Weekly Waste of Oxygen

So I think with my new found love for polls I'm going to set up a weekly friday post that highlights the douches of the week, the people who have proven through their actions during the current week that the planet would be better off without.

So who are our first contestants...

1. Gary Sheffield - Gary came out and threw out conspiracy theories about him getting suspended and about Latin players falling in line while Black players will always be who they be. Shut the hell up.

2. Billy Donovan - What says annoying more than spurring a weeklong story that didn't have too many sidebars. Billy Donovan made us talk for a week about nothing, including myself, and he definately douched over Anthony Grant.

3. Johnnie Morton - Not only were you a bust in the NFL, especially for the Lions, but you got knocked the F out by a comedian in your MMA match and then you didn't even agree for the steroid test post fight. Which implies that you were on steroids and you still got knocked out. Nice.

4. Drunken Dutch Fan - He's the chap who ran on the field during a 3-3 tie took a swing at the ref, forced the UEFA to disqualify the Dutch, which eliminated their country from qualifying for the European Tournament. Talk About being a solid countryman.

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...

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...
