Sunday Sports Section
Perusing the Sunday edition of the Seattle Times this morning I came across two football-related items worth mentioning. One was an advertisement by Bon-Macy's selling Jerry Rice Seahawks jerseys. No Koren Robinson. No Darrell Jackson. No Itula Mili. No Jerramy Stevens. Apparently the 'Hawks pass-catching inabilities are so bad that they are finally affecting retail decisions in the holiday season.
In other news, Tim Brown--Jerry's teammate in Oakland--was angry about the booing his QB, Brad Johnson, got at home last week. He was quoted as saying, "...when they boo Brad, it shows you're coming to the game to be entertained, not to be supportive." Uh, hello Tim? You guys aren't politicians, public servants or soldiers--you are entertainers. I would like to think that most NFL player are not this out-of-touch but Shaun Alexander's similar rant may prove me wrong.
Guess what guys? Fans dole out a lot of money to see you play. Fans want the team to win so badly. The team is bigger than you. When you suck, the team is hurt. When you continue to under-perform you get replaced. Booing is a form of public referendum of your on-field performance. If you don't like it, then don't play.
