There’s nowhere to go but up for the Arizona Cardinals. But rather than a rising phoenix, think more “turd in a toilet” floating to the surface.
Improvements have been made in Year 2 under head coach Jonathan Gannon, yet we’re still dealing with a bottom-tier team if the NFL odds have anything to say about it. Arizona is a long shot across the futures market with a season win total of 7.5 shaded heavily to the Under, and look-ahead lines have the Cardinals as underdogs in 12 outings.
A healthy Kyler Murray, rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr., and continuity across the coaching staff are all positives, but are they enough to overcome a porous defense and life in the NFC West?
I head to the desert searching for answers in my Arizona Card…
“Wycombe know all about the ups and downs of football,” Keith Hill explains, before Saturday’s meeting of the Wanderers in Bolton. “It’s only a few years since they only stayed in the Football League on goal difference, the season Bristol Rovers went down. “They are in a different place now, in front of us, but we are on a different journey.”
That is one way of putting it, though the harsh reality is that the two travellers meeting at the Macron on Saturday appear to be wandering in different directions. Wycombe are pushing for promotion to the Championship, while Bolton, who started the season with barely any players and a 12-point deduction, are bottom of the table and looking at a drop into League Two.

For the first time in nearly 50 years, the Chicago Cubs have been no-hit after the soon-to-be-traded Cole Hamels struck out 13 en route to his first career no-no. It wasn’t without some drama at the end, as Kris Bryant hit a long drive to center field, necessitating an awkward catch by rookie outfielder Odubel Herrera. Above is how it sounded on WPHI; here’s how it sounded on Phillies Spanish radio.

Newcastle’s new £22m midfielder Joe Willock is unable to face West Ham at St James’ Park on Sunday after failing to complete the formalities of his move from Arsenal in time.
Steve Bruce had hoped to have Willock on the bench against David Moyes’s side but Newcastle missed the Premier League’s 12pm registration deadline on Friday. Willock’s fee could rise to £25m with add-ons.

The 21-year-old, who scored eight goals for Newcastle during a loan last spring, is nonetheless delighted to have returned to Tyneside following several days of protracted negotiation over personal terms after a fee was agreed with Arsenal last Sunday.
The suspension of Gary Lineker from his BBC presenting duties has echoes of “Putin’s Russia”, MPs have heard, as calls for the corporation’s chair to resign continue to mount.
Labour’s Lucy Powell, the shadow culture secretary, made the comments in parliament after she was granted an urgent question on the government’s role in upholding impartiality on the BBC.
It came after controversy over remarks Lineker made on Twitter criticising the government’s migration policy and likening ministers’ language to “that used by Germany in the 30s”.
The BBC suspended Lineker from his Match of the Day presenting duties, triggering a mass walkout of BBC sport staff, pundits and commen…
My favourite Benjamin Disraeli story – in a crowded if largely apocryphal field – comes from a dinner party the then prime minister attended in the late 1870s. War is raging in the Balkans, and with public opinion overwhelmingly in favour of a British intervention, the mood at the table is understandably tense. Eventually one guest, unable to bear the awkward silence any longer, bursts out: “Mr Disraeli, what are you waiting for?”
“At this moment, madam,” Disraeli replies, “the potatoes.”
I ended up thinking about this story quite a bit during the 0-0 draw at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon, which tells you pretty much everything you need to know about a game defined – to an unusual degree – by wa…
There is a warped irony in the timing between Netflix’s new sports-doping documentary, Untold: Hall of Shame, and the most recent suspension of a professional athlete for violating a league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. The doc — which debuted last night and details the rise and fall of BALCO, its mastermind, Victor Conte, and the performance-enhancing drug scandal that rocked most of the sports world in the early 2000s — is presented with the nostalgia of a long-gone era. Yet, just two weeks ago, Dallas Cowboys RB Ronald Jones was suspended for violating the NFL’s PED policy. Don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t see the news. Jones’ paltry two-game ban was covered with the shrug of a strained hamstring injury. Granted, Jones is a bit player, and when DeAndre Hop…
Some people are fans of the Chicago Bears. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Chicago Bears. This 2017 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Chicago Bears. Your 2016 record: 3-13. Let’s see how they shot themselves in the dick against Green Bay this time! I know the Lions and Vikings also routinely humiliate themselves trying to beat the Packers, but the Bears…my friends, the Bears have it down to a science. Don’t you dare try to out-cuck them. Your coach: John Fox, who is clearly in the Spurrier-mailing-it-in-at-South-Cackalacky phase of his career. Look at that man and tell me he doesn’t want to be in flip flops and a Hawaiian shirt and fellating a Corona at some tiki bar somewhere. Last ye…
