Inspired by Winston Justice's performance against the NY Giants last week, and the Lowsman at Log's Blog, I bring you another week of the Least Valuable Player Watch. The goal is to single out those players who's performance is so truly terrible it kills their team's chances - like Carpoolers terrible.
1. Winston Justice - left tackle Philadelphia Eagles. How does he retain the top spot on this list when his team didn't even play this week? Well, his performance last week was so bad it may never be duplicated ever in the NFL. In addition, there are reports coming out of Philadelphia that when he went to the grocery store on Sunday, an 80 year old lady got by him in the check out the line and sacked the cashier - so he's still number one.
2. Rex Grossman - quarterback, Chicago Bears. Brian Griese proved it WAS you. Since Grossman won't be playing much, which will cause him to fall off this list, here's something that drives me crazy - moronic announcers describing mediocre QBs as "managing the game." They are not managing the game, they are doing what they are PAID to do - not turn it over and win football games.
3. Chad Pennington - quarterback, New York Jets. Throwing as many TDs to Giants cornerback Aaron Ross as you did to your own team will land you on this list. Bonus points for racking up three total interceptions yesterday. The fact that the NY tabloids LOVE quarterback controversies should make Chad's week fun. On a related note, I heard Kellen Clemens jersey sales are through the roof. Chad better hope the Yankees keep winning, or he's all over the back pages of the Post and the Daily News.
4. Fernando Bryant/Stanley Wilson - starting cornerbacks, Detroit Lions. How bad is the lions secondary? Bad enough to give up nearly 265 passing yards a game. In their last two road games they've really cranked it up, giving up 45 points per game and 315 passing yards. In addition, they've combined for a grand total of 1 interception. Jon Kitna needs to talk to God and see if he can help these two out.
5. The entire Kansas City Chiefs offensive line. The chiefs ran for 10 yards yesterday - 10. At least they don't have a pro bowl caliber running back.........uh wait a minute. Dropped out: Brian Griese (big win for the bears); Ray Lewis (even though they played Trent Dilfer they only gave up 7 points); JP Losman (the Bills play tonight, give him time, he'll make it back); and the Chargers secondary. http://idiotsonsports.blogspot.com
