Sad Day

Cardinals 14 Saints 45

Suns 99 Bobcats 125

Coyotes 6 Wild 4

Diamondbacks got rid of the burden that was Eric Byrnes.

What has the Valley come to?

The Diamondbacks are hoping for one playoff appearance before Brandon Webb becomes a free agent. This year for sure, if the Diamondbacks make the playoffs, their pitching gives them a decent shot.

The Phoenix Coyotes are 5th in their conference. It must suck to be a hockey player. I've heard them mentioned on Bickley & MJ twice. Nobody talks about them. They're doing great and nobody cares.

The Suns got pounded. I didn't see it, but it seems they were out of it from the very beginning. Earl Clark played 21 minutes. Those are Big Boy minutes.

The Cardinals got pounded. I wish Larry Legend hadn't fumbled the football last week against the Packers. If he hadn't, I would feel no shame or remorse ripping into Jerheme Urban. His fumble is what changed that game. The Cardinals scored a touchdown on their first play. Jerheme Urban caught the ball and was running for a big gain on their second play when he fumbled. Darren Sharper recovered and the Cardinals did not. It seemed as if they gave up after the Saints made it 14-7 and 21-7. I still had hope when Beanie Wells busted a touchdown to make it 21-14, but the Cardinals couldn't avoid mistakes and, more importantly, couldn't stop the Saints.

Cardinals v. Saints

I just wanna let everyone know I played a Saints vs. Cardinals game in Madden 10. I controlled the Cardinals and won 63-41. So, it's official. The Cardinals have nothing to worry about. Actually, one of the Saints receivers had over 200 yards receiving, but one wide receiver cannot win a football game.

People are actually picking the Cardinals in this matchup of NFC powerhouses. I appreciate that some "experts" are willing to give them R-E-S-P-E-C-T after they put a beatdown on the Packers. I still adamantly believe if the Arizona Cardinals played any football team on the planet and both teams played at peak performance, the Arizona Cardinals would come off conquerer.

That won't happen this weekend though. Anquan Boldin may play but is nowhere near 100%. Mike Gandy, as much as I hate him, is out. Gerald Hayes is most likely out. Calais Campbell is hurt but will play. And many more. I'm sure the Saints have their fair share of injuries as well.

The Cardinals will play in domes the next two weeks and play in Miami for the Superbowl. The Cardinals secondary will play better this week.
