Arizona Cardinals 1 hour agoThe joke's on Hall
Kent Somers' Cardinals Blog | Arizona Republic — Arizona Cardinals update: Heard a great anecdote this afternoon about a practical joke coaches played on rookie QB Max Hall Thursday night against the Redskins. Hall played well and when he left the game for good, he did a sideline interview with FOXAZ's Jody Jackson. Quarterbacks coach Chris Miller then told Hall to call upstairs to the coach's booth because passing game coordinator Mike Miller wanted to talk to him.

Ice Chips | Arizona Republic — Phoenix Coyotes update: A year ago, coach Dave Tippett came up with the perfect slogan for a team fighting for both respectability and a playoff spot. “Pack mentality.” He likes to move forward when it comes to mantras, and he has a new one for the 2010-11 season. “Up the ante.” Fans were thrilled a year ago when the Coyotes reached the playoffs for the first time since 2002, but Tippett did not view the season as a success.

Jeff Metcalfe's ASU Blog | Arizona Republic — Arizona State volleyball will be without Pac-10 digs leader Sarah Johnson when it opens at home Friday. Johnson, a senior libero, suffered a fractured nose when she collided with outside hitter Sarah Reaves in a match Sunday. She is out until at least Monday and must wear a mask for the next 4-6 weeks.
