I've taken a lot of trips down memory lane this week, as we prepared for the re-launch of Suns.com. I vividly recall reading a memo from the league office in 1995 describing plans for a new NBA portal that fans could access through their computers to get score and schedules for each team.

Both in sports as well as life, I’ve had a reputation for being very good at seeing things well before they develop. Some might even go as far as to call me a bit of a prophet (they don’t, but what better time to start, right?). Read more

I never did get to that new Einstein biography, see Superbad or any other summer Hollywood offerings, or add a word to the novel I haven’t touched in three years. And I never watched more than a passing glance as Suns’ players began returning to the Valley and working out at US Airways Center. Read more

The last and final day may have been the craziest, most chaotic day I’ve had in a long time! Upon waking up at around 8 a.m., packing up my room, and checking out, I headed up to a quick breakfast with the rookies (Alando and D.J.). LB was already down and we were just waiting on Steve. Read more

Our second day in Beijing consisted of breakfast at 8 a.m. followed by a 9:15 a.m. sightseeing tour of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. We had a tour guide talk to us about all of the history. It was a great experience and everyone enjoyed the tour despite the continual rainfall. Read more

I must begin with an apology for a summer-long neglect of blogging, but I am going to fall back on the excuse of being too busy. My wife and I welcomed the birth of our first child—a son we named Andrew. Believe me, an incredible experience that puts a whole new perspective on life. Read more

The injury to the franchise player will almost certainly cost his franchise any chance of success. Read more

One of the perks of working in professional sports is that when I take a break to walk around the office... I end up walking around the arena.

Here’s a quick game for you: If you’re a Phoenix Suns fan, raise your hand. Now, if you think Steve Nash helped bring hope back to Suns fans when he signed with the team three years ago, lower your hand. I would imagine no one reading this still has their hand raised. Read more

I probably shouldn't admit this, but tonight's Game 4 of the Phoenix Mercury vs. Detroit Shock Finals series was the first WNBA game I've ever gone to. And while I'm admitting things, I may as well admit that I didn't expect it to be as entertaining as a Phoenix Suns game. But I was wrong! Read more

Imagine you're sitting at your job on a Friday morning, quietly working away, when your boss sends you an instant message: "How would you like to interview Al McCoy about receiving the 2007 Curt Gowdy Media award from the Hall of Fame and then write a blog about it?" Read more

Hello, Suns fans. Writing you from Madrid, Spain, home of the 2007 European Basketball Tournament. Much like the Americas Tournament in which the USA just defeated Argentina, the top 2 teams from Europe will automatically qualify for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Read more
