Hall
of Shame - Week 1
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.
Another staff
favorite, our Hall of Shame picks highlight our individual selections for the
worst sports-related performers of the week.

StingRay - Jamal
Lewis
Jamal Lewis rushed for 500 yards in two
games last season against Cleveland so fantasy owners were salivating at
the thought of starting Jamal Lewis week 1 against the Browns.
After all that Lewis carried the ball 20 times for only 57 yards!
That's a pathetic average of 2.9 yards per carry.
I know that stud tackle Jonathan Ogden
was out but that's still a terrible performance from a back who posted
2000 yards last season. Jamal could be on borrowed time due to his court
case in November so games that you expect him to produce like this one
have to upset you as a fantasy owner.

CrunchTime - Deuce
McAllister
While some may say I’m being a bit
harsh on this call, I think it’s warranted. While some people think the
Seahawks’ defense is improved, I remind them they’ve been saying that
for years to no effect.
The fact of the matter is Deuce is
supposed to be one of the top fantasy players in the league and all he
could manage was just over 3.5 yards a carry against a, at best, decent
defense. Not only that, he throws in the fumble for good measure.
A “stud” running back who can’t put up
10 fantasy points disgusts me and I apologize to those of you who, like
me, were unfortunate enough to have him in your line-up.

Smokin' Joe - Fred
Taylor
Taylor posted 17 carries for 61 yards
rushing and no yards receiving in week one against the Bills. That's
only 3.5 yards per carry. Not exactly a number one running back's
statistics.
Jacksonville won the game but that is
of little consolation to Taylor's owners. Welcome to the Hall Fred!

The Dawg - Tom
Coughlin
Old military style tactics, and a lack
of decisiveness in the game. Throwing Manning out in front of the
Philadelphia defense that had been unloading on Warner all day was just
ridiculous. You almost cost your team their future my friend. I thought
for sure that Manning wasn't going to get up from that hit.
How many Giant fans were holding their
breath when he took that hit? Time to look in the mirror coach, but
until then welcome to the hall. Grrr!

The Sandman - Steve
McNair
Someone needs to tell me how the Co-MVP
from last year doesn’t throw for 100 yards against a Miami defense that
is average at best? I know, he must have been in a hurry to get out of
Florida. After all, hurricane Ivan is coming to town on
Wednesday... maybe.
McNair killed many teams this weekend
with only 73 yards passing. More disconcerting was the fact that the
Titans only threw the ball 14 times. You would think that after Chris
Brown went down with a hamstring injury the Titans would be more
aggressive with the passing the game but that wasn’t the case.
Just one word of encouragement to the
McNair owners, relax. It’s only week one and things can only go up from
here, but for this week I say welcome to the Hall Steve.
