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...

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...
