Jobu weighs in on Ndamukong Suh’s dispicable stomping incident, his punishment from the league and the tackle’s state of mind.

Hello Readers,

Sorry this is a little late in the day, but I’ve been traveling to the GF’s parents’ house for a little Thanksgiving feast. I’m assuming all of you are doing the same, so you won’t miss us too much. Between Thanksgiving Thursday, black Friday and a friend’s b-day on Saturday (Happy birthday, Dr. Draft), There might not be another post until Monday. I wanted to wish all of our readers a Happy Thanksgiving and say that I hope you are all well and have somewhere nice to spend the holiday (and maybe watch one of the football games) this year.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody, have some Rum for us!

Meet The New Last Place Team in the AL West

Astros

Jobu Gives his take on the sale and moving of the Houston Astros… What’s the final verdict?

The Houston Astros. Basebal’s lovable losers. They haven’t finished over .500 since 2008, and they haven’t made the playoffs since making it all the way to the World Series as the National League Wild Card winner in 2005 (they lost). After trading away all of their veteran talent last season, this team seems ready to fully accept being in rebuilding mode. So what did ownership decide to do after gutting the team? They sold the franchise to new owners who agreed to move the Astros to the American League West. It is with joy and sympathy that I welcome the Houston Astros to the American league. I look forward to the Yankees winning six to ten more games in 2013.
