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...

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...
