Carlos Zambrano's a Little Cocky

Carlos Zambrano has proven to be an interesting offseason quote machine. First he enjoyed referring to himself in the 3rd person with regards to his contracts desire and now he's tossing out the guarantees. Perhaps one that has to do with a 99 year streak?

"I believe this year I will win the Cy Young, and I will enjoy that," Zambrano said "Beside that, we will win the World Series, I guarantee you that." All Headline News

Note to Carlos, the Cubs haven't won the World Series in 99 years and finished the 2006 season with the worst record in the entire National League last season. I understand that they went out and signed Soriano, Lee is healthy, and they added Lilly and Ponderosa, etc. but they doesn't mean they are going to win the World Series, and how meaningless is a guarantee at the beginning of the season. I just enjoy how Zambrano phrases everything. 'I will enjoy that', 'Beside that', quite humorous if you ask me. While he was throwing out absurd guarantees why didn't he say that neither Kerry Wood or Mark Prior would spend anytime on the DL this season. Now that's bold. I'd expect that one to come out in the 3rd person, kind of like this.

"Carlos guarantees Mark Prior is going to make 33 starts this year, Kerry will be dominant in the Pen and neither will spend anytime on the DL. Big-Z will enjoy that."

Although it might be valid, look at the picture, its apparent Carlos is in constant communication with God.

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.
