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 [...]

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 [...]

Well it worked out last week with the Packers so now I’ll turn my attention to the Cajun set.  New Orleans is actually one of the few teams who has had even less playoff success than the Cardinals as they’ve recorded a 2-6 record in their 6 playoff appearances.  YouTube didn’t have much… Saints First [...]

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 [...]

Now this footage is grainy because of how incredibly rare it is (think Big Foot or Loch Ness Monster) but it reveals that Cardinals kicker Neil Rackers has in fact previously made a game winning field goal. Look closely and you’ll see Rackers is the gentleman standing furthest back from the pile of of red [...]
