Tuesday night’s preseason game between the Suns and the Sacramento Kings wasn’t the first time Paul Westphal had invaded Phoenix as an opposing head coach – I found at least three occasions (per basketball-reference.com) in his 2+ seasons as head coach of the Sonics (98-00) where he came to town – but it was the [...]

Thanks to Greg Esposito’s post over at the Deep Purple section of Fanster.com concerning the Suns playing a preseason game at former home Veterans Memorial Coliseum (where the Suns played from ’68-’92) I’ve all of a sudden turned a little bit nostalgic. To honor that nostalgia I feel it would be appropriate to post a [...]

If it’s college football season that can mean only one thing – Scott Howard will be clinging to past glory as tightly as possible. With that enjoy this 10 minute video about the Birth of Kansas State Football. Consider the CATS run from 1940-1989 (37 seasons of 3 wins or less) when you think about [...]

For this proposed scenario to occur Grant Hill would have to take off for Boston or New York and the Suns would [...]

I come to you tonight as SoD’s first international writer. With times being tough in the blogosphere we’ve decided to expand our little Mom and Pop operation on a global basis – either that or I’m here on business for my real job…I’ll let you decide. A lot has apparently changed since I last set [...]

The title says it all – 16 years ago today the Suns and Bulls played one of the greatest games in NBA Finals history. The game was only the 2nd triple overtime game in Finals history – matching Game 5 of the 1976 Finals which also featured the Suns – then playing the Celtics. Interestingly [...]

Zim and I have been furiously debating John Hollinger’s NBA Franchise Rankings for most of the day and we should both be able to add our two cents later tonight or tomorrow (let’s just say I’m not entirely certain the Career Sgt. has ever watched an Orlando Magic game that isn’t in the NBA Finals) [...]

Vince Young Foods has released three new products: smoked sausage, smoked brisket and smoked ribs. Mull that over for a second. I’ll be here, crying softly, remembering VY’s legacy as the greatest college QB of all time. Back? Good. (No, I wasn’t listening to Enya and playing with a straight razor in the tub, why [...]
