The Open Championship Preview

4 People to Watch to Contend

Obvious - Tigger Woo - Well pretty much every tournament Tigger Woo is a contender, although I'm pretty sure this course is not on his video game so he will have to substantially work on his familiarty with the layout while Saint Andrews is definately in the game, as shown by his performance last year, countless people helped Tiger Woods practice by fiddling with their joysticks.

Doble Down? - Geoff Ogilvy - I expect the US Open Champ to be right there at the British, I don't think he will win but I am expecting a top 15 finish.

Go Irieman - Padraig Harrington - He just might be the best player on the tour not to have a major or really ever seriously contend this week he'll be up there in the standings, or maybe his cousin will make another World Series of Poker final table, one of the two will happen.

Kickin off the Rust - Lee Westwood - Sure he has played terrible this year and hasn't made a cut since before the Masters, but good ole Lee is going to be in the running. I had to pick atleast one brit, this was most likely not the one to pick.

3 People to Hit the Fan

Ain't Gonna Happen - Sergio Garcia - Remember when Sergio was the next guy. The guy that was going to be Tiger's heated rival. Well he actually was just an annoying Spanish guy who stood over the ball for about an hour each shot. Well now he makes the cut in almost every event but never really truly threatens. Expect a finish between 20-30 and basically only shown in the coverage cause he is wearing some fruity shirt on sunday.

I'm an Idiot - Phil Mickelson - He never does particularly well in Britain and lets face it do you expect him to fully bounce back after his complete and epic collapse. I don't hence I expect him to be just slightly over the cut line and never really contend.

Piece Out Africa - Retief Goosen - Struggling Retief is going to miss the cut I repeat miss the cut. Possibly.

2 People to Root For

The Brit - Monty - He was a complete idiot and shat the bed in the US Open but you have to root for Monty to have a good weekend. He looks like that old british butler you've always wanted.

Locale Boy - JJ Henry - It's a common weekly theme. JJ qualified for the Open after his win in Hartford and somehow someway sits at #6 in the Rider Cup Rankings. Who knew, maybe his first trip to Britain can end up in a top 20.

1 Winner

VAJAY - This time I'm going with the Vajmeister. He's due for a major. He hasn't grabbed one since the 2004 PGA but if you haven't noticed he has finished in the Top 10 in every Major since. SO basically he's always there, and this will be the week he puts it all together to grab the Claret Jug.

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.
