2 Minute Review of the Ryder Cup


Go America. Without Tiger the Americans seemed more unified seemed to have a better time and pulled out an early sunday afternoon victory. I certainly can't say that Tiger was the downfall of past Ryder Cup squad, but it seemed to benefit the squad that instead of him players like Boo Weekley, JB Holmes, Anthony Kim were around. Players that seem to make those around them laugh and enjoy themselves rahter than be nervous around the presence of the all mighty.

Meanwhile the European powers crumbled under the pressure. Paddy Irish and Sergio Spanish did not come up big for a squad that needed them. Without some key European contributors (such as Luke Donald and Monty) the Europeans just did not have their A game. And they were sent packing by an enthusiastic American squad and crowd.

My Predictions

Solid Predictions

2. Anthony Kim will be your American Hero and will make you learn his name.
Kim is going to a beast for America for a long time, he's passionate and he's got a great skill set. He's the American answer to Sergio, hopefully without the choking in Majors.

7. Pink Pants Poulter will be a beast for the Europeans.
Pink Pants Poulter was the best golfer in the tournament. 4.0 points himself.

4. Phil Mickelson remains mediocre in Ryder Cup play.
1-2-2 is piss poor for the man that is the 2nd best golfer on the planet.

5. Bald man Furyk plays better this year without Tiger than he did in 06.
2-1-1 is a solid result for the bald man.

Dead Wrong Predictions

8. Chad Campbell will be a miserable captains choice for the Americans.
2-1 is certainly not miserable, its winning golf.

6. JB Holmes will hit the ball hard and far, the home state Kentucky fans will love him, and he will fail them.
2-0-1 is not a failure, its beastly.

3. Sergio continues to carry the Europeans and loses only 1 match.
Sergio was awful, plain and simple.

So/So Predictions

9. The Europeans will definitely have better outfits.
The Europeans brought no colored pants, and only their outfits on saturday were relatively solid. The Americans at least busted out Tiger red on sunday.

10. The Cup comes down to Sunday afternoon and the last couple of pairings.
It came down to Sunday It was just over a bit earlier than the last pairings.

1. America wins by 1 point (14 1/2 - 13 1/2) cause Europeans obviously have to hate Kentucky.
They won just by a little bit more than expected.

Do Not Mess With Team Booze (2-0-1)

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

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...
