Random Quicknotes

~Pacman Jones is the definition of a Sparkling Wiggle. You can toss in Tank Johnson and Chris Henry into that equation as the NFL is going to start their new anti-sparkling wiggle campaign in the next week or so.

~So who's pumped with the Yankees opening day rotation. With Wang down for a month and Pettite's back aching along with Karstens complaining of arm soreness here's looking at Pavano or Igawa on opening day. Supplemented by Rasner at the back end of the rotation. Ugh.

~Van Gundy is a friggin moron. He said he thinks that the NBA Lottery should be open to every team. Ya cause that would be fair and intelligent for the NBA. Could you imagine if Lebron and Oden were teamed up for the foreseeable future. Or if the Mavs picked up Oden or the Suns picked up Durant. Why don't you just flush the Celtics, Grizz and other terrible franchises down the toilet. Even more laughable is he wants everyone to have the same chance of winning the lottery.

~My take on Jaws entering the booth instead of Theisman is that it is an improvement as Theisman can be very annoying but that I won't care that much. Honestly I don't watch much Monday Night Football because A) I watch non stop football saturday and sunday typically and B) They don't have very good games usually. Hell one of their opening night games this year is the Cards vs. the 49ers. That game's intriguing, false.

~Uconn got dominated last night by the LSU minus their player dating former coach.

~Scroll down and watch Rasheed's pimp shot if you haven't seen it yet.

~Takeo Spikes I would think is a solid pickup for the Eagles.

~The Knicks got boned on a non-goaltending call and proceeded to lose, quite humurous.

~Bruce Pearl has been given permission to talk to Iowa, note to Bruce that's not an upgrade, don't bother. Kentucky would be an upgrade, but good luck not being seen as a complete villain and getting killed in your travels to Knoxville.

~Speaking of flushing down the toilet, the Sonics have officially entered tank mode by sidelining Ray Allen for the season due to "bone spurs" give me a friggin break.

~If you haven't seen the end of the DII Championship game from this weekend its a much watch.

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...

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...
