Epic failure has a new home.

Can I just make this entire post a long sigh? As the morning games were kicking off I (along with the rest of the world) discovered that Kurt Warner would not in fact be making the start for the Cards and that it would be Matt Leinart running the offense. Obviously with Matt in the [...]

Since everyone is in a bash Matt Leinart mood this week I’ve decided to throw a bit of fuel on the fire by throwing out an alternative for Cardinals backup QB in 2010. First his resume: 32 year-old 2-time Pro Bowler. 122 career TD passes and over 22,000 career yards. Has previously backed up Kurt [...]

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 [...]

Here at SoD we keep our minds in the present but put an eye towards the future – so we do not forget about Matt Leinart. I’ve become a bit of a Leinart apologist in the past year and I do think he is the QB of the future. Watch him light-up the Packers in [...]

It’s pretty difficult to read anything into the final preseason game of the season since as previously referenced the game is a total piece of crap in which no teams really commit any of their players. Add to that the game was completely unwatchable and Oregon was playing Boise State and I have limited thoughts. [...]

It is fairly well acnkowledged that the 4th NFL preseason game is a complete joke. Teams tend to play their starters for the entire first half in the 3rd game and then use the 4th to rest their stars and get one last look at a bunch of guys who either have no shot at [...]

Although he doesn’t know it – Sports Illustrated writer Don Banks and I have quite a rivalry. In one of my many posts in which I just go after someone for writing something I don’t like, I threw together nearly 1000 words to go after Banks and his flawed arguments for picking the Cardinals to [...]

As has been noted repeatedly on this site – the NFC Champions opened their preseason slate on Thursday with a battle against the evil gun-toting Pittsburgh Steelers. Since I was generally incapable of watching this on live TV for fear of a freak-out when they showed various clips from SB43 I was fortunate enough to [...]

A number of sports-related phenomena never fails to amaze me. Included on this illustrious list is the staggering ability of NFL Draft prospects to increase their stock, sometimes by a number of ROUNDS, based solely upon the NFL Draft Combine, university-sponsored Pro Days, and individual workouts. The latest such prospect, and perhaps one of my [...]
