    2008 Week 4 Arizona Local Game Listings

    For me, Christmas morning comes every Sunday during football season. I set my alarm to wake me up, but I can't stay asleep. It's a football day. What time is it? 6:00? Hmmm, gonna have to kill some time until the pregame shows start. So I'm 44 years old now. When does the newness wear off?

    Fox Sports: Seven biggest NFL games of Week 3

    I'm not impressed. Wanna know the game that's just slightly better? Rams at Seahawks! Oooh! Which team underwhelms the other more to keep their record perfect?

    Of course not! Keep them here where I'll notice them.

    What's with the fascination with Power Rankings?

    What's with this insistence on talking about your favorite team in a bulletin board on the Internet? It's not as if the team is reading along and taking notes. I just don't get it!

    question for AZ natives

    I've posted before about growing up in Dallas as a diehard Cowboys fan and curiously a Cardinals hater since one of my best friends was a Cardinals fan, it was the '70s, and St. Louis would always make Dallas wear their unlucky blue uniforms. When the Cardinals moved to town, I changed. It's...

    Review Question

    Your original guess is correct. While instant replay can result in a change in the spot of the ball, for timeout and success purposes, it must result in a reversal of first down status (there is also the case where a replay indicates a failure to achieve a first down). This differs from the down...

    NFL Sunday ticket questions

    Notably, among NFC teams (since CBS makes all AFC teams have lower counts than NFC), the Cardinals have had the fewest games in HD with 43 appearances. In 15th Place: Carolina with 54.

    NFL Sunday ticket questions

    You are correct. It is 2009 that all games are required to be in HD, but ESPN, NFLN and NBC have been doing all games in HD for some time, and Fox and CBS have already promised to do every game that way. The only possible HD glitch would be CBS: CBS...

    NFL Sunday ticket questions

    Starting this year, all NFL games are required to be presented in HD. To that end, DirecTV has moved the HD broadcasts to MPEG4 channels to make room for the bandwidth. There should be no game this year available in SD only whether part of the Sunday Ticket package or otherwise.

    "Truly bad Arizona Cardinals..."

    You know, in the wake of the game, I explained to friends that 1) it's preseason, and 2) the Raiders are dreadful. I just find it humorous that a reporter for the Raiders can seriously write that any other team is "truly bad." Maybe describing the Raiders as dreadful has been overly complimentary.

    Cardinals' All-Time Franchise Player

    That list ignores the team's early history, but that's understandable since most, if not all, of us were not alive to see the exploits of Chris O'Brien in the team's formative years, but he was such an impact player, he made the team good enough to rise above being just a local sporting oddity...

    Is the game tonight on 3 or ESPN?

    Both channels will be carrying the game in HD. Channel 3 is currently working on sound issues, but that's really just a difference between flavors of Dolby. Always nice to support the local guys when you can. http://www.landlpcservices.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=54&start=328

    NFL robbing fans with PSLs

    In 1971, the Dallas Cowboys moved into Texas Stadium. Through the '70s, if you wanted season tickets, you had to purchase a stadium bond first. I keep trying to be upset at having to pay nearly $1000 for a single season in my one and only seat, but I always get drawn back to the reality which...

    Doing my part: Adventures in Pottsville

    Of course, in reality, no championship award was made after the 1925 season since Pottsville had been punished and Chris O'Brien agreed that it was in dispute anyhow. It is merely a meeting minutes entry after the season was completed. That said, Pottsville broke the rules. They did so after...

    Why We Should Always Wear the Colors

    I'm in the drive through lane at the McDonald's in Surprise (Waddell & Litchfield) when the car in back of me flashes his lights and gives me the thumbs up. I wondered what was wrong with my car until I remembered that my vanity plate reads, "CRDINLS." I smiled and sent back a thumbs up.

    when can we start predictions?

    There won't be a single game I start watching this year expecting a defeat, so to use my pregame expectations, they will go 19-0. Being as pessimistic as I am capable of being, I'll go with 14-2 (Seattle and New England). But with the swing into the Super Bowl that follows, they finish 17-2...

    Nothing says "I'm content" like a quiet ASFN Cardinals board

    I try. Really I do. But I hate watching college football, so I don't know any of the players. And frankly, with as many players as we see every single year coming from obscurity to stardom in the NFL, I just don't put much stock in the draft as an indicator of success. I've been a fan since...

    The non-all time Cards team

    I missed Jay Novacek...and Ottis Anderson sure did go on to bigger and better things. But this is not a new thing. In the early days of the NFL, Paddy Driscoll made his name as a Cardinal, but when Chris O'Brien felt the economic pinch, he let his star go. And Pat Summerall was a fine...

    Top 50 Draft steals since 1967

    Rayfield Wright in 1992? Pretty good trick getting drafted 13 years after he retired.

    The long reaching effects of the Cards stadium

    You need to tell the vendor that you are a Maricopa County resident and get those taxes back. Frankly, your gripe isn't with the law, it's with the vendor who doesn't want to keep track of where the customer lives so they can calculate the taxes correctly. I've had to repair my car, and I...

    Preseason Schedule

    I seem to recall a preseason victory over the Bears in week three of 2006. It let us know who the Bears were, so to speak.

    Matt Leinart's Personal Life Merge Thread

    In 1965, Joe Namath completed fewer than 50% of his passes and had only 18 TDs to 15 Ints in a year when his team went 5-8-1. In 1966, Joe Namath completed fewer than 50% of his passes and had only 19 TDs to 27 Ints in a year when his team went 6-6-2. I'm not saying Leinart has done better (he...

    Faded/Outdated/Not Licensed Cards gear, what do you think

    I buy a new jersey every year, and each year I wear only players who are still with the team. The last three years have seen Boldin, Fitzgerald and James added to the collection. I think I'll go with Wilson this year. But knockoffs on eBay are not cool with me. I don't mind if they look real...
