When the Arizona Cardinals take the field tonight, the team has a chance to do something it hasn’t done in 34 years — win two consecutive division titles. Standing in their way — the lackluster but troublesome San Francisco 49ers. The two teams have met 36 times, with the Niners winning…

Scottsdale’s premiere PGA golf tournament has a new name, and it won’t do much to help the tournament’s unsavory image among golf’s elite.The Phoenix Open — or the FBR Open, as it’s been known since 2004 — is often criticized by the PGA’s most pompous linisters. Many, including the philandering Tiger…
It seems as if the Phoenix Suns are playing only road games this year. Of course, they’ve suited up at US Airways Center a few times, but, indeed, they’ve been away from home a lot thus far: a league-high 15 games out of the first 22 they’ve played, to be…

The Phoenix Coyotes officially have the worst attendance record in the NHL, and Hockey News, or the “Canadian Bible,” as it is referred to in certain circles, is blaming the team for driving down the entire league’s attendance average.The average per-game attendance for the NHL at this time last season was…
When Tim Hightower fumbled on the opening drive of the Cardinals 30-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings last night in Glendale, and the Vikings marched down the field to score with ease, you couldn’t help but to think, “Okay, here comes a classic Brett Favre beat-down.” Fortunately, that was about…
[jump] Phoenix was already considered to be a major underdog going into the match-up with El Lay at the Staples Center, and surviving a battle with a competent Pacific Division foe a couple of nights prior didn’t help their cause. The Lakers made it look easy in the 20-point rout,…
Are the Suns who we thought they were before the season got going? Certainly hope not, but after two blowout losses in as many nights, we’re beginning to wonder. Sure, the 107-90 road loss last night to one of the top teams in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers, wasn’t as embarrassing as…
Florida Governor Charlie Crist met with Chicago Cubs president Crane Kenney, chairman Tom Ricketts, and other team officials to try to lure the team away from their spring training home in Mesa and have them set up shop in Naples, Florida. “We like palm trees better than cactus, and hope that…
A red-hot Suns team that’s rolled over most every team in its path played one of the NBA’s biggest go-nowhere squads . . . and lost. At 14-3 heading into Tuesday night’s game against the New York Knicks, it sure seemed like a gimme. But a sloppy first quarter full of…
After the Cardinals 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans Sunday, Matt Leinart is officially worthless. Frankly, he’s worth even less than that — Matt Leinart is worth a negative $50 million dollars over six years. Leinart got a chance to step out from behind the clipboard Sunday, after Kurt Warner…
It simply stated, “see u above the rim buddy.” While the Suns superstar may not have made good on the friendly jibe by slam-dunking over the 6-foot-10 power forward during Phoenix’s battle against the Raptors on Sunday at the Air Canada Centre, Nash was plenty busy helping to lift his…
Arizona State University senior linebacker Mike Nixon, the subject of last week’s New Times feature by Steve Jansen, was named a First Team Academic All-District VIII selection by ESPN The Magazine. This is the third time that Nixon has received the honor — a first for a football student-athlete at ASU…
The Memphis Grizzlies aren’t good. Like, not good like the St. Louis Rams. Crappy like the Phoenix Coyotes. Sucky like your sister-in-law’s Thanksgiving cranberry sauce. Thus far this season, the 2009-10 Grizzlies, led by second-year and second-stint head coach Lionel Hollins, are 5-9, which includes a 1-6 mark on the…
