Spurs and Substantial Sanctions

I personally think that Greg Popovich is entitled to coach his team however he sees fit, including resting his antique superstars on six game road trips that are followed by a showdown with Memphis. Additionally, I think David Stern is stacking on further proof that he, along with most owners, view the players as nothing more than a commodity (See NBA Lockout, 2011). I understand that fans in Miami were deprived the chance to watch Tim Duncan lull them to sleep on his way to another 20/10 night, but honestly, the Spurs are a franchise trying to win titles. The last two years they burned out short of the prize, and it looks like Popovich is trying to provide additional rest for Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili so that they'll stay healthy and ready for one more playoff run.

The Bad Quarterback League: First Trimester

When we last left our godawful gunslingers, all seemed right in the world. Donovan McNabb was a struggling to keep his QB Rating in the positives while Ben Roethlieberger was routinely connecting with safety Ed Reed for big plays downfield. Mark Sanchez even managed to not embarrass himself. 

Funny how things can change.

Over the last few weeks we've witnessed Tom Brady collapse under the pressure of mighty Buffalo, we've seen Cam Newton set a pace to break every rookie passing record in the history of the NFL, and hell, we've even watched Tavaris Jackson blossom into just a pretty bad quarterback. A gimpy Ben Roethlisberger also just threw for 5 touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans on a weekend where Kevin Kolb pissed his pants. It's been an interesting first trimester to say the least.

Yes, as one would expect, an interesting first trimester has produced some interesting results. With Week 6 looming on the horizon, let's take a quick peek at the Power Rankings:

Power Rankings:

1. Hennes of the Mouth (Carpenter) 4-1

2. Sex on a Stick (Morgan) 3-2

3. Big Ben and the Grossmen (Hall) 3-2

4. Matt's Besieged Cassel (Stephens) 2-3

5. White Boi Pains (Frisbee) 2-3

6. Colex Kaepersmith and the Free Tattoos (McCool) 2-3
7. The Ginger Snaps (Cassilly) 2-3
8. Cam Newton Just Stole My Cell Phone (Lever) 1-4

Tie Breaker: Total Points

1. Morgan: 242

2. Stephens: 202

3. Frisbee: 197
4. Carpenter: 193

5. Hall: 172

6. McCool: 155

7. Lever: 144

8. Cassilly: 51

Moving into the Week 6 Showdowns, we'll see the following superpowers face off:

Hennes of the Mouth vs. Big Ben and the Grossmen
