What is up with Thanksgiving Day games this year?  All 3 were horribly one-sided.  Although one would expect that with Detroit and Seattle, I was looking forward to a really exciting night game vs. Philly.
Then I remembered that it was on the east coast…where NO west coast team (including Arizona) can win this year for [...]

…The CARDINALS and the EAGLES on Thanksgiving.  (Well, I was mildly humored.)
Anyway, as I will be out of town (in San Diego at the Chargers/Falcons game)….
…In honor of Thanksgiving and the Cardinals…

This was funny too…

Have a safe and happy holiday everyone!!  Go Cardinals!!!

Disappointment, thy name is Cardinals

Cardinals 29, Giants 37
Yeah, 29…odd score….botched PAT.  However, Neil Rackers managed a very respectable 11 points and an interesting 67-yd attempt free kick (unusual…and failed.)
Dang, where to start.  Despite being home, Kurt Warner looked off.  he just didn’t have his usual pocket presence and uber-commanding zing on the ball (perhaps the Giants’ D breathing down [...]

Playing with the big boys now - Week 12 Pre Game Report

Giants (9-1) @ Cardinals (7-3)
I’m going to forego the NFL Network-type analysis for a good-ole highly opinionated blog.  I don’t care if the Giants have only lost one game.  I don’t care that the Giants “shredded” the Ravens’ defense last week.  And I really don’t care about Eli Manning.  What I do care about is [...]

Whew, I was worried they were going to blow that one…

Cardinals 26, Seahawks 20
The Cardinals are a veritable lock to clinch the division…already.  Very nice.
Kurt Warner had another fab game today (32/44, 395 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT) as did Anquan Boldin (13 rec. for 186 yds), Larry Fitzgerald (10 rec. for 151 yds), and J. J. Arrington with 2 TDs.  This is Warner’s 18th consecutive [...]

Week 11 Pre-Game Report - Cardinals (6-3) @ Seahawks (2-7)

Last time these teams met (week 14 last season), Matt Hasselbeck had a fabulous day with 272 yds and 4 TDs as Seattle beat Arizona 42-21.  But that was last year.  Hasselbeck is coming off a back injury and Kurt Warner is having a Pro Bowl/MVP season, while the Cardinals lead the league in points [...]

Cardinals 29, 49ers 24
Holy cow, 20 penalties during this game….unbelievable.  This might be expected if the Broncos were playing the Raiders, but the Cards??
What a game, though, eh?!?  Most MNF games lately have been quite boring, but this was a definite nail biter!
First of all, I want to shout out a big THANKS to Kurt Warner, [...]

Another reason to love Hightower

Whilst watching NFL Total Access this evening, Michael Fabiano divulged that Tim Hightower was his number 1 fantasy sleeper this week vs. the 49ers.  As I was contemplating starting NY’s Brandon Jacobs instead of Hightower (along with ATL’s Michael Turner - which is a no-brainer), I have since come to my senses and will be starting [...]

Cards seek to remain atop the NFC West - Week 10 Pre Game Report

The red hot (5-3) division-leading Cardinals host the troubled (2-6) 49ers Monday night, hoping to extend their lead in the division.  The last time these teams met, week 1 this season, Arizona won 23-13 on Kurt Warner’s 197-yd, 1 TD performance while Edgerrin James rushed for 100 yds.  But the Cardinals’ offense has exploded since week 1.  [...]

Still in 1st Place (and already nearly a lock for the division title) - Week 9 Post Game Report

Cardinals 34, Rams 13
Well, it appears the upstart Rams have stalled much like earlier in the year, thanks to stellar performances by Tim Hightower, Kurt Warner, Jerheme Urban, Anquan Boldin, and the DST.
Hightower, starting in place of Edgerrin James managed 22 carries for 109 yds and a TD, and I was very warmed to see [...]
