The Scalabrine Watch: Scals Burns it Up in the Frigid Winter

It's the second season of the Scalabrine Watch which is meant to point out just how terrible he is as a basketball player. It shall track both his typical numbers as well as his +/- which the signifies the total number of points the Celtics lose while he is on the court.

The Celtics went through most of December without a loss. Unfortunately over the final 6 days they experienced a Jet lag. Meanwhile, Scals was dominating the cheerleading section of the bench all month long.

December Sum Up: +8

When your team wins 19 games in a row in means that chances are pretty damn good that when your feet hit the court your team is outscoring your opponents. Despite this Scals managed to put up a negative +/- in 5 games in December during the win streak whereas he only put up a positive +/- in 4 of the winning streak games.

At the end of the month however, Scals managed to finish with an overall +/- of 8 based mostly on strong positives in Celtics beatdowns. In the 34 point victory over Washington Scals took home a +10. In the 18 point blowout win at home against the Bulls Scals took home another +10. Finally Scals capped off his month with the +9 he enjoyed in the 45 point demolition of the Kings.

The Scals got into 12 of the teams 15 games in December including the massive 14 seconds of PT he got on Christmas Day.

Overall November Performance: -13

The Scals despite an overall positive December sits at -13 for the season based on his horrendous November beginning. If there is a positive for Scals it's that he lowered his DNPs in December to just 3. If there's a positive for Celtics fans its that he really doesn't get playing time in games that are close.

November Totals: 105 Minutes, 19 Points, 11-22 FG, 7-13 3s, 1-2 FTs, 13 Rebounds, 4 Assists, 4 Turnovers, 4 Steals, 1 Blocks, 19 Fouls

November Averages: 8.8 Minutes, 1.6 Points, 7-21 FG, 4-13 3s, 1-2 FTs, 1.1 Rebounds, .3 Assists, .3 Turnovers, .3 Steals, .1 Blocks, 1.6 Fouls

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.
