Super Bowl Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: The Replay Booth, Seriously? That last play did not warrant a replay? To me it certainly looked like Warner's hand was coming forward, whether or not the ball was still in his hand was more questionable. And hence replay could have been utilized to discern this. Runners Up: Ike Taylor was abused, Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie was also abused.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: The Boss, You're going to drive your crotch into the face of America? Was that a good idea? I truly hate the half time show. Runners Up: Daniels can't count to 11 and botched up our Squares.

Cough Cough Cough: Kurt Warner, For as great as Kurt Warner played the majority of the game, his one mistake is what cost the Cardinals the Super Bowl. He doesn't throw a 100 yard interception and they are taking home the trophy. Runners Up: Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie was absolutely terrible.

The Shocker: The Cardinals, Who really thought that the Cardinals would be in the Super Bowl this season? Do you even think delusional Cardinal could have even dreamt this up? They were only minutes away from a Championship, it just wasn't meant to be. Runners Up: Kurt Warner owns the 3 highest passing yard totals in Super Bowl History.

The Pimp: Larry Fitzgerald, The Man is uncoverable. He will be a force for the next decade and has stamped his foot down having the best post season of any Receiver in history. Runners Up: Santonio Holmes busted out his dong and slapped the Cards in the face, Big Ben has two Super Bowls which is 2 more than the Jets have in my life time.

You Got Jakked Up: The Media, Honestly I don't remember any big hits or any commercials that were entertaining.

New York Jets MVP: Nobody, Super Bowl... Ha That's Laughable!!!

My Picks 1-0

I got the Steelers score right and was 3 off on the Cardinals score. That's not bad.

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...

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...
