Shaun Alexander, helping his team the only way he knows how, by sitting on the bench The NFL season is winding down and it's been a successful year for guys who suck - but the good news is that we are close to the finish line and week in, week out, guys are still turning in terrible performances. Or in the case of Donovan McNabb, uneven performances that spark more debate and rancor in Philadelphia than debates over abortion - but I digress.
Let's get to weekly LVP Watch.
1. Shaun Alexander - Running back, Seattle Seahawks. He sucks and if the Seahawks had a better back, they wouldn't do things like lose to a crappy Panthers team. Against the Carolina Panthers Shaun racked up 17 yards on 7 carries, which is pretty bad. It becomes awful when you consider the fact that he had 20 yards on one carry, and minus 4 yards on the other 6. Seattle, you have a problem. For the season Alexander has 612 yards on 183 carries, for an average of 3.3 yards per carry. He's also 30 years old, which is 100 in running back years.
2. Jeavon Kearse - Defensive End, Philadelphia Eagles. Once known as the Freak, the only freakish thing about Kearse this year is his ability to cash huge paychecks without producing on the field. For the season, Kearse has 3.5 sacks. Not bad for guy who signed a $66 million contact with the Eagles. He was a healthy scratch this week and the Eagles held the Cowboys to 6 points with him not setting foot on the field. Kearse has avoided the list all season, but that's only because I'm an idiot.
3. Kyle Boller - Quarterback, Baltimore Ravens - Boller did nothing to convince anyone he'll be a full time starter in the league last week, and while I'm not a Raven fan, I have to think the people who do like this thoroughly miserable groups of players were happy to see Troy Smith on the field after Boller suffered a concussion on Sunday. Don't worry Raven fans, your time with Kyle INT should be coming to an end soon.
4. Warren Sapp - Defensive Tackle, Oakland Raiders. Big mouth, small production. Sapp was a great player for a lot of years, but his time is up. He's totaled 2 sacks this year, and more importantly, the Raider defense, which was surprisingly good last year, has been awful this year, ranking next to last in rushing yards allowed. The only good news is that with the Raiders being terrible, no one has paid attention to Sapp or his antics - take notes Chad Johnson.
5. Jamaine Winborne - Defensive Back, Baltimore Ravens. Someone named Greg Camarillo caught a pass from Cleo Lemon (this was an actual NFL game, I swear) and ran away from you for a 64 yard score. Mr. Winborne, he ran by you like you were standing still. You can't let that happen with the Dolphins were on pace for the reverse perfect season. Welcome to the LVP Watch.
