Can we now end all discussions about momentum and the playoffs?

All week leading up to this weekend’s divisional playoffs in the NFL all I heard amongst the talking heads was how New Orleans had lost three consecutive games going in, and how Indianapolis had lost their last two, and how neither team had played a “meaningful game” in about a month, and how all of this [...]

Spring training in Arizona

While most of the rest of the country is in a deep freeze and still watching football we here in Phoenix Arizona are enjoying 72 degree weather and starting to think baseball.  Although the Cardinals are still in the mix so football is holding the attention of the locals for the time being.
The Arizona Cactus [...]

Smart move by Suns…

Earlier this week the Suns put an end to what was a bad mistake.  Namely the hiring of Terry Porter as head coach.  And if they end up keeping Amare Stoudemire that will be their second good move.
Porter was a bad fit.  Porter tried to bring in a slowed down half court game focused on [...]

A-Rod and the Steroid Era…

For  a while I was delusional.  I wanted to believe Barry Bonds wasn’t a user.  Maybe it’s my childish naivete.  Maybe it’s that I like to believe the best of people and give them the benefit of the doubt.  So when Barry was smokin’ balls out of the park at record breaking clips and putting [...]

The Super Bowl Myth…

Every year I hear someone mutter the inane comment, “all the Super Bowls are blow outs anyway, I just watch for the commercials”.   Stated like a true NON-FOOTBALL fan.  And the comment about the commercials….well, I could write an entire blog post alone about that ridiculous comment.
When one really has a history of the game [...]

Top 10 Super Bowls…

Every sports fan has got their favorite Super Bowl moments and Super Bowl games.  Many will be biased because their favorite team was probably involved.  This list is compiled as objectively as can be by a 49er fan.  The criteria for the list are as follows: the game had to have significance OR was a [...]

Greatest Super Bowl Team Ever…

Ever since the NFL Network began airing (what’s that been a whole 3 years I believe) I’ve always enjoyed their series “America’s Game“.  On this show they chronicle some of the greatest Super Bowl teams, breaking the season down through interviews with three of the key players and or coaches from that season.
Now, being a [...]

Boy was I wrong!

A few weeks ago, before the playoffs started I posted a blog here at Arizona Premiere Sports entitled, “Cardinals not ready for prime time.”  Well, I’m a big enough man to admit when I was wrong.  And in this case, I was terribly wrong.  But who would’ve thunk it.  I mean, at the time, the [...]

Mid-Month D-Backs Update

I recently blogged about the Arizona D-Backs tough road schedule in the month of June, and I think tonight’s loss is a perfect example of the type of game you never want to have, especially on the road. 
Carlos Beltran’s bottom of the 13th two run shot snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and saved Pelfrey’s [...]

Big Brown and the Triple Crown

This weekend Big Brown (sired by Danzig, the horse, not the singer) attempts to capture the 140th running of the Belmont Stakes and secure his place in horse racing history as only the 12th horse ever to win the coveted Triple Crown (click here to see the list of all past Triple Crown Winners) and [...]
