NFL Week 1 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: St. Louis Rams, Well it certainly looks like the Rams are back to where they left off the 2008 season, sucking hard. 28-0 in the season opener says the offense and Marc Bulger are still terrible and that the defense isn't anything great either. Runners Up: The Texans offensive line was dominated by a Jets defense minus two starters, the Lions Secondary.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Jake Delhomme, Someone check Jake's eyesight because I don't think he fully understands what color uniforms his team wears. He might think they wear green. Too many concussions perhaps. Runners Up: .

Cough Cough Cough: Cincinnati Bengals, Up 1 with around 30 seconds to go and you've got your opponent pinned down to the 12. All looks good, except when your cornerback tips a pass up in the air directly to a wide open opposing receiver who goes 88 yards for the game winning TD. Sucks to be Leon Hall Runners Up: Leodis McKelvin giving away the kickoff, Jay Cutler did a nice job of helping to give away the game in his Bears debut.

The Shocker: Nothing, I went 14-2 on spreadless picks for a reason, week 1 was basically shock free. Even the Cardinals game wasn't that shocking given the recent success the 49ers have had when playing in Arizona.

The Pimp: Drew Brees, We all pretty much knew that Brees was either going to be the #1 or #2 fantasy quarterback but 6 touchdowns in week 1? Damn. I'd imagine 99% of the people who have Brees were victorious week 1, and if you had him and somehow lost than the rest of your team must be turrible.Runners Up: Adrian Peterson and his 3 tds, The Eagles and their 5 INTs

You Got JAKKED UP: Whoever the Hell Messed With Kris Jenkins,


My Fantasy MVP: Fred Jackson, Hoorah for hime getting starting time while Marshawn Lynch is suspended. His effort on monday night combined with the efforts of Randy Moss helped me overcome the annoyance of facing

New York Jets MVP: Dirty Sanchez, He likely wasn't the MVP of the game, truly it was the defensive front 7, but in his first game as starter Sanchez did a more than solid job. He was terrific on third down. He got the ball in the spots he needed to and he was a big factor in them winning the game. Even if he was the sole reason Houston scored 7 points.

But God I love Kris Jenkins.

My Picks

My Picks: 14-2
Preseason Picks: 14-2
Picks Vs. Spread: 8-8
Pick Suggestions: 2-3

Well now look at the difference between picking games normally and picking games via the spread.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

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...
