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?

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...
