Thursday Quicknotes

~I have two articles from this week posted at EC check them out if you like, one is on the NBA's newest lamest slogan and the other is on the new gay fedex cup.

~Hooray Revis is actually signed and at camp. Now the Jets can hopefully work him into the defense so he can contribute this season. That took way way too long to get done.

~How many days do you think you'll ever be able to say Shelley Duncan > Mariano Rivera? Well he was at least for a day yesterday when he jacked a 3 run homer and Mo, well he sucked.

~BGBbB should be Erik Bedard's Cy Young Slogan. Bedard's Getting Boned by Bullpen.

~The Oreo's own the Yanks this season, it seems like every year the Yanks struggle with one of the three others in the AL East, this year it's obviously the Oreos.

~Sheffield coming back to New York is fun. He reiterated his statements about Torre treating black people unfairly. Maybe he'll get drilled, I doubt it, he'll most likely have a huge series.

~Someone in the NL sign Boomer Wells, I want to see him run to 1st base again, it's funny.

~NL Central 06-07 = NBA Atlantic 06-07, they both suck and someone is going to make the playoffs by default when they don't deserve to.

~My Mexican wonder Yovani's first 53 innings, 15 runs. His last 8.1 innings, 18 runs. Ouch.

~Man U certainly is getting off on the wrong foot. Ha, that was a good play on words. Not only have they only garnered a draw in both games but Wayne Rooney fractured his foot and Cristiano Ronaldo drew a red card in their second game. Solid start. Meanwhile Chelsea have won both of their first games and have already opened up a 4 point lead. [That's me Smiling]

~Not sure how many of you care to watch premiership highlights but you can watch them here.

~Dan Patrick is on his farewell tour tomorrow, it should be a good listen.

~If you ever go to grad school and their is something called an intensive class, think long and hard about whether you want to take them. They suck balls. I will be in class from 9-4 on saturday wanting to put a bullet in my head.

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...
