I hope I'm not the only person annoyed by Shaun Alexander's latest whine fest. I'm begining to think there's not enough room in this state for both him and Chris Vance, considering the collective amount of steam both men have been blowing of late.
Shaun "it's about me" Alexander's latest tirade comes after his team clinched their division title ... not exactly the time to be whining but apparently personal stats trump team energy. Go figure.
Alexander was poised to win the rushing title (most yards by a running back this season for those of you who hate sports blogs), but after losing yards on several attempts, the coach called for a QB sneak that resulted in the game-winning TD.
I guess the whole playoffs thing doesn't matter though because after the game Alexander caughed up this selfish sentiment, "I was stabbed in the back."
Poor Shaun didn't get his stats to gloat over nor did he get that extra clout that may have come in handy during his expensive free agnecy hearings which will follow this season. Too bad.
The Seahawks are in the playoffs, somehow, and Shaun could use a little perspective on the disenfranchised city that he represents. Let's just hope he doesn't use this as an excuse to dodge big hits and run half-hearted. This is still a contract year and he still hasn't won every fans' heart.
