Benoit Story is All Over the Place

Every single second this Benoit story branches out into something different over the past few days here are just a few of the things that have come to light.

1. Mom Says Benoit Should Have Been Charged for Steroid Use

Basically the semblance of this story line is that the DEA had known for a given period of time that he was a steroid user and his mother believes that had they arrested him this would not have happened. Most likely a correct assumption. However, the DEA basically tries to assemble a case to take out the distributors of drugs rather than the users and had they arrested Benoit it would have been out of character and one really can't have possibly foreseen this crime at the DEA.

2. Benoit May Have Used Crippler Crossface

This is the most horrendous part of the story. It is believed that due to the bruises on the child that Benoit may in fact have killed his son using his signature wrestling move. This just takes the dementia and the craziness of Benoit to another level. I can't imagine someone being normal and snapping to the point where they kill their son with their own wrestling move. There had to be some sort of clues that he was a messed up man.

3. Mark Fuhrman Says It Wasn't a Murder-Suicide

Yes the Mark Fuhrman that helped OJ get off is actually an analyst on Fox News who friggin knew. The Wikipedia posting is overly curious however one would think the cops actually on the scene wouldn't F something up that bad. Here's the video below of him saying that he thinks there was probably someone else involved.



4. The Ultimate Warrior Talks Steroid Use

And Finally the Ultimate Warrior was on the same show proclaiming the difference between use and abuse of steroids etc. While most of the discussion between the the interviewers and "The Warrior" is incoherent the main point that I got out of it is that linking steroids to the cause of this tragedy just might be nonsense. You would have to believe that thousands upon thousands of athletes and wrestlers have taken the drugs in the past 20 years, and while its obvious that some of it have led to the premature deaths of the wrestlers, nothing close to this has ever happened. It makes me think that the roid rage angle is overly media driven and does not have much basis in the argument.

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.
