Note to Self: DO NOT Get Rowdy on Mill Ave.

Looks like Shaq will be continuing his volunteer work with police, this time in Tempe. If the chain restaurants and overall corporate atmosphere wasn't enough to make you stay away from Mill Ave., perhaps a 7'2" 330 or so pound police deputy will be.Wait, scratch that. I'm thinking of this all wrong. It's the wrong tone.Shaq body-slamming [...]

I Don’t Give A Damn ‘Bout Our Reputation

---

GREAT song from Joan Jett.The Suns actually took heed last night and for the most part matched the physical play of the Pistons. Unfortunately, the officials saw it differently and gave the benefit of the doubt to the Pistons on most calls/non-calls.The point I'm failing miserably at trying to make here is the Pistons' reputation helped them [...]

Arizona Cardinals needs pre-draft

---

This was written by Mark on MVN.com 

If there is one thing you can count on with the Arizona Cardinals each year is that they will almost always draft for need on most of their picks and not go with the best player available in the early rounds.

Not a Huge Fan of Daylight Savings

---

4:30pm start for Suns/Pistons tonight? Don't these people know some of us have to work every day? Better get my butt in gear so I can head home early to watch the Suns hopefully exact some revenge.Some quick thoughts on tonight's game:-The Pistons lost to Washington last night and their old bones could be tired. A strong start is essential for the Suns, maybe run these guys off the [...]
