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: [...]

Poor Rush Limbaugh. I really feel for the guy. After all, this is America; a place where spewing hatred, separatism and racial insensitivity should have no bearing on a man’s right and license to print money as an NFL owner.
Getting on the radio and saying whatever you want about whoever you want without regard to accuracy or fear of reproach is the American way. It’s the very [...]

The buzz in the political world is the culmination of President Obama's first 100 days in office. As the pundits debate which campaign promises were failures and which were upheld we here at Fanster decided to put together our own panel to take a look at failed Phoenix sports campaign promises.
After much research and many days of debate (OK, really it was minutes) our esteemed panel [...]

Due to recent events, there's a lot of people that root for the Phoenix Suns who wish one Boris Diaw was still around.
Two and a half months ago, the trade that sent Diaw, guard Raja Bell and guard Sean Singletary to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for guard Jason Richardson and forward Jared Dudley was almost unanimously applauded. The Suns had been struggling offensively, and many [...]

I know it's only two huge wins against the Los Angeles Clippers, who were without several key components of their already sorry team, but I'm liking the Alvin Gentry version of the Suns.
Realistically, there's not much Gentry has done to change what the Suns are doing. Yes, he announced that the Suns were going back to a breakneck pace, [...]

The inmates are running the asylum. The players wanted Terry Porter gone, and so he is. The Alvin Gentry "era" begins tonight at U.S. Airways Center against the Los Angeles Clippers.
There has to be a weight off the backs of the players, mixed with a dose of harsh reality. They wanted it this way. They want to run. There's 31 games left, and [...]

Steve Nash is Phoenix's darling, and with good reason. He's won 2 MVPs and has been at the controls of a team that had averaged 58 wins over the last four seasons, and twice advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
This season obviously hasn't gone as smoothly for Nash or the Suns.
Everyone is searching for someone to blame for the fact that the Phoenix Suns, a [...]

Terry Porter. The tribe has spoken. You've been voted off the island. Please extinguish your torch.
Another elimination on Media Guide Survivor. First Raja and Boris. Now Terry. Who will be next?
Next week on Media Guide Survivor, the remaining islanders go through rigorous physical challenges, like having to fly coach to a roadtrip, saying nice things about their coach, and playing defense. [...]

We all know it's official...the Terry Porter experiment is over for the Phoenix Suns. Porter was relieved of his duties by general manager Steve Kerr after well-publicized issues with the team, and a real lack of any support from anyone inside the organization. ESPN analyst and former Phoenix Sun (barely) Jalen Rose offers his opinion on why Terry Porter was let go just 51 games into [...]

Terry Porter joined a dubious club on Monday.
He became just the 18th NBA coach since 1970 fired in his first year with a new team, and the first since 2005-06. Even more rare, he's only the 2nd of those coaches to be let go while his team had a winning record. In 1995-96, the New York Knicks fired Don Nelson, who had led them [...]
