Carl Pavano, Now an Important Baseball Player [vomit]

Well yesterday was enough to make any Yankee fan vomit. Carl Pavano pitching in the most important start of the 2009 regular season and throwing on three days rest picks up the victory. Granted he was helped mightily by incredible run support but still, the words Pavano, win, three days left, and playoffs uttered in the same sentence are baffling to myself and any other Yankee fan.

Carl Pavano has been with the Twins for less than 2 months and he's already won more meaningful games than he did in four years for the Yankees, and he's doing so for way less money. Oh the humor of it all.

In four seasons with the Yankees Pavano garnered 8 victories and 9 defeats over 26 starts. He did so while pitching to a 5.00 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. In two months with the Twins Pavano won 5 games and lost 4 over 12 starts while pitching to a 4.64 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. While with the Yankees Pavano won just 2 games during the month of September. In his time with the Twins Pavano recorded 2 September victories and an elusive October victory, something he did not accomplish in pin stripes. And finally if Scott Baker and the Twins can win at home tomorrow, Pavano will get one more thing he did not get while in the Bronx, a postseason start.

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.
