The Blue and White: Blue View
By David Baker
Most Disappointing NFL Team
Pittsburgh Steelers. Who even remembers that they won the Super Bowl? Their three wins and six losses haven’t done much to remind us – especially the loss to the Raiders, who are the worst team in recent memory. The disappointment is written all over Bill Cower’s chin.
Who should win the Heisman
Brady Quinn. Just ask any girl, he’s pretty. You may say that’s no way to pick the Heisman winner, but it’s the reason Matt Leinhart won one. Quinn has great numbers too – 2,796 yards, 29 touchdowns, with only four picks and a completion percentage of 64.4. All those numbers, with the exception of completion percentage, are better than Troy Smith’s.
Pre-season College basketball Final Four
I’m going to put on my Mrs. Cleo outfit really quick. OK. The picks are Florida, North Carolina, Syracuse and Gonzaga. I have to pick Gonzaga because they’ve screwed up my tournament bracket the last four years, so I would feel bad if they didn’t have the chance to screw up my preseason picks too.
Are the Jazz Title Contenders
Maybe playoff contenders, but not title contenders. They do have Andre Kirilenko and Carlos Boozer, but they can’t say healthy. With one BYU grad, Rafael Araujo, on their roster, the Jazz have one too many former Cougars to be taken seriously. If they couldn’t win one with Stockton and Malone, they surely won’t without them.
Favorite Redneck Sport
Tractor Pull. The whole point of a tractor pull is to blow up engines so you can get liquored up and put them back together. Also, few things scream redneck louder than driving a John Deere down the interstate. And with more missing teeth than any other sport – from all the flying parts – tractor pulls win hands down.
