NFL Week 1 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: Baltimore Ravens Offense, Things you probably don't want to start the season off doing; throwing two interceptions and fumbling away the ball 4 times. Your defense is good, but it isn't good enough to overcome that. Throw in the fact that Ed Reed scored one of the Ravens touchdowns and their offense just sucks. Runners Up: Kansas City Chiefs putting up 3 points against Houston nice job, New York Defenses apparently if you're in New York you forgot how to rush the quarterback.

Cough Cough Cough: Joey Harrington, If someone told you Joey Harrington was going to lead a team to victory by throwing two touchdown passes, the typical football fan would say wow good for the Falcons and Joey Harrington stepping up for the Dog Fighter. The smart football fan would say, which Vikings returned the interceptions for touchdowns? Runners Up: ButterFingers McNair with 3 fumbles and a pick, Saints Cornerback Jason David who forgot that he is no longer a Colt.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Romeo Crennel, At some point in time Romeo is going to realize that if his team sucks yet again that they he's going to be on the unemployment line and he won't be getting another head coaching job anytime soon. Atleast if he plays Brady Quinn he has a built in excuse for why they suck, and maybe just maybe if they go like 7-9 he'll be able to keep his job. So start playing Quinn. Runner Up: The Officials in the Ravens game for calling Hype on Offensive Pass Interference on what should have been a TD reception, To Philadelphia Punt returners who were the sole reason for their team losing you can fair catch the ball.

The Shocker: Houston Texans, Yes I know many people thought the Chiefs were going to be bad this season, and I even I had them at 6-10 but I didn't expect a 20-3 beatdown at the hands of the Texans. Runners Up: The Titans going into Jax and shocking the Jags perhaps Leftwich should have started, The Saints scoring 3 points on offense against the defending Superbowl champs.

The Pimp: Tony Homo, the Homo looked good probably because the Giants were falling a part left and right and because they aren't very good when healthy either. Runners Up: Peyton Manning certainly torched his former teammate with ease, The Pats O-Line they manhandled the Jets for the entire 60 minutes.

You Got JAKKED UP: Rex Grossman, As soon as a tuned int o the Bear Charger game the Bears decided that they were not going to block the Chargers left end and let him get a free run helmet into Grossman's chest. Solid strategy.

My Fantasy MVP: Eli Manning, I hyped up Eli big time for this fantasy season and drafted as one of my two QBs in both leagues and he certainly came through week 1 against the dreadful Cowboy defense. I just hope that the Giants reports are more accurate than the ESPN reports.

New York Jets MVP: Chad Pennington, Unlike the rest of the dickehead Jet fans I plan on acknowledging the fact that Pennington was the best Jet on the field this weekend. He didn't make any glaring mistakes and let two solid touchdown drives. The defense sucked, and so did the offensive line. Nothing was Pennington's fault.

My Picks

My Picks: 12-4
Preseason Picks: 12-4
Picks Vs. Spread: 10-6

I actually did well the first week of the season which is nice. Lost the Chiefs, Jags, Rams and the Cards. So if the clown fell on the ball last night I would have gone 13-3.

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...
