It's Not A Toomah It's a Torn ACL

And the G-Men find themselves one more Wideout down as Amani Toomer has been diagnosed with a partial tear in his ACL and has been placed on injured reserve. This puts more pressure on the remainder of the Giants offense and makes Plaxico's back issues even more crucial and puts added receiving responsibility on the shoulders of Jeremy Shockey.

Toomer suffered the injury during the Texans game away from the ball when he broke out of his out route and limped off the field. He would later return to the game but obviously not at full strength. Reportedly Toomer has decided, according to 1050 ESPN radio, to undergo surgery in order to prolong his career past the 2006 season.

Tim Carter will now be thrust into the role as #2 wideout but when you look at the Giants roster they do not have very good options for #3 wideout with the current health question marks behind David Tyree and Second Round Draft selection Sinorice Moss. Currently Mike Jennings, who?, will be slotted into the third wideout position on any spread options the Giants may run. If I'm a Giant fan this makes me worrisome and certainly makes me wish that I in fact did grab Keyshawn when the Giants were in pursuit during the offseason. The Texans game came out as a W but the loss of Toomer for the season and the injury to Michael Strahan could leave the Giants scrambling to hold on to their current 2 game division lead.

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.
