Sources: The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who 10 months ago signed a contract extension through the 2027 season.

The Cardinals still never have had a head coach - any head coach - last longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years.

They should then trade Murray and burn it all down. That organization just reeks.

I am hoping to get back home around March. The entire family hasn't been up there since August 2020 when my uncle passed away. We are due for a trip home!
- Stripes77


Hopefully were still good in march ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sorry about your uncle.

Good timing for the vanek goathead jersey.

Where you sitting?

There's tickets for $30 still plus fees.
Seems ridiculously low for this product.

I can't wait to watch Risto tonight
- TheSabresTaco


I just checked his stats - it looks like he got the first 2 points of the year recently. I remember the days of people arguing that he was a legit PP QB. The funny thing about that trade is that I think that Hagg is actually a better defenseman.

Has there been anyone in recent memory that was on as many bad teams as Risto? I actually feel for the guy.

I bet arizona wished they could fire Murray too. ๐Ÿค”

Kyler could be the worst nfl contract other then watson.

That's a pretty good one. I dare say that Skinner was on some decent teams that didn't miss by much. It is kind of funny that they were better both before he got there and then after he left.

I'm in your head....

Which jersey should I choose ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

I'd go dahlin as day long.....

If your 6'4 or more, consider a tage or power Jersey.

Trade him and Krebs for a RD!
- RichardRoma


Oh so we are now trading Krebs?

So we moved on from olofsson, girgensons, and who else am I missing.

Moving Krebs would be a major mistake

Watching hardknocks during this past season and itโ€™s currently running on hbo

You could just tell Kyler is a kind of a weird dude and not a leader and the entire organization was a mess.

I would turn that 22 bucks in 23 in a couple hours.

2 playoff bound teams (currently)

Wonder what's up?

- Boss34


Could it be as simple as it is Monday night of a work week?

I got home from the Washington game at 11:30.

Would never do that if I had work the next day.

I was low on Krebs until the last month but now I've come around on him. If you have a chance to get another good young D you move him without thinking about it. You have to give to get. We are top-heavy with forward prospects.

KA and company are going to have to make a decision on him or Mitts by next season IMO.

I don't see Krebs sticking on the 4th line past this season.

I either read or heard somewhere that the dead cap hit for letting Wilson go the next two years is astronomical. The better option seems to be seeing if Jim Harbaugh can coach him up next season.

You really think the Sabres demote upl?

Wow, unless that's inside stuff, I do not see that happening.

Aside from being 8-1 (or whatever) lately, the vibes are full blown with this guy.

They've been waiting for someone to take control, upl has put his foot in the door and will not let it close on him.

Plus, we have an overwhelming number of games heading our way. Good chance to mix in 3 guys IMO.

I think clague, fitz and elmer are looking over their shoulders. Maybe vinny hinny ?

You see any of these guys getting claimed?

keeping 3 goalies is unorthodox in the regular season.

He was good on the PP. He isn't afforded PP time this year, and imagine that, he's almost pointless in more ways than one.

Only wanting to buy one UFA season is something...
- kingcong39

Player has a say as well. Cozens may not want a 7-8 year deal.

It works for both sides for 5 years.

Itโ€™s a gamble for the Sabres for sure.
