Why do People Keep Trading For Zach Randolph?

Yesterday the Memphis Grizzlies decided to ship Quentin Richardson for Zach Randolph which begs the question, WHY? Why in the world do you want Zach Randolph? How has this man and his incredibly bloated contract actually been traded three times in as many seasons?

In each of his trades he was acquired for essentially nothing. The Knicks acquired him from Portland for Steve Francis, Channing Frye and a bag of peanuts aka nothing of value. The Clippers acquired him for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas even though Cuttino Mobley had a heart issue that forced him into retirement. And now the Grizzlies pick him up for an aging Quentin Richardson who no longer can shoot the basketball. In each case the Randolph trader was eager as hell to dump him despite the fact that he is almost a guaranteed 20 & 10.

So if you're the Memphis Grizzlies, what the hell are you doing? Shouldn't it be evident by the fact that nobody wants him that you shouldn't deal for him. When the Clippers said yes to Quentin Richardson, shouldn't that have thrown up some big red flags?

The worst part is that Memphis is building their team around youth, and youth with a potentially checkered past. The #1 star OJ Mayo has his NCAA Scandal and high school issues. The #2 star Rudy Gay was massively accused for less than stellar effort while at UConn. And now Zach Randolph is going to be the veteran leader. That sounds like a fantastic idea.

Memphis = 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.
