Tuesday Afternoon Quicknotes

~I don't know about you but I'm already completely sick of the whole Patriot-Gate thing. It's meaningless. They would have slaughtered the Jets anyway. And if perchance they've been doing this for the past 6 years, than guess what good for them. They didn't get caught, they won Championships all others are just whining losers who wish they did it themselves. I suggest everyone stop reading all articles about this, because they are all irrelevant. I even hope you skipped this Quicknote.

~I don't know how many of you caught Pam Oliver during the Giant game this weekend, but it was classic. While the Giants are getting steamrolled in the 2nd half, FOX brings up Oliver and pans to the faces of all of the Giants defensive lineman who like they are mourning a close relatives death. Oliver than chimes in with words along the lines I wish I could tell you there were some signs of leadership on this sidelines but the Giants are lifeless right no one is talking or doing anything. AKA holy sh*t they suck.

~The lone Jet Pro Bowler from 2006 is out for the season. Another thing to Celebrate fantastic.

~Note to the Broadcasters of the Raiders and Broncos game, get some friggin Q-Tips and get the wax out of your ears. It was blatantly obvious that whistles were being blown prior to the snap of Janikowski's apparent game winning field goal. Maybe if you could here you wouldn't have acted completely uninformed for a minute or so.

~If somehow I win my Survivor pool and win a boatload of money I think I owe some of it to Mike Shanahan.

~I strongly suggest going to the new NFL.com Video's page. It's pretty well done. You should also watch the Panthers highlights in case you missed them cause Steve Smith is awesome.

~The Jaguars offense is absolutely terrible.

~The Falcons Defense and Offense have given up the same amount of touchdowns thus far this season. Two a piece.

~I think the Browns are still scoring...

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...
