The Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers played a magical playoff game Sunday afternoon at the University of Phoenix Stadium. The Red Birds 51-45 overtime victory over the Cheeseheads did not fit the mold with the rest of a rather non-descript Wild Card Weekend. Trend Break #1 – In the Wild Card games the Arizona […]
Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas was suspended indefinitely Wednesday by NBA commissioner David Stern. There were two completely different circumstances that involved guns recently, but as usual the public and David Stern overreacted- just as the New York government did in the Plaxico Burress situation. Has David Stern watched an action movie, played a […]

The 2009-10 NBA season is the beginning of the balance of power shifting in the Western Conference. Let me state that this process is not going to happen overnight, but there are three small market teams that are up and coming, with the traditional powers starting to slope downhill (outside of the Los Angeles Lakers, […]

Even though I do not celebrate Christmas (I am Jewish- one of our Tech directors Henry Lopez insists that I need to call my parents and wish them a Merry Xmas, we do not do that) it has become one of my two favorite Holidays. My other favorite holiday is Halloween (free candy and scantily […]

Usually I lead with a national story, but when the Phoenix Suns last five games were @ the Los Angeles Lakers, @ Dallas, vs. Orlando, @ Denver and vs. San Antonio I thought it might be a nice time to do a Suns edition of The Jump. In the five straight measuring stick games Phoenix […]
Allen Iverson will be joining the Philadelphia 76ers for a second stint. The two sides – which will always be intertwined – split ways in an ugly divorce during the 2006 season. The reunion was a logical move because Iverson was desperate for a place to resurrect his career and Philly desperately needed to sell […]

My plan going into this edition of The Jump was to rip Michael Jordan for being a clueless executive (always fun to kill MJ when you get the chance – he ruined my dreams as a Knicks fan countless times). Unfortunately, after doing some research and seeing how the team is set up for the […]

Former New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Herman Edwards said “You play to win the game,” a mantra he never followed (I am a salty Jets fan who has deep-rooted resentment towards Edwards-story for another article). In front of the entire nation on Sunday night Bill Belichick abided by that statement. Belichick’s […]
I have to start off with the Allen Iverson saga out in Memphis. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put Allen Iverson on the Memphis Grizzlies needs to have their head examined. By the sounds of everything I have read on the Internet at the time and what has been said after all […]

The Arizona Cardinals are at the half way point of their 2009-10 campaign and they are the toughest team in the entire NFL to get a good read on. This week they demolished the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field 41-21. Quarterback Kurt Warner looked like an MVP candidate, Larry Fitzgerald played like the best wide […]
Watch out for the Oklahoma City Thunder. I’m not usually a fan of moral victories, but watching OKC go toe to toe with the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers was impressive. The Thunder eventually lost in OT 101-98, but this young team was not intimidated by the veteran Lakers. The young Oklahoma City squad still […]
After the Redbirds defeated the New York Giants all that we heard in the Valley last week was how the Arizona Cardinals wanted to be respected nationally. Maybe the Cards should worry a little bit less about whether their highlights are getting shown on ESPN and more about not turning the ball over and tackling […]

Southwest Division San Antonio Spurs Last Season: 54-28 The San Antonio Spurs are loaded. Head Coach Greg Popovich has put a supporting cast around the Big 3 that fits the style he wants to coach and is very talented. It reminds me of how the New England Patriots surrounded Tom Brady with Randy Moss and […]
I was originally going to start the article this week with my concerns on the Collective Bargaining Agreement due to a certain injury that happened Sunday afternoon, but that changed Sunday Night (it will be #1 in the 12 pack).
