Hall

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.

Hindsight - NCAA /
BCS Championship Halftime Show
As usual, we were forced to witness a
disaster on Tuesday night during the college football championship
game's halftime show. It was a yet another study in the Good, the
Bad and the Ugly.
The Good - The condition of the
field before several hundred foolishly dressed simpletons stomped all
over it for 20 minutes. Good luck to any players trying to get a decent
footing after that.
The Bad - All of the incompetent engineers, stage hands and sound
crew that completely botched Kelly Clarkson's number. It looked
like she was lip synching to a song that wasn't playing until she was
forced to screech out the lyrics which honestly wasn't any better.
The Ugly - Ashley Simpson...and I mean that literally. A
true no-talent-ass-clown if I ever saw one. At least the whole Goth
thing with the hair and the makeup covered her face, but unfortunately
we could hear her voice just fine.
Honestly, who at the networks really thinks that football fans are
remotely interested in any of this? I am not a 15 year old girl,
so keep your boy bands and Ryan Seacrest protégés off the field. What do
I want to see? Shoot, maybe something football-related! Give me a
battle of the school bands, or a procession of the 100 best living
college football players, or a college cheerleading competition for
Pete's sake.
Get into the hall you twits, and next
time put some actual football fans into your focus groups.

StingRay - Andre
Johnson
Sunday the Houston Texans were facing a
Cleveland team that has a terrible defense and Texans star Andre Johnson
finished the game with only 2 receptions for 13 yards and no touchdowns.
Johnson started off the year with 4
touchdowns in the first five games of the season. In his remaining 11
games Johnson scored only two touchdowns. In both of those games
(against Tennessee and Jacksonville) he had less then 50 yards
receiving.
It’s not all his fault as David Carr
struggled but more was expected from the University of Miami receiver
who was supposed to be better then Michael Irvin.
Shame on you Andre for being a bust
after having a great start to the 2004 season.

Smokin' Joe - Josh
McCown
Josh was one of the few quarterbacks we
knew was going to play the whole game in week 17. I even recommended a
few Manning and Brees owners to pick him up. I hope they find it in
their heart to forgive me.
McCown threw for 116 yards, 0
touchdowns and 1 interception and posted zero points in one of my
leagues. (Editor's Note: A
nasty scoring system, believe me.)
Coincidently that equaled
Manning's and Brees's output on Sunday. What a great pickup.
Welcome to the Hall of Shame Josh. I hope you enjoy spending the
whole spring and summer there.

Reader Submission -
Mike Holmgren
Holmgren absolutely screwed Alexander
out of a share of the rushing title. He put the already injured
Hasselbeck at further risk with that QB sneak. He deprived the
city of Seattle and the Seattle Seahawks franchise of something of which
to be proud. Is there a connection between Holmgren and Curtis Martin?
Don't know, don't care.
That smug SOB is feeling good...a win
and the playoffs and a screwing for Alexander.
This is not sour grapes. I have both
Alexander and Hasselbeck on my FF team (yes, a 4th consecutive title for
me in my little league) so I did not lose any points with Alexander not
carrying the ball.
But, back on subject, it was just flat out mean and wrong on Holmgren's
part..
