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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
