78 In A Row, And Perhaps the Biggest Example Why Women's BBall Is Flawed

The UConn women just completed two perfect seasons. They did something that no team has even come close to achieving since the UCLA days of dominance. They eviscerated all of their competition and even managed to win the National Championship game despite playing like complete crap. They are the best of the best. And yet, personally I think the Huskies are the prime example why Women's Basketball frankly doesn't catch the attention span of men around the country. Let us count the reasons why...

1) The Games Aren't Competitive
In two years last night was the first game that the Huskies won by less than a double digit margin. Essentially no games UConn has played in two years has had any kind of drama in the closing minutes. You could comfortably turn off every game at the 2 minute mark knowing that UConn had won.

2) The Tournament Lacks Any Drama
Maybe Tennessee losing had some drama but in reality the Womens Tournament typical flows as you would expect. The best team wins essentially every year and with ease. Hell I didn't watch a single second of Womens basketball this year and I got the final right in my bracket.

3) Frankly I Don't Think They Are That Good
Maybe it's me being some kind of sexist ape (and I am eating a banana right now) but I think the UConn women would get the shit kicked out of them by every single Men's team that made the NCAA tournament. Hell they probably would lose to Division 2 and perhaps even Division 3 or high school mens teams. I don't think dunking is a necessary requirement for entertaining basketball but last night pitted the best two teams in the nation, a combined 74-1 going into the game, and neither team could make a single shot in the first half and the UConn women shot 9-22 from the free throw line. The teams combined to go just 37-126 from the field. This all while using a smaller ball that's easier to score.

Maybe I'm supposed to take the games with a grain of salt and say wow look what these girls can do, they are way better than me, but in reality I feel like I see nothing I couldn't see at a local pickup game.

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.
