    Budda Baker has COVId

    Yeah… as an active duty member I get no “option” to get vaccinated or not. Well other than the option of retiring. In 2002 I was vaccinated against anthrax and ended up losing the ability to produce insulin. It was like a 1 in 4 million chance - i won powerball that day.

    Wayyyy OT: COVID Vaccine experience

    As an active duty member I had an opportunity to be a bit of a Guinea pig in early December for the Moderna vaccine. When I showed up to the Navy clinic we received about a 15 minute "briefing" on what the vaccine did/did not do, whom could get it, and what the reactions would likely be...

    OT: Any of you go to this game?

    So "Pat's Run" is on 24 April. While it is not in person (virtual this year) it still a great opportunity to remember Pat and to contribute to his legacy (in support of the foundation and scholarship fund). Plan to get at least 1 of my 3 kids to run with me this year. My avatar is a photo...

    How long have you been a Cardinal fan?

    1982....as a teen/pre-teen My brother and I would stay with grandma in Mattoon, Illinois and watch training camp at Eastern Illinois University (Charleston) when Lomax was the QB (circa 1984/1985). I remember Freddie Joe Nunn and Wolfley as rookies pretty well. Didn't make a single game in...

    Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim cited for DUI on July 4

    So DUIs and the military don't mix. That's another job where you are gonzo. - As an officer with 22 years I'd be done, almost immediately, due to even the accusation of a DUI. All arrests get reported (arrests not convictions) and the reports get forwarded up the chain. Even if you are...

    I know it is a week early... but anyone else going to Redskins game?

    My amazing wife bought the entire family "very good seats" (she wont tell me where, but I suspect they are behind the Cardinals bench) to the Skins game. I'm still active duty (assigned to the Washington Navy Yard) and have made it a point to try and catch road games whenever they pop-up in our...

    Patriots 23 Cards 21: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

    I understand disguising coverage and shifting at the line.... but didn't it feel like we just didn't know what in the hell the call was sometimes on defense? The Blount TD was one example. Get set. Communicate what you see in the offensive set. Then do your job....well. The choreographed...

    Thanks Veterans (and families of vets)

    Sitting here today in our nation's capital with my wife and 3 kids and thinking about how great it is to be home with them for a while. Over the past 2 years I have been off on a special assignment but it has finally come to an end and now I get to enjoy some "down time" back at home. There...

    Pat Tillman - gone 12 years

    My 8 year-old son has seen me wear #40 since he was born, but just yesterday we talked about why. My wife and I are both 4th generation military so it means a lot that our kids "get it".

    Who is going to Cleveland?

    Just got my tickets! Early Christmas present from in-laws. We're driving up from DC on Halloween night to sit 1st row on the 35 yard line behind the Cardinal bench. Whole family is going - 3 kids + wife and I. Last time I saw a Card game in Cleveland Jim McMahon was our Quarterback and Buddy...

    Long drive. John Brown and Marion Grice break away for big gains. 17-23 going into the 4th Q. Arians somehow orchestrates a miracle and we go up 10-2 and maintain the top spot in the NFC.

    Veteran's Day

    So why is it cool to be a vet? Throughout my career (going back to 1991) I've had the opportunity to live in 9 states and visit 47 of them (including Hawaii and Alaska) while riding 17 different ships, flying 5 different types of aircraft, and occasionally relocating across the country with my...

    Brawl at the 49ers vs. Cardinals game

    All professional sports have drunk idiots. A couple of weeks ago I took my kids to a Washington Nationals game. As you go into the stadium there now is a "Building 197" memorial that honors my 12 co-workers who were killed a little over a year ago. Kind of a solemn moment for our family as...

    Fitz fumble after the monster hit (did he seem concussed?)

    Is anyone concerned about Larry? This has nothing to do with targets, catches, production, etc. After Larry got smacked (then powered through and gained a few more yards) I think I might have pulled him for a medical evaluation (even though his blood was hot and he wasn't feeling any...

    Caption this (49ers game)

    Crabtree: Anquan, you realize you just cost us the game. Boldin: I don't give a damn about the game. It's all about respect. I'm a grown ass man and deserve respect. They were disrespecting me. When some no-name number two two started talking smack I had to put him in his place...

    Grew up in central Illinois Born in central Illinois. Grandmother lived right outside of Charleston, IL where the Crads had training camp @ EIU. My brother and I would go watch these real life giants while spending time with our grandmother. The only team I ever played with on the original...

    RIP Pat Tillman

    Thank you all so very much for supporting those of us in uniform! Being in the military is a lot like a marriage - when its great it can be really, really great.... when its tough it can be really, really tough. But its during the tough times that you remember why you joined in the first...
