OK, enough is enough. Time to get real here. Memo to Eric Bledsoe — you need new representation. This Rich Paul is a joke and he is steering you down a slippery slope. I’m sure he told you everything you wanted to hear at the end of the season. I’m sure he told you that […]
It’s not about wins and losses right now for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Memo to the national media who are criticizing Arizona for their actions Tuesday night at Chase Field: The Diamondbacks are out of it. They are not contending for the National League West crown or a Wild Card. They won’t even make it to […]
Look, I am not surprised the Spurs are up 3-1 in this series. I picked them three months ago and said that this was the best Spurs team I had ever seen. I had them winning this series in five games because I believe they are that much better than Miami. But no one could […]
Enough is enough with this clown. It’s time for the Arizona Cardinals to cut Daryl Washington and move on. He has proven to be untrustworthy, extremely selfish and totally incapable of supporting his team or this community. He just screwed his teammates and the Cardinals fans. A team coming off a 10-win season and poised […]
Addison Reed has two blown saves, an ERA of 5.03 and has given up a mind-boggling six home runs in 19.2 innings. But despite calls to the contrary, he needs to remain the closer for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite converting 11 saves in 13 opportunities, Reed hasn’t been great. Almost every appearance is an adventure. […]
There is nothing that pops out of the Cardinals’ draft that wows me, and that’s perfectly fine as long as they ended up with quality football players that can help this team take the next step. Arizona addressed some needs — defensive back, tight end and wide receiver — and they passed on some such […]
He wasn’t worth a first-round pick back at the trade deadline, although in hindsight he may have very well been able to push Phoenix into the playoffs. But now that he is set to be a free agent in July, Pau Gasol is well worth a long hard look by the Suns. One of the […]
The problem with the Arizona Diamondbacks is that there is no easy fix. In many ways they are stuck with what they have: the team general manager Kevin Towers put together. Outside of top prospect Archie Bradley, there is not a lot of help coming from the minor leagues. Towers has traded away six of […]
We had quite a spirited debate about the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday’s edition of Burns and Gambo. It centered around the circumstances Phoenix would be facing if they make the playoffs and if they don’t. I think it’s safe to say the vast majority of us want to see the Suns rewarded for a very […]
OK, let’s get one thing straight here — it’s March 18. The baseball season hasn’t even started. There are still 162 games left to be played. So no, likely losing Patrick Corbin for the season does not mean the season is over for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yes, it sucks. We all get that. Corbin was […]
What I’m about to say has very little to do with the Arizona game. Sure, beating your rival whom happened to be the No. 2 team in the country 69-66 in double overtime helps. But it’s not like Arizona State coach Herb Sendek has never done that before. In fact, he has beaten Arizona a […]
There was a feeling of enjoyment watching Jordan Bachynski set the Pac-12 career record for blocked shots Thursday night in a win over Oregon State at Wells Fargo Arena. Bachynski is not James Harden, Ike Diogu or Eddie House. He is not a Sun Devil superstar destined to play in the NBA. Bachynski has had […]
It’s time for Arizona to join the NHL winter outdoor game party. And hey, Commissioner Bettman, we kind of think you owe us one from losing the All-Star game to the lockout a few years back. Yes, we respect you greatly for dealing with the headaches of the never-ending ownership saga and not sending the […]
Now the question is ‘what’s next?’ Arizona gave it their best shot in landing free agent Japanese pitching sensation Masahiro Tanaka, but came up short. They were willing to go six years on a contract in the vicinity of $20 million per season, but it wasn’t enough. On Tuesday night, Diamondbacks’ brass was informed that […]
It certainly would have been fun to see what the Arizona Cardinals could have done had they made the playoffs. They were playing as good a defense as any team in the NFL, and after winning at Seattle, would have proven a tough out. But Arizona came up short despite winning 10 games, and while […]
This is devastating news for the Phoenix Suns. Just awful. Eric Bledsoe is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus that will require surgery. How this will affect Phoenix going forward is pretty easy to determine. They have played 10 games without him already this season, so we have a large sample size. They are 5-5 […]
I’m really not sure how adding someone who has led the Angels in home runs in each of the last three years, is a proven 30-homer, 100-RBI guy and has three years of control is fitting a square peg in a round hole as Keith Law of ESPN suggested. Sure, Mark Trumbo has holes in […]
He is the career leader in rushing yards (3,919) and touchdowns (49) for Arizona. He had 10 games last season in which he rushed for 100 yards and has a streak going of 14 consecutive games with at least 100 yards on the ground. On Saturday against Oregon, he carried the ball a school-record 48 […]
Jahii Carson put on a show Tuesday night in Las Vegas. It was one of those special performances that won’t be soon forgotten by those who saw it. He scored 26 of his 40 points in the second half and imposed his will on UNLV in a great six-point road win for the Devils. Now […]
It was nice to see the breakout game Michael Floyd had on Sunday against Jacksonville. He had six catches for 193 yards and a touchdown, good enough for the second 100-yard game of his career. And he is on pace to eclipse 1,000 yards this season. There was some debate in the 2012 draft as […]
I love Steve Nash. You know the kind of man crush love that comes when you admire/respect/cherish an athlete the way me and many others in this town feel about the Nash Rambler. One of the fondest memories of my daughter’s childhood was getting to be a ball girl for the Suns and warming up […]
All indications are that even though an extension didn’t get done at the October deadline, Eric Bledsoe wants to stay in Phoenix. Bledsoe has a great opportunity to be a franchise-type player in Phoenix, has the trust of the organization and for the first time since high school is out of the shadows of star […]
This day was coming. It was inevitable. Leading up to the Falcons game, rookie sensation Andre Ellington had been limited with his touches in previous Cardinals games, but the clamor for him to get more opportunities was loud. He averaged eight yards per carry on seven rushes against San Francisco. He averaged 7.4 yards per […]
The most exciting day for the Phoenix Suns over the next year will be June 26th — the day of the 2014 NBA Draft. With the recent trade that sent Marcin Gortat, Shannon Brown, Kendall Marshall and Malcolm Lee to the Washington Wizards for Emeka Okafor and a protected first-round pick, the Suns have a […]
