YCS Rant on Booing Part 6,743
>> Sunday
I know, I know, we do a lot of complaining about fans booing their home team and players here. Most of it is probably validated, even if we have nailed that home ad nauseam. However, after hearing this ridiculousness during the Seahawks-Saints radio broadcast, I had to chime in. After getting stuffed on a play, some incredibly audacious Seahawks fans actually booed Shaun Alexander. Can you get any more damn ungrateful? The Seahawks without Alexander would have accomplished the same as my (never ending) quest for gainful employment: nothing. However, it's awesome to know that a bunch of drunk idiots think they can do better than a future Hall of Fame running back.

I didn't catch that, but that's insane. And I know it was a bad game last night, but it's not like they're 1-5 or something. What are the fans so pissed about?
I decided to pass on actually watching the game (no need to watch two shitty NFC teams going nowhere), but if I had to guess, it's probably that they feel Alexander wasn't "giving it his all". I'm sure that the shitty Seattle O-Line had nothing to do with this, and that Alexander was indeed not "giving it his all". Still, Seattle fans would have gotten my vote for the ridiculous Worst People in the NFL award shtick that Olbermann does.
Alexander has been tenative all year, due to several minor injuries. He was never a pound it down your fruit pie hole tackle breaking runner, prefering to run around people, but this year he's been unable to get anything going outside the tackles and he seems even less willing to run between the tackles. With Hasselbeck being unable to hit his improved reciving core, someone needs to do something on offence. I don't aggree with booing your best player, if he continues playing like this he'll never make it to the hall, Alexander needs to stop tip toeing around the line of scrimmage and pound it up the middle, like their new full who replaced a real hall of famer Mack Strong.
