National Voice on Arizona St. new QB, Ayton Future, Dodgers own D-backs…
IF I had been a betting man, Deandre Ayton can be celebrating his twenty-fourth birthday in July as a member of a staff not named the Phoenix Suns. Too dangerous, actually. How usually do you ship off a participant who isn’t even midway to thirty and was the primary general choose in 2018? Sure, Basic Supervisor James Jones did say on the finish of the season, “we wish to hold our consistency, our continuity.” Whereas I’d wish to have heard Jones say, 
“Deandre will probably be taking the opening soar in October,” it merely isn’t that simple after the flameout to Dallas. There’s NO WAY the Suns can run it again with the identical roster. Extra problematic are the oldsters who wish to argue that buying and selling Ayton will deliver again belongings(draft picks) to offer the Suns future flexibility. Um, the window is now…
With Ninety-four days to go till Arizona State soccer opens its season, I used to be in a position to get a breakdown and opinion on new Solar Satan switch quarterback Emory Jones from the extremely revered lens of ESPN school soccer analyst Tom Luginbill who additionally does work on the SEC Community with Sirius XM. 
“I truly thought Florida let the improper quarterback go,” he instructed me final Thursday. Luginbill used the phrase “streaky” when describing Jones, who left the Gators after Florida went with Anthony Richardson as their starter for the 2022 season. “I feel in the proper scenario, he’s going to be simply nice. He’s an incredible child and will probably be a pressure for the locker room and can give them again a few of that athleticism they’d with Jayden Daniels. The hope is you get way more consistency in efficiency with the passing sport from Jones than you probably did with Daniels”.
I had an in-depth dialog with Luginbill in regards to the view nationally of the Arizona State program, which I’ll share within the coming days on this house and on the Soccer AZ present on Bally Sports activities Arizona…
Eight losses to the identical staff within the final fourteen days with out displaying a lot struggle is just not one of the best ways to cease the “Beat LA” chants on the Huge Ballpark. In some unspecified time in the future, the Diamondbacks should bloody the Dodgers nostril in the event that they wish to persuade a fragile fan base that they’ll compete and cease the Huge Blue Conventions from being held in downtown Phoenix. Dropping 9 of 11 matchups, together with this present eight-game ,beat-down, isn’t the way in which to show the tide. Seven residence video games towards LA within the first seven weeks of the season introduced in round 150-thousand followers which suggests there have been about the identical variety of empty seats…
UArizona goes to the softball world collection in Oklahoma Metropolis. Arizona State got here inside a victory of being within the CWS as nicely. The game of softball is booming in our state.

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Christmas is over, but the stores and malls are busy one day later—shoppers either returning gifts that weren’t quite right or spending some of that holiday cash.
“A lot of the stores we went to, you had to wait in lines just to get from one store to the other,” said Jeannie Mac. “It was pretty busy.”
When you think of holiday shopping, you often think of items flying off the shelves.
“There are a lot of discounts at target, 50% off all decorations. You’d be surprised. The shelves are a little empty,” said shopper Joseph Caruana.
But the day after Christmas, many of those items end up back in-store. This year, returns are expected to add up to 17% of all merchandise sales, according to a recent report by the National Retail Federation. It’s about $890 billion in returned unneeded or unwanted gifts.
However, not everyone was there for returns or exchanges.
“Everyone enjoyed the presents, so didn’t have to return anything, thankfully,” said Max Miely.
Many people Arizona’s Family spoke with were mainly there looking to spend their holiday money, including Jenn Neild, who was visiting from Canada.
“We’re just looking around for some post Christmas deals, Boxing Day deals,” she said.
Boxing Day is traditionally a holiday similar to Black Friday, celebrated in the U.K. and Canada.
It was a good opportunity for shoppers who came out ready to use their holiday gift cards or, in other cases, to claim their Christmas gifts.
“We just went to go get my cousins ear pierced for her Christmas present and we’re going to be shopping for pajamas and different things,” said Morgan Uperesa, another shopper.
Because Dec. 26 and Dec. 27 are historically the busiest days for returns, the Better Business Bureau advises you to bring any receipts to the store.
If you don’t have one, they say you should know the rules on returns without it.

ARIZONA — Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon says the progress of running back James Conner has been “good” this week as the team prepares to battle the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17.
Gannon, however, wouldn’t elaborate more on Conner and didn’t reveal if he’d play in Saturday night’s primetime battle.
Conner is dealing with a knee injury suffered in the second half of Week 16’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, a 36-30 overtime defeat that saw Arizona’s postseason dreams officially end.
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said James Conner’s progression from his knee injury has been “good.”

Conner was a limited participant in the two prior practice days for Arizona and if he is again the same for Thursday, it’s likely he’ll officially be ruled questionable when the injury report drops later today.
“We’ll see how he goes throughout the week. I know he wants to play, so we’ll do what’s best for him first and then what’s best for the team,” Gannon said of Conner earlier this week.
Once again, Conner has been one of Arizona’s top players throughout the course of the season, once again eclipsing the 1,000-yard rushing mark as the engine of the Cardinals’ offense.
The ink just dried on Conner’s two-year extension to stay in Arizona, as the running back was set to test the free agent market before the Cardinals re-signed him earlier in the year.
If he can go, Conner hopes to help play the role of spoiler in Los Angeles, as the Rams can win the NFC West with a victory over Arizona and a little help.
