Cardinals show playoffs only show how good you are now

The Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl punches some holes in the arguments so many football fans make: if you don't win in December you can't possibly win in January.

Well the cardinals were 2-2 in December, lost one by 21 and the other by 40.

The two teams they beat -- the Rams and Seahawks -- were not very good.

The Cardinals lost four of their last six games and all four by double digits. And now we're to believe th...



Welcome to Canton Mr. Warner

If you have walked by the Tylock Lasik Sports office in the recent weeks, you have heard Host David Marcus and me arguing about two things. Where we are going to go to lunch and is Kurt Warner a Hall of Famer?

It's a question that seems to be popping up more and more these days. The answer is yes. Even before yesterday's performance the answer was yes. People are quick to judge Warner stating, "he only had two good years in St....



Do You Feel Sorry For The City of Philadelphia?

I didn't think so.

But Philly can't catch a break. For the second straight day, they see one of their beloved teams fall in the final minutes. On Sunday, it was the Eagles. On Monday, their Sixers lose at the buzzer to the Mavs.

Granted, Monday's game was far less important to the average Philly fan, but can you imagine the talk radio that will inflict that city this week? This is not a town that takes losing very well. Of cour...



Who are the best athletes in the World?

I have had this discussion many times with friends and others throughout my life and I want to present it to everyone else. Once again, I was thinking about this same thing the other day while watching LeBron James work in his majesty.

Bob Knight has said basketball players are the best athletes in the world. They are fast, quick, they can jump, for the most part they have great coordination, they work on the art of shooting constantl...



Mavs show off new acquisitions in Philly

2:38 PM Mon, Jan 19, 2009 |
Nick Zelinski

The Mavericks just completed their last second buzzer-beating victory over the Sixers in Philadelphia on the MLK holiday. The key play: Obviously, it was Dirk's game-winning fade away from the top of the key.

But, lost in the last-second heroics by Dirk, were the new exploits of Ryan Hollins and Matt Carroll, who were recently acquired in the Diop trade.

Both players entered late in the first quarter. What should Mavs fans ex...



Dirk doesn't let Mavs blow another one

The Dallas Mavericks are lucky.

They have Dirk Nowitzki.

The were not so lucky when they were up 12 with a little more than two minutes left and let the .500 Philadelphia 76ers come back to tie the game at 93-93.

That's where Dirk comes in. He gets the in-bound pass with a just a couple seconds left dribbles around and hits a 20-foot fade-away jumper just before the buzzer to give the Mavs a 95-93 win.

Dirk fi...



Can 2009 Cowboys Be This Year's Cardinals?

Many Cowboy fans had to be shaking their heads Sunday, watching the once-woeful Arizona Cardinals secure their place in Super Bowl XLIII. A team the Cowboys could/should have beaten during the season, suddenly on their way to completing an improbable story.

And a team, like the Cowboys, that finished 9-7. The Cardinals, however, had the luck of being in football's worst division, outside of the AFC West.

What do the Cardinals ...
