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.

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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
