What the Hell Is Danny Ferry Doing?

In my humble opinion being an NBA General Manager is by far the easiest GM gig of all the professional sports. First off you have incredibly small roster sizes. Secondly you don't have to do with any minor league system. And most importantly, you pretty much know that you have no chance to win a title unless you have superstars. The biggest concern for an NBA GM is making sure that they have more than one superstar and making sure that they don't dish out Scott Layden-esque contracts.

And so I watched the Cavs this offseason and thought, if they want to keep Lebron for eternity than all they have to do is make sure they don't crush their 2010 cap number. And all the moves they were making were doing that. They didn't dump a boatload of money on Trevor Ariza or Shawn Marion or Hedo Turkoglu. They acquired Shaq and his expiring contract.

And then yesterday happenned. Instead of letting some other team spend a ton of money on a player that averages 8 and 7 and will never be an all star the Cavs decided to resign Anderson Varejao to a 7-year $50 million dollar deal. Instead of letting some other jackass team clog up their cap space by overpaying for side show bob, the Cavs overpay for sideshow bob.

I'm not saying that Varejao won't help then in 09 and and beyond. What I'm saying is that if Ferry played his cards right than the money he just wasted on Varejao could have morphed into Chris Bosh come 2010. It's just flat out stupid.

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.
