Even when theyÆre winning, it can be hard to be a Cardinals fan. Ok, so my prognostication of the Cards squeezing their way to the No. 2 seed is unfolding exactly is it has to. So far anyway. But can it last? Can the Cardinals do what they need to do, and all the other chips fall in the right place, for them to actually pull it off? ...

Cards Business-like Pounding of Rams Produces Several Milestones Admit it, Cardinals fan, that as the seconds ticked off at the end of the first quarter, you were a little anxious. This wasnÆt what you expected (or I predicted). The cardinals and the Rams were having an old fashioned defensive struggle. It was the æ85 Bears vs the 2000 Ravens! Or not. But just as you were wondering if this team is ...

Last weekÆs game in Detroit proved several long time NFL adages. One being, æOn any given Sunday'. The Loins showed in the 3rd quarter that even the weakest dog (cat?) can jump up and bite you. Yes, the Big Red came home with a æWÆ, but they did so sweating it out late in the game for what amounts to two breakdowns in the 3rd quarter. As a ...

Face it, Cardinals faithful. There are some ways, not many, but some, that theyÆre still the same old Cardinals. Since I was among the first to suggest that theyÆre ôa very good, solid football teamö, I should be among the first to say that what I said before was decidedly premature. In non-media spin, that means I was wrong. WRONG! The big W! OK, let it ...

For years, even decades, be they in Chicago, St. Louis, or Arizona, Cardinals fans have had to suffer through some extremely lousy football. This is no newsflash, I know. But bear with me here. Over the years, there had been a veritable plethora of 'reasons whyÆ offered, suggested, ascribed and/or screamed from masses, both in media and fans alike. Some of those reasons ...

Oh boy, it looks like someone's staying after school. Or spending a few days in detention. Or maybe even getting shipped off to some far-away military school! It seems our gridiron heroes tricked us, and lead us to believe they had it together, and after the stomping of the previously un-stomped Minnesota Vikings, lead us to believe that they were a disciplined bunch. I'm not sure at this ...

The way the pundits, the "experts," were talking all week, the Minnesota Vikings could just mail this one in. Sure, once the Cardinals/Vikings game was flexed as the weekÆs marquee game, the obvious Favre vs. Warner hype became inevitable. But the talk of this actually being a hard-fought battle between two NFC powerhouses never appeared (unless you happened to read it here). There was an air of inevitability at ...

The statistics are startling. When you combine the quarterback stats of Brett Favre, a certain Hall of Famer who could have retired over two years ago (before the sea-saw unretire/retire charade), and Kurt Warner, a certain Hall of Famer who became one in the last 2 years, it nearly boggles even the most sophisticated football mind. Chances are very good that together, before their Sunday Night Football ...

CARDINALS - TITANS REPORT CARD It was a crushing defeat! It was the kind of defeat that gnaws at you ..eats at you. What happened today in the shadows of Graceland will be tough to get over. It takes time to recover from a loss like this. Who knows how long it will take? ..or what toll it will take? I'm referring to the Cardinals faithful, of course. The team will fly ...
