    The Mount Rushmore of NFL Head Coaches

    And nowhere in the list do you find Tom Landry? Set me down in the '60s and '70s with a choice between Landry and Noll, and I'd pick Landry for sure.

    DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers

    Yep, that's what we're talking about. And inspired by this thread, I called and got Sunday Ticket with the SuperFan thrown in for free.

    DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers

    If you're an existing DirecTV customer, they will often upgrade you for free or for no more than about $100 (including installation of a new dish). If you're new to DirectTV, getting the shebang (HD and DVR) shouldn't be too pricey, and retailers are constantly putting out offers (the big box...

    DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers

    Samsung had a DirecTV receiver with TiVo? But to your point: I've had the HR-20 for some time now and have had the DirecTV with TiVo (manufactured by Hughes) both since they were first available in Phoenix. The bugs in the HR-20 have pretty much disappeared for me. It doesn't miss programs...

    OT (Sort Of): Venting About StubHub

    Okay, I used their service, and I'm glad there's something there for this purpose, and my economics teacher always said that in every transaction, both parties always come out ahead since if they didn't, the transaction would not take place. That said, I've assisted a friend who purchased...

    DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers

    All of the new HD channels being added require the 5LNB dish which is just a bit larger than the old 3LNB dish. As to cost, if you've been a DirecTV customer for years, call them up. They might just be willing to do the work for free.

    Cards Wiki project

    I have enough knowledge to be dangerous, but I'm looking forward to the people who really know the history to flesh out the sections.

    Billiard Cloth

    So it finally arrived. It turned out that the truth was still eluding me. I contacted the manufacturer who told me that it had shipped a week earlier. I tracked it only to find it had been delivered last Thursday but to the wrong address (my sales person's fault). I have it now, and it wasn't...

    CBS to upgrade to HD NFL Broadcast for all games...in 2008

    In 2008? Give me a break. Fox, who resisted HD long after CBS embraced it, does virtually every game in HD (except the occasional Arizona or Minnesota game), and they still need another year to ramp up?

    Billiard Cloth

    By the way, does anyone here have that cloth already?

    Billiard Cloth

    I was really worried about the play due to the logo, not because I worried that the dye process would cause any problems (I figured that would be the first problem to overcome before bringing it to market), but because any cloth must be stretched when put onto the table. So either you risk...

    Billiard Cloth

    I'm getting a new pool table and am leaning heavily toward the Arizona Cardinals cloth on top (normal table, just red cloth with logo at center). I did some comparison shopping. Remember, all three of these are exactly the same product being shipped directly from the factory: $359.99...

    Cards MNF Article

    We're a year into the "Monday Night is the new Sunday Night" era, yet writers like this still seem to heap prestige on the Monday game. Last year's late game was played in Oakland. How special was that!

    Cardinals Fight Song????

    Wow, that's too bad. I grew up in Dallas, and some of my fondest memories are of Ray prowling the stands with that faucet sticking out of his hat. You sure couldn't miss him. As to songs, I'd sure like to see someone write a better song. It doesn't even need to be a "fight song" so much as a...

    Ready to take a small Wonderlic Test?

    160 seconds, and Ken, you say you did all 12 in that time (without a calculator, I assume) and had no trouble with 9 or 10? I'm questioning your stopwatch. :rolleyes:

    The best half time show in years!

    Loved the halftime show. I've been to one Super Bowl, XXII in San Diego in '88. We were treated to Chubby Checker and 88 pianists. Worst halftime show ever.

    Season Ticket Holder Issue - What would you do?

    I agree that wins would make the games sweeter, but on the expectation that winning would weed these people out, you're exactly wrong. The people who own these seats don't really care about the games so much as their potential to be money making propositions. As such, success on the Cardinals...

    Season Ticket Holder Issue - What would you do?

    I hear you. The four seats to my left were regularly filled with out of town fans for the same reason. That said, I console myself by knowing that the vast majority of people in the stadium are still wearing red, and no matter what, our visitors are spending premium money for those seats. In...

    DirecTV?

    $229 for the year. Want it in high def? That's just $99 more. Attending games eight weeks out of the year? That leaves the remaining nine weeks costing you only $36 per week. They've priced me out of their market. Even if I was watching every week, $19.29 per week for out of market games is...

    Head Coach Candidates Interview Schedule Thread

    Right. Sounds like wisdom for the ages until it's analyzed. And of course, the Texans have done nothing but improve year by year. Other corallary: is he saying that Lamar Hunt was inferior to Art Modell?

    The big question for next Sundays game.

    But of course, the real answers just weren't there. Option 5 should be 2 days (who gets fired on a holiday?) or 4 days: as we all know, the Cardinals make announcements on Thursday.

    The Official "Let's see SF win the Division" thread

    Okay, feel my wrath. What kind of fan is ever okay with a loss? When beating Minnesota in 2003 meant a lower draft pick, it was still the right thing to do because it was just so sweet to see the disappointment on the faces of the "visiting" fans. As to "physically excited," I'm a little...

    MNF: rule question

    I still think Tirico (and the referee) got it wrong. If the hand was pushing the ball forward, and it truly was a forward pass, the ball would have left his hand moving forward. It did not. Either Grossman never controlled the path of the ball, and it was strictly a fumble, or Grossman caused...

    2nd place in the NFC West

    On the home game front, we'll be playing a team from the NFC North, so we're talking Minnesota instead of Detroit. On the road, we'll play a team from the NFC East , so we're talking New York or Philadelphia instead of Washington. We're already guaranteed to have home games against Atlanta...

    MNF: rule question

    If you watched the replay closely, Grossman was forward of the 30 yard line when he let go of the ball, and the ball fell behind the 30 yard line. This was a backward pass. I'd like to know the rule Tirico was talking about that makes it incomplete.
