I'm Pulling For Beanie to Play

This is Beanie Wells celebrating a 'Rose' Bowl trip after demolishing the Michigan Wolverines. If Beanie Wells is injured and doesn't play against the Wolverines I will be absolutely thrilled. But this weekend I really want him on the field and it's not because I picked him for the Heisman or the fact that I picked the Buckeyes to win the National Title. I would love to be wrong on the latter, and don't necessarily care about the former. I just want a competitive game this weekend and one with no Buckeye excuses.

The Buckeyes are already getting 10.5 points from Vegas for Saturday night's showdown against USC. And this was before Beanie Wells was dropped to doubtful this afternoon. Sure there's still a chance that without Beanie the Buckeyes will be able to hang with the Trojans, but in all likelihood they will lose and lose by a decent margin. I'd much prefer the Buckeyes losing with all their chips and to be summarily proven to be an inferior team to USC. I want no controversy and no excuses and it looks like that won't be the case.

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...
