NFL Week 11 Awards

Week 11 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: St. Louis Rams, I wasn't a big time believer of the Rams even after they got off to the 4-1 start. But I am pretty surprised that they have lost 5 games in a row. And they didn't even put up a fight this weekend. Steven Jackson had only 27 yards on 7 carries, the Rams only had 111 total yards. Just miserable, now they're even behind the 49ers in the standings. Runners Up: Seattle's rush defense got gashed to the tune of 212 on 24 carries from Frank Gore pathetic, Detroit sure knows how to position themselves for a high draft pick.

Cough Cough Cough: New York Quarterbacks, as bad as Eli Manning was on National Televesion last night consistently making bad throws including a ton of his typical high throws, Pennington was worse. He killed their best drive near the goal line with an INT. He killed their next best drive with a terribly thrown screen pass right to the safety. And he didn't throw a single deep ball the whole game. Runners Up: Vanderweenie once again proves how unclutch he is, Dunta Robinson said it best Losman is no Manning you can't let him get a last second td.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Jim Mora Sr., Ok Michael Vick just might in fact be a coach killer but how oh how are you possibly going to help your son by saying this. First off Vick is the franchise like it or not, they gave him a huge contract and he's the face of the Falcons so he is not going anywhere. With that being said all you are doing is creating unnecesary conflict between the coach and the franchise. So unless Jr. can smoothen it out this year, then Jr. just might be out the door come January. Runner Up: Speaking of Moras Jr's decision to continue to kick to Sams resulted in 3 50+ yard returns not intelligent, Gary Gibbs maybe you should have double teamed Chad Johnson all game.

The Shocker: Tennessee Titans, well it's not surprising that they won after Donovan went down but still it was my survivor pool pick. And I can't think of why anyone would have picked the Titans to go into Philly and beat a team that needed a victory very badly. But when your whole offense tears his ACL there goes the game and the season. Runners Up: San Francisco just gashing the Seahawks and holding onto a 20-0 lead, Carolina utterly dominating the Rams.

The Pimp: LaDainian Tomlinson, I might as well write this on sunday morning every week. Does he ever not have a huge game anymore? 19 touchdowns in 6 games? 6 games? Thats great high school running back numbers no one does that, that's not even fathomable. He's going to trash Shaun Alexander's td record. Runners Up: Lee Evans did anybody else see the bottom line on CBS and see that Evans had 206 yards while the game you were watching was still in the first quarter, Ocho Cinco once again proving how aerodynamic he is minus the mohawk 190 3 tds.

You Got JAKKED UP: Terrence Newman, This is the potential #1 Jakked up moment of 2006. On a Punt Return Newman got lifted about five feet in the air after he got hit, he was even taken out of the game for awhile.

My Fantasy MVP: Ocho Cinco & Drew Brees, I had another super week thanks to Ocho Cinco and Drew Brees. Hell I have Frank Gore and Willie Parker as well and they had great games too.

New York Jets MVP: Jets Defense, Obviously the Offense didn't do much to keep the Jets in the game. The D had their best game of the season by far and only had one terrible play which went against them. The proble was, the field goal after the on side kick was enough to stand up for the Bears.

My Picks

My Picks: 9-7
Preseason Picks: 11-5
Picks Vs. Spread: 9-7

Back in the positives in every column this week, not stellar but certainly a good start.

Week 11 Extra Quick Notes

~Um the 49ers are 5-5? How?

~The Bears are the only team in the NFC with a record better than 6-4, think they're getting homefield throughout, so do I.

~No matter what your expectations were for the season, whenever your team has a chance to make the playoffs and doesn't its a disappointing season. Prior to the season I thought the Jets would go 6-10, now if they had beaten the Bears they could have had the opportunity to flip that around and go 10-6, and it will be disappointing if they fall short.

~How about Tony Romo? Bill Parcells apparently is still a good coach and knows what he is doing.

~Aaron Rodgers was bad and then broke his foot.

~Goodnight Philly, atleast the Big Boy Howard won the MVP.

~Vikings proving they are a very bad team.

~When will Troy Smith go in the draft, I think people that label him a running quarterback have not watched a single Ohio St. game this season. He rarely runs and typically just moves around to avoid pressure in the pocket. He will be a better than average NFL QB. He should not fall to the 2nd round.

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...
