Two blogs in the same day for me... this MUST be a record....

I derive great pleasure from reading many of the different offerings here on Fannation. You get solid blogs (J. HOVA, RUGATOR, and many others) and the collection of both great throwdowns and asinine ones, too. I also have a good relationship with many of the respected member of the 'nation as well, but apparently I'm just another one of the collection of "haters" that seemingly run amok here. Lost? Bewildered? I'll elaborate...

Yesterday, I made a few comments in a TD held between two members of the 'nation regarding the question of which NFL conference would have the LEAST amount of wins between the NFC East and AFC West. Here's the TD:

As it would stand, I chose to point out a few things about the AZ Cardinals' golden boy, Matt Leinart. I stated that despite the obvious choice to be replaced due to his recent lack of worthiness, Leinart would still be the starter. I had a reliable source to back my proclamation, but I was immediately put on blast for it and accused of being an idiot:

Jason Kidd: Selfless generosity or just plain stupid?

*ATTENTION! If you are looking at this blog, obviously you're interested in the opinion shared here. For the sake of everyone else and to promote further conversation on the matter since you took the time to read it, LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS!* 

 Much ado has come from Jason Kidd's recent fulfillment of a previous promise made to Elaine Wynn (the wife of Steve Wynn, Las Vegas casino magnate) regarding his 2008 Beijing Olympics basketball gold medal. Kidd himself stated that "...I told her I'd make a deal with her, that if we won the gold medal, I'd give it to her. She thought I was kidding. But I told her I had one already, and the way they treated us at the Wynn, it was the least I could do."

NBA Playoffs: PHX Suns edition

After watching the Suns blow two games in a seemingly ridiculous fashion, I must say that in all honesty and sincerity, I give up on this team. The first stike against them began even before the playoff brackets were decided and signaled the death knell of one of the most prolific scoring and entertaining teams in the league:

The beginning of the end... PHX Suns edition...

Should the impending trade for Shaquille O'Neal go through as expected, the Suns will have completed a disastrous step closer to tripping headlong into the abyss of stupid trades made out of desperation to "keep up with the Jones (Lakers)".  Let me elaborate.. I'll try to keep my disdain and profanity to a minimum...

I'm having a great deal of difficulty in accepting this season as a potential title run. Why? I think the two stunning losses at the hands of MIN (coupled with the two losses the LAL) are an indicator that things are not as they were last season.  However, I'm not yet to the point where I will concede defeat for my team and throw in the towel. That said, let me address each reason why I feel the Suns are at a crossroads of sorts...
