Quick Take: Bernie & Mo

Bernie Williams Debacle

Brian Cashman messed this one up. Bernie hit .281 last season with decent power numbers and is a historic Yankee and instead of honoring him with the final spot of the roster he signed Dougie Minkowitz. Now Bernie is either going to be relegated to play for some scrub team or retire, all in all not a very quality deal for #51. I'm annoyed by it, mostly because Andy Philips and Minkowitz are terrible hitters, but once the season starts it will fly right over my head.

Give Mo the Money

If Mariano Rivera says he wants money, then give him the friggin money. Tell him 3 years 15 per then you can fade off into the sunset. Prior to the season would be the smart idea, but for some reason the Yanks don't do contract extensions prior to the season. How about an exception for the most important player on your roster for the past 10 years? I don't think that would have that major of an effect on future situations where players have extensions. In the long run I see the Yanks giving Rivera whatever he wants, but why wait?

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.
