Matt Leinart finally signed
The first-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals signed a six-year contract.Out of 255 players taken in this years NFL Draft, Leinhart was the last to agree to a contract. Financial terms were not disclosed, but you can be assured it was way too much. ESPN reported that the contract was worth a max of $50 million, yes, $50 million. When the 10th overall pick and the second quarterback taken is worth $50 million there is something out of whack. No wonder the average family can not afford to go to a football game.And how does the 10th pick get almost [...]
The Quarterback Merry-Go-Round
There are a few names that float around that can make any Bills fan flinch--Scott Norwood, OJ Simpson, Wills McGahee. But lately, the name that floats around the most is J.P. Losman, the 2nd string quarterback that every Bills fan loves to hate on. I remember when I was watching the Bills play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5, when Trent Edwards was sacked and suffered the concussion. The moment Losman started jogging onto the field to take Edwards' place, half the people watching the game at t
The 2008 NFL Broadcast Assignments for Week 12
Athens, GA (Nov 22, 2008) - I will have to admit I was tired when I saw the Fox Sports press release for this weeks games. The headline read "Nine-Time Pro Bowler John Lynch Joins NFL on FOX as Game Analyst". For some reason, my eyes focused on "Pro Bowler". Why would Fox hire a bowler to be a football analyst? Were members of the PBA so desperate to get back on network TV that they had to resort to cross-promotion as football analysts to help their cause? Then I rubbed my eye and read the press

Raiders, Chargers, 49’ers, Seahawks: Blame Season on East Coast
Football is known as a game of inches but for the Arizona Cardinals, the Oakland Raiders, the San Diego Chargers, the San Francisco 49’ers, and the Seattle Seahawks it’s a game of miles, thousands of miles. While gaining yards on the gridiron has proved difficult for most of the aforementioned “west coast teams,” overcoming the thousands of miles they have to travel to play teams on the east coast is proving insurmountable. West coast teams are 0-14 in games played on the east coast. If you
Hot Stove Dishes - November 22, 2008
The latest buzz served up from baseball's Hot Stove League. Ten of the hottest stories, moves and rumors from the past week: The Giants are the dark horse to be big time players this offseason. Out of nowhere, rumors swirled that the Giants would be inserting themselves into the CC Sabathia chase. San Francisco already went out and signed one of the better lefty relievers on the market. Besides Sabathia, the Giants are after Edgar Renteria and might jump into the fray on another higher end
Giants will win this desert shootout

Giants will win this desert shootout
Giants will win this desert shootout THE GAME: The defending Super Bowl champion Giants (9-1) at the 1975 NFC East champion Arizona (formerly St. Louis) Cardinals (7-3). WHAT IT MEANS: This is three games. Not one. Really. Stay with me here. The Giants lead the Cardinals by 2 games in the race for one of the top two seeds in the NFC (and a home playoff game, and a first-round bye). If the Giants win today, they’ll be up 3 in the standings, plus they’ll own the tie-breaker over the Cards, so
49ers’ Martz happy with his new quarterback
For a man just fined $20,000, offensive coordinator Mike Martz was in a chipper mood Thursday. Martz gushed over quarterback Shaun Hill and raved over his rapport with new coach Mike Singletary. As for that fine? “That’s something that we’ll deal with, but it’s not something to discuss,” he said. The NFL penalized Martz for comments made after the 49ers’ 29-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 10. Martz said the officials failed to communicate where the ball would be spotted for the f
NFL Week 12 Preview
Jump to Comments (Philadelphia, Pa) — As the 2008 NFL Season hits the third quarter pole and it is quickly becoming apparent that this wacky season is going to come down to the bitter end (week 17) before everything is said and done. There are currently 21 teams at .500 or better — tied with 2002 with the highest number of teams with that mark after 10 games - so practically every team in the parity-laden league has a shot for one of the 12 coveted playoff berths. Surprisingly two teams (Tenne
Giants O-Line: rushing for 200-plus yards the norm
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—When the New York Giants offensive linemen walked into their group meeting a day after gaining 207 yards against Ray Lewis and a Baltimore defense that was the best in the NFL against the run, they didn’t start by patting each other on the back. That’s not their style. Instead, they teased each other about missed blocks and other missteps before getting serious and talking about the topic that is seemingly always on their minds: How to improve after leading Bra
Giants Burress will be a game-time decision Sunday (AP)
The chances of Plaxico Burress making another winning touchdown catch this weekend at the University of Phoenix Stadium are questionable at best. The New York Giants’ star receiver was limited at practice Friday because of an injury to his right hamstring and he will be a game-time decision on Sunday when the Super Bowl champions play the Arizona Cardinals.
Martz Slams NFL, NFL Slams Martz
Mike Martz said the NFL officials “screwed” him. The NFL then screwed Martz-without lube. According to sources, Martz has been fined $20,000 by the NFL for public criticism of game officials earlier this month, the league said on Friday. Martz complained his team had been “screwed” during the final seconds of San Francisco’s 29-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on November 10. According to Martz, the 49ers were not informed by officials about changing the spot of the ball after a replay

