NFL Week 4 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: St. Louis Rams, And the Rams win the award for the 3rd time this season, this time emphatically. How exactly do you lose 35-0 to a team that's likely just an average to slightly above average football team? Runners Up: Tony Homo can't get it done, whoever was trying to block Jared Allen.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: NFL Prognosticators, I'd like to find one NFL mind that had the Titans sitting at 0-4 after four games. Not only are they 0-4, but they lost emphatically on sunday when practically everyone picked them to win. Runners Up: the Raiders for continually playing JaMarcus, the Bills for thinking TO would work with Trent Edwards.

Cough Cough Cough: Mark Clayton, When its 4th down and your team is down less than a score and your quarterback hits you in the numbers, you need to hold onto the ball. Runners Up: the Bucs had their shot to win a game but couldn't hold on, Mark Sanchez throws ball to wrong team.

The Shocker: The Broncos, I'm stubbornly still not going to believe in them because I don't understand why their defense is dominant. But they are 4-0 and to me that is stunning. Absolutely stunning. Runners Up: any NFL team losing a game 35-0 is shocking, the Dolphins breaking out the beating stick.

The Pimp: Brett Favre, Facing the old squad the Gunslinger got his vengeance. He threw for 3 tds and had they not taken their foot off the gas pedal in the 4th quarter he just might have thrown for more. Runners Up: Rashard Mendhenhall gets the full load and he is dominant, Steve Smith doesn't need Plaxico.

You Got JAKKED UP: Tom Brady's Knee, Just kidding, he barely got touched.

My Fantasy Anti-MVP: LaDainian Tomlinson, Hey LDT, how about you put up some kind of fantasy points to be worthy of your pick.

New York Jets Anti-MVP: Mark Sanchez, When you're the quarterback and you are directly responsible for 14 points for the other team, chances are good the other team is going to win.

My Picks

My Picks: 11-5
Preseason Picks: 12-4
Picks Vs. Spread: 9-7
Pick Suggestions: 2-3

A step backwards...

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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
