Someone Please Hire Ferentz

I'm listening to the Mike and Mike this morning and they were discussing with Chris Mortensen the Dolphins and whether or not Cam Cameron would be back as coach and who would be a possible replacement if he was let go. And surprise surprise Kirk Ferentz was named as a possibility. Can someone please hire this guy so we can remove him from all further rumors. I don't care if it's in the NFL or anything, just something. Here are some ideas.

1. Knicks Coach/GM
2. Democratic Presidential Candidate
3. Michigan Vacation Promoter in West Virginia
4. Captain Kirk in a remake of Star Trek
5. Annoying Coach in the sequel to Waterboy called WaterMom, featuring Mark Reicht's wife
6. Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban or Larry Browns suitcase coordinator
7. Professional Orange Juggler
8. Patriot Spygate Operator
9. ESPN Analyst Replacement for Emmitt Smith
10. Iowa Caucus Coordinator

Any one of these options or the Dolphins job would be fine. Just somebody please hire the man away from Iowa so that he isn't linked to every job in sports.

Dude, Tell me about IT! As a diehard Hawkeye fan, I am exhausted with all of this crap. Ferentz can not even fire ONE staff member after 3 crappy seasons and he gets all pissed when one of Iowa's media member calls him out. You expect him to run a NFL team?

He was an NFL OL coach like 10 years ago. Get over it. Iowa's line is constantly rebuilding and has not been good for 4 or 5 years.

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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
