Wonderful Ideas: A Nazi Stadium in the Largest Jewish American Neighborhood

Allianz. It sounds like a cool name for the new Giants Stadium. Especially cool given that two teams will again share the stadium. They created and 'Allianz' when building the stadium and when taking the taxpayers money. If they're gonna shell out $25 million plus a year for the naming rights. So what could possibly be wrong with that. Well a lot actually.

If for some reason you don't know this, the Tri-State area has far and away the largest Jewish population in the country. Don't trust me? Well look at the wikipedia's Distribution of American Jews by County. You'll notice that essentially every county in New York, New Jersey and Southern Connecticut is listed.

So Simon, what the hell is your point? Who cares if there are a lot of Jewish Americans living in New York. The point is that Allianz is a very old German company. A German company which just so happened sponsored the Nazi party during their history. One who's CEO was economics minister for Hitler. And the company that just so happened insure the chemical engineers at Auschwitz. A company that sent the life insurance money due to Jews to the Nazi party instead.

Whoopsies. Time to get a new sponsor.

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...
