Despite being 2-2, the Arizona State football team still has plenty of confidence and belief. But it will take more than that to turn their season around.
With the NFL season upon us, Arizona Sports held its first ever fantasy football draft for a league made up entirely of show hosts – the Fantasy Outsiders.
It took a little more than three months, but investigator Ted Wells finally got around to releasing the findings of his exhaustive report on “Deflategate” — the scandal surrounding the use of under-inflated footballs by quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Wells concluded that Brady probably knew the balls were deflated by Patriots […]
What happened Saturday night at US Airways Center will go down as one of the uglier nights in Phoenix Suns’ history. It was just “one of those games.” The Suns, still very much in contention for one of the Western Conference’s eight playoff spots, stunk up the joint, losing 101-74 to the defending World Champion […]
Back in 2008, the Arizona State Sun Devils, then coached by Dennis Erickson, limped through a 5-7 season and failed to qualify for a bowl game. There’s really only one thing worse than playing in some mid-December bowl game with a corporate sponsor you’ve never heard of — and that, of course, is not playing […]
If you follow the Arizona Cardinals, you may think the sky is falling. The team has lost two games in a row. In Week 12, the Cardinals’ offense struggled to get anything going in a 19-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Last week, it was a full team breakdown in a 29-18 defeat at the […]
If you left your couch to get a snack, yell in frustration or vomit at halftime of the Arizona Cardinals’ 29-18 loss to the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, you missed an interesting comment. FOX NFL analyst Jimmy Johnson suggested the Cardinals may need to look at a very controversial figure in hopes of jump-starting their sputtering […]
Once upon a time, in honor of the Duel in the Desert football game between the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Arizona Wildcats, I’d write an annual poem. I’ve been a little busier in recent years, so this tradition has been sporadic at best. Think leap year, except with rhymes. But how could I […]
There is very little doubt that the Oregon Ducks are superior to the Stanford Cardinal in 2014 in terms of talent. Then again, you could have made that argument in each of the last two seasons as well, but Stanford won each of those meetings between the two teams and went on to win the […]
Remember the flag football scene in Wedding Crashers? After Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson crash the wedding of Senator Cleary’s daughter, they score an invite back to the family compound in Maryland. “Crabcakes and football! That’s what Maryland does,” one of the participants yells in celebration of a touchdown pass. With the way things are […]
The Utes are for real. Even those who were impressed by what Kyle Whittingham’s team had done before Saturday (myself included) were a little wary of what was on the horizon. After blowing a big lead at home to Washington State and then beating UCLA and Oregon State to start Pac-12 play, Utah would have […]
