Carl Crawford Has More Steals Than Your Entire Team

Carl Crawford must have watched the Sportscenter highlights on Monday Night of Colorado rookie Dexter Fowler running wild and gotten inspired because yesterday he saw Dexter's 5 swipes and one upped him. With fat man Brad Penny on the hill and old man Jason Varitek behind the dish Carl Crawford ran wild, stealing everytime he reached base and sometimes twice.

At the end of the afternoon Crawford tied a modern day record of 6 steals in a game. But it's where he sits right now in the league standings that is almost even more astonishing. At this point of the season, about one month through, Carl Crawford ranks 8th in major league baseball in stolen bases. Wait nevermind, he would rank 8th in major league baseball if he was a team. That's right Carl Crawford has stolen more bases thus far this season than 22 major league baseball teams. In fact he had more stolen bases yesterday than the Braves have had all season long.

Crawford is now 17 for 17 on steal attempts this season through just 21 games, a far cry from the 25 he recorded in 100+ games last season when his legs weren't under him. He also has stolen at least one base in 6 consecutive games. He has the green light everytime he's on base. If you have Crawford on your fantasy team, get ready to have a 30+ steal lead by midseason.

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.
