2008 NFL Awards Predictions

MVP: Three Day Old Cheeseburger, Going with Tom Brady or Peyton Manning is incredibly boring. I went with Brady last year and got it right but who cares. I'm going out on a limb and saying Ben 'Three Day Old Cheeseburger' is going to have a massive season for the Steelers and going to help lead them to a division crown and one of the best records in the AFC. So I'll jump out on the ledge and pick him.

Offensive Player of the Year: LT, For all the love that Adrian Peterson has gotten in the offseason, LaDanian is still the best running back in the league. I expect him to bounce back from the playoff controversy with a massive 2008 campaign.

Defensive Player of the Year: Troy Polamalu, I went with him last year and he got hurt. He is the key to the Steelers defense, he stays healthy and they win a lot of games and he gets a lot of hype. He gets injured and they are screwed.

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Jonathan Stewart, Who trusts DeAngelo Williams as a starting running back? I don't and think Stewart will get the bulk of the carries and approach 1000 yards this year.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Sedrick Ellis, If the Saints are to improve to the levels I think they will, than they will need sizable improvements on defense. One of these being Jonathan Vilma, the other beeing rookie Sedrick Ellis.

NFL Comeback Player of the Year: Marc Bulger, Injured most of last season, I expect Bulger to be back and firing with a vengeance.

Kicker of the Year: Shayne Graham, Ya that's right bring back the kicker of the year category. Simply so a redhead can win an award.

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...
