  • Cardinals baffle Manning, beat Giants (AP)

    Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Alan Branch(notes) (78) celebrates with teammate Chike Okeafor(notes) (56) after sacking New York Giants' Eli Manning(notes) (10) during the fourth quarter of an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009, in East Rutherford, N.J. The Cardinals won the game 24-17.

    The Arizona Cardinals conquered their House of Horrors with a new approach: scary defense. A team built around the passing of Kurt Warner and receiving of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin could be downright dominant with a stingy defense.

    Shelia Phillips doesn’t see the New Orleans that Mayor Ray Nagin talks about, the one on its way to having just as many people and a more diverse economy than it did before Hurricane Katrina. How could she?

    From the front porch of her house in the devastated Lower 9th Ward, it’s hard to see past the vegetation slowly swallowing the property across the way. Nearby homes are boarded up or still bear the fading tattoos left by search and rescue teams nearly four years ago. The fence around a playground a few blocks down is padlocked.
