2007 NFL Awards Predictions

MVP: Tom Brady, Eventually this ass bag is going to win the MVP award. And if the Pats have the best record in the NFL they're going to give it to him. Especially if he played the Jets 16 games during the season.

Offensive Player of the Year: LT, There's no reason for LT to decline this season. Sure he won't put up the god numbers that he had last season but he should have around 20 touchdowns and a bunch of other surrounding stats.

Defensive Player of the Year: Troy Polamalu, I'm going with the long haired wonder again this season to fly through and make a ton of plays. Whether they be sacks or INTs, Polamalu should have a big season.

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Adrian Peterson, I loved Apete coming into the season and drafted him in the 5th round of both of my fantasy drafts and through the first weekend I'm pumped about it. Him and Calvin Johnson could have a battle for rookie of the year.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Laron Landry, Landry had a stellar career at LSU and as one of the aggressive safeties for the Redskins he should be given many opportunities to make plays.

NFL Comeback Player of the Year: Donovan McNabb, I'm not sure what they define as comeback, whether its devastating injury like McNabb or just coming back and having a stud season after a few down years like say Randy Moss. If it's injury based than I think McNabb wins it if it's either injury or re-emergence as an elite player than it will be Moss.

Kicker of the Year: Shayne Graham, Ya that's right bring back the kicker of the year category. Simply so a redhead can win an award.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

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...
