VISA Financial Super Bowl Event
Usually this space is reserved for a completely Phoenix-centric column. Today, I'm going to make an exception. I was going to use this slice of the internet for a "Sports Retorter Mailbag", a la Bill Simmons and other online writers, but I realized no reader has ever actually emailed me (unless you count that guy peddling [...]

In sports odds never really matter to anyone except to people betting on the games. But even if you're not betting it's always fun to take a look at the odds and point spreads to see what the experts in Vegas think about your teams chances. Luckily the experts aren't always right. I know the season just ended and the draft and free agency haven't happened yet so these odds will change a little. I [...]

Super Bowl XLIII
It's hard to believe, that a little over one year ago (371 days to be exact) the Arizona Cardinals were playing on football's biggest stage--Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida.

According to the ABC affiliate in Cedar Rapids, his hometown is interested in naming a street near his [...]

Indianapolis Colts v Miami Dolphins
The debate over whether or not Matt Leinart is the answer at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals is in full swing. While no one knows whether or not Leinart will perform at a high level, one thing is certain, the team will need to sign a new backup.

"God help us" "Dear lord" These are just a few of the responses I got from a mass text I sent out on Friday that simply read "It's Leinart time."
