Seasons of Discontent

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 [...]

Saying goodbye sucks.  Call me a dope but ever since Kurt Warner burst onto the NFL scene in 1999 I’ve loved the guy.  I suppose it’s a bit surprising that I was such a big fan of a player on an opposing team, but did you live through the 1999-2004 Cardinals?  Those were not good [...]

Welcome to the column that is basically written 100% for the people who actually write SoD. I realize this provides little to no intrinsic value for our readers but hey – we need something to keep our weekends interesting.
Due to what can only be called the “Fuck You Dr. G Rules”, we actually had [...]

Excuse me for the length of time it’s taken me to get this post up as I’ve spent the last 2+ days attempting to catch my breath from one of the most exciting playoff games in NFL history.  As I’ve explained to several of my friends who are not Cardinals fans – this game would [...]
