No I Do Not Want to Sex Mutombo

Apparently the Celtics had offered Dikembe Mutombo a veterans minimum contract earlier this week, but with their signing of Scott Pollard yesterday it may have signaled that Mutombo wanted to stay in Houston. Um ok, how about they both are about 8 years past their prime and neither would be much help to the team.

Note to Danny Scott Pollard averaged 1 point per game last season for the Cavs, who didn't exactly have the best big men on the bench. Oh and Dikembe is only 7 years younger than you and you retired 12 years ago. Do the math.

Last year Danny Ainge seemed to be only concerned with racking up people with track like speed, see Rondo and Telfair. This year he seems to be totally engorged with signing players that have had a name in the NBA at one point regardless of where they currently are in their careers. Super.

If Scott Pollard gets more than 10 minutes per game the Celtics are doomed.

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...
