Here’s what went down Tuesday on G&A
Cardinals Championship Week!
A listener e-mailed Gambo and said he would tattoo “Gambo” on left butt-cheek and “Ash” on his right for those lower-level NFC Championship tickets this weekend. Nice!
STILL No Respect - With the Cards’ focus off Carolina and now pointed squarely on the big, bad Philadelphia Eagles. Gambo is amazed in a recent article The New York Times cited Cards’ head coach “Ron Whisenhunt.” Huh? The guys agree the Eagles may be overlooking the Birds-this being the same team they smoked 48-20 on Thanksgiving night. Some people back east are calling this weekend’s game a “walk-thru” for Philly. The Eagle fans’ called in and reiterated what G&A believe-no one east of the Mississippi is taking the Cards’ seriously…still.
Cinderella No More? - The Cardinals are underdogs again this weekend, but the guys wonder just how much longer Arizona can/will be “flying under the radar.” Ken Whisenhunt’s team has been living off the “no respect factor” angle the entire playoffs. Will the trend continue Sunday against the nails-tough Eagles? G&A believes it will. Ash said he would trade a Super Bowl Championship for 10-consecutive losing seasons. Why? It’s simple, that’s what’s happened the past 10 years anyway so what’s the difference? We took calls.
We caught up with Cardinals starting middle linebacker Gerald Hayes. Hayes had an interception and a tackle for loss in Saturday’s win over the Panthers in Carolina. He explained how he grew up a Giants fan…but wasn’t on Sunday.
ESPN Radio 950 in Philly host Jody McDonald joined the guys to give an East Coast perspective on the NFC Championship Game. He explained the Eagles will likely look to slow down Larry Fitzgerald by rolling a safety to help out in coverage-something Carolina didn’t do on Saturday. Jody Mac said the Eagles have one thing in mind: a Super Bowl Championship after several close calls in recent years.
BONUS: That’s Why We Come In Here

Now that University of Phoenix Stadium is SOLD OUT.
We need to lobby to put the game on the Biggest HD screen in Arizona.
Lets have the game on a 136-feet-by-46-feet high definition LED screen.
Lets make CHASE FIELD the biggest sports bar in all the world.
Put the game on the Chase Field HD Screen
and have 20 to 30,000 fans together watching the game on the biggest HD screen in the Arizona.
Beers, Food and a Big Screen NFC Championship Game what more could you ask for.
Call Sony to put the screen in 3-D like the tests they did this year in the NFL.
Get the commissioner involved in to make this happen.
You are saying this is the biggest sports event in Phoenix and Arizona, let’s make it that way by setting up the biggest sports bar ever seen.
BTW It will all be a rehearsal to to the same thing for the Superbowl at BOTH University of Phoenix Stadium and Chase Field on SuperSunday, February 1, 2009
when our Birds migrate South to Raymond James Stadium to bring back the Lombardi Trophy.
Now wouldn’t that be something……
