The Cardinals beat the 49ers by the same score 24-23 in 1988. Losing 23 at half. I was at that game. It was the last time I took a drink... 36 years ago! Sober
I was there. Have told this story many times. ASU came back to beat Oregon State the night before and fans celebrated by throwing their souvenir cups into the air. It looked like it was raining cups. Then the very next day - the Cardinals defeat the 49ers 24-23. Lomax to Green with :03 on the clock. Fans tossed cups into the air all over again in celebration. I never saw it happen before that weekend or since. Great sports weekend in AZ.

Enjoyed Brady's commentary.

I've found when players are fresh out of the game they tend to be pretty measured, often siding with the players, showing empathy for them when they make mistakes. They understand how difficult the game is. It's fresh in the memory.

The longer they're there though they can become increasingly critical. Shoulda done this, shoulda done that. Harp on about every mistake. As they get absorbed by the media machine they need to make bigger, bolder, earlier and more controversial statements to be heard. Move further and further away from being a player.

There are exceptions of course. The best commentators maintain a nice balance and perspective.

The entire division right now is pretty awful. 10-7 could win it this year.

SF will be getting some players back in a couple weeks but their schedule will be getting tougher also. They can't afford to lose on Thursday and be 0-3 in division.(plus 0-4 in NFC).

Nice job by the Cards defense today. 0 points by SF in second half is impressive.(yes, it helped that SF had no kicker for much of it)

That is so awesome!

There is someone who is dying to be successful. To be great at their job.

That's one reason why I think MO can get us there. He won't make perfect decisions, no. But he will work tirelessly. He will be relentless. His sole purpose in life will be to bring a championship to ARZ.
Meh, you're kind of describing Dave McGinnis (sp?).

To succeed, he simply needs to get lots better at his job and convince his owner to spend and get out of the way.

Help settle a family dispute. My granddaughter Ashley who is a sophomore at Vanderbilt says that their win over Alabama was a better win than our's over the Niners. And, since she was at her game and I wasn't at my game, then that only adds to her argument. What should my I say?
She's right

That was a huge upset

Good win today but anyone notice on that kyler pick he didnt run after bosa? Really bothered me…


I did but I'm ok with it. If he chases after Bosa and gets nailed and injured our season is over.

I get the idea, but I think sometimes QB's have to do that and protect themselves.

Look at how stupid those luxury endzone seats look at the end of Kyler's run. They aren't even full of fans.


There's a story today that said for much of the game the stands were very empty. It was so hot that everyone went to the concourse and were watching the game on the tv screens.

It hit 101 locally yesterday and the side of the field that gets the sun, apparently was basically empty much of the game.

No high profile QB should ever try and tackle a player after an interception. Nothing good can ever come of it even if they don’t get injured.

Mahomes tried to tackle the interceptor and hit his WR1 possibly blowing out his knee. The interception is terrible but please don’t compound the problem.

On Brady I thought he was ok not great. The one caveat, I know he's an adult now but Brady grew up a 49er fan so I have to give him credit that he wasn't openly cheering for them during the game. THat might be why he was a bit "subdued" he was consciously trying to be impartial?

I did like some of the insider stuff, like when he would call out the audible after Kyle made one and explain what the key was, players stacked inside, guy went with the motion man etc.

101? Oh my. LOL
