NFL Week 10 Pick Suggestions

I absolutely hate the first Thursday night game because every single year I forget to make my pick for that game. Whatever I probably would have backed Brady Quinn anyway.

5. Detroit Lions (+6 1/2) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Ok ok this pick seems really really dumb and I really wouldn't put any money on it, but I'm loyal. The Lions have been spread champs the past few weeks and well I'm still riding the wave until the crash. (Which will almost certainly be sunday)

4. New Orleans Saints (+ 1/2) at Atlanta Falcons
I think that after the London victory the Saints are ready to bust into the next gear and start rattling off win after win after win.

3. Tennessee Titans (-3 1/2) at Chicago Bears
The Titans will lose this regular season but it will not be against the Sex Cannon, protegee of the Great Arm Punter.

2. Carolina Panthers (-9 1/2) at Oakland Raiders
The Raiders got three first downs last week. 3. Do we need to elaborate anymore why they are going to lose to a 6-2 football team by double digits?

1. New England Patriots (-3 1/2) vs. Buffalo Bills
The Bills are a product of luck and an easy opening schedule. They have come up flat the last two weeks within the division and they will do it again in the Razor.

Survivor League Pick: SCREW Seattle
San Diego because Norv Turner likes to dick people over in survivor leagues.

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...
