    Sarver undermining Kerr?

    Honestly I'm sick of Sarver and the way he is running things. If it is true that the Suns want to trim $40 million from next years payroll and have no plan on bringing the salaries back up it is time he sells the team. The goal of fans and this team has been always to win championships not to...

    Video: Larry Fitzgerald with media

    The player getting the most attention this week in Tampa is without a doubt Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald. We knew Fitz was an NFC Pro Bowl starter before the postseason started. But what he’s done in the postseason has taken the football world by storm. Fitzgerald has racked up 23 catches...

    Video interview with Steve Nash, Grant Hill and more at Suns Celebrity Waiters event

    Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Suns Nite Hoops charity event. I had a chance to interview Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Terry Porter, Tom Chambers and others. The event was great and the players and their answers were even better. Check it out here...

    Any news on Barbosa's return?

    He was out at the Suns Celebrity Waiters event last night. Seemed to be in good spirits all things considered. It was nice to see him back.

    Rumor: Tom Izzo to Tucson

    I agree. Izzo's hiring would change the fortunes of this program. He could really make things very interesting in Arizona hoops with ASU on the up swing. I don't think I've been this excited about a UofA basketball rumor in years.

    Rumor: Tom Izzo to Tucson

    Just heard from a source in Tucson that Tom Izzo has contacted the UofA athletic department to express his desire to take over the Arizona basketball program in next season. This source also had the Lute Olson retirement and the Chase Budinger story right this summer. If true Izzo could help...

    Barnes and Nash suspended

    I think this is a complete over reaction by the NBA and at most Barnes and Alston should have been given 1 game suspensions and Nash should have been fined.

    Barnes and Nash suspended

    Reports are that Barnes has been suspended for two games while Nash is out for one. It's going to be an interesting game tonight without Nash, Barnes and Barbosa. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6112585.html

    Suns fans aren't as good as Cardinals fans?

    Haha good point it is probably a large cross over of fans. I guess this has always been a football town and the fact that finally the Cards are winning that it's only logical that fans would be fired up. Also I know as a Suns fan my mentality for the last few years has been "let's start the...

    Suns fans aren't as good as Cardinals fans?

    Saw an interesting article by ValleyofTheSuns.com discussing whether or not Cardinals fans have surpassed Suns fans in how they cheer on their team. I'm not quite sure I agree with the article as Suns fans have sold out or come close to selling out US Airways Center for years while Cardinals...

    Anquan Boldin only the 8th best reciever in football?

    Honestly I'm not sure how. Boldin changes games, is willing to just destroy people by running over them and has no problem going over the middle. Add that to the fact that Boldin is starting to be used in the Wildcat formation and I think that Boldin is slightly better than Fitz as a receiver...

    Anquan Boldin only the 8th best reciever in football?

    True it's not a slight but is Fitz really better than Boldin? I am hard pressed to believe that he is. Anquan is a beast and while Fitz has made strides I'm not sure he is worthy of being considered better. Some people seem to think he's the best receiver in the game...

    Anquan Boldin only the 8th best reciever in football?

    Albert Breer of Sporting News ranked the top 40 receivers today and he had Larry Fitzgerald ranked 4th which seems about right but Anquan Boldin was ranked all the way down at number 8. I find it hard to believe that 7 wide receivers are better than Boldin. He is a game changer and just his...

    Rockets at Suns Game Thread

    Should be a fun game. Suns are catching a break with Shane Battier being out. Should help Shaq and Amare down low. Houston has looked sluggish and didn't play well at all against the Lakers in their last game. At home the Suns hopefully will be able to handle their business. One guy Suns...

    Presently Satisfied With Robin Lopez Pick AT #15 ?

    Honestly Lopez has been a bit of a disappointment. I thought he wasn't going to be the project that it looks like he is, especially on the defensive/rebounding end. He brings energy and interesting hair but that's about it right now. I think by the end of December though that he will find...

    Suns uniforms

    You aren't the first and won't be the last to tell me I have horrible taste and probably won't be the last. I don't think you can put the Suns jerseys with the Pistons, Grizz or Raports of the time. Yes they are a little dated but they were sharp looking and could easily be updated to be popular...
