NFL Week 1 Awards

Wow You Guys Suck: St. Louis Rams, Well it certainly looks like the Rams are back to where they left off the 2008 season, sucking hard. 28-0 in the season opener says the offense and Marc Bulger are still terrible and that the defense isn't anything great either. Runners Up: The Texans offensive line was dominated by a Jets defense minus two starters, the Lions Secondary.

This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Jake Delhomme, Someone check Jake's eyesight because I don't think he fully understands what color uniforms his team wears. He might think they wear green. Too many concussions perhaps. Runners Up: .

Cough Cough Cough: Cincinnati Bengals, Up 1 with around 30 seconds to go and you've got your opponent pinned down to the 12. All looks good, except when your cornerback tips a pass up in the air directly to a wide open opposing receiver who goes 88 yards for the game winning TD. Sucks to be Leon Hall Runners Up: Leodis McKelvin giving away the kickoff, Jay Cutler did a nice job of helping to give away the game in his Bears debut.

The Shocker: Nothing, I went 14-2 on spreadless picks for a reason, week 1 was basically shock free. Even the Cardinals game wasn't that shocking given the recent success the 49ers have had when playing in Arizona.

The Pimp: Drew Brees, We all pretty much knew that Brees was either going to be the #1 or #2 fantasy quarterback but 6 touchdowns in week 1? Damn. I'd imagine 99% of the people who have Brees were victorious week 1, and if you had him and somehow lost than the rest of your team must be turrible.Runners Up: Adrian Peterson and his 3 tds, The Eagles and their 5 INTs

You Got JAKKED UP: Whoever the Hell Messed With Kris Jenkins,


My Fantasy MVP: Fred Jackson, Hoorah for hime getting starting time while Marshawn Lynch is suspended. His effort on monday night combined with the efforts of Randy Moss helped me overcome the annoyance of facing

New York Jets MVP: Dirty Sanchez, He likely wasn't the MVP of the game, truly it was the defensive front 7, but in his first game as starter Sanchez did a more than solid job. He was terrific on third down. He got the ball in the spots he needed to and he was a big factor in them winning the game. Even if he was the sole reason Houston scored 7 points.

But God I love Kris Jenkins.

My Picks

My Picks: 14-2
Preseason Picks: 14-2
Picks Vs. Spread: 8-8
Pick Suggestions: 2-3

Well now look at the difference between picking games normally and picking games via the spread.

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...
