Who is Manny Corpas and Why is He Nasty?

Do you know who the Most Dominant Closer of the last month was?

If your answer was Manny Corpas then you sir, would be correct. Um who is Manny Corpas,is probably what you're saying to yourself. That's right the most dominant closer of the past month is someone who, chances are, you have never ever heard of and have no idea what team he pitches for.

First off he pitches for the Colorado Rockies, and he took over the closers job for the injured Brian Fuentes briefly before the all star break. Since than Corpas has compiled 8 saves and one extra inning victory while striking out 14 and only giving up a single run. So who is Manny Corpas and where in the world did this come from?

First off Corpas is a 24 year old from Panama City, Panama. Know who else is from Panama City, Panama? The greatest closer of all-time Mariano Rivera. Hmm, I wonder who his idle was growing up. The Rockies dipped for him at a young age and signed Corpas to a free agent contract when he was 16 in 1999. Last year in his rookie season he threw in 35 games to the tune of a 3.65 era and has lowered his era to 2.24 over 54 games this season.

Signs are pointing to Mr. Fuentes being out of a job once he comes back from the ole DL.

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.
