Weekly Waste of Oxygen

To be completely honest this wasn't the best week for the Weekly Waste of Oxygen. Perhaps I missed a few clutch douchebag moments from the week.

1. Bill Belichick - Everyone knows by now the whole Bill Belichick film stealing scenario, no need to elaborate. Whatever the commissioner decided to drop down as a punishment was going to be seen by some as harsh and by others as lenient. Either way it shouldn't effect them for this season.

2. Shawne Williams - It must be incredibly annoying to get pulled over at 12:30 in the morning for something simple like changing lanes without signaling. Up in the Northeast it's practically mandated that you don't signal ever. It's probably more annoying when you're driving without a license, and expired license plate, a stolen handgun and with a marijuana cigar still going in your ash tray.

3. Chris Mortensen & The NY Giants - I don't know about you but the contradicting report stories coming up this week about Eli is out a month, no Eli is out a day, no Eli might be out the whole season with a separated shoulder or its just a bruise. Someone make up their god damn minds and lets come to a friggin consensus.

4. The Rutgers Fans - I understand swearing at the opposing fans. Sometimes its needed and completely justified. And sometimes you're just drunk and therefore its needed and sorta justified. But don't you think you should be a little classier when the opposing fans you are dropping F bombs at will be fighting in the Navy for your country. Go Jersey.

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...
