Hall
of Shame - Week 10
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 - Matt
Hasselbeck
In a huge divisional game against the
St. Louis Rams Matt Hasselbeck completed 15 of 36 passes for 172 yards,
0 touchdowns and one interception.
Hassselbeck threw a terrible
interception in the red zone when he tried to force a pass to tight end
Jerramy Stevens who was clearly covered. The Seattle offense is not
playing well and a large part of it is due to Hasselbeck’s play. If you
watched any of this game you would see him audible then throw an out
pass while the receiver would run an in route. If they didn’t have Shawn
Alexander I don’t think this team could beat anyone the way they are
playing.
Shame on you Matt for not being able to
throw a touchdown against the St. Louis defense that was ranked 23rd in
pass defense.

CrunchTime - Will
Demps
For those of you that
have the Ravens’ defense, you may not even know the name but I’m sure
you know who I’m talking about. When it looked like things were going
to get worse for Baltimore owners Lamont Jordan threw a half-back pass
to what appeared to be a quadruple covered receiver. The result?
Ed Reed picked him off in the end zone and proceeded to start weaving
through the horrid tackling efforts of the Jets’ offense turned
defense. (By the way, the Jets’ offense should be ashamed of the
“tackling” that went on during that run back.)
About 75 yards into
his 104 yard return Reed was about to run past a pursuing Quincy Carter
when Demps (who had been running down field with good intentions)
finally noticed Carter and reached out to grab his arm. Did Demps slow
Carter down? Maybe a bit. Was Carter going to tackle Reed? I suppose
it’s possible but given the track record of the Jets on the play I’d
guess not. Demps may have performed one of most idiotic plays of all
time in reaching out and grabbing someone’s arm in the middle of an open
field, right next to a ref, while he was perfectly centered on all of
our screens. He should just be glad that they scored on the ensuing
drive anyway and managed to win. If not, he’d be in the dog house.
Instead he cost Ravens' defense owners 6 points that they needed and
lands in my Hall of Shame.

Smokin' Joe -
David Carr
I expected big things out of Carr this
week because he was facing the worst passing defense in the league. What
I got was something completely different. The Texans were down big and
Carr to should have been able to light it up. No matter what scoring
system your league uses, Carr hurt your chances to win with game totals
of 215 yards, no touchdowns and three picks.
I'm in one league where the quarterback
gets 1 point per 50 yards passing and -2 point for an interception.
This gave Carr a total of -2 points. Ouch! The lack of touchdowns is
starting to be a trend for Carr. He has not thrown a touchdown in
the last two weeks and has not thrown more than one touchdown in a game
since week five against the Vikings. Welcome to the Hall of Shame
David.

The Sandman -
Lee Suggs
For the first time this year, Lee Suggs
got a chance to be the man in the Cleveland backfield. William Green
decided to go toe-to-toe with Joey Porter during warm-ups and was thrown
out of the game before it even started.
Suggs, who had been the projected
starter at the beginning of year, got his chance to prove that he had
earned the job in the pre-season and did nothing, 18 carries for 38
yards. That is a whopping 2.1 yards per carry.
I know that Suggs was facing the league's best rushing defense,
Pittsburgh, but when given the chance you have to prove that you should
be the man. Instead I saw a slow runner who was scared to hit the
hole and even more scared of taking a hit.
This week I elect Lee Suggs to the Hall of Shame for not stepping up to
the plate when he had a chance to separate himself.
