NFL Week 14 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: Detroit Lions, Just 3 games away from 0-16, that'll be so much fun. And I don't know if even a federal bailout would help them Runners Up: Anybody think Marvin Lewis is dying to get fired, seriously what happened to Jacksonville?

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Antonio Pierce, You tried to say that you were good to go in the game but you obviously were both distracted and frustrated. On one drive you took two absolutely horrendous penalties. Runners Up: Whoever designs the Jets coverage schemes, the Jets for letting Pennington free and allowing him to go to the Dolphins.

Cough Cough Cough: Tony Romo, The chance was there despite the Steelers comeback. You had the ball in a tie game needing only a field goal and instead of driving you throw a game losing pick 6. Runners Up: the Jets choked away their chance to lengthen their division lead, Seattle had the game in their hands but couldn't hold on

The Shocker: The 49ers, Grr crapity crap crap shit. Back to back weeks I have the Niners at the shocker. I'm sorry but I just didn't see this coming before the game and then during the game it was all too clear. The Jets opted to play no defense and essentially force themselves to win out if they want to make the playoffs. Runners Up: the Cowboys collapse, the Giants offenses virtual no show.

The Pimp: Carolina Running Backs, Both Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams dominated last night to retake the division lead. 301 total yards on the ground between the two was by far the biggest reason for their victory. Runners Up: Brian Westbrook ate the GMen alive, Matt Schaub is back and throwing for 414.

You Got Jakked Up: Ronde Barber, Down 7 points in the fourth on back to back running plays Ronde Barber was brushed off via the stiff arm resulting in two carries for 46 yards and a td.

My Fantasy Anti-MVP: Hope is Gone, I'm out of the postseason so it's all meaningless.

New York Jets Anti-MVP: Defense, If their mission was to make Shaun Hill look and feel like Steve Young than it was accomplished.

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...
