Thursday Quicknotes

~Busy at work again today so the posts are limited, but whatever I spent way too much time on the NBA post last night so just read that a few times and stop your bitching.

~SI Hot Clicks and TrueHoop even linked up that post so maybe it was worth foregoing finishing my homework, which is due this evening which I have to finish sometime in the next few hours, to do. Might even make enough to get me a pint of Newcastle this weekend.

~Yet another thursday night game, I'll try to get the picks out later today but doubt I will have time, so the pick is Chicago to cover and win. They're getting 3 points for some reason.

~I have not posted on the Heisman yet this season and mostly because if you don't vote for Tim Tebow you're an idiot. He should runaway with this thing. He has 50 god damn touchdowns and is the entire Gator offense.

~The Big Ten is lame and is killing a blog because of copyright infringement. They should get the copyrights for Weak 11 cause the whole conference blows.

~Nondescript cornerbacks should not guarantee victories when playing against an undefeated team. He should be laughed at and ridiculed by Patriots players if they do in fact beat the Steelers on Sunday. He however should not be applauded if the Steelers win, cause chances are he wouldn't have played a big roll in the victory.

~The Tigers might already be trying to trade Dontrelle Willis which is not very surprising but kind of humorous. They've started talking to the Mets who the Marlins refused to trade Willis to. Pretty funny.

~Andruw Jones getting 18 million a year is a bit ridiculous considering his average and number of Ks was practically identical last season.

~So much for the Sox deal with the Twins being all but done. Stupid ESPN and their rumors.

~The Dolphins better win this weekend against the Bills. This is probably their best chance as the Bills aren't that good.

~Jason Kidd apparently just skipped out on the game last night cause he 'caught' a cold. What a bitch. I've always disliked that guy and his stupid free throw kiss. They lost to the Knicks because of this.

~Go look at Krik Hinrich's stats. What happened to the birdman? He sucks.

~That featured comment stuff on ESPN.com is really dumb.

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...
