Seasons of Discontent

Apparently this trade is close to happening.  If you’re not a big fan of clicking links I’ll just lay it out for you:
Suns recieve:
J.J. Hickson & Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Cavs recieve:
Amar’e Stoudemire
On Friday night, Bright Side of the Sun touched on a possible deal that would bring Hickson and Big Z to Phoenix, but it also [...]

If you believe what you read in the papers (and I always do because the media has never lied…ever) the Suns really want Sixers swingman Andre Iguodala.  Apparently really, really bad.  Why you may ask?  Well he’s a pretty good all-around player – he can score, rebound, pass, and defend.  Not a bad combo right? [...]

Yea yea it’s been a while….I missed you too.
In one of the first sets of power rankings I’ve seen since Kurt Warner retired, Foxsports.com ranked the Cards 18th – a full 12 spots below where they finished the season.  Anytime you lose a Hall of Fame-caliber QB and all around dreamboat like Warner you [...]

Well, well, well Phoenix-area professional basketball team – look what you’ve done.  If you’d asked me exactly a week ago if I thought there was any hope whatsoever for the 26-21 Suns as they played Dallas before heading off on a 4 game road trip (featuring 3 Western Conference contenders no less) I would have [...]

Don Banks and I have a complicated one way relationship – he writes things, I hate them, and then I get angry and write back at him on our little-read blog, see here, here, here , here and here for more details.  So with his latest offering – a 2010 NFL mock draft – I [...]

Kurt Warner is going to hold a press conference on Friday.  I won’t bury the lead on you, this just sucks.  Although he hasn’t actually said he’ll retire yet (Warner is currently out of the country), you don’t call a press conference to announce you’re staying unless you’re former KU coach Roy Williams.  As one [...]

The Suns are a bad basketball team.  They may be over .500 (26-21) and they may have 2 All-Star starters, but make no mistake – this is a bad basketball team.  Between the blown leads (8 double-digit blown leads this month), bad losses, and poor efforts the Suns have become really hard to watch.  So [...]

The Suns have a 11-15 record since December 1st.  Slice that no matter what way you want but it’s the very definition of below average basketball.  A weak 7-9 record in December was washed away by concerns over a tough schedule and wins over the Spurs, Lakers and (zombie) Celtics and with a softer January [...]

Well it’s over – and I think it was a success.  After a 45-14 ass-kicking at the hands of the Saints, we can put a bow on the 2009 Arizona Cardinals season.  Regardless of how it ended, and it did end pretty badly, it’s hard to be anything less than happy about how the team [...]

I’ve missed an awful lot of interesting stuff this week while working at the job that “pays me” so what better to catch up than just some good ol’ fashioned random thoughts and minor commentary.

I’m a big fan of Pete Carroll to the Seahawks…as a Cardinals fan.  People can put all the spin they want [...]
