Hall
of Shame - Week 9
Everybody Knows Your Name
I
don't care who you are; Player, Coach, Broadcaster, Writer, you name it.
You sucked, and we're going to tell you why.

The
Sandman - Aaron Brooks
It
is not in my nature to nominate someone for the hall after a win, but
this week I can’t help it. I agree with Keyshawn Johnson that
the Saints didn’t win the game as much as the Bucanneers lost it.
Lets face it, if the defense hadn’t returned an interception for a
touchdown, the Saints would have lost.
Brooks
finished the game 13-of-29 for 142 yards. That is correct, 13
completions for 142 yards. That is an average of 4.9 yards per attempt.
The quarterback on my high school football team had more completions and
yardage in the first half of his game on Friday night.
Brooks is one of those quarterbacks that will drive his owners to drink.
Some weeks he looks like a top-five quarterback and others, like this
week, he looks like Drew Brees. He has all the talent in the world
but at times he appears to be thinking about dinner rather than the
football game. Welcome to the Hall Aaron…

StingRay
- Steve Spurrier
It's
a damn shame what Spurrier is doing to his young quarterback Patrick
Ramsey. Ramsey has been sacked 26 times this season, which leaves
him trailing only Donovan McNabb for the dubious honor as the most
sacked quarterback. Spurrier started the season running the
football but he declared before last week's game against Dallas that he
was going to coach the way he feels comfortable coaching. That
means he wants to throw the football down the field as much as possible.
That's okay, but at least try to protect your quarterback so that he
doesn't take the shots he's been taking.
It
was sad to watch Ramsey takes the beating he took on Sunday. It kind of
reminded me of the beating Kurt Warner took against the Giants week 1
when Martz refused to run the football. Ramsey would leave the
game all battered and bruised then return to take some more punishment.
I know the Redskins' running backs are hurt but maybe once in a while
they could leave in two tight ends and try to give the quarterback some
semblance of pass protection.
This
system worked in college when Spurrier had superior athletes and two
quarterbacks to alternate between. Well, this is the NFL and shame on
you Steve for forcing Ramsey to take unnecessary beatings week after
week. I guess you don't care about his future since your time in
the NFL will probably be short lived.

Smokin'
Joe - My Neighbor
Last
Monday we experienced some wind gusts where I live and my neighbor's
tree broke off about 30 feet in the air. Unfortunately, the falling part
of the tree was about 70 feet tall and came flying into my yard. This
wouldn't have upset me except that it crushed my wife's mini-van and
shredded my convertible's soft top.
Okay,
okay, it's not my neighbor's fault but I also know it wasn't my fault.
So, can the readers tell me why was I the one cleaning up his tree all
week? It's not about the money, I have car insurance and I will be
getting new cars. I am putting my neighbor in the Hall for not
lifting a finger, a rake, a broom or any branches off of my car. Welcome
to the Hall Smokin' Joe's neighbor!
P.S. Does anyone need any firewood?

Unfortunately the Associated Press does not have
any pictures of Smokin' Joe's neighbor at this time.
