NFL Week 13 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: The Rams, Out of all the teams why do I pick on the Rams? It's simple. Unlike the Browns, Bucs and other crappy teams, the Rams have an elite player. Every week Steven Jackson still manages to rush for 100+ yards but they still lose. Its a complete waste of his skills. Runners Up: the Cowboys are ready for their December nosedive, the Browns because they must be included.

Cough Cough Cough: Sean Suisham, There have been some big time choke jobs for kickers but for my money this ranks second behind John Carney's missed extra point after the miracle Saint td a few years back. Missing a 23 yarder that would have iced the game is just pathetic. Runners Up: Kareem Moore for literally coughing up the ball after his INT, the Pittsburg Steelers defense just can't close.

The Shocker: Pittsburgh Steelers, Every time the Raiders win a game I am shocked. Watching the Jets and the Giants play the Raiders is was like watching an NFL team playing a D1-AA school in their annual cupcake game. So when the Raiders win I am just baffled. The Steelers are now in a position to miss the playoffs as a result. Runners Up: who saw the Redskins essentially outplaying the Saints the entire game, the Dolphins coming back was pretty shocking.

The Pimp: Chad Henne, So who had Chad Henne pegged for 335 yards and two touchdowns on sunday? Yep no one. But somehow someway the Dolphins are in control of their own destiny. Runners Up: Tony Romo must wonder if he should play safety as well as QB, Kurt Warner made playing QB look easy on Sunday night.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Chris Brown/Gary Kubiak, Your season is on the line you have a 1st and goal so what do you dial up? A Half Back Option Pass? Ugh. So the play runs through and your running back has nowhere to go. Throw it out of bounds or out of the endzone or just get tackled. Nope. Chris Brown doesn't do bright things, instead he throws the easiest interception of all time. Runners Up: Bill Belichick might be getting a little too 4th down happy for his own good, Mike Singletary for only giving the ball to Frank Gore 9 times.

You Got JAKKED UP: EJ Henderson's Femur,
My Fantasy MVP: Bungles D, No one stood out on my team. Everyone basically put up 14 points so we'll go with the Bungles and their INT for a td.

New York Jets MVP: Darrelle Revis, The man is a hero who deserves to be cloned.

My Picks

My Picks: 10-6
Preseason Picks: 11-5
Picks Vs. Spread: 7-9

Woo... this has been one hellish season of pick'em.

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...
