NFL Weekend Review

Week 1 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: The Tampa Bay Bend-Over Buccaneers just decided that because I said they were going to have a very very good season that they would take it up the rump week 1. And show no threat on offense or defense. Maybe the Ravens are going to be a good team this year but at home week 1 that was the worst possible way to start a season. Runners Up: Patriots 2 point slopfest win, Seahawks 9 point offense.

Cough Cough Cough: The weeks number one choker is a toss up, but the award goes to Jake Plummer who seems to have decided that he wants to become the turnover machine that we have all grown to love and adore in the past. Runners Up: Drew "I love to Pass to them Jaguars" Bledsoe, Mike Nugent 2 missed short FGs and an extra point to turn it from a blowout to a game.

The Shocker: I am not 100% surprised that Baltimore beat Tampa but the way they did was completely shocking. Tampa ate a heaping helping of shit sandwich. Runners Up: St. Louis over Denver, Atlanta over Carolina.

The Pimp: This weeks pimp is Donovan "I don't need no TO" McNabb. Sure it was against the Texans and we all know they blow, but 3 tds and a solid amount of yards has the feather back in McNabbs top hat. Runners Up: Kurt "I Love Week 1" Warner, Jeff "6 FGs" Wilkins.

You Got JAKKED UP: If you find a Kansas City helmet rolling around the streets with a head still inside it belongs to Trent Green, he doesnt remember how he lost his head, but he thinks he wants it back.

My Fantasy MVP: My week 1 fantasy MVP is easy, it was Frank Gore, man put up over 80 receiving and rushing yards and two tds for over 20 points helping me to a blow out week 1 victory.

New York Jets MVP: I'm a Jet fan therefore a Jet will get mentioned every week regardless of how they badly they get mauled, so this week Chadwick and his 319 yards and 2 tds is the easy winner.

My Picks

My Picks: 8-8
Preseason Picks: 9-7
Picks Vs. Spread: 6-10

So far this week is proving why I do not gamble on sports. I even changed my preseason picks and did worse because I switched to the Dolphins instead of the Steelers.

Week 1 Extra Quick Notes

~The Manning Bowl was a weird watch and I came away thinking the Gmen let one get through their grasp. Obviously the Colts have a solid team but their running game was putrid and if the Giants were able to hold onto one of the three Interceptions they had their hands on in the first half or if they didn't get so many stupid penalties which negated big plays I think they would have won the game. One way or another a tough game to swallow for any Giants fan. One thing to take away from the game as a Giants fan is that both Barber and Jacobs were beasts.

~The Jets should have destroyed the Titans the fact that they made me sweat is horrible and its all due to Mike Nugent's inability to kick. Terry Bradway the former Jets GM, made that stellar 2nd round pick.

~How many weeks will Drew Bledsoe torpedo the Cowboys season with untimely INTs, the parallel between Drew and Vinny T is incredible.

~First off why the hell did my local NYC and CT fox pick the Eagles Texans game for me to watch man that game sucked, and there was no thought of it being either a good or a big game. Secondly, David Carr still gets hit on every play, and they have no running game. By the end of the season Bush will have close to 1500 total yards and Williams will have a handful of sacks.

~That leads me to this Charlie Casserly, the guy who drafted Williams then resigned almost immediately, is the CBS PreGame Show "GM", where they ask him to respond to questions as a GM would think. Why do these networks hire horrible GMs like him and Steve Philips and expect us to respect their opinions.

~Green Bay blows & The Raiders Suck.

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...
