YANKS:
The New York Yankees have officially made their $1.6 billion stadium a Little League baseball diamond. Over the weekend, the Yankees gave up 40 runs to the Cleveland Indians. First the massively over priced ticket, then 1,100 obstructed seats, now it’s a place where teams tee it up and whack away. The stadium has seen 14 long balls go to right center field. Is it me or can we finally say that the New York Yankees franchise is not well-run. Just like the Redskins, the Yankees are so disorganized. There is a reason why the Patriots do so well in the draft, season, and post season. Wes Welker was out on the market for everyone and guess who got him… the Pats.
I mean for $1.6 billion, it seems like grocery stores are built better. I understand historically the Yankees have been bad in the first month, but seriously. Four games and you give up 20 homeruns, 14 to right field. Cleveland got two of their four wins on the season to New York. Once again, the Yankees are a disaster and may fail to make the post season.
CLEVELAND:
What are you thinking Cleveland Browns? Seriously. It has been rumored for a week and a half now that the Browns want to discard Braylon Edwards. What are you going to do Cleveland? You going to go draft Michael Crabtree who is coming out of a soft, bubble screen offense in the Big 12 over someone who had a fabulous season two years ago? Edwards is in a contract year… KEEP him … he will perform. The guy had a 150 plus receiving yard game against the New York Giants last year. He averaged 30 yards a catch… come on.
Drafting Michael Crabtree, who is coming off surgery, will be an absolute terrible mistake by Cleveland if they trade away Edwards (a Pro-Bowl receiver) and draft Crabtree. No offense to Crabtree. He has a lot of potential and will likely be a fantastic receiver, but the NFL draft is all about taking chances… this is not a wise chance Cleveland. You may have Lebron James, but football is everything in Cleveland… draft wisely.
Notre Dame Football:
I'm here to say that Charlie Weis's Irish football team is going to win 10 football games this year. Stats don't lie people. Top 10 teams last year like Missouri and Clemson underachieved because the offensive lineman position is under rated. Mizzu and Clemson, who had high BCS expectations, struggled because their offensive line had less than 40 starts in their career. The surprise team, Utah, had over 100 starts on the O-line.
Notre Dame is returning 80 starts to the offensive line this year. They have a returning quarterback who has got the system down. Lets face it, Notre Dame will win 10 games this season. The offensive line is such an under rated position just like a kitchen is to a house. For every dollar you spend on the kitchen, you get three dollars back. You walk into a house and see that nice bar and lounging area in your kitchen, you are in heaven. The kitchen is the mood of the house. Yards are over rated, plumbing is over rated, and most of all bedrooms are over hyped. Get the emotion out of it. Charlie Weis is going to win a ton of games this year. He is a polarizing figure who everyone likes to "dog," yet he has had winning seasons virtually every single year. I'm not saying that the Irish are a great team but with a weak schedule, returning quarterback, and most of all, an experienced offensive line, Notre Dame is a 10 win team... sorry Weis "hatas."
New Port Richey Florida:
The location of Mitchell High School where Jordan Schuster has pitched four consecutive no hitters. Schuster has thrown 60 strikeouts combined in the four "no nos," including 17 last night where he recorded his fourth "no no." Is it me or is this nearly impossible. The kid is heading to Florida but I say someone sign him NOW. The record for consecutive no hitters in hgih school baseball history is six, set by Tom Eangle. Congratulations "kiddo." You are officially on the "That's Nasty" highlights on ESPN without throwing a curveball.
