When the Washington Redskins head to Arizona to take on the Cardinals Thursday night, the ‘Skins will travel farther than any other preseason team this year. In fact, this will be the longest road trip for the Redskins all season long. “Why couldn’t they come here?” asked guard Derrick Dockery. Head coach Mike Shanahan added, [...]
The Arizona Cardinals (1-0) and Tennessee Titans (0-1) will both look to follow up strong fourth-quarter efforts with better starts when they meet in their second preseason game on Monday Night Football. The Cardinals and Titans outscored their opponents by a combined score of 30-0 in the fourth quarter last week, but only one of [...]
One could make the argument that the Houston Texans are closer to becoming a playoff team than the Arizona Cardinals this year despite the fact that they have never made it to the postseason. The Texans will take that first step toward proving themselves as the first road favorites of the preseason against a Cardinals [...]
Five Thoughts about each of Saturday’s games: Arizona (+7) at New Orleans 1. The total is interesting here. The books set it at a sky high 57.5 – higher than either team had faced all year. Still, because of what Arizona did last week and what New Orleans is capable of doing I was expecting [...]

No, I am not nominating these guys for sainthood, but I am saying that they have character, a strong work ethic [...]
The Steelers might have the hardware, but the biggest winner in the NFL playoffs is unquestionably Todd Haley, the former offensive coordinator of the Cardinals. Heading into the playoffs few people knew his name, and he wasn’t mentioned with any regularity surrounding coaching vacancies. He put together a phenomenal playoff run, though, and all of [...]
This year has certainly brought its share of surprises. I don’t know if they did the same to you, but here are ten things that caught me off-guard. Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins: Okay, am I dreaming or what? Neither of these teams could do anything right over the last decade or so and now [...]
I’m what I would call an enthusiastic amateur horseplayer. I absolutely love going to the races, and I love the puzzle that races present, but I don’t put in the time or effort that it takes to be good at picking winners over the long term. Regular winners at the tracks are magicians. Because I’m [...]
