NFL Week 5 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: Oakland Raiders, How exactly has this team won a football game? It's baffling. This team was run out of the building and outclassed by the Giants in 5 minutes. Runners Up: the Bills losing a game where the opposing QB throws two completions, the Rams are here every week.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Those of Us Who Believed Brady Would Return as God Immediately, The man is coming back relatively early from a devastating knee injury, yet most of us just figured he'd come back and fire on all cylinders. This is not happening and the Pats have two losses because of it. Runners Up: Steve Spagnolo for taking the Rams job, any free agent who signed with the Raiders.

Cough Cough Cough: Houston Texans, You storm back to tie the game only to watch your QB give up a pick 6. Then you storm down the field and are sitting on the goal line but fail to get in. Serious choke job. Runners Up: the Jets defense couldn't do anything against the WildCat or Henne, the Pats blew away their victory.

The Shocker: The Seahawks, The Seahawks Jaguars game went into the weekend as basically a pick'em game. The problem with that philosophy was that with Hasselbeck the Seahawks are actually good while the Jaguars are completely inconsistent. Runners Up: I still can't believe the Broncos are 5-0, the Bungles are now 4-1.

The Pimp: Miles Austin, Raise your hand if you knew who Miles Austin was prior to this week? Now Miles Austin is the Cowboy who had 250 yards receiving in a single game with a game winning td in overtime. Runners Up: .

You Got JAKKED UP: Chad OchoCinco,


My Fantasy Anti-MVP: The Jets Defense, Having a defense put up -1 point and losing by 2 is very very annoying, especially when the defense is the team you want to win.

New York Jets Anti-MVP: The Jets Defense, This will require a full on rant.

My Picks

My Picks: 9-5
Preseason Picks: 9-5
Picks Vs. Spread: 6-8
Pick Suggestions: 2-3

Ugh... Everything about this NFL week sucked.

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...
