Here is the annual Helmet Schedule for the Bowls... Got enoguh requests where I figured I'd put it out here.

Watching last nights game got me thinking, when did the Intentional Walk become all the rage? During the entire 162 game regular season the St. Louis Cardinals intentionally walked a total of 44 batters while the Texas Rangers intentionally walked just 21. The intentional walk is something normally reserved for a special occasion, like the pitcher is coming up next, or the winning run is on 2nd in the 9th inning and you want to set up a force play. Last night alone the two teams combined for a total of 6 intentional walks and instead of strategy it just seemed like the casual thing to do. In some cases these walks backfired and in some cases they were completely befuddling. The Rangers decided, Fuck it, we're not pitching to Albert Pujols in any scenario. Hell we're not even going to pitch to him with 2 outs and no one on. Conveniently for Ron Washington, of the three times they intentionally walked Pujols the only time Holliday didn't do something horrific, like bo...

Not really, but I am tied for the 1st round lead with 13 others after round 1 in their best ball challenge .

Oh the Red Sox fans, so cute with their addition skills. 04 + 07 = 11 . It's their year. Ugh. Vomit. Ugh. I've got math too, it says "Snobby Yankee Fan, we have more championships than you. Even if 22 of them came before I was born."

You know who doesn't need to see to hit a baseball off Roy Oswalt's head ? Manny Ramirez, that's who.

You think filling out an NCAA bracket is difficult? Try filling out a CIT bracket where the round 2 opponents aren't lined up or solidified and four of the teams will be chosen after round 1 to get a bye based on some selection criteria. This bracket is gonna be so so wrong. This describes the movement. Red Arrows mean 2nd round byes. Green Arrows mean win and move to the next round. In the end the obvious choice is Iona. They have the smallest name and was the easiest to copy and paste from spot to spot.

Here is your 2011 CollegeInsiders.com Tournament Bracket... The creation of the bracket is incredibly fluid as not only do they actually have no hard line bracket of who will play whom next, they also have a new system in place where 4 of the winners in the first round will receive byes into the Quarterfinals and skip the 2nd round. The logic behind this is stated as "RPI ranking, strength of schedule, conference ranking and geography" so essentially who the hell knows. Each team is posted with their RPI.

Who wants the 2011 College Basketball Invitational Bracket? You do! I am a massive expert of the 2010-2011 college basketball mid majors. So much so that I know that Boise State wears bright blue and bright orange uniforms and that Cobe Karl used to go there. For that reason and that reason alone, they are clearly the favorites of this tournament and as the favorite they will dominate. Duquesne/URI/Davidson meet them in the epic final four with URI falling in the 3 game series due to blinding orange.

BOOM Hokies. I think after 4 years of bubble time for the boys from Hokieland that Delaney and the other seniors will step up and want to leave campus with a good taste in their mouth. The other final 4 teams in MSG are Harvard (for fun), Colorado (snub #2) and Missouri State (uh, don't know why).

EDSBS created a game to play in your boredom. It's a random Album Cover Generator . Here's my result... "Former Latino boy band star Gabino Velasco spiraled into uncontrollable drug usage once his former band disassembled. After years of battling both heroin and cocaine addictions, Valesco is back searching for a new path to stardom. His solo debut "Stop Doing and Concentrate on Being" is a blend of Nu Metal and Latin Reggae which is sure to top the Mexican charts"

Who Invited Joe Blanton to the press Conference?

The 2011 SI Swimsuit Edition consists of 5 different rookies. The combination of the five, makes up this years entire body paint section, which means some good pictures. Of the five all of them are beautiful, but one is hands down the winner when it comes to rookie of the year. 5. Shannon Click: Blond, tall and very skinny. Beautiful obviously but in a slender athletic way. 4. Alyssa Miller: The next three is basically drawing straws. All three are blond all have similar physiques. Alyssa gets #4 cause when I see her I think Angelina Jolie a bit which, I just might be the only heterosexual male that thinks that she is attractive but not extremely attractive. 3. Izabel Goulart: Izabel gets #3 for me cause she resembles Alexandria Ambrosio, which is high compliment, but not overly unique. 2. Kenza Fourati: I think she gives off a mysterious french european vibe that screams at you. 1. Kate Upton: The pictures pretty much speak for themselves . She's 18 and if sh...

