The Cardinals Crushed The Eagles Because The Cardinals Might Actually Be Good, In Two GIFs
The Cardinals we're already up, so it's not like this is why they won, necessarily. They probably would have won anyway. But boy, this must have felt like shit for the Eagles: Down 17-0, they'd marched the ball all the way down to the Arizona one. On third and goal with six seconds left in the half...
An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions
Oregon obliterated an inexplicably ranked Arizona team 49-0 last night, relying on its rapid-fire offense and five Wildcats turnovers to blow out Rich Rodriguez's squad. (Note to pollsters: beating a team you mistakenly ranked in the preseason shouldn't impress you.)...
Beer of the Week: Double D Blonde
Once we get past the name of Double D Blonde, the wheaty, quick-drinking blonde ale out of Oregon's Hop Valley Brewing Company, you can appreciate it as a hoppy little number that won't offend you, won't overwhelm you. It's lager-golden and keg-ready at 20 IBU and 4.9 percent abv. It has a sharp not...
Arizona 20, New England 18: The Game In One GIF
The only thing wrong with this game was the lack of John Skelton, who was out while he regrows his ankle from scratch. Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski made four field goals but missed a game winner from 42 yards out in the final seconds of the game. ...
Report: Replacement Official Who Worked Seattle-Arizona Game Has Been A Paid Practice Official For Seahawks
A field judge in last week's Seattle Seahawks-Arizona Cardinals game—a game where Seattle was awarded an extra timeout—has worked Seattle practices over the past three years. While it may not be on par with being a proud and public fan of the team you are scheduled to officiate, it's still problema...
A Lucky Michael Floyd Was Pushed Into Making This Amazing Touchdown Catch
Did Michael Floyd actually think he had a chance of catching this ball, as he saw it coming his way? I mean, he threw his arm out there, but he never would have made the catch if he hadn't been pushed right into the path of the ball by the defender. So by being tackled, Michael Floyd actually mad...
Andrew McCutchen Learned To Play The Game The Right Way By Watching The D-Backs And Doing The Opposite
"McCutchen's impressive hustle," MLB.com labels this highlight. It could just as easily be called "the Diamondback are bad at defense and baseball and should have sharp objects removed from their homes."...
Vin Scully Trying To Describe The Twitter Sounds Exactly What You'd Expect It To Sound Like
I love Vin Scully, and he deserves all kinds of credit for doing his darnedest to keep up with the times at age 84. That said, I'd also love to hear how his producer tried to describe Shane Victorino's tweet when the producer suggested Scully ought to read it on the air, which Scully does in the vid...
Now Jerry Hairston Has The Ball, Now He Doesn't
You really have to watch all of the video below to figure out what the hell happened here. Chris Young led off the Diamondbacks' ninth by blooping a ball down the left field line. Young figured he could make it to second before Jerry Hairston could throw him out, so off he went. But, somehow, the ba...

Mark Grace, Daisy Dukes, The Meat Sweats And A Middle Finger: Just Another Day At The Ballpark
So, as many of us now know, the Texas Rangers have some absurd hot dog that costs close to $30. It's a testament to the American spirit and Texas in particular. The bigger the better. It's also perfect "human interest" fodder for visiting team crews to discuss when they roll in to town....
Police Shut Down Illegal Horse Racing Track On Side Of Arizona Highway
Pantoji, a little dirt track by the highway 60 miles south of Phoenix, has been holding two- and three-horse races for years, with admission at $10 a head. It wasn't licensed, it wasn't monitored, and it violated just about every gambling statute on the books. And now it's closed, after authoritie...
Clumsy Dodgers Fan Drops Foul Ball, Falls Onto Field, Knocks Over Beer
This poor joker just couldn't do anything right in his pursuit of a ball that was pretty much hit right at him. And to top it off, he was wearing a glove. Watching this, I half-expected to see O.J. Simpson stumble into a bear trap, trip into a wedding cake, and fall off a boat....
Dan Majerle Caught An Automatic Double At Tonight's Diamondbacks Game
In his 14-year NBA career, Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle made his name with intensity and a freakish body.

Phillies Broadcaster Wanted Call Appealed, So He Shouted From The Booth And Hoped The Team Would Hear Him
Larry Andersen knew what he had seen here on Wednesday: that Diamondbacks shortstop Willie Bloomquist forgot to re-touch third base on his way back to second after Carlos Ruiz caught a pop-up in foul territory. And since none of the Phillies noticed, Andersen decided to take matters into his own h...
Fox Sports Arizona Did A Text Poll Asking Who's The Best In The NL East, And They Listed Every Team Except The Mets
