What a Difference a Weekend Can Make

The Baseball Season is one that leads itself towards drastic day to day over reactions. Your team sucks cause last night they lost. Your team is great cause last night they hit a walk off home run. Your team sucks because your #5 starter gave up 8 runs in 3 innings. Your team is awesome cause your ace is unhittable. The big picture is always overwhelmed by the small picture and this is entirely evident by the past week in the Bronx.

Last week the Yankees sucked because they were 15-17. A 200 million dollar payroll and two games under .500 after 1/5th of the season? How could this be? Terrible just terrible. And who's a bigger bust than Mark Teixeira? Why did they give that bum 180$ million dollars? The Red Sox and Blue Jays are going to pull away from the Yanks. Panic is spreading throughout the Bronx.

Today the Yankees are on a 6 game winning streak coming off a sweep of the Twins with 3 epic walk off victories and so... Everything is Great. The world is a better place, the sun is shining, the Bronx is buzzing. Teixeira is a hero. The Yanks are just a 1/2 game behind the Sox. The Sox are reeling with injuries and a useless Papi. The Yanks are on fire and will surely pass them.

These are the emotions that fill up a baseball season. Highs and lows that should be tempered but they never are. The season as they say is a marathon and not a sprint, yet fans do not heed this advice. Rather they fly day by day, making drastic emotional swings with one at bat or one performance. Fandom does

Last Week the Yankees were Dying, This Week the Yankees Are Thriving, Next Week the Yankees are...

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.
