Wild Card 2009
The N00bs' Battle
The Arizona Cardinals haven't been in the playoffs since 1998. The oldest franchise in the NFL has seen a lot of suffering over the last couple decades, shackled to a notorrriously penny-pinching ownership. Things have turned around in last five years as the Bidwell family has opened up the pursestrings. Brand new stadium and hiring Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt from PIT as steps toward an actual long term solution have seen the Cards grow from doormat to sleeper to (ZOMG) this year's NFC West champs.

add to facebookA hurrah and a huzzah goes out to Raider Nation for not selling out Sunday's Raiders game. As a result, football fans throughout the area will be allowed to watch The. Biggest. Game. Ever. from the vicinity of their couch.
In all honesty, we didn't care who won or lost last night, but towards the end of the game, we found ourselves rooting for the Bears mainly because we started feeling bad for Rex Grossman. He was playing such an awful game that we took pity on him. You know how in all the sports movies, there's always that dorky, unathletic kid who that nobody wants on their team but they always wind up being the hero? That was Rex. He was like Lupus in the Bad News Bears. How could you not root for him? But sadly, he didn't wind up being the hero.

The good news is the Warriors scored 135 points last night in Memphis against the Grizzlies. Bet you can't see where this one is going. Yup. The bad news is that they gave up 144 points.
As the score indicates, the game was a track meet. It was also a tug-of-war match, with exciting bursts of alternating runs all night. Back and forth the entire game, both teams made runs, then got run, then made more runs. This was not the usual NBA game where one team jumps out to an early lead only to blow it in the fourth quarter and lose, with everything in between just dead air. Tonight there were 18 lead changes and 10 ties. Maybe it was the ball.
But in the end, the Warriors shooting abandoned them at the critical point in the game and the Griz made the final, close-out run.
Sharks beat high-scoring Ducks, 4-3, with a tipped pass by Joe Thorton in the late, late third period. The victory snapped the Ducks five game winning streak and was only their fourth regulation loss of the season. Is their still room on the Sharks bandwagon?
Being from Philadelphia, SFist always thought 49ers fans had it too easy. After all, their team won Super Bowls, they had the model franchise, and they had the Sainted Joe Montana at Quarterback. And then, in an embarrassment of riches, Joe was followed by an equally kick-ass QB, Steve Young. Now the Niners will have two Quarterbacks enshrined in the football Hall of Fame as today it was announced that Steve Young, along with Dan Marino, will be elected into the Hall.
