[Audio] Seven Minutes or Less: Lakers visit rested, but short-handed Suns
The Lakers are vulnerable, but they're know it, and are intent on re-establishing themselves. Meanwhile the Suns are coming off five days' rest, but still two rotation players short thanks to Frye's suspension and Barbosa "not being ready." Um...your team is fighting for playoff positioning and they don't have Frye's scoring off the bench against a division rival. Maybe you should...I don't know...push through it? Whether it's celebrating a win [...]

[Podcast] Phoenix Sports Retorters: Darnell Dockett is the Arizona Cardinals’ Charles Barkley and that’s a good thing
It's the episode number four, or as we like to call it, the Brett Favre edition of The Phoenix Sports Retorters because we could decide whether or not to actually do the show until the very last minute. Your host Greg Esposito flies solo, once again, begging the question, "Will you change the damn name to the Sports Retorter already?". It's [...]

A Merry Basketball Christmas. Notes on 10 hours of NBA on TV
On Christmas Day I spent almost 10 hours on the sofa in front of the TV watching NBA basketball. I didn't actually watch the game the whole time as I found myself sleeping occasionally and more or less for the entire Boston-Orlando game. Here's some of the notes from the day: Knicks-Heat (02:28 of basketball) Game One of the Xmas basketball marathon came for me after a very heavy traditional Christmas lunch [...]

I'm sure you've heard a million times already, but this year marks the 40th anniversary of PBS' Sesame Street. All week, I've run across sports blog posts about the greatest athlete appearances on "the Street". While watching the likes of Bo Jackson, Dr. J and Kobe hanging out with the Muppets, I began to wonder what Sesame Street characters had a Phoenix sports equivalent (no Phoenix [...]

The Sports Retorter: Losing to the Lakers should never be a good idea
This morning, the writers over at Bright Side of the Sun posted a piece entitled "Why Losing to the Lakers is a Good Plan for the Suns" (before it was updated to include "or at least isn't the end of the world"). As I read the headline, I assumed it was some form of satire. I was wrong. Like a Mike Tyson press conference, the piece [...]

Checking in on the Los Angeles Lakers
It's time for the first Lakers, Suns match up of the 2008-2009 season and the anticipation is palpable. If you are a Suns fan you know what is going on with the home town team but what about the "Lake Show"? Seems as if LA media can't let go of the Kobe Shaq feud. So much so that they have named the top 10 moments in the [...]

Cubs fans are what’s wrong with Arizona sports
I'm not quite sure what city I live in. Last time I checked it's 110 degrees outside without any humidity so it must not be Chicago. I wish I could tell that by going to Chase Field this week, listening to the radio or reading the local newspapers. The Diamondbacks three game series versus the Cubs today, Tuesday and Wednesday, as usual, will be a prime example of what is wrong with Arizona [...]
