I'm Inches Away From Being TIME Person of the Year

Well that's certainly not true. But I did find it funny that me finding and posting a video of a dude knocking out another dude with a single kick could get linked at TIME.com for a related blog post to their article. And that a lil old SimonOnSports link could be an inch away from a link to the TIME Person of the Year.

Humorous Google Searches to Lead to SOS

My Favorite: Google Search Something Fun to Do and there's my link to something fun to do while pissing. Don't know if that was what they were looking for.

Either my buddy Brent Shannon is either very much interested in himself or there are a few people out there trying to stalk him down as that has led to 81 hits over the past month. Oh and Barrett was on the web searching for himself. And best yet is Walker posing for playgirl?

As Jose Maria Olazabal was his Spanish predecessor in golf he also was his predecessor in getting linked here for a homosexual search. That's right Sergio Garcia Homosexual google search hits up SimonOnSports.

Some other favorites: Kei Igawa Sucks, Justine Henin Herpes, Caught masterbating (probably cause I spelled it wrong), I Hate Steve Phillips.

Countries I've Learned Hits to SOS

I installed Google Analytics in mid may to go with the previously installed Statcounter. The Combo is cool and they show some different stuff. My favorite part about analytics is this map and the fact it holds all the data. Anyway the website is giving me a geography lesson.

Have you ever heard of Eritrea before? I didn't think so.

Mostly it's a lesson in tiny pieces of land like Turks and Caicos, Antigua and Barbuda, Gibraltar, Bahrain, and Malta.

Below is the little map on analytics that shows what countries I've registered hits at which include 3 from Iraq, woo. North Korea you're next. And where's the Khazakhi love?

Oh and that SPIKE ad that pops up every once in awhile about the Sexiest Bartenders is pretty pimp.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

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...
