Yanks Sign the Black Farnsworth

Looking forward to the 2008 baseball season already? Are you a Yankee fan or a Yankee Hater? Well if so you may have missed an important transaction over the weekend which may interest you. The Yankees signed hard throwing righty Latroy Hawkins to a 1 year contract to pitch out of the New York Bullpen.

What does that mean for New York fans? Well now they will have one more person that comes out of their bullpen to hate. If there's one person who just might take the 'most hated man in the bullpen tag' away from Farny it's Latroy Hawkins. Latroy was very good for the Rockies last year, but that's the Rockies and no one was paying attention to him. The one year he was a closer for the entire season? 5.96 era. His second opportunity as a full time closer? He blew 9 of his 34 save opportunities for the Cubs. The one year he spent in the AL East as a pitcher? 4.48 era. Not inspiring lots of confidence.

Maybe he'll pitch similarly to his season in Colorado last year or some of his stellar set up performances with the Twins but there's a good chance he's going to be hated by Yankee fans everywhere and cheered for when brought in at Fenway by the nation.

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

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
