Where In the World Is Kei Igawa?

The World Baseball Classic begins on Thursday with the Japanese squaring off at 4:30 in the morning when they face off against China. Taking the mound for team Japan will be their ace in the hole, none other than Kei Igawa. Instead of throwing Dice-K or Yu Darvish to open up the series the Japanese are going with the Yankees Quadruple A starter Igawa.

Probably figuring that the Chinese are the least of their worries, the Japanese are throwing Igawa in game one and saving Darvish and Dice-K for the more powerful Korean and Taiwanese squads. Or perhaps Kei has just dominated their camp and they actually think he could be ace type material in leading Japan back to the WBC trophy.

I'm completely kidding about all of that, I had you for a second didn't I? Japan didn't even want Igawa on their team saying “They think … he is not so good.” So he's rotting somewhere in Florida.

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.
