NFL Week 1 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: St. Louis Rams, Philadelphia is a talented team and a tough place to play but losing 38-3 is really really poor. The only benefit of the weekend for the Rams is that the Seahawks also lost and their division is going to be awful this year. Runners Up: JT O'Sullivan had lots of turnovers, Detroit Lions defense.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Matt Millen, Seriously this man needs to be fired. They're facing a team with a rookie quarterback, a new running back and new coach. You traded your best defensive lineman in the off season. And your team goes out and gives up 300 yards on the ground and allows a 62 yard td on the rookie's first pass. That's some good work by the D. Runners Up: Vince Young for just not showing up in the huddle one drive, the Vikings for thinking Tarvaris is a Superbowl QB.

Cough Cough Cough: Cincinatti Bengals, If you want to be a playoff team you need to beat a rookie quarterback in his first start. Instead the Bengals went out to Baltimore and couldn't get a single thing done on offense even though the Ravens were missing arguably the best safety in the league in Ed Reed. Piss poor by Cincy. Runners Up: San Diego giving up a last second td, .

The Shocker: Carolina Panthers, They don't have their best offensive player, they are playing on the road against an AFC powerhouse, their qb is coming off Tommy John surgery and they pull off a last second victory. Who the hell saw that coming? Runners Up: The Bears knocking off Indy, Two Rookie QBs winning their first start.

The Pimp: Michael Turner, Apparently getting your first start in the NFL after sitting behind the best running back in the league for years is motivating. After one week as a starting running back Michael Turner is already over 1/5 of the way to a 1000 yard season. Runners Up: Everyone on the Eagles, Eddie Royal who had a diesel first start

You Got JAKKED UP: Tom Brady's Knee, Goodbye Mr. Left ACL.

My Fantasy Anti-MVP: St. Louis Rams, It probably should be me for deciding that I wanted to base my fantasy success on the Rams. But whatever why Bulger, Stephen Jackson and Tory Holt can't put up a single god damn touchdown is beyond me.

New York Jets MVP: Thomas Jones, He equalled his 2007 touchdown total, which means he scored a single touchdown. He played well he helped control the ball for the Jets and would have had the game sealing first down if not for a Damien Woody false start.

My Picks

My Picks: 12-4
Preseason Picks: 12-4
Picks Vs. Spread: 10-6

Not a bad week if I say so myself. Who had the Colts and Chargers losing. Or the Falcons and Ravens winning? Probably not many considering 12-4 sits at 99.2% on ESPN.

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...
