Week #1 College Football Thoughts

Best Play: If you didnt see the massive hit laid on a USC kickoff returner by an Arkansas defender go and try to find it online, he got JACKED UP.

Dumb Ass O'The Week: Bobby Petrino, Way to go and get your Heisman Trophy Candidates leg broken in the first week of the season against a team you were mauling at the time. Great Move jackass.

Dope of the Week: Lee Corso, How's that Cal's going to win the National Championship pick treating you.

Bonehead Play of the Week: Mikey Henderson, Moments of Premature celebration in footbal are hilarious, and Henderson provided a classic holding out the ball before he crossed the goal line then losing the ball and fumbling it through the end zone for a touchback. Luckily for himself he ran the next punt back for a touchdown, to redeem himself.

Biggest Loser: Colorodo Buffalos, Ha not only did you lose to a team from Montana, but on top of that they are 1AA team that takes such games solely to get a paycheck and not to win. Wow you just made their season congrats to a good start Danny Hawkins.

Biggest Winners: Tennessee Vols, It pains me to say this but Tennessee had the best week in college football. I really wanted them to lose but not only did they not lose but they crushed Cal.

Borefest: FSU Miami, If you like tackles for a loss, zero rushing yard and punts then this was your matchup.

New Clock Rule

In case you didn't notice College Football has made some rules adjustments to quicken up the pace of the game. Most of these rules are unnoticeable, such as the clock starts at the contact of the kick on a kickoff instead of when a player touches the ball, but the biggest change is that the clock runs on change of possessions, aka after punts, ints, etc. Last night this cost Miami extra time on the clock and eliminated any possible suspense. I just don't get why they decided to tinker with things, who was complaining about the length of the game, especially coming off one of the best national championship games of all time.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

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...
