Week 9 NFL Pick Suggestions

After a horrendous week, I feel like just guessing.

1. Carolina Panthers (+14 1/2) at New Orleans Saints
The Panthers are going to rush for 2 hundred plus yards and the Del Homie is going to throw for less than 2 interceptions. They're still going to lose, but not by more than two touchdowns.

2. Green Bay Packers (-10 1/2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs are truly atrocious. They are starting Josh Freeman fro the first time. The Packers desperately need a win to get back on track. The Packers have to kill them right?

3. Atlanta Falcons (-10 1/2) vs. Washington Redskins
The Redskins are also terrible. The are surrounded by non-stop bitching and controversy. They just lost their Tight End for the season. The Falcons like the Packers are desperate and need a win. They win by double digits right?

4. Kansas City Chiefs (+6.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars are a team of confusion. I don't get them. The Chiefs just suck. But I'm picking them anyway cause I don't trust the Jags to win any game by a touchdown.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (-3 1/2) at Denver Broncos
Honestly fuck the Broncos. I think I've gotten every single game they played wrong this season. I finally change my tune and pick them to cover the spread last week and they get fucking killed. I'm back to picking against them.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Falcons
I'm not too comfortable with this pick as the Redskins are coming off a bye and the Falcons aren't exactly king shit. But I think i get to 9-0.

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...
