PHOENIX – The Arizona Cardinals, like many other NFL teams around the league, will be pressed to quickly fill holes on their roster when the lockout is lifted. The lockout could be over in mid-July leaving teams with only two weeks of free agency and trades. For the Cardinals, it’s obvious finding a new starting […]
Will Lon Babby, Lance Blanks and the Phoenix Suns do their best Monty Hall impersonation before next week’s draft and make a deal? One person sure seems to think so. Mickael Pietrus’ agent, Bill McCandless, told the Arizona Republic’s Paul Coro Tuesday that he has a sneaking suspicion changes are coming to the Suns’ roster. […]
The Phoenix Suns may want to keep Steve Nash in purple and orange for the remainder of his career, but does he want to stay in the Valley? We don’t know exactly. What we do know is just how long Nash envisions said career lasting. In an interview with AM New York, Nash laid out […]

Under intangibles in the Arizona Cardinals’ draft report on Texas linebacker Sam Acho had to be the words: “All around great guy”.

You can’t read about the Diamondbacks’ farm system without seeing the name Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt, currently tearing up the Double-A level with Mobile, has hit 21 home runs while carrying a .348 batting average.

Sources have confirmed to ArizonaSports.com that Larry Fitzgerald will be on the field this July. Too bad it will be of the softball variety and not the football one.

The Phoenix Suns may identify the guy they want, but waiting for him to fall to 13 may be a bad idea. So, the only other option would be trading up. That would not be a good idea, according to Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug Franz, if player they covet is Jimmer Fredette. “I look at […]
Don’t get to used to the idea of the designated hitter, the New York Yankees and the rest of what comes along with American League baseball making regular appearances at Chase Field.

A June series against the top team in the division, especially when you’re only a half-game behind, carries a little more importance than any other throughout the month.

A hockey team making a minor change to their coaching staff in the middle of June is like the plain looking girl in high school, it doesn’t exactly garner a lot of attention.

Safeties are asked to read offenses, blitz quarterbacks, cover receivers and occasionally stop the […]
While the 82nd Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be thrilling to Arizonans regardless of who is playing, the game will certainly be more exciting if there are more Diamondbacks on the roster.
