Weekly Waste of Oxygen

I thought this was going to be a poor week for the Weekly Waste and then someone long since heard from comes out of the woodwork and does something so profoundly stupid, turning the awards interesting. Here are our contestants:

1. Antoine Walker - Antoine you seriously got jacked at a traffic light? Where the hell were you driving, you don't seem as if you were ever "from the streets". Sucks for you that some of the massive contract you made but didn't really earn was thieved away.

2. NCAA - The NCAA laid down the law this week and sanctioned Oklahoma for the Rhett Bomar scandal, aka getting paid for doing nothing kind of like me at work this week. They told the Sooners that their wins in 2005 don't count. Um what does that do? Such a waste of time.

3. All of Uruguay - Basically these cats just can't take losing in international tournaments very well. First their U-20 team tries to start a fight with team America after a 2-1 loss and then their senior team tries to start a fight with Brazil after losing on PKs in the Copa America. Losers.

4. Lonny Baxter - Things that you probably shouldn't contemplate doing; firing a weapon in close proximity to the the white house and sending multiple firearms via fedex. Apparently the 4 years at Maryland and the national title didn't serve to increase his intelligence.

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...
