Chasing Lines: Why Are There No Lines On NOTY?

This post is brought to you by SPORTSBETTING.com. Get best online sports betting bonuses at this sportsbook.

It's March Madness which means every radio program, blog, mother, cousin, board 2nd grader, etc. is coming up with some bracket of 64 things with the objective of deciphering what is best. The best of all of these brackets on a consistent basis is Name of the Year or NOTY. Of course due to the the fact that this actually isn't a sporting activity and resides on a blogger website there aren't any Vegas lines for whom the favorites are. Well I'm saying there should be and well, I'm going to label the Top 10 Favorites for 2010 NOTY.

10. Pencilman Jeffries - Underrated quality name that just might take the Crotchtangle Region.

9. Spartacus Bernstein - This name screams POWER and JEW. Or WARRIOR and JEW. Or 300 and JEW. Something and JEW. It's got potential.

8. Gregor Schwinghammer Jr. - Gregor was birthed by Schwinghammer Sr., aka Austin Powers.

7t. Stalin Felipe & Hitler Makofane -In the most intriguing of first round matchups we get bitter enemies from World War 2. I'm leaning Hitler on this one.

6. Nojay Nimpson - Sounds like some future parent was involved in a bet with their black friend over whether OJ would be convicted, and lost.

5. X'Zavier Bloodsaw - If there was any justice all people named Bloodsaw would be linebackers in the mold of Ray Lewis.

4. Dick Smallberries Jr. -I guess some parents just want their children to enjoy the same ridicule they enjoyed as a child.

3. Charity Beaver - How in the world is Charity Beaver a 16 seed?

2. Dr. Speedy Nutz -Not only a quality name but also a Doctor.

1. God's Power Offor - Not Quite God Shammgod, but I don't think you can bet against God and his Power Offor.

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...
