Weekly Waste of Oxygen

A diverse bunch of waste of Oxygen. From the fun-police to whiners to plain old idiots.

1. Patriot Fans - You lost the Super Bowl it sucked. You are pissed. All of that is understandable. But reaching for calls and clock problems and face mask penalties to say you were robbed? Come on. Shut up. You've gotten enough questionable calls this season go your way that even if the Giants got one you shouldn't be able to complain. But the reaching done is ridiculous.

2. David Stern - Here comes David Stern once again as the Anti-Fun police. It's a dunk contest. People do things they would never do in an actual game for the dunk contest. They jump over midgets. They have Steve Nash Headbutt them the ball. They come from out of bounds to dunk. What the hell is the difference in raising the rim to 12 feet. That's something I would actually like to see instead of all of the rehashed dunks people have already done tons of times.

3. John Rocker - Why are you allowed to talk? Seriously why do people let this man get whatever he says into the public view. I don't care if you took steroids. I don't care what you think about Bud Selig. I don't care and nobody else should care. Just go away already.

4. Confederation of African Football - First off if you are having an awards banquet to celebrate the best players in Africa perhaps you should have this banquet on a date that does not coincide with a date when you are running your biggest tournament of the year. Second, if a player is playing in that tournament, which you run, and can't make the banquet, because you scheduled it stupidly, you should not penalize him. You certainly shouldn't just give his award to someone else because he couldn't make it.

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...
