Arizona Cardinals: They seem to be getting B-pluses for their draft yesterday. I still don’t get the Dominique Rogers-Cromarte thing. The Deion Sanders seal-of-approval is just too much for me to overcome. I wonder if they’ll come to regret not drafting Mendenhall and cutting Edge. We should know around week […]

It didn’t even take a second after Roger Goodell announced the Cards had taken Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie at #16 before the dread had set in. Why? Because Deion Sanders had jumped out of his seat, pumped his fist and yelled “yeah” while the commish was still talking.  Asked why he liked the pick, Prime […]

Conflicting reports out of the desert suggest Cardinals o-line coach Russ Grimm has interviewed with Redskins owner Daniel Snider about his vacant head coach position. ProFootballTalk.com says it’s true. Kent Somers, Cardinals beat reporter for the Arizona Republic, says it’s not.

This story has popped up in a few different places the last day or two.  There’s definitely something to it.
James came to the Cards right as I dove headfirst into my fandom.  The whole time he’s been down there, he’s seemed to be more of a sideshow than anything else.  Like Emmitt Smith before him.  […]

Blazers: Did I mention I picked up a ticket package a few weeks back? I gave a few of the seats away for Christmas and will no doubt be giving a few more out as things come up down the line. 20 games for $100 is a helluva deal. Yesterday’s game […]

So the Cards are in second place in the NFC West. And as things sit this week, they actually occupy the final wild card slot. It’s funny how things seem to work out when you’ve got a competent coaching staff and a decent o-line. The game just sort of plays itself. […]

High School Playoffs: I only caught bits and pieces of The Fan’s coverage on Friday night. I was flipping between that game, the Winter Hawks game, and Don and Mike. I guess Tualatin pulled their game out. How about that. Now they get to play Sheldon, the team that knocked […]

Sorry for the late post today. I worked late last night then was up early this morning. I had to set my alarm! The weekend overall was relaxing. I didn’t eat nearly as much as some would have liked, but whatever. I watched some football and made a couple of […]

Oregon City Pioneers:  Many mocked me this weekend over the loss at Redmond.  There’s no shame in it.  Is Redmond that great?  No.  But neither were the Pioneers.  That they even made the playoffs was an accomplishment.  It’s on now to basketball season.  With Kevin Love out of the league, things should open up for […]
