Complete F-Tards Of The Week

Hello Loyal Readers!  I'm pleased to bring you what I am going to try and make a weekly article and that is my F-Tards of the Week!

You might be asking yourself, "hey what is an F-Tard?" 

I'm glad you asked.  Well an F-Tard is a person who goes out of their way to do the stupidest thing possible.  In this column we'll be examining players who have gone out of their way to cost their teams the game each week.

Since this is the first week of the season I thought I'd let you, the reader, choose.

Nominee number one is none other than Jason Campbell of the Washington Redskins.  Let me set the scene for you.  The Skins are down (of course) but driving.  Campbell feels the pressure and rolls to his right.

There is nothing but open space for him to run so he does, for five yards.  Then he decides, well Santana Moss is pretty tightly covered let me try and shoe horn this ball to him. 

Let us not forget that he's already crossed the line of scrimmage (for those football virgins out there , that is against the rules) and he fired a strike that was picked off by  Corey Webster.  The flag is thrown and the Giants rightly declined the penalty (if they hadn't they would have made this list).

I don't know why he didn't run, he had a pretty clear shot at the first down but I guess he doesn't want to be known as a scrambling quarterback (or a smart one). 

He's playing for a contract this year and this play along with him not stepping up in the pocket and allowing Osi Umenyiora to get a sack and fumble recovery on what was actually a good block by Chris Samuels allows him to not only make this list but also allows the fans in DC to complain for another week.

That brings us to nominee number two.  Leodis McKelvin of the Buffalo Bills.  He was having a pretty decent game up until just under two minutes to play. 

New England had just kicked a field to cut the Bill's lead to 4.  The ensuing kick-off sales into the end-zone.  Now Buffalo has the lead and all they really have to do is run out the clock.

Sure the Pats had all three time-outs left but they would have used them all and a Morman punt would have surely pinned them deep had the Bills gone 3 and out.

Well we'll never know because our other possible F-Tard decided to not only run the ball out of the end-zone but one he was wrapped up tried to fight for another yard instead of going down.

What happened?  He was stripped, New England recovered and Brady lead the Pats on another game winning drive.  What could have been possibly the biggest upset of the weekend was spoiled by one F-Tard.

There you have it, our two nominees for F-Tard of the week.  Please vote early and often.  Until next week Loyal Reader.
