    The Crowd At The Stadium

    Becoming a fan because the team wins is not organic. It's fair weather. Yes, I recognize that for some people, who they root for depends on whether or not the team wins. Those people are unworthy of my consideration. I have a more precise way of wording that, but I suspect filters on this site...

    The Crowd At The Stadium

    First, the side of town doesn't matter. The team actually studied the issue before allowing the location. And remember, they wanted it in Tempe, but hair on fire idiots from the Phoenix City Council yelled "people will die!" and it didn't happen. Fact of the matter is, the number of people who...

    How many games will Cardinals win?

    Color me stupid (I am every year). I'll say 12-4 (losses to San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans and, well, someone else)!

    Whiz had to know...

    2011 Game 1 (Panthers): Back and forth, Cards prevail 28-21. Kolb looks great, but the media is in love with Cam Newton Game 2 (Redskins): Cards lead 14-10 in the 3rd. After a field goal makes it 14-13, Cards extend the lead to 21-13 in the 4th with the clock winding down. Defense caves and...

    Whiz had to know...

    Maybe I've been watching a different team. Last year I saw Kolb leading the team to double digit leads only to have the defense give it away. Then I watched Skelton spend his time underplaying the competition only to come back to tie and win in overtime. Often those wins came thanks to defense...

    Kolb fans?

    I keep feeling 2010 when everyone was ragging on Leinart. When Matt got cut in favor of DA, fans were cheering the move. This just feels too much like the same. Yes, Skelton had a lot of comebacks, but Kolb suffered a lot of letdowns on defense. I just see Skelton being the QB who successfully...

    Cardinals could sue Glendale over loss of parking

    That article points out an interesting aspect and one that should solve the problem. When the Bidwill family asked to rezone, it was with the promise of providing parking garages to replace any displaced spaces. Why doesn't the City of Glendale just do the same?

    Cardinals could sue Glendale over loss of parking

    Quick: How much did the City of Glendale pay toward the stadium? Answer: $9.5MM. The Cardinals paid more than 15 times as much, and yet it's owned by the Arizona Tourism and Sports Authority (who paid nearly 2/3 of the total cost), not the Arizona Cardinals. And what the City of Glendale is...

    Longest time as Cardinal fan

    Oh, golly, did I ever hate the Cardinals in the '70s. I grew up in Dallas, and as any Dallas native will tell you, loving the Cowboys was compulsory. But even worse, when new neighbors (great people, by the way) moved in from St. Louis, they were talking trash about their Cardinals a lot. And it...

    Ticket Renewal Thread

    For the 19th time out of a possible 25, I'm in. I can't yet imagine what it would take to get me to stop renewing. I mean, if Buddy Ryan couldn't stop me, what could?

    Pro Bowl: If This Is How They're Going To Play It, Then Do Away With It

    Close. Punt, Pass and Kick is the competition for kids that they still do every year. I believe you're thinking about The Superstars which included competitors from other sports, but would often have special editions with NFL players only. They often did specials with multiple players from each...

    Jake Skelton

    Wow! All this bending over backward with love for Skelton but no similar understanding for Kolb who never had an off season with us. Losing early in the season was more on the defense. After the game, I thought that at least we could put to bed all this Skelton talk. Apparently not.

    Two safeties in one game...

    First time for safeties on consecutive plays since Kordell Stewart in 1999 against Jacksonville. As to the four points in a quarter thing, it's the first time for exactly four points (two safeties and nothing else).

    NFL Owners in court: Expect Lockout to be at least a year.

    They are a trade association. They can negotiate, but they have no power to commit to any terms unless they first recertify. In the mean time, they are to the players what the AARP is to retired people.

    Seriously... What are the odds?

    Seriously... What are the odds?

    Tired of that argument. If a 10-6 team doesn't make the playoffs, they weren't the best team in their division. They weren't the best team that didn't win a division. They weren't even the second best team that didn't win a division. The whole point of the wild card is to make sure that teams...

    2010 Worst Coaching Decision

    Gonna have to call you on that one. It wasn't even the worst move of the last two years. And as a fan since 1974, surely you realize it wasn't a good plan to change the locks and kick out Don Coryell. So yes, I sure wish Leinart was around, but even more, I wish Clancy Pendergast was around.

    What He Said

    In today's TMQ, Gregg Easterbrook writes, That was a tough game to walk out of the stadium from.

    Question: Is this the longest we've ever been in 1st place??

    While an interesting thing to say, that oddity falls short of the even more odd of Super Bowl history. There was a similar ten year run from 1970-1979 with Minnesota, Dallas and Miami. And thanks to the frustration of one particular team, there was a seven year run from 1989-1995 that had just...

    OT: Bush Forfeits Heisman

    You know, if he hadn't taken those gifts, he would never have gained a yard in college.

    2010 Prediction Thread.. Get them in now so you can be laughed at later!

    It's as pessimistic as I can be. 14-2 (Atlanta and Minnesota). Cards win the Super Bowl, of course. DA turns out to be a hot quarterback when paired with the Whis, and Timmy, fearing for his job, turns into a hot commodity and frustrating Wells in the very year he was supposed to take over. The...

    Best ever all-around Cardinal player

    Not in my lifetime, but Paddy Driscoll made the Cardinals a winning machine. Dumping him put them into a 20 year drought.

    OT: Dallas game.....

    I have two season tickets. I find family members and friends for my second ticket to every game. When the schedule was announced, my father told me he'd like to go with me. Then my daughter called to offer to accompany me. Then my brother in San Antonio called to tell me he was thinking about...

    Bandwagon clearing? Game not sold out

    Okay, how about another reminder of last year? Last year, it wasn't only the Cardinals who needed an extension for playoff ticket sales. Minnesota needed an extension for their game against Philadelphia. It happens. Local Packers fans just got done shelling out big bucks to go to a meaningly...
