Hall
of Shame - Week 5
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 - Travis
Henry
I have a few friends that are
struggling with their fantasy teams and they all have one thing in
common. They all drafted Travis Henry. Henry is 22nd in the NFL in
rushing yards and he has yet to have a 100-yard game or score a
touchdown.
In week 5 Henry was worse then usual.
In a favorable match up against the Jets he had 12 attempts for only 33
yards! What makes matters worse is that Willis McGahee had 8
carries for 42 yards after not getting a carry in week 4 and only 2 in
week 2.
Henry's poor performance, the Bills 0-4
record, and McGahee starting to show signs of why he was taken in the
first round of the 2004 draft are not good things for anybody who
drafted Travis. Shame on you Henry for averaging 3.4 yards per carry
this season and being a complete bust in the fantasy world.

Smokin' Joe - Rod
Gardner
Rod Gardner is the worst kind of
fantasy football player, highly explosive but extremely inconsistent.
Rod posted one catch for nine yards in week five and only three for 19
in week four. The problem is that in week three Gardner had 10 catches
for 167 yards and two touchdowns. He can light it up with the best
of them. I just don't know when that will be. One thing I do
know for sure is that one catch for nine yards earns you a spot in the
Hall of Shame.

CrunchTime -
Michael Vick
At some point in time we have to
evaluate Vick for the way he’s playing today. Sure he looks flashy
and lightning fast, and yes he really made those Vikings DB’s look
really bad way back when. But his numbers are consistently among the
worst of starting QB’s in the league. His 77.7 quarterback rating is
25th in the league yet he’s got more commercials out than the 24
combined players above him. He’s the Kournikova of football – all flash
no delivery. And he isn’t nearly as fun to look at. 18 for 29 for 196
yards and a pick is lame. I can ignore it when they are winning but when
they’re losing (and to the Lions) he needs to get called out.
