Hall of Shame - Week 7

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 - Edgerrin James

Edgerrin James owners had to be salivating at the thought of him facing the Oakland Raiders defense.  However, Edge was frustrated as were his owners Sunday when he carried the ball only 13 times for 34 yards. That’s an average of 2.6 yards per carry.

It’s not all Edge’s fault. The Arizona Cardinals can’t run the football because their offensive line is the worst I’ve seen in recent years. If Edge is your back I wouldn’t expect much and I consider him a number 3 running back at this point.

 


Hindsight - Bill Parcels

Everyone is piling on Drew Bledsoe, but the real focus should be on Bill Parcels. Incompetent offensive line direction. Poor play calling, and as usual a lack of accountability and results.

Sure Bledsoe took a sack for a safety, but that was due to an untouched rusher who was (not surprisingly) unhandled by an inadequate blocking scheme.

So what does Bill do? Bench his quarterback. So what does his next QB do? Throw 3 picks in a single half. So is the problem the play at the quarterback position or does the problem exist at a higher level?

Remember, despite Parcel's vaunted reputation, he is a loser. Yes he had one Giants team that won it all, but his other trophy was won off of a missed field goal. Yes, he lost that game despite the final score.

Don't forget the super bowl in which he dismantled his coordinators' game plan, taking the Patriots lead against the Packers and turning it into a loss. He removed the successful double-team against Reggie White, and stopped punting away from Desmond Howard. The result, yet another loss. (Do you see the pattern?)

A more overrated yet ineffective coach I do not know. In week seven, once again, Parcels tinkered with his team, and once again, it was an unmitigated disaster.

Congratulations Bill, you sucked then, you suck now, and if you don't retire, you will suck in the future.

 


The Sandman - Art Shell

One of the worst things that can happen to a fantasy owner is for one of his players to put up no points. Normally it comes through good defense but when it happens the way it happened to LaMont Jordan owners then it really eats at your skin.

All week there were questions about Jordan playing this week but on Friday he practiced and all signs pointed toward him playing against the Cardinals.  On Sunday, he was not on the inactive list so there was no reason for any owner to bench him.

Well, guess how many yards Jordan had - zero. Why do you ask? He didn't play, even though he was suited up.  If a normal starter isn't going to play then make him inactive and give us all a break. For this type of "gamesmanship" we welcome coach Art Shell to the Hall of Shame.