Jets have legitimate shot at ending Titans’ run
The New York Jets showed the nation last Thursday night that the acquisitions of Kris Jenkins, Alan Faneca and Brett Favre, among others, have made them legitimate playoff contenders. Their game Sunday in Tennessee may determine if they can be more than that. The Titans enter the contest 10-0, the NFL’s only unbeaten team. The Jets, who lead the AFC East at 7-3, are the most formidable opponent they will face until the final two games of the regular season, when they host Pittsburgh, then fi
Giants are fully aware Warner is still careless
Four years ago this month, Tom Coughlin was publicly pleading with Kurt Warner to keep his non-throwing hand on the ball while he’s in the pocket. On Sunday, Coughlin wouldn’t care if Warner spins it on his finger, Harlem Globetrotters style. A fumble-prone quarterback since his days with the Rams and Giants, Warner is still showing a tendency to lose the ball. In 10 games this season with the Arizona Cardinals , he has fumbled seven times. Warner’s five fumbles lost are tied with the Raid
NFL Picks: Week Twelve
Anyone recognize that handsome guy second from the left? Could it be a former Packers receiver whose career was cut short due to injury, perhaps? If you guessed Terrence Murphy, you are correct. Good work. Now, why on earth would I pull a T-Murph picture off of Facebook and post it on this weeks picks column? Simply, to make a point. That point being that I was better off starting Terrence Murphy than I was Lee Evans this week. I'm still quite pissed off about the fantasy week that was week e
Weekly Wrapup with Bill T
by: William "Bill T" Tomisser Hey gang, I’ve been in Seattle since Saturday and am enjoying the good weather and frequenting all my old haunts. I went to the game Sunday against the Cardinals and will be going to the Redskins game before returning to Anchorage next Monday. I got a special treat on Wednesday evening when I met with all but one of my old band members who were in the band “Backbone” together back in the '70s, which toured out of Seattle down into Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and place
Fantasy Football Game of the Week–Week 12
We hit the prediction pretty solid last week as the Colts/Texans game was a high scoring affair. This week the Fantasy Football Game of the Week will be when the New York Giants travel across the country to face the Arizona Cardinals. You might not think this is a great pick given the way the Giants play defense, but I think the Cardinals will be able to put up points on the G-Men and in turn they will have to bring out their offense to keep pace. For Arizona they have had a hell of a time
Cardinals’ cred on the line in next two games (SportingNews.com)
The Arizona Cardinals have generated plenty of positive buzz this season. They captured the league’s attention…
Grant Back On Track
One thing was dramatically different about the statline of the Packers following Sunday’s win against the Chicago Bears: Ryan Grant was over 100 yards on the ground. For the first time since Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts, Grant broke the century mark. Unlike the game against the Colts where he had a mere 105 yards rushing, Grant smashed the 100-yard mark, rushing for 145 yards and scoring a touchdown. The rushing department has been sorely lacking, due mostly in part to Grant, of who
