Favre 08 vs. 09

Both the Jets and the Vikings were on a bye this past weekend but since the it is now halfway through the season I figured it would be a good time to check in on Favre 2008 vs. Favre 2009.


If you look at the stats there is just one stark contrast between 08 and 09. This difference is the number of Arm Punts thrown. Through 8 games last season Favre had thrown 12 interceptions. This season Favre has thrown just three. I can't really explain why to be honest. Perhaps the Vikings have better deep threats in Harvin and Rice. Perhaps the rushing attack is mildly better. Perhaps the teams they play are worse. Whatever the reason Favre has been much much much better at throwing the ball to the correct colored jersey.

The rest of the numbers, like I said, are basically identical. Favre is basically throwing and completing the same amount of passes per game. His completion percentage was mildly better in 2008. He's thrown for one more touchdown thus far this season than he did through 8 games last year. He's averaging 14 yards more per game this season.

So to sum it all up, the Gunslinger that inspired Arm Punt Formations just hasn't been there this season and his team is reaping the benefits.

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.
