Goodbye WNBA Dynasty

The WNBA opened its doors in 1997 to American applause everywhere [ha]. When the doors were thrown open the greatest professional dynasty of the 90s shot through, the Houston Comets. What other American franchise could claim winning their leagues championship every active season during the decade? Then to throw the Cherry on top, the Comets took home the 2000 championship as well.

Well, after only the twelfth WNBA season, the Comets are closing up shop and shipping off all of their players in a dispersal draft. Why? Because the WNBA couldn't find a buyer for the organization. Ha.

4 Time WNBA Finals MVP Cynthia Cooper (now Cynthia Cooper-Dyke) said this:

"This is disturbing news, this is a team that was an integral part of the WNBA. It is a team that helped establish the league, helped the league grow roots." Houston Chronicle

Or translated to:

"Waaaaah, Waaaaahhh. Why does nobody love basketball that involves inferior athleticism and inferior play but with more, sometimes, attractive athletes?"

I just can't write anything more. After this severely depressing news I need to bury my face in a Chocolate Bar to ease the pain.

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...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
