I Bet Nobody Wants to Chug the Kool-Aid Now

So, who wants to drink the Green Kool-Aid today? Best team in the AFC my ass. Here's what transpired yesterday at the Meadowlands. A division leader was throttled by another division leader in pretty much every aspect of the game.

1. Brett Favre Sucked Dong: He threw one Arm Punt to Dre Bly which was absolutely nowhere near the intended receiver. He missed short passes for first downs. He threw tons of incomplete passes and made zero good throws by the goal line. It was a pitiful display of football.

2. The Coaches Are Fucking Morons: Once again the play calling was incredibly suspect. Thomas Jones numbers read 16 carries 138. Two carries went for 59 and 29 yards respectively, so the typical carry was 14 for 60 or 4+ a carry. So on 3rd and 1 you should feel comfortable running the football. And then when you play action pass stupidly on 3rd and 1 and throw and incompletion you should feel comfortable running on 4th and 1. But no you throw the ball twice. And then when you get 3rd and 3 and 4th and 3 later in the game you do the same fucking thing. Gardock. 16 carries 138 yards, give him the god damn football.

3. The Defense Blew: Here's what I said on Wednesday last week, "...please tell me who's covering Eddie Royal this week? Ty Law? Too Slow. Dwight Lowery? Too awful. If they decide to cover him with Revis than that means constant double coverage on Marshall which will leave Scheffler and Graham to patrol the middle in single coverage by a linebacker. That didn't work out so well against Ben Watson. The Broncos have a very good shot at putting a ton of point on the board and pulling off the upset...". What happened? Tony Scheffler 7 catches 90 yards. Eddie Royal 5 catches 84 yards and a td. Daniel Graham 6 catches 59 yards. That's 213 yards passing to two tight ends and the #2 receiver. The Broncos were also able to rush the football consistently which hasn't happened to the Jets since week 2. It was a completely miserable effort.

So which member of the media is going to reach for the Kool-Aid pitcher this week?

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...
