Hall of Shame - Week 8

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 - Jake Delhomme

Delhomme entered the season as a great value selection with top five potential (He was 8th in 2005).  Unfortunately his owners have been disappointed as he has underperformed to date, and is only ranked 14th in fantasy scoring.

In week 8 he faced the Cowboys and their 16th ranked passing defense.  Dallas allows over 200 yards passing and a touchdown on average, so this was a pretty good match-up for Delhomme.

Once again, Jake crushed the owners who started him, completing just 17 passes for a pathetic 149 yards.  He also failed to record a touchdown pass, which in our scoring system amounted to about 7.5 fantasy points.

That embarrassing performance earns him a trip to The Hall.

 


StingRay - Matt Leinart

How on earth did Matt Leinart average close to 240 yards passing and 2 touchdowns against the (then) #2 ranked passing defense of the Kansas City Chiefs and against the Chicago Bears? 

We told you to bench him early on but in the last two weeks the Cardinals have had favorable match-ups against the Raiders and the Packers and Leinart looks horrific.

I don’t know if teams studied the game film or if it is Dennis Green’s fault for firing the offensive coordinator.  Either way Matt Leinart is not getting it done. Two weeks ago he completed 13 out of 32 passes for 203 yards, 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.  Sunday against the Raiders Leinart went 14 for 35, for 157 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception.  That's shameful.

 


Smokin' Joe - David Carr

Carr is not an every week starter but he has been getting a lot of action on bye weeks and as a one week injury replacement.  He has been mildly successful in that role but he absolutely killed owners who started him yesterday. He only managed 113 yards with 1 interception and two fumbles before being replaced by Sage Rosenfels.

Sage by the way threw for 186 yards and 3 touchdowns.  Nice job David.  Enjoy the walk of shame back to the bench or more likely off to the waiver wire.

 


The Sandman - Ben Roethlisberger

I am still trying to figure out how the Steelers lost this week.  When I take a look at the box score I see an offense that had almost 400 total yards and a defense that allowed less than 100 yards.  Then I took a look at quarterback numbers and all of my questions were answered.

Roethlisberger, the quarterback of the defending Super Bowl champions, threw four interceptions. That was bad enough but two of them got returned for touchdowns.  The Raiders do have the leagues best passing defense but Big Ben single-handedly cost the Steelers a victory.
