I was wrong, Kurt Warner should be the Cardinals starter
That’s not only what Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt should say but it’s what I’ve had to admit around the office all day.
Last week I spent time and energy championing Matt Leinart as the answer to the Cardinals quarterback […]

Former Phoenix Suns point guard Jason Kidd had an interesting comment today.
He told Dan Bickley that if they win the gold medal he will be giving it away.
At first I thought, OK sounds kind of cool, is he giving it to his son, a terminally ill child, or maybe to his now ex-girlfriend as […]

It was another day on the Anquan Boldin “Trade me because you don’t respect me” tour and things just keep getting more unsettling.

That’s what Bob Melvin said about the Diamondbacks closer, for the time being, Brandon Lyon. It’s a nice sentiment but it’s time for Melvin to start changing his tune.
Brandon Lyon’s early season roar has become nothing more than a whimper and Melvin has to do something about it. In a […]

Does anyone remember SlamBall, the quasi sport that used to be on Spike TV (yes I know there are people asking three things, what is SlamBall, what does quasi mean and what is Spike TV?)? For the three of you who remember congratulations you made me feel like less of a loser.
SlamBall is back after […]

I was going to pen (I guess type is the better term here because I haven’t put pen to paper since college) yet another take on why the Anquan Boldin situation will distract the Cardinals, who is to blame (obviously Drew Rosenhaus) and how it could possibly send the Cardinals into another disappointing season but […]

OK, it’s not quite hell freezing over but Ivan Maisel does make some interesting Pac-10 predictions.
Maisel makes “5 Pac-10 Predictions” over at ESPN.com and the list includes a prediction about both ASU an UofA. The ASU one isn’t surprising at all.
Arizona State will be a disappointment.
How Dennis Erickson coached last season’s team to a 10-3 […]
