Quick Analysis of NBA Trade Rumors

Jason Kidd to the Lakers: This move makes perfect sense for the Lakers however they for some reason are unwilling to let Bynum go and to me if the Nets do not get Bynum then there is no purpose in making this trade. They would quickly sink their franchise, and receive nothing for it. That makes no sense. I understand that the Lakers don't want to give up a 2nd year player out of high school who has played very well this season, but just come out and admit you have no intention of beating the Mavericks or Suns, because getting Kidd gives you that chance. Expectation: Kidd remains

Vince Carter to the Clippers: Trading Vince Carter makes sense for the Nets, he can opt out of his contract at the end of the season and most likely will. So unless you can gain assurance that he will be back for the next two seasons than get what you can for him. Which most likely won't be much as I'm sure any other suitor wants some assurances he will be around the next two seasons as well. Apparently the Nets denied a Carter for Maggette and Mobley deal and are searching for Shaun Livingston, which I don't think they have a hope or prayer of getting. Expectation: Carter remains

Gasol to the Bulls: The Grizzlies are looking for 2 players from Deng, Hinrich, Nocioni, Gordon in return, not going to happen. The Bulls should have made the KG deal in years past, but giving up 2 of those guys for Gasol doesn't really make too much sense given Gasol is not a #1 player on a championship team, and not necessarily a go to clutch scorer. Expectation: Gasol stays

Bibby to the Cavs: Heard a rumor last night that the Cavs, T-Wolves and Kings were talking three way deal where the Cavs ended up with Bibby. Bibby makes a bunch of sense for the Cavs, can shoot, can handle, can hit big shots. The Kings aren't going to make the playoffs and should reshuffle their roster, and Kevin McHale is an idiot and thus a perfect third buffer. I think it makes sense but something will make it not work. Expectation: Bibby stays

Brevin Knight to the Cavs: When Bibby doesn't work out the Cavs will scramble and settle for Brevin Knight, which will do little to improve their roster. Expectation: Happens and is insignificant.

Overall: Nothing big is going to happen, it's all smoke and mirrors, some mid-tier to low-tier guys will get moved but we've already seen the AI trade this year, and you can't expect another high profile player to get dealt.

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.
