NFL Week 9 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: The Raiders, Not to beat a dead horse here, but holy shit the Raiders are terrible. 3 first downs the entire game? 3 first downs? Your QB gains more yards rushing on 2 attempts, than he does passing for the day. Runners Up: Dallas QBs are just awful, did I mention the Raiders suck.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: The Raiders, If being awful wasn't enough, the Raiders top it off with stupidity. See last week they introduced a new segment in practice, practicing touchdown celebrations. You know so they actually get to pretend to know what it feels like to score 6 points on a single play. Runners Up: Derek Anderson probably does not want to throw a screen pass to Terrell Suggs, Brett Favre probably wants to not throw any more Pick Sixes.

Cough Cough Cough: Kansas City Chiefs, Not like it really matters if the Chiefs win or not given their horrible record and 0% chance at the playoffs, but they certainly had the game in their hands this weekend and let it slip away. Runners Up: Thew Lions spit away their chance to get off the schnide, Cleveland lost their opportunity to reemerge as a playoff contender.

The Shocker: The Jaguars Aren't Good, I figured the Bengals would eventually win a game because well all NFL team eventually win. I just figured the Jaguars were eventually going to start rushing the ball like last year, and figured the Bengals were the perfect opponent to do so. Well, nevermind the Jags just aren't that good. Runners Up: I predicted 6 victories for the Dolphins which was favorable to most and they already have 4, the Falcons are currently 5-3 who knew.

The Pimp: Justin Tuck, Justin Tuck is an unstoppable force right now for the Giants. It doesn't matter that they lost Osi and Gap Tooth from last year because Tuck has emerged as one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL. Runners Up: Kurt Warner continues to throw for 300+ per game, Adrian Peterson had an under the radar beastly game.

You Got Jakked Up: Trent Edwards, Any time a 360 pound man lands his full body weight on you multiple times than you know you got jakked up.

My Fantasy MVP: Texas Quarter, Already been over this.

New York Jets MVP: Kris Jenkins, The man was an unstoppable force this weekend. 2 Sacks as well as stuffing Marshawn on almost every play. If he plays like that every week the Jets could emerge as the best rush defense in the league.

My Picks

My Picks: 9-5
Preseason Picks: 8-6
Picks Vs. Spread: 8-6
Pick Suggestions: 3-2

Mediocre week but at least back on the positive side. The Lions covered yet again.

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.
