It's no secret that I'm a new fan. So new, in fact, that calling me a rookie in terms of fandom would be a huge compliment. In my mind, I'm still warming the bench, picking up the sweatsuits and filling paper cups with Gatorade - which suits me just fine.
The sad part is that though I can read about the formation, growth and [...]

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 [...]

It's lunchtime and we're here to navigate you through some of the things you've missed in Phoenix sports since you've been chained to your desk.
Amare Stoudemire Is Ready For Anything
“I’m always secure,” Stoudemire says. “It’s never really a problem with me from a rumor standpoint. I never really feed into it too much. My thing is always steady improvement, and I’m always gonna do that [...]

Well I was right about one thing (although by the looks of my picks over the weekend, not much else).
The Green Bay Packers might well have been the best the NFC had to offer this January. They were all that and a bag of pork rinds – with a block of cheese to boot. [...]

I never thought I'd learn anything when I purchased a throwback purple Charles Barkley Phoenix Suns jersey on Ebay. I was wrong.
By paying twenty dollars to some random Chinese company, I learned a valuable lesson.
I learned that it takes a box forever to get from China to Phoenix, and said box is covered in a million stickers once it arrives. More importantly, I learned why [...]

I must admit I love watching George Steinbrenner, Jerry Jones and the like contort themselves into a fleshy pretzel in their private boxes as much as the next guy.
But sometimes, that view into the owner's box produces a melancholy moment. And you had to feel for New Orleans owner Tom Benson – a sweet guy [...]

I've never hid my affection, or is it an affliction, for Charles Barkley on this site. I've been a huge Barkley fan since I was a kid growing up in Phoenix, I've even patterned my current look after him (think "Round Mound of Sit Down"). When I found out that he'd be hosting the January 9th episode of Saturday Night Live, I couldn't help but be [...]

I am not a role model. I am not paid to be a role model.
That's the truth for most professions in this life. Outside of those in education and religion, people aren't paid to be role models in this society or any other.
Government officials? They're paid to develop legislation, enforce laws and represent their local and national constituents needs. If they decide to hold a impromptu [...]

To many, the Cardinals-Bears game this weekend is like any other game: a matchup between two teams in search of their identity and a spot in the playoffs.
To me it's personal.
It's not because the Cardinals return "home" to take on their former crosstown rivals. Although, I've actually heard people talk about that as storyline (the only person who remembers the Cardinals in Chicago or looks [...]
