Of course, that sense of doom regarding the 2010-11 season that pervaded Suns Nation after the team’s Tuesday’s opening-night drubbing in Portland was a bit premature. On Thursday, the Phoenix Suns bounced back to beat the Utah Jazz handily, 110-94, in Salt Lake City. Sure, one sort-of upset doesn’t mean…
Phoenix Coyotes goalie Ilyov Bryzgalov stopped 43 shots during the team’s 4-2 win over the Red Wings in Detroit last night. For the non-hockey-fans out there, 43 shots is a lot.”It keeps you in the game all the time, the whole game,” Bryzgalov said after the game. “But don’t need…
It’s hockey season again in the Valley, and despite the almost-miraculous conclusion to last season, the Phoenix Coyotes aren’t off to a great start.The Coyotes are now 2-3-3 on the season, which includes last night’s 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators.The Senators dominated the first period with 20 shots on…
With Amar’e Stoudemire playing for the New York Knicks this season, the big question was: How will new acquisition Hedo Turkoglu fare as the Phoenix Suns’ new, star power forward? Can he be anywhere near the impact player that Stoudemire was for the team? Based on last night’s performance against the Trail Blazers in Portland, he…
Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Max Hall went undrafted in the 2010 NFL draft, and we saw why during the Cards’ 22-10 loss to the Seahawks yesterday in Seattle.Hall was atrocious.Going 4 for 16, with an interception and no touchdowns, Hall deserved the 13.5 passer rating he earned for the game.”I…
The Arizona Cardinals have gotten off to a miserable start this season but it wouldn’t be evident from looking at the team’s record, which, astoundingly, has them tied for first place in the NFC West with the very team they play this Sunday: the Seattle Seahawks.The Cards are 3-2 on…

To paraphrase the late great T.S. Elliot, this is the way the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 2010 season, not with a bang but a whimper. The sucktastic Snakes closed out their year by losing two out of three games to the Los Angeles Dodgers during the final weekend of play. Sunday’s 3-1…

The Arizona Cardinals are coming off their third awful game of the season, which is bad news considering there have only been three games.Quarterback Derek Anderson’s received the brunt of the blame because, frankly, he’s played terribly.Anderson misses receivers, holds on to the ball too long in the pocket, and…
