How on earth do you throw this flag on Skattebo If you are a referee with any common sense? I thought this was football.

The Arizona Cardinals with 5 penalties already in this first quarter. None more damaging than that defensive holding call on 3rd and 8. No chance to win if they can’t get this cleaned up quickly.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams in the postgame interview sporting the Paly sweatshirt with the movie poster for “Diva”, a 1981 French thriller directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix, is pretty cool.

“Phoenix, we have a rebounding problem.” In addition, the Suns are just plain getting outworked by a seriously undermanned Warriors squad.

ABC’s timing was not the best when they decided to go for a crowd shot after Texas A&M got a big interception vs Alabama.

The Sun Devil defense has zero ability to apply pressure on an opposing quarterback. Needless to say that doesn’t bode well for… Well, anything.

Every single Arizona Cardinals fan right now.

Arizona State getting run over by Baylor is just a reminder of how Phoenix area sports is a house of horrors for fans. Every 10 years or so there’s a team that does “decent” but it’s really just enough to keep the hook in our mouths before we are gutted & fried over the pain fire

As a LONG suffering AZ Cardinals fan it’s hard to put into perspective how good (and unlikely) a win this was vs the Chargers today. Pretty much every media outlet predicted 3 wins or less for AZ this year. It’s only one game, but this offense looks legitimately dangerous and the defense plays hard. Road wins against teams that made the playoffs are rare indeed for this organization.

Wow! Talk about a comprehensive overview of Sun Devil football going into the 2026 season! It won’t get any deeper than this, so I highly recommend all ASU fans dive in. Great job Brad!

New name for our local MLB team. The Arizona Anemic-Backs

Tour of Italy Through the Wine Glass Presented by Classico Wines. californiawinesandwineries.c… This was a really fun event and we were lucky enough to have Michael Kelly there to recap the lineup in his blog.

The most AZ Cardinals pre-season game ever… The only team on the planet that can somehow get you miffed over a meaningless game.

This is just really cool! Very proud of my University.

One of the best ways to determine if you have arrived in the Phoenix Metro area is to check any local sports box score. If it’s a loss -especially of the painful late game variety- you’ve almost certainly entered the Valley of the Sun.

So yeah… This just happened at Virtu Honest Craft! Chef Gio is currently doing a “Burger at the Bar” series where every Wednesday he offers up a different burger. This Wednesday was a Double smash cheddar burger, Dr Pepper braised short rib, shaved white onion, pickles, & seasoned wedge fries, all paired with a Warsteiner German Pilsner! Limited to 12 burgers every Wednesday. Pretty darn incredible!

And not a single attempt to foul bait. Just raw aggression and skill. This is why players like Jordan, Barkley, Magic, and Kobe are so revered while some of the stars of today are looked at with disdain. The league has gone soft.

One of the more painful times for me as a Phoenix Suns fan. When Charles Barkley came to Phoenix the entire state was in a frenzy to have a super-star player of Chuck’s caliber. And the crazy part is, the man actually over delivered. Other than not getting Phoenix a title, Charles was one of the most talented players I ever saw. When he left for Houston it was a shot in the gut. But Charles still managed to be almost universally loved in this city after his departure. There’s a very small sample size of players who could claim the same.
