Friday Quicknotes

~I want to lead this off by saying read my post at EC because it's one of my favorites I've written in awhile. It's about Lou Holtz being senile.

~Now onto Barroid. The Fact that he got indicted isn't really a surprise and I really can't say I care that much. If he gets convicted whatever, he gets off whatever. The thing I don't understand is why so many people are just blowing off perjury as if it's not a big deal at all. There's a reason the perjury crime exists and a reason why it should have a harsh penalty. Lying to the court is should not be stood for. So saying Barry shouldn't go to jail because he 'didn't commit a crime', is a pretty dumb statement.

~This game is fun if you want to burn a few minutes.

~Arod apparently has incentives for breaking the home run record. See that Joe, Arod can play for incentives.

~Jeter apparently lied and said he resided in Florida to avoid taxes. Um who cares.

~The Degrees of Loss Separation was correct once again, mostly to my dismay. I really wanted Oregon to run the table and sneak into the championship game. Now Tebow is going to win the Heisman with limited opposition, and no team I particularly enjoy is going to make the National Championship game. So yet another year where I will have no rooting interest in the title game. Ugh.

~If the Degrees of Loss Separation improves to 4-2 this weekend that would be ridiculous.

~Tony Romo being the #1 selling jersey in the entire NFL seems a bit odd to me.

~Michigan got pounded last night by Georgetown on the road, way to blaze the trail for another year without the NCAA tournament.

~Nintendo trivia. I got 13 of 25.

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...
