    Does Green really keep his job after today?

    Is there any rule against performance baselines in coaches' contracts? I would not hire a coach unless a provision that all guarantees are off if there's no winning record by year 3. If that means we get no 'proven coach', then I see no great loss--Green, and Buddy Ryan, were proven coaches...

    Sarver changes mind on luxury tax

    I think JCSunsfan meant Obet Sarve--that last 'r' makes a considerable difference. Now we can see he's a Saudi oil billionaire who should not worry a bit about a luxury tax.

    Langston Moore

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to remember quite a bit of favorable comment about Moore in preseason, in the newspaper and on the board, and of course he was a starting DT at least into the SF game. I'm saying nothing about the Hardy Brown comment--I don't even remember seeing it--but there were...

    Boris Diaw Signs Extension

    This is really great news. Despite some good moves by the Suns for second-team players, this has not been a real positive season in Phoenix--Cards, ASU, Amare on and off. If Boris works on defense he can be an extraordinary player, almost a Magic Johnson playing front-court--and I still...

    The 2006-07 Los Angeles Lakers thread

    Well, I have to disagree. If Lakers sucked, their lakes would disappear, and besides, they're not in good enough shape to suck. They just blow. Their fans, on the other hand, blow hard.

    More on the Ball

    I wonder which is more inconsistent, the leather balls or the wet vs. dry synthetic balls. I'd guess the latter.

    If Charles Dickens

    That's great, but it's very disappointing that no one has mentioned the guillotine for Rowen, or who Madame LaFarge is. Or that Monday's game is too unlikely even for a Dickens novel.

    This town so wants to love the Cards

    AR, this team still sucks till they prove they don't. I agree they did better on Monday, but one game would not be much proof even if they won, and they did in the end find a way to lose, or to say the same thing, screw up. Yes, we benched Warner and Step, so Rackers and Ross took over for...

    Cowboys implosion nearly complete...

    Savor the moments. The Cowpats signing T.O. is like a Lombardi power sweep, inevitable, each piece falling into place.... Next stop: the Raiders?

    Knicks looking to emulate Suns

    I can imagine alternatives to the Suns' specific fast style. Maybe their PGs (whichever of Marbury and Francis can steal the ball from a rebounder) dribbles up the floor fast and always shoots without pause; the rest of the team rushes down, not to the wings, but for rebounding position...

    suggestions

    Surgical Operation 1: Transplant a brain to DG. Surgical Operation 2: Transplant to DG either guts or heart, whichever is missing. Surgical Operation 3: Remove stitches on mouth that hamper DG in talking to players. Perhaps put a stitch or two into media mouth.

    Suns in Cologne, Germany

    I hope you, and the Suns, make a point of going to the Chocolate Museum there. Fascinating, and the free chocolate is good, as is the gift shop.

    Long Article about Green & Cards; IMHO a great read

    Notice that this article is basically a puff piece for Green. It basically quotes him and his entourage. He's the one who didn't draft us an OT this year, who didn't even sign any UDFA OTs or FA OTs, after suffering through last season. Finally, he panicked, and scraped the bottom of the...

    Free U of A Wildcats hat up for grabs

    Nice gesture, but you need to supply more info about it. How big is it? Does it have a flat top? (necessary for effective use as a wastebasket.) Is it watertight? (useful for hauling rotten fruit, as drool-cup, or, as Future1984 plans, for occasional vomit.) If not, is it porous enough to...

    Ignore Amare, is this team better than last?

    If there are no long-term injuries to key players (Nash, Marion, KT, and I'd hope Banks), then I think we are a good bet, maybe odds-on, to do it. Leaving out Amare eats up some bad karma, in my book, so this is not too unrealistic. And after the first 15 games and KT got acclimated, we were...

    Fire Dirk!!!

    Not that I can generalize to NAU, the community colleges, etc., but is this the worst state for football in the USA? They have it down to a science: look really promising, then kick your teeth in.

    Cards Rams Game Thread

    Fitzgerald had two pretty surprising drops, though, before the good TD catch. Boldin's first catch, head-butting two defenders, was amazing.

    Rudy the Goat?

    Well, he was good those few games last year. I think most of his trouble is trying too hard, feeling guilt, wanting to carry the team, and squeeze balls where his arm can't deliver them. We have a running game this year, so Koetter could call a long pass or two early and let the RBs and...

    Reflections on a Train Wreck

    Running the Asylum In general, Brat, I think you're right. But considering the actions and accomplishments of this coaching staff, vs. the actions and stands Edge has taken since he's come here, I would happily give him the title 'Head Coach Deluxe' and let him give Denny 2 orders per week...

    Another Reason for Wanting to Beat the Rams (Badly)

    Well, I have to admit that I have liked the Rams--under Martz, the Suns of the NFL. Those receivers who never age, smart enough to pick up Archuleta and Marshall Faulk, not to mention Warner off the grocery-store shelves.... Now, that being admitted, I don't like their recent history, Little...

    Dockett Delivers on "D"

    Low aspirations That statement in the article bothered me the most. No, the GREAT ones star in EVERY game except when they force a shift by the other team that damages the opponent overall--and I'd say they starred in those games, too. Reggie White did not have two good games and then...

    It's Wednesday, time to quit bitching and move on

    'Move on????' When we flubbed 20 ways and those undeserving mudhens thrashed us?? You boring people with self-control and equianimity are just koolaid drunkards! I plan to keep running spleen and bile thru my system, getting strengthened and energized by hatred every second till about 1:30...

    KT Article/Suns Bringing in Varem

    Hmm.... 7 rebounds per game and 20 mpg means .35 rpm, well ahead of our best rebounders KT and Marion--see George's post on another thread. Of course the leagues are different, but if he could maintain that, he'd be helpful.

    replay ref in OU- Oregon game getting death threats

    I mostly agree with what you say, but it doesn't support the truism you recited in the earlier post. Sure, OK could've performed better, overcome the bad calls, and won. Sure, coaches know that, and know that they have to achieve a definitely superior performance to have any assurance of a...

    replay ref in OU- Oregon game getting death threats

    Fallacious Adage I've seen this saying on this board a lot, and I have to point out that it's simply wrong. Wrong literally, of course--Oregon 'won', but not by overcoming officiating, they won with the help of officiating. The 'losers' blamed the refs, but they are plain right, on the side...
