Dear Eric Mangini

Dear Eric Mangini,

Hi Eric. I know you are having a rough year. You are 1-11. You can't make up your mind who your quarterback is. You traded away all your offensive weapons for some draft picks and a few Jets players you were fond of. It's been a tough year and you might just be thinking about having the #1 pick and dreaming of drafting Ndamakong Suh already. But let's think about the present for a second. You might be on the chopping block. You really could use a win to give some of the folks in Cleveland some joy and what better time than now. Even if you go 2-14, if you're second win comes with the benefits of smashing the playoff hopes of the defending Superbowl Champions than at the very least Cleveland fans can ridicule Steeler fans and say "Our shitty team knocked you out of the playoffs." It's probably enough to keep your job.

So let's get it done tonight Eric. We are all behind you. Send the Steelers to an early January vaction.

Thanks and Good Luck,
The Rest of the AFC

PS. If you can shut down Big Ben that would be great for our fantasy teams as well. Thanks again.

Apparently your use of the force was successful last night.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
