Well, certainly not the best sports weekend for me. First Jeff Gordon misses out on the Chase by two points, losing it to Lipstick Logano, then my Arizona Cardinals blow a game they really should have won. Arrrgh, not a promising start to the season to blow that lead. I must admit though, when we protect Carson Palmer it appears that we finally ( Read more... )

Well, a sister-kisser of a dead even pick to end the season. I have a few thoughts on the season.

• Adrian Peterson is a monster and I am sad that he just missed the rushing record. Glad the Vikings made the playoffs, but really wanted him to break the record. What a season.

• Surely the Tony Romo era is over ? How many excuses can be given for ( Read more... )

This long, painful season for my beloved Arizona Cardinals is nearly over. I did not really think they would beat the Bears, but I was pleased with the defense's effort, even if the offense was just worthless.  5-10 with a game left is not a nice number, and it is also not that nice a likely draft pick either (seems like this will be a slim pickins ( Read more... )

Well, my picks were as horrid as promised, but I will take that when couple with a win by the Arizona Cardinals ! They definitely did not play impressively on offense, but the defense got some turnovers and we managed to get a nice 38-10 win. When I made my picks I made two last minute changes before posting... and missed them both ! That has ( Read more... )

Well, the Arizona Cardinals sure showed what "playing for pride" is all about today. Giving up 58 points ... scoring no points ... turning it over eight times ... letting two different guys run for 100+ yards in the same game. Yes, I did sit and watch every minute. I am here, even when I am whining, for the duration when it comes to the Cardinals ( Read more... )

I think I will leave the description of my beloved Arizona Cardinals today to the readers of my blog. Yay !

My beloved Arizona Cardinals lost their 7th straight, dropping one to the Rams by 14 points. Fourteen points that can be straight up accounted for by having two of Ryan Lindley's three picks ran straight in for touchdowns. Ouch hardly works at this point. I do not think that the ship has officially hit the iceberg, but the captain needs to do ( Read more... )

I think it would be fair to call today's game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Atlanta Falcons ugly. Heck, it might even qualify as "Fugly" . To intercept a quarterback five times and lose seems unthinkable. To get the ball in the opponent's territory time after time and fail to execute is unacceptable. I was not totally shocked when the ( Read more... )

... failure ! Once more the Arizona Cardinals that I hold so dear have failed to deliver. A 31-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers that really was not as close as the score indicates. Too many stupid mistakes and a couple really questionable calls (our running back is a scat back, not a power back, and twice instead of letting him try to use his speed ( Read more... )

The Arizona Cardinals certainly went from the penthouse to the outhouse in a hurry ! A 24-3 loss to the hated San Francisco 49'ers on Monday Night Football ... and at home (I can hear Jaypalm laughing at me as I type... she loves the `niners). I was hoping that last pass would at least get Larry Fitzgerald another touchdown, but even that was not ( Read more... )
