Stupid Sports http://www.stupidsports.org Everything stupid, everything sports, and everything in-between Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:11:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 StupidSportshttp://feedburner.google.com Rockies 2010 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StupidSports/~3/lQP0AOrRgwA/ http://www.stupidsports.org/2010/08/rockies-2010/#comments Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:11:24 +0000 Tim http://www.stupidsports.org/?p=413 It is simply amazing.

The Rockies are only 4 games out of the Wild Card despite every starter but Jimenez hitting the DL this year, Tulo out for a month, Stewart not hitting for average, Helton on the way out, Iannetta clearly a AAA player, Hawpe so far off the map he’s playing AAA for the Rays – and they have Manuel Corpas on the roster – on purpose! All of those things, all of those close games that they blew, the terrible post-All Star slide and they are still in contention, although a long shot. Honestly, imagine if this team could actually put it together.

Dallas, Green Bay, New Orleans, San Francisco
New England, Baltimore, Indianapolis, San Diego

WC: NYGiants, Atlanta, NYJets, Houston

NFC: Green Bay over New Orleans
AFC: Indy over Baltimore

Super Bowl: Packers over Colts

Worst Records : Rams, Bucs, Browns, Bills, Raiders.

And, no, Denver is not as good as a .500 team. Denver will have a near all-time NFL worst defense. The over/under on QB sacks for Denver? I’d guess 15. Average yards yielded per game? 405. I doubt they will even keep a team in single digit scoring all season.

Normally I don’t care about the NBA, but here’s some words to consider.

If he wants to win the NBA title, he’s not far in Cleveland. Just add the two pieces and don’t add to your own contract.

If he wants the most money, go wherever that is and be done and don’t pretend you care about winning.

There’s no reason to go to Chicago (which isn’t closer to a title than the Cavs) unless his goal is to be the best ever and he thinks he can take Jordan down by winning titles with Jordan’s team.

The Nets? Nyets? I don’t care if the owner gives him his body weight in rubles, potato skins and 23% of the franchise. Don’t be a star in New Jersey if you can help it.

The reason to stay in Cleveland? It makes you look like a good guy and if you win, you bring the first title to the city in forever. The last guy to win a title in Cleveland was, I think, Otto Graham. When was that? Here’s a hint – the name Otto was popular.

You can never really feel bad about making it out of the group stage -no matter what comes next.

The Denver Broncos’ vertical striped socks were better than this.  Honestly, I have played for co-ed softball teams with a nicer look.

If you love Jersey Shore but hate drunks, cursing, orange women and kids who can’t dress themselves= you’ll LOVE Utah Shore.   Coming soon to Animal Planet.

Struck out 14, stuck out the side on 11 pitches, got the win – this is exactly what happened to me.

I’m trying to decide – do you think they respect Henry for fathering 9 children with 9 different women
-or-
do they respect him for being arrested for financing a cocaine trafficking ring?

Tough choice.
