I should start this as a feature on the main site.
Tim Writes:
Hey moron, you do lose all credibility when you make statements like the following garbage...
"By the way, I received an e-mail from a reader named Tyson who had the following to say: "Why is it that you refer to Shaun Alexander as a 'fat slob?' Usually guys who get the Most Valuable Player award aren't fat slobs. You are losing credibility as soon as you make a comment like that. I like the mock draft I just think its funny that you take a quality guy like Shaun Alexander and make comments like that about him."
My response: "Shaun Alexander won't be starting much longer in the NFL. In fact, I doubt he starts for a good team next year. Alexander used to be great. But ever since he got hurt last year, he looks like he's afraid of getting hit. He's slow to hit the hole and goes down way too easily. Unless he really works hard this offseason, he's done."
Tyson agreed with my response. I just decided to post this for anyone else who doesn't like the fact that I think the 2005 MVP secretly stashes puffy Cheetos inside his helmet."
You obviously do not watch a lot of football because if you did you would see that Alexander's numbers declined due to injury and also, and this is the big factor, because the Seahawks failed to re-sign Steve Hutchinson and because Robbie Tobeck retired. You are one of those morons that buys into the nonsense about running backs not being able to produce past the age of 30, which makes you a copy cat. Do you think it's any surprise that the Vikings have had one of the best rushing attacks over the past two seasons? Seems to me that Steve Hutchinson has played in Minnesota for the past two seasons, so it's not coincidence that their rushing game improved immensly while Seattle's went down hill in a hurry.
Alexander's biggest issue besides injury is the fact that his offensive line has lost two key players who were replaced by Chris Spencer a young, inexperienced Center and Rob Simms who is just plain horrible and couldn't run-block to save his life. I don't care if the Seahawks had Barry Sanders in his prime running behind that offensive line, the results wouldn't be much different.
So, before you chalk up Alexander's decline to old age, look at all of the factors and make an educated statement instead of spewing something that some drunk ass moron would say in the stands on Sunday.
I respond:
Tim,
Thanks for checking out my site!
Sorry you disagree with my statements on Shaun Alexander. I agree that Seattle's offensive line took a major setback in the wake of losing Steve Hutchinson - I mention this in the later rounds - but the fact remains that Shaun Alexander is done.
Alexander may be released soon, so apparently I'm not alone in the belief that the former MVP is finished.
Both ProFootballTalk.com and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer are reporting that Alexander could be cut soon. The latter believes this will happen after June 1 if the Seahawks can get a legitimate replacement in Round 1. Here's the link: http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/f...ves/132432.asp
I'm also not sure why you said "you would see that Alexander's numbers declined due to injury" when part of the text you copy-pasted into your e-mail said, "Alexander used to be great. But ever since he got hurt last year, he looks like he's afraid of getting hit."Once again, I'm disappointed you and I differ on this, but hopefully this e-mail cleared up some of your concerns.
Thanks again for the site feedback!
