Cardinals take on the Giants en route to the Super Bowl!

November 18, 2008

2009 Arizona Cardinals: Best Team EVER Let’s talk about things we’ve never seen before and start with the 7-3, NFC West division-leading Arizona Cardinals. For the record, I was a Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals season ticket holder from 1988-1999 (by way of Oldhab) and then again from 2006-2007 while living in Los Angeles. I have seen exactly [...]

The Arizona/Bishop Ireton High School Cardinals

October 29, 2008

Cardinal sin? While waiting for the metro this afternoon, I noticed something very familiar embroidered on the front of this random youth’s jacket. Normally, I wouldn’t think twice–there are seemingly hundreds of universities and high schools with some variation of the Cardinal mascot. However, the Cardinal logo at Bishop Ireton High School, in particular, shared [...]

Free Taco Bell Taco Opportunity

I’m watching the World Series for two reasons. First, I’m in the mood for some baseball montage sequences, particularly those that involve the Arizona Diamondbacks or any that revisit crushing Yankees defeats. There have already been two such montages, and the game hasn’t even started yet. Second, and perhaps more broadly relevant, Taco Bell will [...]

Mary Lou Retton RULES!

During this year’s Summer Olympics, I spent time browsing through personal websites of various former Olympic champions. Admittedly, most of my time was spent enjoying the equally hilarious and annoying Kerri Strug website, which has unfortunately undergone a recent modernization project that has provided some level of respectability. I also spent a great deal of [...]

Phoenix Cardinals Reloaded

September 22, 2008

Just as we saw last year, the Washington Racial Slur for Native Americans organization refuses to acknowledge that, since 1993, the Cardinals organization has been referred to as the Arizona Cardinals, not the Phoenix Cardinals. Perhaps the guy who makes the cover for the FedEx Field napkin dispensors is not aware of the name change; [...]

Summer DC Bocce League: Endgame

September 21, 2008

0 Comments

The Final Four More important than our Final Four loss to DC Clap is the story of how we got there: playoff victories over #39 Destiny’s Pants, #7 Boccelism, #42 Invasion of the Bocce Snatchers, and, in particular, an Elite Eight victory over #2 Spacebonk. The match against Spacebonk will go down as perhaps the [...]

Cards vs. Racial Epithet: 2008 Edition

September 20, 2008

For the first time in a decade, the Arizona Cardinals have a good team. They are loaded with talented players on both offense and defense. They have a quality coaching staff. They have confidence. The major question is whether they can play smart and disciplined (ie, limit penalties), perform remotely decent on special teams, and [...]

Steelers and Cardinals share the honors!

September 12, 2008

Last week, I provided unequivocal evidence that Cardinals fans, not Steelers fans, are actually the best fans in the NFL. It took just two days to have my theory reduced to bird feed by a random dude wearing a Steelers jersey (see arrow) in a completely inappropriate context; in this case, a picket line. I’ve [...]

Balls You Can Believe In

Yes We Did With our two stars, The Eye and The Closer, unable to attend our Round 2 playoff match, The Greatest and Best Team in the World looked to the only person with enough passion and dedication to fill both of their shoes: Barack Obama. Since he had intended to repay the “favor” I [...]

The Captain Returns for a Round 1 Playoff De-Pantsing

September 8, 2008

Epic De-pantsing When Not a Good Team Name dispersed into two equally talented teams for the summer DC Bocce League, we all envisioned an ultimate Finals showdown between the two spin-offs. Fate, it seems, it not without a sense of irony. Indeed, Destiny’s Pants and The Greatest and Best Team in the World would meet [...]
