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 [...]

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 [...]

Taking care of business. That was the name of the game when the Cards took on the walking dead that was the St. Louis Rams. As if the Rams needed to be any worse, they were without Steven Jackson thus introducing the world to the Anti-Triplets – Keith Null, Kenneth Darby, and Donnie Avery. Predictably [...]

I’m not sure whether this speaks more towards my level of expectation for the Cardinals in their Sunday night game against the Vikings or whether it just provides a glaring example of my overwhelming pessimism – but as Zim can attest I took the 49ers/Seahawks game VERY seriously. Desperately wanting to avoid seeing the Cards [...]

A win’s a win…no matter how you get it. I suppose that phrase was never more true than it was after the Cardinals hung on to beat a shitty scrappy 1-win Rams team on Sunday. So on a day in which the Steelers fell to the Chiefs and the Bengals lost to the Raiders I’ll [...]

If you want my brilliant musings on the rest of the Week 5 action check here – but this is a place for Cardinals (and Texans) thoughts only. As I mentioned in my Week 5 column watching games was a bit tricky due to a wedding trip to Denver. However I watched the majority of [...]

So if you go to NFL.com they have this fancy little diddy called NFL RedZone Re-Cutter – basically you get a bunch of highlight clips from each team, for each week and you can make your own videos with the results. The cuts they have are the video broadcast from TV along with either [...]

Add Marcus Fitzgerald’s name to the list of genius dignitaries who don’t realize that a twitter account is not in fact a private thing. Fitzgerald – the brother of our beloved Larry – posted a number tweets on Sunday during the Cards-Jaguars game that were critical of Kurt Warner for not throwing more towards Larry [...]

Well that was certainly quite a bit better than last week wasn’t it? After a rough Week 1 home loss to the Niners it was imperative that the Cards beat the Jags on the road in Week 2 – and fortunately for my sanity they responded. Sure Jacksonville wasn’t exactly a team full of world-beaters [...]

I may be 4-0 on my picks for the week (Chargers-Raiders -9 pending) but that was just about the only joy I could derive from the opening football weekend. Nothing ruins a weekend for me quite like a Cardinals loss, it makes nearly every other games, highlight show, and sports talk radio segment completely [...]
