March Madness of Ugly

My old roommate Swallowman sent me a link to a Boston radio's site where they are embarking on an NCAA March Madness of Ugly. Anyway seemed fun enough so I'll break down my choices for the Sweet 16 they are currently at.

Sweet 16 Worthy

Popeye Jones: Popeye is one ugly man. Is that picture that far off, I think not. And what's up with the different eye level heights.

Ronaldinho: Deadspin recently posted an article where people in some South American country erected a statue of Ronaldinho as a horse and the depection was almost spot on in the face.

Charlie Villanueva: What a first round exit in favor of Patrick Ewing, that's just not right. Chucky is arguably the ugliest man in the NBA right now. Dudes got eyebrows made of bone and not hair. He should have dominated that bracket.

Sweet 16

Sam Cassell vs. Dan Shaghnessy: Really no competetion here. Sure Shaugnessy looks like a scrawny no steroid version of Carrot Top but he's only lasted this far because of weak competetion, and it's Boston. Although Dennis Johnson in the first rounds a little rough, hopefully that was completed prior to his massive heart attack. Anyway Sam Cassell is world class ugly. Uglier: Cassell

Chyna vs. Randy Johnson: Holy sh*t is this one tough. And Chyna knocked off Popeye Jones in the last round too, thats an accomplishment. As ugly as Randy Johnson is, his mullet is gone and Chyna is just so not attractive. Randy Johnson should be a final 4 participant unfortunately he was in the wrong bracket. Uglier: Chyna

Willy McGee vs. Greg Popovich: Willy will be the first #1 seed to go down. Willy is a goofy looking dude, but Popovich looks like he would scare children away with his face. Imagine waking up and see Popovich in your closet as an 8 year old, wouldn't you be scarred for life. Uglier: Popovich

Reggie Miller vs. Bill Walton: Personally this is the weakest portion of the bracket, as neither of these guys are that ugly. Well Reggie in his prime was a little anorexic. Considering for a period of time I built out the beard, red uncurly fro, and wore headbands, Walton style, Reggie gets the nod. Uglier: Reggie

Otis Nixon vs. Kurt Warner's Wife: I'm not that cruel, Warner's wife did have a lot of cancer and I'll give that as an excuse for why she had the grey crew cut. Uglier: Otis

Julian Tavarez vs. John Cheney: Red Sox pitcher, hmm. Ya chalk him. John Cheney is very old, sure he's a little odd looking but I think the oldness compounds it. Tavarez is just flat out ugly. Uglier: Tavarez

Jorge Cantu vs. Billy Jean King: Billy Jean King looks like a butch man right now. Cantu is just mexican so we'll give him a break. Uglier: BJK

Gheorge Muresan vs. Rebecca Lobo: Talk about two people you wouldn't want to see together in the post. If they mated would they create a mutant 8 foot 3 inch monster of ugly. Muresan doesn't look mentally there but he is, therefore he loses. Uglier: Gheorge

Elite 8

Sam Cassell vs. Chyna: Once again the toughest competetion comes from this bracket as Cassell and Chyna both have all time talent. In the end it's Sam, he's just a dominant force of ugly. Uglier: Cassell

Gregg Popovich vs. Reggie Miller: Pop had no competetion in this bracket after Chucky V's early and surprising exit. Pop walks over Reggie to the finals. Uglier: Popovich

Otis Nixon vs. Julian Tavarez: Not an exciting matchup. Tavarez is a scrub and Otis Nixon is an afterthought of a baseball player right now. Tavarez wins this because he's active and ugly. Uglier: Tavarez

Billy Jean King vs. Gheorge Muresan: Come on, I know she's a man, but not really an ugly man, just a man. Muresan now he's a championship contender. Uglier: Muresan

Final 4

Sam Cassell vs. Gregg Popovich: Popovich is a tough matchup for Cassell but lets be honest Cassell is thanking his lucky stars that he's not facing Chucky V right now. This one goes to the wire but Cassell takes it home. Uglier: Cassell

Julian Tavarez vs. Gheorge Muresan: Nobody likes seeing a blowout in the Final 4 but this is exactly what it is. Muresan faced steeper competetion in Lobo in the Sweet 16. Uglier: Muresan

Championship: Sam Cassell vs. Gheorge Muresan

And it all comes down to this a matchup between two icons of ugly, one a 7 foot 6 giant who looks menatally, well you know, the other a child of a fish and an alien. In the end Gheorge gets the pass based on the fact he is foreign and 7 foot 6 how could he not be ugly.

Congrats to Sam Cassell Champion of Ugly

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.
