This shall be short but sweet because it's a day late.

Wow You Guys Suck: The Lions, Bring back Orlovsky. Runners Up: Jake Delhomme 7-27 for 4 INTs?, the Raiders the opposing QB had that line and you still lost comfortably.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Andy Reid, You are not a power running team. Get it in your fucking head. Runners Up: the 49ers entire offensive staff, anyone who said the Colts were dead.

Cough Cough Cough: Cleveland Browns, You had the chance to get back in the thick of things and you choked. Runners Up: The Pack could not stop Peterson, the Herminator could not get that 2 point conversion.

The Shocker: Kerry Collins, I really didn't know he could still throw for over 200 yards. Runners Up: the Dolphins are in position to make a playoff push, Flacco and Matty Ice have a better record than Peyton Manning.

The Pimp: Kurt Warner, Old man just might win the MVP. Runners Up: ToGo apparently still has something in the tank, Cutler wanted to throw for nearly 500 yards on thursday night.

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.

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.

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.
