NFL Week 11 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: The Rams, I don't know if it's possible to get yourself more embarrassed in two weeks than the Ram did. It's bad enough to be getting pummeled by a division leader, but to get destroyed by a 2-7 team? Ouch. Runners Up: the Iggles needed a win and could not get it done, Da Bears had Da worst offense of the weekend.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Donovan McNabb, I mean this is obvious. Runners Up: Trent Edwards decided it was best to throw the ball to the other team the entire first quarter, the Refs in the Pittsburgh game.

Cough Cough Cough: The Raiders, The Raiders offense was atrocious yet again, but this week they were bailed out by an enormous punt return and had the opportunity to win but couldn't stop a last minute drive. Runners Up: the Iggles on every single drive in overtime, Ryan Lindell missing the game winner.

The Shocker: Tie, There hasn't been one in 6 years so anytime you see two NFL teams unable to score in an overtime it's a shocker. Runners Up: The Jets actually beat New England, the Bears decided not to show up in Green Bay.

The Pimp: Matt Cassel, 400 yards passing and 60 yards on the ground plus 3 touchdowns and zero turnovers against a division rival is pretty pimp. Runners Up: Kurt Warner can not throw less than 350 yards, Justin Gage broke away for massive plays in helping the Titans stay unbeaten.

You Got Jakked Up: Isaac Stockton, Best catch ever? Or just most painful ever?

My Fantasy Anti-MVP: Donovan McNabb, The Bengals are terrible and you turn the ball over 4 times? Shit.

New York Jets MVP: Thomas Jones, He keeps on getting it done week in and week out.

My Picks

My Picks: 12-4
Preseason Picks: 10-6
Picks Vs. Spread: 10-6
Pick Suggestions: 2-3

I counted the Bengals Eagles game as wrong for both the preseason picks and my picks. Is that right or is it a push?

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
