The double-crossing of Mike Leach

MICHAEL LEE LANNING, the author of 17 military history books, says he’s attended two college football games in his life. Wouldn’t call himself a sports fan, and says he’s never met Mike Leach. Lanning took an unlikely path, to say the least, in writing his first sports-themed book, “Double T Double Cross,” the story of Leach’s controversial ouster at Texas Tech and its aftermath.

2011 Arizona Cardinals season in review

The Arizona Cardinals finished the 2011 season with an 8-8 record. That leaves us with a little problem in evaluating them. If things had gone a little better they may have been a 10-11 win team. However after winning in week one this team lost six games in a row. Long losing streaks are the number one culprit in losing seasons. The Cardinals did not have a losing season, but certainly...

In depth: Arizona Cardinals

You are what you are in the NFL and the Arizona Cardinals were an 8-8 team in 2011. But the Cardinals, more than most teams, have reason to saying “what if” right about now. Arizona started 1-6, but lost four of those games by four points or less. That dug a hole from which the team could not emerge. But closing 7-2 on the strength of a mostly strong defensive performance...

Dockett's Sacks Among All-Time Super Surprises

One of the many reasons to anticipate a Super Bowl game is because we just don’t know what might happen. We could see – and have seen – superstars perform amazing feats, and we could also see some very unexpected and unlikely performances from players that we didn’t think had it in them. It’s hard to predict what underrated players might wind up...

Peyton Manning on Arizona's Radar?

Adam Schefter of ESPN stated that quarterback Peyton Manning is expected to be on the Arizona Cardinals' radar for 2012. Fantasy Spin: Kevin Kolb was a disappointment in his injury-riddled first campaign in Arizona, as he held a dull 81.1 efficiency rating over nine starts.

If I Ran The Arizona Cardinals...

For the better part of my life, the Arizona Cardinals have sat between the middle and bottom of what is known as the worst division in the NFL – the NFC West. Disgruntled fans are looking for the franchise to make a few specific moves to get back on track. Let’s face it, under my ownership the team would most likely be sitting in the basement every year. With that being...
