Now Is a Wonderful Time to Go On a Tailspin

The Yankees have already won 95 games they are on pace to win over 100 games and with another victory or a Rangers loss they will clinch a playoff birth. So its not really time to jump off the bridge and panic just yet, but over the past two weeks they are giving Yankee fans a lot to be concerned about.

1) Now Is Not a Good Time to Play Your Worst Baseball
The Yankees are 12-8 in the month of September thus far. This record is only better than in April when they went 12-10. In July the Yankees went 18-9. In August the Yankees went 21-7. When the team starts playing its worst baseball preceding the playoffs some people are going to start worrying.

2) Can You Beat the Damn Angels Already?
No seriously this is old. Its been old for about a decade now and it isn't getting anymore enjoyable. The Yankees have the next two days to attempt to shake a little of the curse of the rally monkey off, but starting Chad Gaudin tonight doesn't seem overly promising.

3) What the Hell Did You Do to Joba?
If there was a paper written about the methods most effective to turn a dominating starter into a confused 23 year old who has no idea what the hell to do on the mound, it would be called the Joba Chamberlain Story 09. The Yankees constant tinkering with his innings and under the Joba Rules in the second half of the season have morphed the once dominant Joba into a pitcher that right now, might not even be deserving of the #4 spot in a Postseason rotation.

4) The Red Sox Have Returned
They took a big nap in the middle of the season but with the addition of Victor Martinez, their lineup is once again formidable and the rotation has just been fortified with the return of Dice-K who looks much more like Dice-K 08 than Dice-K 09.

The regular season is over just yet and because of this there is no reason to panic, but it would be nice if the Yanks got their head out of the asses this week and won a few games against teams they will have to beat in October.

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.
