Good for You Jalen

If you know anything about my sports preferences or are a regular here at SOS than you know that I am a big Wolverine fan and you may or may not know that the sole reason for this is the Fab Five. Since those days of my youth the Wolverines legacy has been tarnished by the Chris Webber scandals and the NCAA's removal of the Fab Five's record.

15 years later however Jalen Rose just wants to let Detroit know that the Fab Five did in fact exist. Don't worry Jalen you left an indelible mark on me, you are the reason I like a team that can't win any bowl games or beat its biggest rival. You are the reason I like a College Basketball team that perennially underachieves and misses the tournament instead of liking the College in my backyard that pumps out NBA Players, has two national titles and had a sleepover camp in which I attended and met Ray Allen. You Jalen, Chris, Juwan, Ray, and Jimmy are the reason.

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...
