Derwin's Douche of the Week (Week 1)

The Week 1 Douche of the Week goes to St. Louis Rams running back, Stephen Jackson.  Jackson was a consensus #2 overall pick in fantasy leagues everywhere and he only mustered out 3 lousy fantasy points.  Thanks to his lackluster running effort of 58 yards, his JV 3 receiving yards, and not one, but TWO fumbles, Jackson not only killed the Rams chances of starting 1-0, but also Social Derwinism’s. 

Stephen, you were up against one of the league’s top defenses, so I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt with the low performance.  But there is no excuse for the turnovers.  Maybe if you would’ve taken a few snaps in pre-season, you would’ve been game ready.  I have no shortage of good running backs on my fantasy team.  If you come out with another lousy week like that, I’m going to bench you.  Then I will create a new award just for you.  You see, just calling you the Douche of the Week won’t do.  Your name will become synonymous with Douche, so we may just call it this week’s Stephen Jackson. 

Honorable mention goes to Miami Dolphins LB Zach Thomas for injuring Redskins offensive lineman Jon Jansen.  Jansen has been a staple of the modern day “Hogs,” and thanks to Thomas, he may miss the entire 2007-08 season.  Had Stephen Jackson not had such an awful game, Thomas would easily be the Douche.  So since there can only be one Douche, instead I just give Thomas the finger and I hope someone rolls into his knee and ends his season early.  I’d also like to say the line judge for the Chargers/Bears game, Charles Stewart, deserves a Douche nomination for completely missing the Bears jumping off sides during a goal line stance that led to a Chargers turnover.  The turnover became meaningless, but the man has one job and if he can’t even do that right, you deserve to only make $25,000 per year.

Fan Comments Steven Jackson needed some touches in the preseason and it showed Sunday. He touched the ball twice in the preseason, catching two passes. Let's see if he can come to play this week Derwin!!? Posted at 11/09 14:31 by JeremiahS What are talking about? Jansen was weight-roomed down bro. Zach Thomas is not a cheap player and that play was football bro! Its called CLEANS in the weight room... How about Lorenzo Neal's take down of Mike Brown. He may be suspended for that one buddy, you didn't even mention it. He horse-collared Brown down and it looked just nasty. That was the cheap shot of the year!
