This and that…

Arizona Sports News online

If you’re an Ohio State fan, does losing to rival Michigan in November mean as much now that you’re the national champs…

If I could take one player off of last night’s game to start a franchise, it would be Buckeyes receiver Jeremiah Smith…

Why is it that the Fiesta Bowl was passed over AGAIN for a Champ game? You might’ve missed it (I sure didn’t), but Monday,Tampa replaced Dallas as the host for the 2029 College Football Championship. Somebody, somewhere just doesn’t want to see a CFP Title game in Arizona. Why it’s not been rectified, I have no idea. Those who point out that the Fiesta will host a semi-final next year and in 2028, just don’t get it. Championship games should include the Fiesta Bowl…

The Suns were down 30 at one point to Cleveland on Monday. The NBA in January is FAAAAAAANNNNNNNNTTTTTTAAAAAASSSSTICCCCC. I watched the unwatchable just to see if there’s a little bit of a pulse. Nope. I saw players laughing on the bench in the fourth quarter. I saw sloppy. But, because this is how the Association goes, I’m thinking that in another month or so the Suns will start rattling off victories and all will be amazed at the turnaround. I’ve already started hearing and reading the usual rhetoric, “well, if they just make the playoffs anything can happen.”. The overall product isn’t good…

Spent some time Saturday afternoon with USA gold medalist sand volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings, who was at Arizona Athletic Grounds for an event. Not only did she bring the hardware for me to wear, but she delivered the goods when it came to the topic of mental health, coaching, and relationships. You’ll see it one the site later this week.

I don’t mind the Dodgers signing spree. Look, the owner here Arizona has shown the propensity of spending money when he feels as though he has a team that is close. If you’re one of those who wants to rip Ken Kendrick, then you’re just one of those who wants to rip. Building a roster for a postseason run requires dollars into pitching. He’s done that. He also has a roster that has an excess of desirable parts. More moves will come…

Good for Jayden Daniels! I always like dealing with him during his time at Arizona State. Yes, I had heard the rumors and rumblings that his mom was a handful, but that’s just par for the course in this day and age of sports. Jayden was always respectful to me and our times doing interview or just chatting…

Former Sun Devil Scott Peters was named o-line coach of the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. Those of you that have been with us through the years here, probably remember Scott co-hosting shows with Grey Ruegamer, who is with the Green Bay Packers organization…

Is Bobby Hurley in trouble?. Very fair to ask, though I am on the side of the street that says he should be safe. Lotta season left, but I think it’s fair to wonder about his future in Tempe…
