Memorial Day Weekend QuickNotes

Baseball

1) Thank you thank you thank you. Bonds hitting his 715th means espn won't cut into its programming and that other more important sporting events will lead Sportscenter episodes. There were two interesting things about the home run, first the fact that the radio announcers microphone went dead during the middle of the home run announcement. Was this the spite of Babe Ruth? The best part of #715 was that the guy who caught the ball was rewarded for getting more beer.

2) The Big Unit pitched really well yesterday. Is this him filling his one good start a month quota? I just do not get it you are confusing me either pitch well or pitch bad, don't get my hopes up and then get rocked for your first 4 starts in June.

NBA Playoffs

1) The Heat seemingly ran over the Pistons at home. How quickly until Wade's And One layup find its way onto a poster in every child in Miami's bedroom.

2) How about Ben Wallace going out and saying that Detroit doesn't practice defense enough and that's why they're defense is worse than it was last year. How about the fact you guys couldn't score at all in Miami? Extra offensive practice the issue there?

3) If the Heat collapse I think Shaq might kill someone.

4) The Suns desperately need Raja Bell, not necessarily because he is incredibly talented, more because they have a 7 man rotation with him, without him they are reaching for players on their bench who should not be playing.

5) Dallas is just plain better than Phoenix, if the Suns do in fact push it to game 7 like I predicted I will be shocked.

Weekend Humour

1) Ricky Williams has started practicing for the Toronto Argonauts. In addition to practice Ricky has decided to supplement his income by teaching Yoga lessons before Argonaut practices. Thank you Ricky for the stretching lessons.

2) As the Hot Summer Concert season rolls around only one thing is stealing headlines. Ron Artest is going to be an opening act for Young Jeezy and Mike Jones. Sign me up as a roadie.

3) The Marlins this weekend held a Jewish Heritage promotional game. In accordance they gave away Mike Jacobs shirts to people in attendence. This confused Jacobs as he is in fact not Jewish and when he asked the Marlins what was up they said that the two promotions were seperate. Yeah uh huh right. How about the fact you just assumed a man named Jacobs was Jewish. Thank you Marlins marketing staff for a good laugh.

4) Thank you New York Knicks for somehow always bringing me funny stories. This weekend, Stephon Marbury decided to say that he wanted to die a knick and want his ashes sprinkled on top of the Garden. Hopefully, a window washer will be employed that day and will quickly clean up the mess.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
