NFL Week 3 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: Kansas City Chiefs, Obviously the Chiefs are just a miserable football team. In two weeks they managed to get destroyed by teams that had a top 4 draft pick last season. Herm just might be on his last legs here. Runners Up: Lions and Rams should join the Chiefs in a round robin toilet bowl competition for the #1 draft pick.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Al Davis, Senile old man can you just fire Kiffin or say he's coaching the entire year already? The Raiders aren't making the playoffs this year so it really doesn't matter whom your coach is, it's just annoying for everybody on the planet to deal with your senile old man stupidity on a day to day basis. Runners Up: Phil Savage for having the genius to sign DA to a long term deal and now 3 weeks into the season contemplating putting in Quinn, Jet fans for pretending their team was going to be good this year.

Cough Cough Cough: Martin Gramatica, While former Saint Kicker John Carney was knocking home the game winner for the Giants in overtime, Mr. Gramatica was sucking it up on a 43 yarder that would have given the Saints a lead within 2 minutes. Instead he shanked it, and the Saints are 1-2. Runners Up: Colts D for giving up a FG in 67 seconds, the Bears D for giving up the final TD in regulation.

The Shocker: Dolphins, If I was still alive in my suicide league there would have been two options to choose from this week. The first being the Bills against the Raiders and the second and better choice being the Pats at home against the Dolphins. Well, I'm guessing a ton of people were dumped in the 3rd week after the debacle at the Razor. Runners Up: JT O'Sullivan has 2 wins as a starter this year, the Ravens are 2-0 somehow.

The Pimp: Ronnie Brown, When a man has 5 touchdowns against a team that hasn't lost a regular season game in almost 2 calendar years, the man is the pimp no questions asked. Runners Up: Michael Turner who is living up to the hype, Everybody in the NFC East.

You Got Jakked Up: Three Day Old Cheeseburger, If anybody took a consistant ass whoppin this week it was Big Ben who was getting smashed on every single snap by the Iggles D-Line.

My Fantasy Anti-MVP: Brian Griese, Seriously? That dude threw for over 400 yards this week? Seriously? WTF?

New York Jets Anti-MVP: Any Lineman, Who needs to protect their QB or hit the opposing QB? Certainly not the Jets.

My Picks

My Picks: 12-4
Preseason Picks: 12-4
Picks Vs. Spread: 5-11

So... maybe I shouldn't do so much picking of spreads and should just stay with the 'analyst' role of picking game winners. That's working out a lot better for me.

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...
