Athlete of the Week Archive
| Athlete | Author | Comment |
| Matt Cassel | Barry Roos | Franchise tag guarantees him at least at least $14.65 million this year. He worked his way up from a college DNP to a quite proficient NFL quarterback. Good economy, he don't need no stinkin' good economy... | Santonio Holmes | Barry Roos | There always seems to be one guy who comes up big and makes the big grab. Sunday Holmes made that catch. | Larry Fitzgerald | Barry Roos | His 419 yards surpassed the great Jerry Rice for reception yards in the playoffs. Anytime you break a Jerry Rice record, you are pretty fine. So I guess you could call him Larry Fine. | Tim Tebow | Barry Roos | How often do we report that a college athlete is coming back for their Senior Year? After 2 championships and a Heisman, Tebow is coming back. This from ESPN: "I feel like I'm a role model, and a lot of times people start things and don't finish them. I didn't want to be like that. I wanted to be loyal to the university. I wanted to finish what I started and play another year." Refreshing, no? | Darren Sproles | Barry Roos | Sproles had 328 total yards. He had 105 rushing yards, 45 yards receiving, 106 kick return yards & 72 punt return yards. Meanwhile LaDainian Tomlinson sat out most of the game, as he did in last year's playoffs. Does he have a groin issue, or a lack of groin issue? | Miami Dolphins | Barry Roos | A famous man once said, "it smells like fish in here". That man was correct. The Dolphins turned it around and won their division with help from the loser Jets and their sucky Florida brethren from Jacksonville. | Celtics | Barry Roos | 18 Straight. 'nuff said. | GW Bush | Barry Roos | You may have a problem with his presidency, but there is no denying his athletic prowess in avoiding the flying shoes. His reaction time was impressive, and his movements catlike. Do you think William Howard Taft could have avoided those shoes? | Arizona Cardinals | Barry Roos | 33 years since this franchise won a division title. That deserves recognition, don't you think? | Pete Chabot | Barry Roos | The weather outside was frightful, but that couldn't keep out Superfan Chabot. What's even more impressive is he went SRO. This guy is the mail service of fans. Nothing can keep him from his appointed rounds as a fan. The Pats may not always show, but Superfan Pete Chabot always will. |
