Praying For A Friend And His Family March 2, 2009

   How many times have you watched the news on television begin with horrible stories from fatal auto accidents to a child’s death to a killer storm and the list goes on?  I’ll answer that question for you — EVERYDAY.  Yet when most of us hear those stories, we feel sad for a brief moment [...]

Flip A Coin, It’s That Close January 30, 2009

   So who will win Super Bowl 43?  I have no idea and neither do any of the so called experts.  It’s a guessing game and I don’t care how many times you analyze it, you’ll get a different opinion from each person you talk to.   A die hard Cardinals or Steelers fan will, without [...]

Is Warner Worth It? January 28, 2009

During Super Bowl week I’ve heard some disturbing speculation regarding the future of Kurt Warner.  I’m hearing that the Chicago Bears are ready to make the soon to be free agent a sweetheart deal to play in the Windy City.  I’ve also heard that several other teams in need of a quality quarterback are interested [...]

Unique Sports Week January 27, 2009

I never imagined I would see the Cardinals in the Super Bowl and the FBR Open in the same year.  Going to the Super Bowl was a pipe dream as recently as January 11th.  So imagine my surprise when the Cards earned a trip to the Super Bowl during FBR Open week.  I have some great news [...]

Cards Bandwagon Accepting Riders January 12, 2009

  I have never seen so many Cardinals fans as I have over the last 3 weeks.  Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson and Anquan Boldin jersey’s are greeting me at the bank, the store, the post office, here at CBS 5, everywhere.  Trust me, that’s not a bad thing.  It’s great.  The Big Red Birds [...]

Broken (BCS) Record November 30, 2008

    It seems every year at this time I get my dander up because of a flawed system that refuses to do the right thing.  We don’t know who will play in the BCS title game but it won’t be undefeated teams Utah, Boise State or Ball State.  It won’t be once beaten USC, Penn [...]

Blast From The Past November 7, 2008

  Tennis is not a sport that gets much attention in the Valley.  Once a regular stop of the ATP and WTA tours, tennis has all but been forgotten around here.  During the week of November 5th through the 9th, 8 former tennis standouts competed in the Cancer Treatment Centers of America Championship at the [...]

Great Walk, Not Wasted October 17, 2008

    This year’s Frys.com Open is set to begin at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale.  Don’t mistake this PGA Tour event with the FBR Open, which is dubbed “the greatest show on grass”, but it is unique in it’s own way.  The field will be the best of the fall series events on tour.  [...]

It’s Time To Do The Right Thing October 3, 2008

Anquan Boldin is one of the toughest people I have ever met.   That was clearly evident when he was drilled by New York Jets safety Eric Smith.  The helmet to helmet collision was so powerful that it not only knocked out Anquan, it also KO’d Smith, who eventually left under his own power.   Even as medical personnel tried [...]

Save A Life September 12, 2008

    Normally in this column, I write about sports related stories.  I’m going to go outside the box and tell you about a passion in my life.  From the moment I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on December 10, 2006, I knew I was in for a battle.  Unless you’ve been there, you can’t imagine [...]
