Amare Stoudemire is Arthur Spooner
What?
Yep, you heard me right. Amare Stoudemire is to me what Arthur Spooner was to Doug Heffernen.
He’s annoying and irritating at times, he thinks he’s probably better than he is, he’s a bit senile, doesn’t quite do what you want him to do, and seemingly will...
Awakenings: The Suns have come back to life
Have you ever seen the movie Awakenings starring Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro? It’s a film from the early 1990’s about a doctor, played by Williams, that discovers a drug that makes catatonic patients in his hospital, including DeNiro, come back to life.
If you haven...
Cajic using special anniversary to help others
Today, November 4th, Joe Cajic is celebrating ten years cancer free.
The Shadow Mountain High School product played football at Arizona State in the mid-90’s, and just three years after his career ended, he was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, and his only chance for...
PFN Live This Thursday…Or Friday?
I know that usually we hold PFN Live on Wednesday nights. It’s usually a good time to catch up with you guys out there and chat about Arizona State.
However, when the New York Yankees, the preferred team of both me and Vince, have another chance to bring home a World Series title...
ASU Depth Takes A Hit
Buried at the bottom Jeff Metcalfe’s story about Deveron Carr possibly getting a start across Pierre Singfield on Saturday against USC is the the real big news of the week so far for Arizona State.
Two players from the Devils’ vaunted-but-underachieving units will be shelved...
Grading the Game: Suns 104, Heat 96
Offense:
For the forth straight game the Suns shot at least fifty-percent from the field. The Suns shot 50.6% last night in Miami thanks in part to the second half heroics that the “ageless wonder” Steve Nash (really, who thought he’d be this good?). Nash had 25 of...
STBNL Wednesday - Does the Series end tonight?
Mark Weber (decked out in Yankee pinstripes) joins me for the Wednesday edition of the “Show To Be Named Later” on Fanster.com Let’s just say Web is cautiously optimistic about the Yanks wrapping up their 27th World Series Championship tonight.

Suns off to a 4-0 start after beating Miami
Four games is 4.9% of an NBA season.
So you’d think that a team that’s been around as long and been as successful as the Phoenix Suns would have had a bunch of 4-0 starts in their history.
Think again.
The Suns are off to only their 3rd 4-0 start in 42 seasons after beating...
Cardinals’ big plays? That’s so 2008
The big play is all the rage in the NFL.
Through week 8 of the season, there’s already been 81 touchdowns of 50 yards or longer, a pace well ahead of the record of 173 set in the 1998 season.
This past Sunday and Monday, there were 13 scoring plays of longer than 50 yards. DeSean [...]
Cautious, But Justifiable Optimism
Your 2009/2010 Phoenix Suns are 3-0. Yes, that’s right - they are one of only two teams in the West with an undefeated record.
To some, it’s not a big deal. However, I think it is. It’s not necessarily about the type of teams they beat, it’s how they beat...
Coyotes let one slip away
When Scottie Upshall scored on a wrist shot at 14:44 of the 2nd period, the Phoenix Coyotes took a 3-1 lead, and looked like they were on their way to their 4th straight victory.
The Los Angeles Kings had other plans.
L.A. scored 4 unanswered goals to score a 5-3 win over the Coyotes...
Hanging ‘Em Out There: Week 8 Results
It was another tough week in Fanster.com’s “Hanging ‘Em Out There”.
Twelve of our 13 competitors picked the Cardinals to beat the Panthers, and we know how that worked out. All thirteen panelists picked the Lions to beat the Lambs (oops!).
But it was Chuck Powell...
Jersey Issues
At last night’s Suns game I noticed that a lot of Suns fans are still wearing their Shaquille O’Neal jerseys that they bought over the last two seasons. Of course, wearing old jerseys is not anything new. At the US Airways Center one is likeley to see a variety of jerseys...
Cardinals Lay An Egg
With a chance to go two games up in the NFC West and establish themselves as one of the dominate teams in the NFL the Cardinals played their worst game this season. I don’t think it’s anything to panic over but it sure is discouraging to see the Cards play like they did...
Erickson looks ahead to USC
Arizona State head coach Dennis Erickson was asked during his weekly press conference how he’d describe USC’s demeanor after a 47-20 drubbing handed to them by the Oregon Ducks.
“Scary,” Erickson responded.
The Sun Devils (4-4, 2-3) will host USC Saturday at...
Things week one taught us about the Phoenix Suns
The first week is in the books for the Phoenix Suns and some of the picture that is the 2009-10 edition of the team is coming into focus. Here are a few things week one taught us about the Suns.
Amare is rusty:
We all knew that it would take some time for Amare to return to [...]
The Sports Retorter: Correction on earlier post
In a post last week entitled “Local AAU team used to launder money for breast implants”, I referenced the Arizona Warriors AAU team as the team used to launder money. While I had the right name, I had the wrong Arizona Warriors team. I referenced the fine Girls’ AAU...
Will LeBron join Amar’e and Nash in Phoenix?
Well, I’m darn near positive as to where LeBron James will be playing next season.
Phoenix, with the Suns.
No, no, I’m not overreacting to the horrid start the Cavaliers are off to or paying too much attention to the giant Shaq-shaped anchor the Cavs have wrapped around...
Bryzgalov named NHL’s third star of the month for October
GLENDALE, ARIZONA — The National Hockey League announced today that Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov has been named the NHL’s Third Star for the month of October. Colorado Avalanche goaltender Craig Anderson was named the first star while Washington Capitals forward...
Crystal Balls Rewind - Oregon did what?
I thought Oregon might squeak out a win over USC this week, but a 27-point drubbing? Seeing the Ducks manhandle the Trojans that way actually gives me some hope for ASU to beat…never mind. I don’t know what I was thinking.
The Amazing Vincenzo had another undefeated week...
Brownie Points: The Cardinals are like a box of chocolates…
Did you really expect anything different? I mean, really, really think things had changed?
This isn’t the New England Patriots we’re talking about here. These are the Arizona Cardinals. If they have no idea what to expect from week to week, how are fans supposed to follow along...
STBNL Monday - Cardinals take giant step backward
Michael Kossett joins me for Monday’s “Show To Be Named Later” on Fanster.com to discuss the weekend just concluded in the world of sports.
We start with the Arizona Cardinals, who turned in a sloppy, uninspired effort against the Carolina Panthers, losing 34-21....
