Kansas is ripping the head off the BCS

After using the Nebraska Blackshirts as toilet paper and racking up 76 points on the Huskers, Kansas found themselves at No. 4 in the latest BCS Standings. We know, we can’t believe it either. The Jayhawks are sitting at fifth in both the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today Poll after going undefeated through nine games. This is the highest Kansas has been ranked since they spent three weeks at No. 3 in the AP poll back in 1968!

As expected, the Kansas faithful are handling their new found prestige with the utmost humility and modesty.

Jim Jackson is the worst player in the NBA



How do I put this, Jim…
you stink

For everyone who loves to argue over the relative value of players, here are the 2006-2007 Hollinger Projections. Created by John Hollinger, these rankings are based on a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) which is a measure of how valuable a player is based on per minute productivity. Granted the ratings are still the work of one guy but at least it’s based on formulas, which makes it just a little more legit than, say, team power rankings.

In any case, here are your top 10 players in the NBA.

  1. LeBron James
  2. Kobe Bryant
  3. Dirk Nowitzki
  4. Amare Stoudemire
  5. Dwyane Wade (lost points on the ridiculous spelling of his name)
  6. Kevin Garnett
  7. Chris Paul
  8. Pau Gasol
  9. Gilbert Arenas
  10. Allen Iverson

Sadly, if you scroll all the way to #330, the worst player in the NBA is Jim Jackson of the Lakers. Above him are (#329) Ryan Bowen, (#328) Rafael Araujo, (#327) Darrell Armstrong and (#326) Mark Madsen. If you’re ranked behind Mark Madsen, it’s seriously time to consider retiring. Jim Jackson is so bad that there isn’t even a comment next to his name.

Can we set up a dance off between Jackson and Ethan Albright?
