Thinking and Believing Do Not Equal Guaranteeing

Ryan Dempster, not so great closer for the Chicago Cubs, came out yesterday and stated that he believes the Cubs are going to win the World Series. Not that he guarantees the Cubs or going to win the World Series or that they are better than everybody in the NL. Nope he just said that he thinks his team is better than last year. He believes that all the hard work he did, and his teammates did are going to pay off. That the franchise added pieces which have significantly improved the team. That all of the work done by the franchise will result in what hasn't occurred in a century.

There is no controversy here. This is a complete non story. Just like the Plaxico Super Bowl story. They didn't guarantee anything. They believe they are going to win. They believe their team won't suck. Don't you want that from your sports figures? Shouldn't it be controversial if they come out and say "We are going to suck balls. There is no chance we are going to make the playoffs. That is why I drank King Cobra all off season and put on 30 lbs of pure gut." Rather than a player thinking his team is going to be good, whether it is delusional or not.

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.
