Quick Notes: Handling Multiple Small But Mildly Coherent Thoughts

Don't particularly have anything worthy of dedicating a large coherent post to so we bring the quick notes.

NFL

~Santonio Holmes and his gigantic dong are now a New York Jet (starting week 5). Weeee! Giving up a 5th round pick for a receiver that over 1200+ yards seems like stealing but I guess the Steelers are attempting to de-Douchify their roster. The combination of Keller/Edwards/Holmes/Cotchery will probably make Dirty Sanchez a very very happy quarterback next season. Now he just needs to not suck.

~Speaking of the Jets bringing in a Class A Douche, the New York Jets have pulled a complete 180 as a franchise since the Mangini days. They are now bringing in highly flawed character guys instead of focusing on high character guys. They went from a locked down nobody gets information from anyone society to on Hard Knocks.

~Chad Henne is probably todays happiest person.

~M(r)s. Johnette Howard went a little overboard yesterday proclaiming the Patriots dead and the Jets king of the AFC East. Maybe it's the pessimism of being a Jet fan but the Pats have won the division basically every season Tom Brady had an ACL. Can we calm down a bit and wait til the season starts?

MLB

~It was nice to see Matsui get such a big ovation on opening day at the Stadium. He was as clutch as they come and obviously won the MVP. With that being said, I think I'm already over it. Because...

~Nick Johnson is going to love Yankee Stadium. As long as he doesn't get injured (might take a minor miracle) and stops playing Miley Cyrus as his AB music, he's going to have a monster year in the Bronx.

~Amazing how many injuries happen over the course of the first week of the season. J-Roll appears to be down. Miguel Montero is out. Chipper is already doing his annual injury rotation. Brian Roberts is on the DL. Etc.

~The Mets rotation might be the worst in major league baseball. John Maine is DONE. Pelfrey is a headcase. Niese is unproven and Ollie P might still be garbage. It could be a very long and empty season at ShCiti Field.

~Dear O-Dog, Shut up. Jermaine Dye doesn't have a job not because he is black but because he rejected multiple offers and those teams went on to sign other players. Gary Sheffield doesn't have a job because he's over 40 and he's an asshole.

~Mike Napoli makes me sad.

NBA

~The Celtics are pretty much a rotting corpse right now and will likely get bounced easily by the Cavs if not by the Heat. The Cs sold their soul for a single title which no person can bitch about at all, but I can dream of what would have happened if they wound up with the 2nd pick of that lottery and their current starting 5 was Rondo, Pierce, Durant, Big Al, Perk. Right?

~I hope OKC stays at #8 because Durant vs. Kobe round 1 would be fun.

~Dell Curry can't vote for his son as Rookie of the Year. This is news!

NHL

~Has John Tortorella been fired yet?

~Hockey playoffs start tonight. Perhaps I will put together a predictions bracket which will be sure to fail.

College Football

~Way to go RichRod! You go and get your old university in trouble for practice violations.

~Speaking of Michigan vs. West Virginia, I think I need to dedicate an entire post to just how miserable this stealing Mountaineer coaches has gone for the Wolverines compared to WVU.

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...
