NFL Conference Championship Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: The Ravens Offense, The Ravens mustered under 200 yards of offense. They scored twice the entire game. One came via a pass interference in the end zone and the other came via a long ass punt return. The rest of the game they were entirely useless. Runners Up: Whoever was covering Larry Fitzgerald, the Iggles ability to stuff a 4th and 1.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Darren Stone, Your team has all the momentum in the world. They are getting the ball at the 40 with a chance to take the lead. What better way to throw it all away, than to get a meaningless roughness penalty on the sidelines. Runners Up: Apparently diving and tripping a receiver mid pass is not a pass interference penalty, the Steelers OC called plays.

Cough Cough Cough: Joe Flacco, Ah, and the stroking of Joe Flacco will end after he had a wonderfully shitty game. He's played like a rookie the entire year and has never been 'the reason' they won games. So stop turning him into a hall of famer. Runners Up: David Akers really botched it with his missed kicks, good ole McNabb threw for 375 but it easily could have been more.

The Shocker: The Cardinals, At the beginning of the playoffs the sentiment was that "anybody in the playoffs could win the Superbowl, well except for the Cardinals". That's pretty much what everybody was saying. And now? They are one of the 2 teams left standing and have a solid chance to take home the title. Runners Up: Kurt Warner just might be a hall of famer after working in a grocery store, Kurt Warner's wife no longer has the crew cut and is now a blond?.

The Pimp: Larry Fitzgerald, Whatever contract they gave Fitz over the last few years, it's time to double it. Hell triple it. The man can't be covered. Runners Up: Krut Warner potentially punched his ticket to Canton, Troy Polamalu made the difference in the Pittsburgh game.

You Got Jakked Up: Willis McGahee, Goodnight Willis.



New York Jets MVP: Nobody, Playoffs!!!

My Picks 1-1

Ugh.

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...
