For all 90 of you out there that have downloaded audio files, here’s more interviews with Nash and a few other fella’s.

Nothing real special here. A lot of talk about defense which might be because there were a lot of questions about defense. I suppose there’s some interesting quotes in there for the casual fan but you hard corps types won’t be surprised unless you didn’t know that running the pick and roll each time down the floor in every fourth quarter in every game might be tiring for the point guard.

It was nice though to hear Steve fully unplugged talking about his summer and joking about his Step-bro. Steve’s a funny guy in that dry humor kind of way.

And we here at BSoS all wish Barbosa’s mom the best. We “meet” her over the years in various Suns TV spots. We know that she visits Leandrihno each year and leaves his fridge full of yummy Brazilian food. LB clearly is a momma’s boy and frankly, who can blame him. We hope she recovers quickly from whatever ails her.

Grant Hill waits to “chat” with Rick Welts, who was strangely absent on Media Day.

Darren Urban from azcardinals.com says the Cardinals need to tighten up the defense.  He also thinks the Cardinals would do themselves good by scoring first.  I couldn’t agree more!
Jason Harris of the AZRedReport on scout.com reports the Cardinals are the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.  That was also my fear if […]

ESPN.com’s Mike Sando reports that the game this week between the Buffalo Bills and the Arizona Cardinals on CBS, will be called by Bill Macatee and Steve Beuerlein.  They rank seventh out of seven CBS crews.  I’m surprised after last week they even wanted to send a crew to televise the game.  Well, I guess […]

Looking at what’s going around the NFL, more so around the Fan-Sided Network and what bloggers are saying about their teams today.
First and foremost, I have to mention the Dallas Cowboys.  One of their bloggers, and I say one cause I know not everyone over at The Landry Hat agree on this, but it seems […]

The Suns have a new look this season and we aren’t talking about the style of basketball they will implement.
When the Suns drafted Robin Lopez with the 15th pick, fans wondered how long it would be until he had an impact on the team. Well, one day into training camp his presence […]

Now that the season has come to a whimpering end for the 2008 Arizona Diamondbacks, it’s time to take a look back at the season that was. This will be part 1, with part 2 coming later this week in which i take a look at the Dbacks going forward.
First things first: No matter how […]

On a day when the stock market and the Cardinals are trying to recover from a complete and utter collapse there is some light at the end of the tunnel. That light is the start of Phoenix Suns training camp.
During the off season the Suns added new head coach Terry Porter, […]

When you look at the final numbers, and see an 82-80 record, and a second place finish 2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, you’d immediately consider 2008 a success for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Not so quick.
Bob Melvin’s team led the division from April 6th to September 5th. That’s 136 […]

The 2008 Pittie Awards

Well, the baseball season is over for the Diamondbacks, isn’t it? I know this, because we finally were able to start getting caught up on the mountain of unwatched DVDs and Tivo’d television last night - we watched the three-hour Heroes special from last week, the first we’d seen of the show, having had it highly-recommended to us by more than one source. It was ok, but we felt somewhat lost: we may bump into it again, but it won’t be added to perma-Tivo status. We have enough there already, between Fringe, Primeval and Dexter.

But it’s now time to start looking forward to the off-season - and we start by looking back at the 2008 season, as I work on the end of season awards, known as the Pitties. I’m looking for nominations, particularly for Play, Performance, Game and Unsung Hero of the Year, so please throw your suggestions into the comments over the next week or so. If you don’t, then I expect to hear no grumbling when your favorite is omitted from the final list of nominees! As a reminder, here are the categories and the reigning champions: 

  • Play of the year: Brandon Lyon, June 5 vs. SFG
  • Performance of the year: Micah Owings, August 18 vs. ATL
  • Game of the year: May 19, comeback vs. PIT
  • Unsung hero of the year: Chris Snyder
  • Rookie of the year: Chris Young
  • Cy Young: Brandon Webb
  • Most Valuable Player: Brandon Webb
