It's Cool to Be Rich: E. Stanley Kroenke

The newest fad for obsenely wealthy sports addicted billionaires in America is to just cross the pond and buy a sweet English Premiership team. The newest member of this club is E Stanley Kroenke, an obscenely rich man that somehow flew under my radar. Kroenke this week purchased a 9.99% share in the London based Premiership club Arsenal, which last year lost in the finals of the Champions League, aka their pretty good. They typically have a chance to win the premiership every year and rarely finish below 4th.

Anyway what I didn't know was how many friggin franchises this dude owns. First of all, he started a succesful Real Estate company, but his wife just happens to be a Walton, aka an heirass to the Walmart cash. So he's loaded. Anyway, he Co-Owns the St. Louis Rams, owns the Nuggets, Avalanche, Colorado Rapids of the MLS, Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League, and Co-Owns the AFL Colorado Crush team. Jeebus that's a lot of franchises. No way he pays that much attention to how the Colorado Mammoth are doing. Man it's cool to be rich.

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.
