Who Wants a Lot Of Baggage?

Even the Cowboys, cultivator of many clubhouse cancers, do not desire Terrell Owens. If the Cowboys don't want him, who the hell will? Let's take our best guess at the top 5 potential suitors.

5. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bungles just signed Laveraneus Coles to a ridiculously overpriced contract, but they should have room for another non-character guy right?

4. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jack del Rio is definitely a hard ass but he really needs a wide receiver. The Jags have drafted a wideout in seemingly every draft and none of them are very good. The running game took a step back in 2008 as well. If TO went to Jacksonville he would be a clear #1 option and could possibly play happy football for a team that would desperately need him.

3. San Diego Chargers - Already a high powered offense, the Chargers could possibly be a suitor for TO. With LT on the downslope, their window is slowly fading and with Chris Chambers doing absolutely nothing last year, they could use a solid wideout to compliment Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates. Not sure if they want the headache though.

2. Washington Redskins - The Redskins just jettisoned Jason Taylor's dollars, which means they just might have room for T.O. Who likes a flashier free agent signing more than Daniel Snyder?

1. Oakland Raiders - Al Davis doesn't care you went out and mugged a 5 year old girl in a wheel chair, as long as you can play football. What better place for the ultimate clubhouse cancer, the ultimate NFL villain, to finish his career than in a Raiders uniform. And just imagine how pissed off he'll get on a daily basis with JaMarcus Russell throwing missiles to no one in particular. It's a match made in heaven.

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...
