    Dusting off the old typewriter

    I enjoyed your article, agree with most of it. The parts I don't agree with are: I feel like I'm being obvious, but look at the leads they've lost. They don't consistently maintain focus and edge, and that pattern, if it is a habit, could kill them (with bad luck) in the playoffs. I'm more...

    J.J. Arrington and Russ Grimm

    I wonder if we could raise JJ's trade value if we claimed that he was basically dogging it here and could be another Jones if the right team traded for him? j/k, I guess....

    2007 Cardinals: LB & DB Analysis and Team Needs

    About WLB, I’d be happy if we got a good FA, and I agree with McGirt and cbus about Huff, but there are also prospects of Darling and Brandon Johnson, which combine with the chance of a FA to give us good odds of being at least OK for LB. And there can be good WLB options found late in the...

    2007 Cardinals: LB & DB Analysis and Team Needs

    Thanks, Mitch, for the informative, sensible write-up. My summary of it would be: we're pretty well off, with many possibilities, at LB, not horrible at safety, and in really bad shape at CB, with a few unlikely prospects for an adequate staff. If that's right, we should be making...

    Thanksgiving Day tradition in jeopardy?

    I'd rather get rid of the Cowgirls game. I refuse to watch it--vomiting up my dinner is not an appealing end to Thanksgiving.

    Is Asante Samuel Realistic Goal In FA?

    Also, the reported 40 times I've seen for CBs in the draft are mostly bad (not that they're trustworthy). I'm concerned there are no real future shut-down NFL CBs to be had there, unless you roll the dice and pray. If that's right, Samuels' value goes up, but the chance we can get him goes down.

    Evolution of the Big 8...

    Almost all true, I'd say. I don't agree that Diaw is another Pippen, yet. Too nice--Pippen was not nice. That may be the problem with this whole team--they're all really nice. Even KT, even Bell--when he was frustrated to hell by Kobe and the refs, what he did was a NICE put-down. That...

    The Official ASFN 2007 Cardinals Season Prediction Thread

    I want to say 9-7--after all, Green's coaching stupidity surely cost the Cards 3 games last year. On the other hand, I mostly agree with az1965's list--if anything, I can't believe we'll win all 3 in-conference home games. So I have to compromise at 8-8. Hope I'm way too low, and if we only...

    Grimm Hired by Cardinals as Asst HC/ OL Coach

    I just saw the news--slow. I'm mildly hyped by this. I don't care too much how much the Bidwills are paying the coaches, as long as they get results. There's no guarantee of that, no matter what the coaching track record, or even talent, are. I was really hopeful when Green signed, too...

    Jiminy Cricket, that's all I can say. I love the Suns.

    Defense stands tall

    I dunno...I saw only part of the game, but the Knicks seemed to play really badly for a team that has been winning recently, and some of that was just their own mistakes. Misreading cuts, stupid charges.... There was some good defense, too, especially by KT, but I'm not sure the win could be...

    If you win your divison "HOW CANYOU NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS?"

    In college basketball, I think that winning the conference also means winning the most games against other conference members, and 'guaranteed' places in the NCAA go to the conference winner (unless, of course, the conference has a play-off (as almost all do now), in which case things are doubly...

    Amare Trade Check

    Let's be realistic. I would happily trade Amare for Wade plus Lebron plus Brand. Maybe with a draft pick thrown in from the Knicks, just to get them involved.

    Does anybody else see how the coaching staff cost us this game?

    Slanidrac, I certainly don't want to defend the current coaching staff about anything, but I don't follow your reasoning. Down 31-19, we need 12 points to tie. Figuring on 2 more scoring drives, that can be 2-pt-conversion + 3 + 7, or 1-pt-kick + 3 + 8. Either way, we need a risky 2-point...

    These threads suck...

    First, I'm sad to see all the people quitting, threatening to quit, leveling stupid insults, etc. I think My3suns is right that average thread quality has declined, but you can tell a lot of the stupid threads by title, author, or early posts, so just don't open them. As far as number of...

    Nash resting, Stoudamire draws a foul, Marion has also been hitting 3s after a crud T call, 6 pt lead after 3rd Q.

    Suns vs Jazz thread

    Some cheap fouls called, & turnovers--now a 1 point lead. Banks & Stoudamire in.

    Suns vs Jazz thread

    Second half, Barbosa has been amazing, generating half-court offense by going by his man over & over, getting shots or fouls or assists for 3-pointers. 15 point Suns lead right now--oops, down to 10. Nash had some great long passes, too.

    Should Coach Mac Return?

    I will admit, i voted yes. No, I don't predict more victories from the move--unless motivation is all we need, which I doubt. But he is a nice guy, who relates to players--that puts him two up on Green. And I don't mean I want him next year, just as a different-from-zilch substitute. Or...

    Offensive Line

    It's easy for us to say "throw away $4 Mill", but it's harder if it's your money and there's no clear superior choice around. Oh, I still wish they would do it--after all, it's completely covered and more by the naming rights profit. Before Green was hired, some posters favored Jim Fassel...

    If the Arizona Cardinals where defending the Alamo

    Please send that to the Republic as a letter. It has a good chance of breaking through into the Fortress of Solitude where Green and the Bidwills stash their minds.

    Shawn Marion saluted for versatility by USA Today

    Not to take anything away from Marion, but they have a note that Nowitzki was in the top 3 in all 5 categories. They left him out of the list by mistake. If he was 1 or 2 in some of the categories, he'd beat Marion out at PF, or at least be closer than James. Also, they have Nash ranked 25 in...

    Suns at Lakers 10/22

    Banks had 1 assist in 20 plus minutes; in about the same time, Nash had 11. I can't see how the team could handle that clash of styles.

    Season expections/Predictions?

    Banks is key If Banks learns to dish out assists, or just does it, raise that by 5 wins. If not, then lower it by a few, because Nash will get overplayed and suffer a (short-term, I hope) injury.
