Weekly Waste of Oxygen

Another fun week in the world where you have to wonder why some people ever talk, why others are ever allowed to talk and why some are just plain jackasses. Here are your weeks candidates:

1. Asashoryu - Think about what Barry Bonds would do in the offseason if he was asked to do some extra exhibition games around the US. He would say oh no sorry guys but I need to rest my injuries. Asashoryu, a Mongolian Yokuza did the exact same thing. The Problem? He played in a charity soccer game right after he said he had a stress fracture in his back. Dumb ass.

2. Pac 10 Presidents - What is one thing that almost every college football fan in America thinks is a good idea and 4 of the 6 conferences are contemplating? Oh the plus one game, everyone loves that idea. Except for the damn Pac 10 presidents who say they will pull out of the BCS if this happens. Assholes.

3. Bud Selig - Look at me, I'm Bud Selig, I'm such a hard working and diligent commissioner that I went to 8 Barry Bonds games waiting for that schmuck to hit 755 and only took a few games off here and there. Shut your yap Bud no one wants to hear how hard it is to go to baseball games for free.

4. Pete Rose - Invite Pete Rose to speak at your baseball camp and you just might hear stories of how he has seen Joe Dimaggio's wang and how Marge Schott stiffed him out of his will. Oh he'll be kind enough to drop a few F bombs at the kids. So get him while you can I'm sure his asking price is reasonable.

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...
