20 Billion Dollar Losses Are Fun

Roman Abramovich the Billionaire Russian owner of Chelsea and builder of the largest yacht on the planet, is not having a very good 2008 apparently. Why? Because just like everybody else his shares are falling through the floor. The difference? He has a lot more shares than any of us. Enough shares to make his net worth fall 20 billion, with a B. Why? Because the two companies with which he had major holdings in have fallen 80% since May.

But don't worry too much for Abramovich. He's still worth at least 3.5 billion and well as his publicist or agent said it was just a paper loss. He was never planning on selling any of his stock and utilize the money, so he just like many of us are waiting for the more days like yesterday. And he can always ask for the near 1 billion dollar loan he's granted Chelsea back...

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

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
