Relegation and a genius blog who's laid it all out
I have to plug http://twentyfoursports.blogspot.com/. What's being written there is so far off from the likes of SI, Grantland, etc it boggles the mind. It's incredible. To even come up with elaborate scenarios about relegation and applying it to sports in the USA, is something I've argued for but could never conjure up all the nuances like this guy has. Relegation in the MLB, let's make it happen!

I'm back
With vengeance.
I'll be actually reading my Google Reader RSS feeds, making new posts, and all that good stuff.
Have a great weekend!

Somebody's Been Doing the Herbal?
Did Herbal Essences really change their ad campaign from the orgasming woman [deemed too risqué] to the motto..."Somebody's been doing the herbal?"
Wow.
Wow.

They say you can make as many mistakes as you want, so long as you only make them once.
From ESPN:

I despise the Jets. As an organization, recently they've run themselves like Animal House. Pick up players with checkered pasts (despite their football potentials) and see if they can piece them together. They just lost 45-3 to the Patriots this past week after beating them in Week 2.
That being said, they're 9-3 and up there in the AFC as we speak. I do like Rex Ryan because he does what a coach does best, motivate. Whether that is to take the pressure off his players and be a huge goof-ball and have the media poke and prod him instead of his players, or whatever, he's quite the entertainer.
Same can be said for Chad Ochocinco. He would be up to his antics so the pressure was deflected off his team and onto him. Sadly, T.O joined forces with him and is drastically outplaying him with none of his typical antics. The Bengals are an awful 2-8 this season.
#85 Ochocinco 59 rec, 724 yds, 4 TDs, 12.3 avg, 42 long VS
#81 Owens 71 rec, 961 yds, 9 TDs, 13.5 avg, 78 long
Also another good story: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5900267
Why is using Riddell so important? There needs to be more pressure on Riddell to make safer helmets, or otherwise the NFL should just let players pick their own helmets that at least provide the minimum risk allowed. For car insurance California has state minimums, but people can buy the pricier premiums for more coverage. Same should be done for the NFL who does not want to assume health responsibility for its players, to be really honest. So mandate a minimum for helmets, and if players want to use the more padded ones, perfect they'll be good role models. If not, then they're liable under their own assumed risks.
