Arod Joins Ruth


Alex Rodriguez is currently on a chase to do something that hasn't been done since the Mick in '56, but last night he already matched a legendary Yankee. After smacking his 35th homer last night, Alex Rodriguez matched Babe Ruth as the only players in history to have 11 seasons with 35+ Home Runs and 100+ rbis.

Babe Ruth hit this plateau at the age of 37 in 1932 when he belted 41 dingers and 137 rbis in 133 games. Arod turns 32 on Friday. And granted Ruth spent much of his youth as a pitcher in Boston and didn't accomplish 35+ 100+ until he was 25 but it still highlights how great of a player Arod has been over the course of his career. His career numbers are staggering and his current season is amazing.

When he hits his 500th homer run sometime in the near future he will eclipse Jimmie Foxx as the youngest player to reach 500 hundred and he will do so by almost and entire year.

Toss a few rings on those fingers and a couple more Arod-esque years and he will be considered without question the greatest player to ever put on a baseball uniform.

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.
