NFL Week 5 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: Detroit Lions, Honestly how bad can a franchise possible be? You would figure that after they dumped Matt Millen that maybe just maybe some of the team cancer would be lifted and instead you go out and get completely throttled by a piss poor offensive opponent. Runners Up: Kansas City getting dumped 34-0, the Bengals moved to an impressive 0-5.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Minnesota's Punt Squad, 1 to the house is a fluke. The second one that should have gone to the house is a trend. And the third one that did go to the house is just plain old stupidity. Runners Up: Me for picking the Lions to win 8 games, Sage Rosenfels for turning into a helicopter turnover machine.

Cough Cough Cough: Houston Texans, This is how you stay winless, you somehow manage to blow a 17 point lead in the final 5 minutes by turning the ball over 3 times. Now that's choking it away. Runners Up: Martin Gramatica just straight up blows, Baltimore had their shot to knock of the Titans but couldn't get it done.

The Shocker: Miami Wild Hog Formations, So I'm willing to wager that none a single person on the planet pre-season had the Dolphins losing their first two games but moving to 2-2 by beating the Patriots and than the Chargers. Not 1 human being. I don't know where they are going to go from here, but they have a QB playing well and two stud running backs so anything is possible. Runners Up: The Falcons are 3-2, huh?, the Cardinals thumped the Bills which didn't surprise me.

The Pimp: All Giants, The Giants did not need Plaxico to destroy the Seahawks. Instead of passing to Plax, Eli just threw to every other open receiver while also watching the Juggernaut truck through linebackers and the defense completely shut down Hasselbeck and Julius Jones. Runners Up: Reggie Bush was an unstoppable return force, DeAngelo Williams who had the best game by far of his career.

You Got Jakked Up: Punt Blocked, I have no idea who made the block or who received the hit but the player on the Vikings on Reggie Bush's first punt return got KTFO.

My Fantasy Anti-MVP: Bye Week Boredom, When 6 of your players are on bye then your team is gonna get pummeled and mine did.

New York Jets MVP: Bye Week Boredom

My Picks

My Picks: 10-4
Preseason Picks: 8-6
Picks Vs. Spread: 7-7
Pick Suggestions: 3-2

The Preseason Picks slipt to 99.8% but My Picks moved up into a tie with the Preseason. We shall see what happens in the future.... Meanwhile my spread picks remain mediocre and the suggestions were capped off by the genius Lions pick... whoops.

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...
