Giants Win World Series
Tigers lose! Tigers lose! Tigers lose!
Anyone get the reference?
Da fuq? Did anyone in the entire world see this happening? A sweep? You kidding me? How much money would you have made if you bet on the Giants sweeping at the beginning?

Weekly Sanchez Report
Jets
Passing | CP/AT | YDS | TD | INT |
---|---|---|---|---|
Sanchez | 28/54 | 283 | 1 | 1 |
I don't really like this one is all Mark's fault. When you're asked to throw it 54 times, unless you're actually... Good, you'll probably have a bad game.

CFB week in review #9: Fuck Notre Dame forever
Thursday, October 25, 2012
CFB Weekend Preview #9
#2 Florida vs. #10 Georgia
Florida is currently favored by 6 1/2 which honestly seems a bit high to me. Georgia has a vibe around it which doesn't seem to fit the fact they only have one ugly loss to South Carolina. Earlier, Shawn Willams, a safety for Georgia called out the rest of the defense claiming they were "soft," so that tells you they don't feel like they've lived up to expectations. Clearly this is always a special game for both teams but I feel like Georgia is entering this game with special incentive to play well. If they win, the SEC East will get a lot more interesting and with their remaining schedule they could easily go 11-1 and be right back where they wanted to be at the beginning of the year.
That being said I think Florida will win. Florida is ranked 25th in rushing offense, not exactly impressive but Georgia is ranked 72nd in rushing defense. And what has Florida done all season long? Pounded the ball on the ground. With everything considered this will still be an ugly, tight game with Florida coming out on top... So I guess in the end I'd take Florida to cover but just barely.

The coach at Wyoming is mad
Move over Mike Gundy, there's a new standard by which post game tirades will be measured. Unfortunately the video has been taken off Youtube and this is the only place I could still find it.

World Series Preview
I guess I should preface this by saying I don't follow a baseball team, don't pay attention to the regular season at all, and really had no clue what baseball was until I just looked it up on Wikipedia. My previous knowledge of baseball mostly consisted of thinking that getting to third base meant scoring with a chick... I guess it still does but...

Charlie Weiss: An in depth look at football's larger than life coaches
Our first look at one of football's larger than life coaches begins with Charlie Weiss. Perhaps best known for leading Notre Dame to a couple BCS bowls before leaving for the Kansas City Chiefs for a year, then offensive coordinator at Florida for a year, and now, finally at Kansas; Weiss has always been regarded as an offensive guru, even making Matt Cassel look good for a year.

Weekly Sanchez report: Sanchez gonna Sanchez
Way to fumble the ball, fuckhead. |
This is what I get for getting emotionally invested in anything other than college football.

Week 8 in review: Yeah, that happened
What a weekend!
From the gospel according to Guiton
After these things the Boilermakers tested the Buckeyes and said to them “Buckeyes!” And they said, “Here we are.” They said, “Take your son, your only Braxton Miller, whom you love, and go to the Ohio Medical Center, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the gurneys of which I shall tell you.” So the Buckeyes rose early in the morning, arrived at Ohio Stadium, and took two of their young receivers, and their son Kenny Guiton. And he made the two point conversion and the touchdown in OT and went to the place of which God had told him...
There but by the grace of God go the Purdue Boilermakers.

CFB Weekend Preview #8
#7 South Carolina at #2 Florida
The spread in this one seems a little off to me. Florida only being favored 3 1/2 at home seems a bit small. Perhaps someone thinks that with SC coming off a close defeat at LSU; that they will be extra fired up or something. However, I took Florida for the upset when LSU came to the swamp and I *ahem* now believe LSU is a better team than SC so I'm taking Florida and the points.
Look for Florida to keep pounding away at SC with the running game making up for the year when Meyer was still at Florida and every Gator fan was at home screaming at the TV for him to run Gilleslee. I expect a low scoring affair.

Meyer holds meeting with OSU D... With sexy results?
When people think about Ohio State they usually think first about tattoos, then getting owned by the SEC, then sweater vests, and then a stout defense... In no particular order. This year however OSU has been getting torched on D to the tune of 38 to Nebraska and then 49 to Indiana... INDIANA?!?
Weekly Sanchez report
This week the Jets walloped the Colts with Sanchez making over 50% completions and throwing for 2 TDs. Even if they were mostly helped out by their running game the computer determined Mark's sensitive feelings to be in tact this week.

Week 7 in Review: Welp
Um, so yeah how about that Texas game?

CFB Weekend Preview #7
#15 Texas vs. #13 Oklahoma
The annual Red River Shootout take place this weekend with Oklahoma currently favored by 3 1/2 points. Frankly, I'm just not buying Oklahoma at all. Landry Jones, the OK QB has unperformed consistently this season, while David Ash for Texas has impressed. Unless Oklahoma can get their running game going I don't give them any chance. I expect a rather low scoring affair, think > 60. And If I was a betting man I would take Texas outright for the upset.

The sensitive feelings of Mark Sanchez
Lately the New York Jets have been not so much been in the business of winning football games but more in the business of protecting Mark Sanchez's sensitive feelings.

Week 6 in Review: A Big 10 team scores over 60. ACC is shit
Let's get this out of the way, ignoring my stupid score predictions I made all the picks... OK I feel better now.

CFB Weekend Preview #6
#4 LSU at #10 Florida
I get the feeling that everyone's most anticipated game this week will be something more akin to "Big 10" style football: low scores and strong defensive performances. These are two teams who seem to be heading in opposite directions as the season progresses. To that extent, I think playing in The Swamp against a fired up Gators team lead by a surprisingly effective Jeff Driskel all points to a Gators "upset." (Though it hardly seems like an upset at this point as most people have the Gators winning)
LSU - 17, Florida - 24

Do players ever want their teams to lose?
edit: thanks a lot Arizona you just fucked up my first article
As we enter the second quarter of NFL football there are three teams (as of this writing, Arizona/St. Louis is kicking off right now) that remain unbeaten. Houston, Arizona, and Atlanta. While most people agree that Houston is the best team in the NFL, I've never seen more people doubt an unbeaten team as they do Arizona, mostly because of their unresolved quarterback situation.

Yet Another Sports Blog
This will just be a simple blog for me to write down my uneducated thoughts about sports, mostly. Yes, it will mostly be regurgitated talking points from "professionals", but I can offer one thing they can't on ESPN... Very poorly made MS Paint photoshops...
(Would those even be called photoshops? Paints? I'll look into it.)
