Great Athletic BJs

In honor of Steak and a BJ day we are here to salute the Great Athletic BJs of our time.

BJ Ryan - A crazy long haired big ass closer.

BJ Upton - A young stud prospect who unfortunately plays for Tampa Bay.

BJ Askew - A former Jet who has pretty much accomplished nothing.

BJ Sander - A useless punter from Ohio St.

BJ Sams - A punt return specialist for the Ravens who missed the entire season.

The NBA BJ

BJ Armstrong - Rode Michael and Scottie to NBA titles. Probably handed out a BJ or two in his day.

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.

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?

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...
