NFL Week 9 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: West Coast Teams, Looks like another year of crappy NFC West teams. The Seahawks sit atop the division with a 4-4 record after losing in OT to the Browns. Meanwhile the 49ers couldn't beat the inept Falcons. The Cardinals for the most part no showed against the Bucs and the Rams are 0 for the season. Additionally the AFC West stinks with the Chargers and Chiefs atop the division at 4-4 and the Broncos getting pummeled this weekend and the Raiders continuing to suck. Runners Up: The Bengals are 2-6 and can call 2007 quits, as can the Eagles who at 3-5 will not have another remarkable come back this season.

Cough Cough Cough: Alex Smith, You get a little slack when you come back from injury but 4 turnovers against the Atlanta Falcons is completely piss poor. Runners Up: The Jets gave away a nice 14 point lead, Colts had that nice 10 point lead and couldn't hang on.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Norv Turner, Certainly you could blame the players execution or credit the Vikings offensive line and Purple Jesus but the coach has to get a significant amount of blame for giving up 300 yards to a running back on a team who has absolutely no threat of a passing attack. Runners Up: Andy Reid needs to take some time off, Mike Holmgren with 54 seconds left at the Cleveland 31 calls multiple run plays.

The Shocker: Detroit Lions, I thought they would win the game, mostly because I don't think the Broncos are very good, but 44-7 that isn't even a contest. And now the Lions are 6-2? Runners Up: Buffalo defeating the Bengals and going 4-4 is something I don't quite understand, Minnesota pummeling San Diego in the 2nd half.

The Pimp: Purple Jesus, No one apparently can stop Purple Jesus. Not opposing defenses not his inept QB rotation of Holcomb, Jackson and Bollinger. Nobody takes down Adrian Peterson. Runners Up: Three Day Old Cheeseburger but up 5 tds in the first half, James Harrison had 3.5 sacks 2 Forced Fumbles 1 Fumble Recovery and 1 INT not a bad day of work.

You Got JAKKED UP: Ed Reed, He may want to reconsider returning punts after he was lifted up from the ground and destroyed last night.

My Fantasy MVP: Pitt Defense, Oviously Purple Jesus was what won me my two matchups, but the Pitt D and a 2.75 point lead had to outperform Willis McGahee and Hines Ward. And thanks to James Harrison and Hines Ward's piss poor performance I won by 9.

New York Jets MVP: Enough with this, I guess Leon Washington will be the Jets MVP for the remainder of the season considering he should make the pro bowl and the rest should just start their offseason vacation now.

My Picks

My Picks: 7-7
Preseason Picks: 5-9
Picks Vs. Spread: 4-10

Well that was overly painful.

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...
