Latest blog entries from Phoenix teams across every league
Given the absurdity of the contest and the number of whistles, it was a given that the Last Two Minute report for Sunday’s Lakers-Suns game would include some errors. It was also a given that it would heavily include Dillon Brooks. Both turned out to be true. The league admitted two mistakes in the report, […]
The movement on the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff has begun, and it starts with one of their new hires, as Winston DeLattiboudere has decided to go back to the collegiate ranks as he will go be a defensive line coach with the Michigan State Spartans. The Arizona Cardinals defensive line has been underwhelming this year, […]
Per Houston Texans’ head coach Demeco Ryans, stud defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. suffered a pectoral injury in yesterday’s victory against the Arizona Cardinals. This will be a solid test for the culture of Ryans’ defense. The “next man up”, whether that’s Naquan Jones, Junior Tafuna, Marlon Davidson or someone else, will need to hit […]
Dan Quinn spoke to reporters for “Tell the Truth Monday”. It was reported that Jayden Daniels was getting shut down for the season, and Quinn confirmed those reports at the start of his presser. Quinn said that Daniels isn’t cleared for contact, and there is a short week, then another quick turnaround for the Christmas […]
Jonathan Gannon. If there was any one game that signaled to the world the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles were in the midst of a collapse the likes of which few NFL teams had ever seen, it was Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals at Lincoln Financial Field. The Cards limped into Philly with a 3-12 record […]
Merrill Kelly signing reaction [SI] Why Merrill Kelly Signing was a Necessary Risk for Diamondbacks – Kelly does provide what Arizona needs more than anything — reliable innings coverage. While health isn’t a complete guarantee, Kelly generally is able to deliver five-plus innings each and every start. 2024 is the only season in recent history […]
This is how bad things have gotten for the Arizona Cardinals. At 3-11, with three games remaining, they are at home against another miserable team, the Atlanta Falcons, and are home underdogs. That’s right. The Cardinals opened as 1.5-point underdogs ahead of their last home game, a matchup where the Falcons at 5-9 are still […]
Good morning.
Yes, I know. This is a Colorado Rockies website. However, I’m here today to talk about the Denver Nuggets, the Phoenix Suns, and the importance of team chemistry. In 2023, the Nuggets finally won their first-ever NBA Championship. And they did so without any big-name superstars. Yes, the roster is filled with superstars – namely, […]
The Arizona Cardinals gained some ground in their latest loss, as they are now sitting with the sixth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Updated NFL Draft order The playoff teams will sort themselves out, but this is an interesting thing. The Cardinals could win their next two games, as both the Falcons and even […]
By hook or by crook, Dillon Brooks was going to make LeBron James acknowledge him in Sunday’s game between the Lakers and Suns. Consider it mission accomplished unsuccessfully. In the most Dillon Brooks sequence imaginable, a game-winner turned into an ejection that eventually led to a Lakers win. It also included multiple altercations between the […]
It wasn’t a pretty win, but the Lakers were able to come out on top against the Suns on the road. At one point, LA led by as many as 20 points, but almost blew it in the fourth with silly fouls, bad turnovers and poor overall shooting. However, some clutch free throws from Marcus […]
In one of the most bonkers games of the season, the Lakers survived a wild ending against the Suns to earn a 116-114 win on Sunday. Dillon Brooks hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with roughly 12 seconds remaining, but immediately got himself ejected. LeBron James made it interesting late as he missed the technical, but was […]
Pitching was a big reason why Arizona made it back to the College World Series last season. The return of many key arms for 2026 makes it likely the Wildcats will again have a stellar staff. Who guides those pitchers, however, is uncertain. Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star is reporting that pitching coach […]
Adrian Del Castillo was coming into the 2025 season with the glow of a successful 2024 behind him. Clayton accurately identified his defense as an issue in that review, but he and all other parties agreed that the bat could play at the major league level. The question would be come, could it overcome the […]
In one of the less surprising free-agent signings of the winter, Merrill Kelly has returned to the desert, signing a two-year contract with the Diamondbacks, for a reported $40 million. It’s a deal which both sides had clearly been keen on pursuing, even before Kelly was dealt to the Texas Rangers at the deadline. The […]
The Texans have had a lot of different types of games this season. They’ve had the low-scoring thrillers, improbable comebacks, and they’ve had surprise upset performances. But, one thing that eluded the a Texans for the majority of this year was having a complete game. A game where you left feeling good about the offense, […]
The Arizona Cardinals have Trey McBride. Everyone else doesn’t seem to be playing at that level, although you can show some excitement about Walter Nolen, it would just be nice to see him healthy week in and week out. However, the Arizona Cardinals are just a bad football team with one elite player in McBride […]
Arizona Cardinals kick returner Andre Baccellia will not return to the game versus the Houston Texans. He was taken off the field on a cart with 1:46 left before halftime. Baccellia took the kickoff after Texans’ kicker Kai Fairbairn had converted on a 22-yard field to advance the lead to 23-7. Baccellia took the kick […]
Of all the seasons in Diamondbacks’ history, this was certainly one of them. Given the mediocrity of the final record, I think it’s surprising how many of the games might stick around – just not for the right reasons. We score ten runs in an inning! And lose… A player hits four home-runs in a […]
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. This week, the Texans have a far less daunting challenge ahead of them than they did last week. It’s the Arizona Cardinals who have had a terrible season, coming in without Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison, Jr., and several of their starters. That’s the good news. […]
I am genuinely curious if anyone sees the Arizona Cardinals having a chance in this one. The Cardinals are big time underdogs heading into their matchup with the Houston Texans, and there are serious questions on if they can survive this week. With the Texans defense, it could be a miserable day at the office […]
Multiple sources this morning are reporting that the Diamondbacks have re-signed starting pitcher Merrill Kelly to a two-year deal. The cost is apparently $40 million, which is both higher than expected, and also seems more than the D-backs were generally expected to be spending. It’s a return to Arizona for Kelly, of course. He came […]
In case you missed the early morning news, the Arizona Diamondbacks have pulled off the rare “trade away your player and re-sign him in the offseason” move with Merrill Kelly. Let’s start there today. When the Diamondbacks traded Kelly to the Rangers this July, they landed Kohl Drake (#6 prospect in the D-Backs system), Mitch Bratt (#9), and David Hagaman (#15), a tidy sum for a 36-year-old rental starter. And now they get him back, albeit at a very substantial $20M per year for tw...
