Choke Artists with a Side of Exposo

Written by Dr Furious on September 23, 2005

How about those Chicago White Sox? Manager Ozzie Guillen is talking about retiring if his team wins the World Series. I think he should be more concerned with making the playoffs. The Chi Sox once held a 15 game lead over their division rival Cleveland Indians. That lead is now only one and a half.

“Playoffs … You’re talking to me about Playoffs!?”

That is just proof positive that it is always a good time to drop the Jim Mora quote. If the Chi Sox do not make the playoffs, that would be one of the most monumental collapses in MLB history.

Football Exposo

The rotogods have given you plenty of football knowledge over the past few days, but there is no reason to stop now. Besides, the end of the month always means that it is about time for a fresh exposo list. Furious has the itch, so it is time to scratch that biatch.

Andre Johnson/David Carr Super Combo

I know this has been mentioned in every article this week, but boy do these two guys suck. David Carr has thrown three times as many interceptions as he has touchdowns. Carr could not even do us fantasy owners who drafted Johnson a favor and at least thrown the touchdown pass to him. Furious will not belabor the point, but there is some major fecal matter being produced by these two Texans.

Drew Brees

I have been waiting all off-season for this one. How many times has a player sucked after posting all world stats in a contract year? Always be wary of the contract year stats. Brees has twice as many giveaways (3 int, 1 fl) as touchdowns (2). His quarterback rating is 30 point lower than last season. Furious believes that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Brees is a fraud and Phillip Rivers better be ready when he finally gets a shot at running the offense.

Viking Defense

Coming into the season, I thought that the Viking defense was much improved. Boy was I wrong. The only defense that has given up more points than the Vikings is San Francisco, but at least San Fran’s defense was supposed to stink. The 49’s are at least a .500 team right now, while the Vikings are not. The defense must be pretty bad when the Bucs are scoring 24 points against you. Oh yes … the Viking’s defense has been exposed.

Well folks that will do it this morning. I will keep things nice and brief this morning, in an attempt to get back to traditional offering standards. It is Friday, and Furious will be patronizing a local watering hole at some point this evening. You would be wise to do the same.
