Give Reggie the $$$

In typical rookie form Reggie Bush is holding out of camp for the dinero. Now a lot of the time I think this is stupid and costly for the player, see Cedric Benson last year and how much PT he got after his hold out, but I lay this blame completely on the Saints. First off they weren't overly active in contract talks until this week, that is three months of sitting idle while you have a stud rookie that you should be frothing at the mouth at to figure out ways to utilize. Instead the Saints basically twiddled their thumbs and have the typical rookie holdout.

Mario Williams 6-yr 54 million (26.5 guaranteed)

Vince Young 6-yr 58 million (25.9 guaranteed)

It's pretty simple he better then both of those guys so combine their strong point of the contract and give him a 58 million dollar contract with 26.5 guaranteed. There you go simple contract and winner for both sides.

In other Reggie Bush news, that ESPN mobile commercial he is in is sweet. Where he's sitting on a couch with his buddies during a fantasy draft and his buddy drafts LJ, and he turns to him and goes "Dude that's messed up, I'm not even gonna go #1 in my own league, I won the Heisman", the dude then renegs picks Bush, to which Bush goes good I'll take LJ man your idiot, LJs ranked #1.

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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
