NFL Trade Deadline = Incredibly Lame

It's currently 4 PM and the trade deadline has come and gone and seemingly we've seen zero action. Why? Well A) the trade deadline is ridiculously early in the NFL. B) I guess it's 'harder' to learn a system in football than in baseball or basketball so teams shy away. C) The annoyingly strict Hard CAP. And D) Well teams are pretty lame. I mean some teams have 1 win others have zero, some teams are obviously lacking at skill positions and with acquisitions could significantly bolster their Superbowl hopes. And yet nothing ever happens. Let's quickly run down players who probably should have been dealt for whatever they would return and teams that obviously could utilize a given position.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh - You just fell to 0-5 which means you are done. You're QB is on the verge of sitting out the rest of the year and you have one of the best over the middle receivers in the league about to become a free agent. Time for an extra draft pick.

Roy Williams - He's a free agent at the end of the year who will be chriping for a huge contract. You're an 0 for team with QB who voluntarily runs out of bounds. Just get any draft pick you can.

Who Needs A Wideout? A lot of teams that's who. The Titans are the 'best' team in the NFL yet they are starting Justin 'No Hands'. They obviously need a wideout. The Dolphins if they want to make any kind of run desperately need someone to throw the ball to. The Bills could probably utilize another game changer. The Bears or the Vikings could use someone who makes plays. The Eagles always have a need for a wideout.

Tony Gonzalez - The man is old but is still good. The Chiefs are awful, have no qb and will be in the draft one mode next year. It makes no sense to hold onto ToGo.

Who Could Use a TE? Again the Bills could use ToGo to stabilize their offense.

Some Raider Runningback - Either Fargas or Bush should have been dealt. They have 3 runnings backs and needs practically everywhere else on the field. Their season is over. Time to cut the excess and fill in some need.

Who Needs a Running Back? The Eagles could use a backup RB given that Westbrook gets injured weekly. Pittsburgh could also use some more depth given Fast Willie and Mendenhall being banged up.

Josh Brown - He's got ice water in his veins. But clutch kicks aren't coming around too often for the Rams this season...

Who Needs a Kicker?The Saints do. They've lost 2 games thanks to Martin Gramatica.

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.
