Cards, Suns falter...

The New Orleans' fans are celebrating down in the Bayou country.

They should! They have a football team that could go all the way. The Saints had little trouble dismantling the Arizona defense yesterday afternoon at the Louisiana Superdome as they sent the Cardinals home with their heads down and their helmets at their sides.

A 45-14 shellacking. It's the same old story for the Cardinals and the Arizona fans can now say those three disappointing words: Maybe next year! As for the Phoenix Suns, it looks like they are going to follow suit. Back in late November, I posted a blog entitled: The Suns are on the rise. The Suns were heading for New York for a game against the lowly Nicks. A Phoenix win would've given them 15 wins -- its best start to a season in franchise history. They lost. The Suns are on a downward spiral and are now at 24-17 on the year and are 7 1/2 games back of the Lakers. They lost last night in Charlotte, 125-99. Not a good day for the Cards or the Suns.
