NFL Week 17 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: Tampa Bay Bucs, There were a lot of collapses yesterday, but none to me was worse than the Bucs. At home against the awful Raiders in a game that could have potentially put you into the playoffs and you lay an egg. You let Michael Bush who was the Raiders 3rd running back, run all over you. Embarrassing. Runners Up: The Cowgirls can enjoy Cabo without any media attention this year, J E T S Just End the Season

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Jerry Jones, Think it was a bright idea now to say that you are going to definitely bring back the coach next year before the game and then reiterating it after the blowout? Now when you fire him you're going to be a liar. Solid job Jerry. Runners Up: Dick Jauron is a play calling whiz,

Cough Cough Cough: Denver Broncos, There were a lot of chokes this year, but the Broncos were probably the worst. They had three straight weeks where they could have clinched the division and each week they fired blanks including the beat down in San Diego last night. Runners Up: the Jets going 1-4 down the stretch, the Cowgirls getting embarrassed, the Bucs going 0-4 in December.

The Shocker: The Eagles Sneaking In, The Eagles need everything to fall their way at 1. They needed the Bucs to choke. They needed the Bears to choke. And they needed to beat the Cowgirls. It all happened and now the inconsistent Eagles could be a scary playoff opponent. Runners Up: the Raiders really the Raiders?, goal posts falling down in Buffalo.

The Pimp: The Johnsons: Andre and Calvin, Andre and Calvin Johnson are arguably the two best receivers in the NFL right now. Both had over 100 yards and two touchdowns yesterday. Calvin unfortunately couldn't strap a victory on his back whereas Andre dashed the Bears playoff hopes. Runners Up: Chad Pennington dominating in his return outing, Drew Brees throwing a lot of yards.

You Got Jakked Up: Three Day Old Cheesburger's Noggin, How did that concussion feel Ben? I'm guessing you don't remember.

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

New York Jets MVP: Nobody, Screw them all.

My Picks

My Picks: 10-6
Preseason Picks: 8-8
Picks Vs. Spread: 6-10

2008 Season Picks

My Picks: 165-91
Preseason Picks: 150-106
Picks Vs. Spread: 130-126

Overall the Spread picks were so so and really tailed off at the end of the year. The preseason picks are pretty solid considering I Had the Ravens and Falcons with about 4 wins combined, whoops.

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...
