Were the Phoenix Suns missing something bigger than what the box score showed against the Spurs?

Without Dillon Brooks, the Suns don’t look aligned — and it was concerning on both ends of the floor. The edge. The toughness. The identity. It felt different. It’s why Brooks avoiding any more suspensions due to technicals is imperative to the team’s push for the playoffs.

In this video, we break down:

Why the Suns’ energy and defensive identity felt off

The leadership and “dawg” mentality Dillon Brooks brings

How Brooks must stay on the court

If he can’t stay on the court, the Suns are facing a big issue in the final 26 games. How do they keep their edge?

If you’re a Suns fan, you’ve seen it. The question is: can Brooks stay on the court and how do they keep their intensity?

Aaron Rodgers to the Arizona Cardinals?

Is this blockbuster move a bold gamble… or a TOTAL franchise disaster waiting to happen? 🏈

Rumors are swirling about Aaron Rodgers potentially landing with the Arizona Cardinals — but would this actually set the franchise back instead of moving it forward?

In this video, we break down:

🔥 Why Rodgers might NOT be the right fit in Arizona

📉 The financial and locker room implications

⏳ Timeline concerns with an aging QB

📊 How this impacts the NFC playoff picture

But there is another former Green Bay Packer with Cards connections that could fit the bill…

One that makes MORE sense for the Cardinals’ long-term future. Younger. Cheaper. Development upside. Scheme flexibility.

Is Arizona about to make a headline-grabbing mistake? Or is this front office playing 4D chess?

The Arizona Cardinals have been unusually quiet — and it’s starting to raise real questions.

From limited media availability to being part of the push that led to the end of the National Football League Players Association team report cards, the Cardinals’ lack of transparency has fans wondering what’s really happening behind closed doors. Why the silence? And what does it say about the direction of the franchise?

With a massive decision looming around Kyler Murray, getting this moment right could define the next era of Cardinals football. Is the organization trying to control the narrative before making a franchise-altering move? Or is there more going on beneath the surface than they’re willing to share publicly?

On this episode of Southwest Bias, Espo breaks down the media blackout, the fallout from the NFLPA report cards disappearing, why the stakes are incredibly high if the Cardinals are considering any major roster decisions involving their former franchise quarterback and the importance of getting something in return for him.

👇 Do you think the Cardinals are hiding something — or just staying strategic? Drop your take in the comments.
