The Vig

While most of you suckers were stuck watching the Seahawks and Redskins this afternoon, this fan got to watch his Cardnials get manhandled by the New York Giants.
Things were still close at the end of the first half though.  The Cards punted with roughly :30 seconds left.  The Giants took a knee, content to go [...]

Busy busy busy.  It’s a good thing.
Beer and Blog: It’s become a Friday tradition in the local tech community.  How on earth have I never been?  I had a great conversation with @dieselboi about beer and the future of the Dragon.  Hopefully the folks at Rogue will elect to keep the place weird, or whatever.  [...]

I cant stand to look.  Did the Cardinals hang on?
My Cards have no defense.  Fortunately their division has no offense, so they don’t get exposed that often.
Better make hay while the sun shines, boys.  After the trip to Seattle next week, it’s the Giants at home and at Philly on Thanksgiving night followed by a [...]

A day or two late, but whatever.
Oregon City Pioneers: A good friend of mine coached football at Oregon City years before I got there in 1986.  Whenever I go to his house, I see a picture of that staff.  It was a mix of youth and veteran leadership.  And they all had one thing in [...]

ESPN has seen fit to publish a list of VIPs who’ll be roaming the sidelines at tomorrow’s USC-Ohio State game.  Charles White and Todd Marinovich will both be there.  How about that!
Given his druthers, would Matt Leinart rather be in Phoenix tomorrow?  Or would he rather be rubbing elbows with John Krasinski and Jerry Bruckheimer?  [...]

Hey!  I haven’t done one of these for a while.  Must be an autumn/football thing.
Oregon City Pioneers: What are they, like the fifth largest high school in the state?  And the demographics haven’t changed that much since I was there two decades ago.  Yet somehow they manage to perennially suck.  At least since Coach Burton [...]

That’s what Cardinals Gab says.  If true, it’s a terrific thing.  Looking back on Leinart’s college career, I think a giant red flag should have gone up when he passed on the chance to go #1 overall and opted instead to come back for his senior season.  A senior season during which he took exactly [...]

I watched most of the first half of tonight’s pre-season game against the Saints.
Ick.
I realize it’s the pre-season and we’re not supposed to take a whole lot out of it, but still.  Wow.  Drew Brees and the 63-year-old Mark Brunell (I kid…like me, he’s only 37) combined to go 16-for-19, 159 yards and a touchdown.  [...]

82 yards over two seasons isn’t going to get it done in the NFL.  Add to that the fact Marcel Shipp turns 30 next week, and it’s easy to see why the Cards released him yesterday.  So the Cards move on with Edgerrin James (ironically, seven days older than Shipp…but you’ll never hear anyone mention [...]

Arizona Cardinals: They seem to be getting B-pluses for their draft yesterday. I still don’t get the Dominique Rogers-Cromarte thing. The Deion Sanders seal-of-approval is just too much for me to overcome. I wonder if they’ll come to regret not drafting Mendenhall and cutting Edge. We should know around week [...]