In 2010 Carlos Gonzalez was a hero to all of his fantasy owners. He paid out his owners who likely drafted him above the 10th round a pay day of #1 on the player rater. In all likelihood this will not happen this season, but let us take a look at some of the names who might generate some buzz and have the potential to join the ranks of the top 10. Before we get into whom may wind up being the CarGo of 2011, let us first take a look at any of the indicators for the breakout campaign that he may have given us during the 2009 season and the 2010 spring which. Finishing Off Strong / Figuring It Out Post AllStar: 62 Games, 42 Runs, 10 DBs, 12 HRs, 24 RBI, 11 SB, .384 OBP, .608 SLG%, .320 BA Playoffs: 4 Games, 5 Runs, 2 DBs, 1 HRs, 1 RBI, 2 SB, .632 OBP, .882 SLG%, .588 BA One thing that I always try to look at (and sometimes it bites me in the ass Josh Towers 06 ), is how a younger player finishes off the season. For Carlos Gonzalez the 2009 season was two stark differences.  ...

Super Bowl Boxes are a glorious way for you, on one day during the calendar year, to gamble with your office mates or buddies (and unlike March Madness this requires zero skill or thought at all). Chances are you at this very moment have a spreadsheet on your computer or a print out on your desk that has your name in a variety of boxes. You are sitting there looking at each box likely thinking "OH COME ON 2-5? What kind of BS is that?" or you are celebrating a glorious number like 0-3 or 0-7. Well, how about we delve into the 44 year history of the Super Bowl and take a look into just exactly what has hit. 1st Quarter The First Quarter's distribution can be defined by 1 word, "boring". Out of 100 boxes only 13 have come up in 44 games. 10 of which wound up at 0-0 which is the most likely combo to get some form of payout. In addition, 10 games have finished at 3-0 and 8 at 7-0. In other words, if you don't have a 0-3-7 combo, than you can just about c...

Taco Bell is currently in the news for being sued over their fake beef. They have fought back with a full page newspaper ad saying their beef is 88% percent BEEF and 12% secret . Since I don't think a pansy one page newspaper ad with the guts and heart of Jay Cutler will be enough, I present to you the Taco Bell 2011 Super Bowl Commercial. It Starts with a Trip in a Limo to a Mystery Location (Yes it's the Stupid Dominoes Ad) To Some Random Feed Lot in Mexico... "Do You Think Taco Bell Wants You to Know What Their Beef is Made of? Do you Think you DESERVE to know what kind of Cow they Use? Well I have a surprise for you..." "Boom, Kenny Mother Fucking Powers loves tacos" "Ahhhhh the mullet, the Jheri curl juice, in the sauce?" "Shut up bitch and give me a blow job... Oh my lines. You know what's more powerful than a Kenny Powers Fastball?" "Fucking nothing that's right, but this comes close..." ...

In life there is often no bigger motivator than a previous failure and the desire to overcome it. The Human thirst for revenge and vengeance is an unending chain in our DNA. In this years playoffs, nothing has defined it more so than revenge. Wildcard Round January 24th, 2010: AFC Championship Game, New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts In Rex Ryan's season the Jets managed to shock everybody, not only by backing into the playoffs but by pulling off two road upsets to set up 60 minutes for a potential trip to the Super Bowl. It was not to be as the Colts and Peyton Manning led a swift comeback to put to 09 Jets where they belonged, not in the NFL Title Game. This loss stuck with Rex the entire season and resulted in a "This is Personal" theme prior to gameday... New York Jets 17 - Indianapolis Colts 16 November 21st, 2010: Seattle Seahawks at New Orleans Saints The Seahawks in the midst of their swan dive went into New Orleans in late November and came away with ...

He should definitely send pictures of his purple helmet to Roger Goodell as a thank you for not suspending him.
