Think Martin Brodeur is Having a Nice Day?

With 2 minutes to go all things pointed to a satanic celebration in New Jersey. The Devils looked like they were going to advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs and more importantly my Streak for the Cash was going to reach 7. And then Martin Brodeur decided to forget that he's one of the greatest goaltenders of all time. Within 1 minute of regulation the Devils went from in the 2nd round, to ready for overtime, to gotta schedule that tee time tomorrow.

So what do you think a hall of fame goaltender coming off his worst ever defeat is doing today? The weather is a nice cool 63 in Newark, so its neither beach nor heavy smog weather. He could spend it outside golfing, but that seems a bit too casual. He could spend time banging his wife, who used to be his sister-in-law. Perhaps he's beating up homeless people ala Clockwork Orange to blow off some steam.

Or perhaps he's just crying and watching this YouTube clip...

Whatever he's doing, I can't imagine that today is a good day.

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...

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...
