NFL Week 7 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: Denver's Defense, Sammy Morris came into the game averaging 3.2 yards a carry. The Broncos turned Sammy Morris into Jim Brown. Matt Cassel came into the game off his worst start. The Broncos turned Matt Cassel into Tom Brady. They are really really bad. Runners Up: The Chiefs Rush Defense, The Raiders Rush Defense.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Brett Favre, Hey let's just lob up a hail mary down 3 to nobody on your own team. That's gonna work out brilliantly. Runners Up: Why was Jay Cutler still playing when they were getting killed and he was already injured, Shannahan deciding he was going to call timeouts to let the Pats set up just how they were going to beat them on 4th and 1.

Cough Cough Cough: Cleveland Browns, Down 3 with the ball on the 36 yardline with 46 seconds and no timeouts, the Browns had the opportunity to move into tying field goal range. Instead Derek Anderson dropped back to pass three times, threw three straight incompletions and then watch Phil Dawson missed the 50+ yard attempt. Ouch. Runners Up: Indy really doesn't want to win the division this year, the Jets want to lose to bad teams that commit 87 penalties a game.

The Shocker: The Downturn of the Cowgirls, So much for the most talented team in the league moniker. Apparently you also need talent on defense to win ball games. Who Knew? Runners Up: I thought New England would win but damn, I don't know if anybody saw the Bills as a 5-1 team this year.

The Pimp: Sebastian Janikowski, Game winning field goals are a dime a dozen. Game winning field goals from 57 yards that easily would have been good from 65 yards never happen. Janikowski showed cockiness and skill in sticking a dagger in my heart. Runners Up: All Titan Running backs, Steven Jackson putting a hurting on the Cowgirls.

You Got Jakked Up: Keith Rivers, Broken Jaw Ouch

My Fantasy MVP: Steven Jackson, Hoorah 38 points and my second win of the season. ya onto the championship I go...

New York Jets MVP: Jay Feely, Who the hell saw him kicking a 52 yarder? Certainly not me, nor the broadcasters.

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...
