Fellow Blogger Clay Travis put it best, the SEC is as sure fire an investment as anything over the past two decades. If you bet on the SEC in the Title Game you make money.

As of right now Alabama is favored by just 4 points over the Texas Longhorns. If I was a gambling man this would seem like a steal to me. Mack Brown's coaching "genius" is built strictly on Vince Young's superiority and the state of Texas' ability to crank out 5 star athlete after 5 star athlete. Meanwhile Nick Saban is probably the best overall coach in College Football. He has won everywhere he has been. He has morphed teams from meh to top of the heap.

Furthermore, for all of Florida's lack of playing anyone this season, it was evident in the Sugar Bowl that they still are in fact a juggernaut. They are a juggernaut that was thoroughly dominated by Bama. Meanwhile, who exactly has Texas shown their worth against? The Big 12 was meh this season. Okie St. and Oklahoma were without their best players. The Longhorns OOC was in general a joke. Their undefeated season is no more credible than was Cincinnati's.

To be blunt, Bama should win this game comfortably and the four points you lay on Bama will not put a single bead of sweat on your forehead.

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.
