, because the Mavs would otherwise be right...

    Do you care as much as you used to?

    Maybe it’s because I live around a lot of Bills and Leafs fans, but I just don’t feel like the Suns are as cursed as others do. Six current franchises have never made the finals, and four more have only lost the finals. Eight current franchises have won a single championship, three of them in...

    Do you care as much as you used to?

    I care as much as ever but I don’t get that worked up in the regular season for any team. I watch because I enjoy cheering for my teams regardless of what happens. Plus even in bad seasons there can be interest. I think CPs game is gone but that’s not a surprise—but we’ll be entering a retool...

    MNF: Damar Hamlin

    Fair point, but I don’t think it’s certain they wouldn’t accept it. If the playoffs are not going to be rescheduled, the only on-field alternative will be a mid-week game, and Cincinnati may feel that it’s too risky on top of the trauma, even if they had a slight lead. So what then? They’d need...

    MNF: Damar Hamlin

    I think you misunderstood because I was suggesting the opposite. If they award a tie or flip a coin in place of the suspended game, nothing else moves.

    MNF: Damar Hamlin

    I think the NFL has flexibility because of the seriousness of this situation. With minimal grumbling they could probably award a tie, coin flip for the win, or flip for position if Buffalo and Cincinnati are tied with each other after next week.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2022-23 season

    https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/1/2/23535093/nba-predictions-finals-mvp-draft-2023 Prediction #14 the Suns new ownership makes a big move. Towns? Butler? Siakam? LeBron? I guess I could stomach LeBron if Bridges is part of the package. Just hate that guy! ;)

    Waiting to trade Crowder

    It’s not a great situation to be sure. I’d like the Suns to get something and move on, but I really don’t want them to make a lopsided deal in the west and then watch Crowder make a material impact on the playoff race—especially if the Suns are fighting a low seed or a play-in spot.
