MVP Three-Peat
Posted by Gary Bender on January 29, 2007 1:52 PM
Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote that "Man tends to become what he thinks most about." Or in my case, what I was forced to think about. My dad, a very successful college coach had decided to leave his profession to take over his father-in-law's farm in western Kansas. Read more

Going for Sweet 16!
Posted by James Jones on January 25, 2007 7:51 PM
Wow, what a fast start for us in Washington. I think that was the best quarter of basketball I've seen in a while. It felt good to avenge the loss in Phoenix.

The Great Dictators

For a mid-season, midweek game, the Suns’ recent battle with the Wizards in Washington earned a lot of hype. It was billed, in many quarters, as “the Suns vs. the Suns of the East,” which I thought was a pretty telling description. Read more

The Feats of Strength
Posted by Brad G. Faye on January 22, 2007 4:12 PM
I know there are some that come to Suns.com in hopes of reading the latest in basketball news, but with the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl I’m afraid I’m going to have to start elsewhere. Read more
A Three-Second Memory Lane Violation
Posted by Adam Beechen on January 21, 2007 10:41 PM
The advent of online auction houses was the best and worst thing to happen to me. For years before they came around, I’d been on the lookout for Suns memorabilia, most of it from the era I remembered most fondly, the era of my childhood, the “Original Logo” years. Read more
Movie Reviews and Mercury News
Posted by Ann Meyers_Drysdale on January 18, 2007 1:40 PM
What a way to bring in the New Year! Our Phoenix Suns have won their last 11 games and boy are they fun to watch. If it's not Steve Nash with 21 assists, it's Boris Diaw putting up a double-double. Or Amare Stoudemire getting 42 off dunks - just like the Matrix. Read more
Thomas Sidelined with Elbow Injury
Posted by Tom Leander on January 16, 2007 3:05 PM
Well, the boys are streaking again. Ten in a row after a magical night in Memphis. What an intense experience being blocks away from the Lorraine Hotel where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and soaking-up the history and the respectful presentation the Grizzlies team produced on his holiday.

Posted by Jeramie McPeek on January 13, 2007 6:45 PM
A week ago tonight I was eating dinner alongside the Mississippi River and watching paddlewheelers, tugboats and cruise ships pass by. About a dozen of my fellow Suns front-office executives and I were in New Orleans for the NBA's annual marketing meetings. Read more

Posted by Brad G. Faye on January 12, 2007 8:07 AM
Wow, been a pretty hectic week here as you can imagine. Five straight home games have meant a lot of work not only for Suns.com, but everybody here at the US Airways Center - except maybe the players. Read more
Big Ben in the House!
Posted by Aaron Nelson on January 11, 2007 10:46 AM
I figured that now would be a good time to post another blog. On Wednesday, we had a special guest appearance to our shootaround by Super Bowl Champ Ben Roethlisberger. For those of you who are solely NBA (Phoenix Suns) fans, Ben is the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Read more
How I Cost the Suns a Victory
Posted by Adam Beechen on January 9, 2007 6:33 PM
The following story is true. No names have been changed to protect anybody. Regular readers of this blog know there’s no questioning my love for or loyalty to the Phoenix Suns. And that’s what makes this tale all the more painful for me. Read more
A Day at the Races for Cotton
Posted by Steven J. Koek on January 6, 2007 8:21 PM
The only thing I remember about the last time I went to the horse race track many years ago was that it smelled awful, the food was expensive and terrible, and I lost a lot of money I could not afford to lose. Saturday afternoon was an entirely different experience. Read more
