Hall of Shame - Week 16

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 - Clinton Portis

I was not a big fan of Portis this week against the Cowboys because he really irritated me two weeks ago when he failed to score a touchdown against the 49ers after having three different trips inside the red zone.

This week in the championship game for many, Portis accumulated 32 yards before he bruised his chest and left the game.  Way to suck it up and continue to play in one of the biggest rivalries in sports! Shame on you Portis for not finishing the game. If it ain’t broke keep playing is what I expect from my fantasy players!

Clinton finished the season with decent yards but his inability to score touchdowns really hurt his fantasy value. Portis has seven touchdowns on the season, but he could have had around 14 if he wasn't always stopped on the goal line week in and week out.

 

 

 


Smokin' Joe - Jimmy Smith

Jimmy killed me yesterday.  Two catches for 17 yards in my Super bowl.  Ouch.  If he does anything at all I win another super bowl.

I recognize the fact that Fred Taylor missed this game with an injury and his quarterback Byron Leftwich got dinged up during the game which contributed greatly to this sub-par performance.  It was still painful for me to watch.  The running back formally known as "Fragile" Fred cost me a super bowl a couple of year ago.  I think he just cost me another one.  Into the Hall you go boys.

 

 


Smokin' Joe - Byron Leftwich

I really only have to say one thing about this nomination, 6-of-14 for 35 yards and an interception. That box score from any starting quarterback will get them an invitation to this hall but from Leftwich it was surprising.

Leftwich has never been a great fantasy quarterback, only four games with more than one touchdown pass, but 200 yards and a touchdown is what was expected from Leftwich this week. I know Fred Taylor was out but the Jaguars were playing for a playoff spot, at home, against a team that was out of it and this is the best that Leftwich can do? This type of performance leads me to believe that Leftwich will never be a super bowl caliber quarterback.

I guess in the big picture the Jaguars realize how important Fred Taylor is to their team but when key player gets hurt, your leader needs to step up and that is the thing that Leftwich didn't do.
