What a sports year in Arizona. 2009 marked a year that included five coaching changes, a team in bankruptcy, one championship and one for the ages, the Cardinals in the Super Bowl.
The following are my Top 20 sports stories in Arizona. I would love some feedback and/or if I missed something please email me at roc@callingallsportsaz.com: [...]

After Santonio Holmes' 6-yard touchdown catch with :35 left sealed the deal for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII, his teammates dog-piled him for nearly :20. Holmes then got up, and using the ball as a prop, re-enacted LeBron James' pregame powder ritual.
The NFL has a clearly stated rule that states any player celebrating a touchdown will be penalized 15 yards for using the ball as [...]

Over a week after his historic 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII, apparently Steelers' linebacker James Harrison is still trying to catch his breath.
That's funny, because over a week later, Cardinals' fans are still having nightmares about Harrison wobbling down the sidelines with an apparent force field around him.

Anybody who can tell you with a straight face that the officials didn't have an influence over that game didn't watch very closely.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII probably won't go down as the greatest Super Bowl of all-time, but it will definitely rank in the top five. I haven't seen the game on television yet (I'll have to go back and watch), but as more time passes after the loss, I've got a lot of questions.

I've seen a lot of losses in my history as an Arizona Cardinals fan. Most of them left me scratching my head, and wondering how any team could continue to find new and unbelievable ways to lose football games.
To me, Sunday night's 27-23 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII doesn't fall into this category. This is only the beginning for a [...]

(Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images) A roller coaster. That's how the Super Bowl, this season and the franchise's time in the Valley can be described.
Every emotion a fan has had in the 20+ years the Cardinals have called Arizona home was felt in a 60 minute period. Super Bowl XLIII was a microcosm of what it is to be an Arizona Cardinals fan.

They stumbled into the playoffs, losing four of their last six games.
They were called beneficiaries of playing in a weak NFC Western Division, in which they went 6-0.
They’ve been underdogs in every playoff game so far this postseason.
Yet, here they are. The Arizona Cardinals are just hours away from taking the field at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, and making their first [...]
