    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.

    Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread 12-25-2022 (Christmas Night)

    It’s my perspective, anyway. Bridges was a Suns draft pick—and a great pick after a bunch of bad picks. He’s struggling in areas but I hope he’s still developing. Meanwhile KD has been criticized here for ring-chasing and Twitter shenanigans—with language far harsher than I would ever use...

    I bought a guitar

    Funny thing is I’ve changed my own answer, of course… Lately I’m just running a tremolo with the amp’s reverb. I really like the HoF though: lots of options and a tone knob. I’ve been really wanting a Surfybear reverb but might need to sell a couple things first.

    Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread 12-25-2022 (Christmas Night)

    “Sorry?” What’s the point of that word? I just said how I cheer as a fan and where my limits are. You’re the one who just said that you honestly wonder what some members are doing when they watch games. For the record, yes, I had misgivings about the Barkley trade. If you were to search you’d...

    Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread 12-25-2022 (Christmas Night)

    Bridges is my guy and Durant isn’t. KD is an all-time great but I don’t much like him, and I don’t want Bridges traded for him straight up or in a package. Wanting to cheer for players you like on a team you love isn’t some incomprehensible thing. At a certain point you might as well just cheer...

    New Owner - Mat Ishbia

    Simmons commented that one aspect of this sale is setting a bar for expansion fees, which go directly to the owners, as opposed to CBA-governed revenue. Seems doubtful the owners will approve relocation from a good market over a massive windfall from expansion teams. Charlotte was the last...

    ASU's New Head Coach Is Kenny Dillingham

    I won’t deny being a homer, but I like it. If his dream job is the place where he’s from and the place where he can make his career, that’s something to cheer for. We all want the coach to wake the “sleeping giant,” but even LSU is on its fourth coach since 2000. I’m not saying I wouldn’t take...

    2022 World Cup Thread

    It’s disappointing, but still exciting . The women led the way, and the culture is already different. Similar to basketball, where there’s a lot of talent. The country is a quarter immigrant, and soccer and basketball are growing in relation to hockey, baseball, and North American football...

    2022 World Cup Thread

    Croatia’s kits are such a delight. Both US and Canada are so inoffensive. I wish Canada had like a version of their Canada Cup hockey jerseys, and the US modernized this. Okay kidding, but I do think stars are something the US can own.
