Thought I would pile on this bandwagon as I watched in utter shock the dismal play of the former pro-bowler, Ken Hamlin, tonight as he became the key cog when the Cowboys defense gift-wrapped this victory for the Ravens. Perhaps we should form a club as the membership grows and call ourselves the official "Hamlin Haters" - has a nice ring to it, huh? Anyways...
Here's a little tidbit from one of the mediots out there who seems to agree:
It went down with Baltimore's McGahee, who hadn't broken a run of longer than seven yards in six games, breaking a 77-yarder. The only Dallas defender who had a chance on the play was safety Ken Hamlin, who choked away this game more than any safety has choked away a game in the history of the NFL. And soon I will prove it. Meantime, on this particular play, Hamlin ducked his head and dived at McGahee's legs near the line of scrimmage -- and missed. McGahee was gone.
It went down with Baltimore's McClain, a powerful runner but not a breakaway threat, breaking away for 82 yards. The only Dallas defender who had a chance on the play was Hamlin, again. This time he went high, trying to jump on McClain's back. McClain shrugged him off like a dirty towel.
For Hamlin, it was the conclusion of an astounding second half of football. In addition to missing tackles on both long touchdown runs, he also blew an easy fumble recovery in the third quarter. McClain had fumbled, and the ball bounced free near the line of scrimmage. Had the nearest safety been Baltimore's Ed Reed, the play would have ended with a Ravens touchdown, because Reed is that good. But the nearest safety was Hamlin, and he bobbled the ball into the hands of a Baltimore player, because Hamlin is that bad.

This has been one of the worst days as a sports fan that I can care to remember in such a long, long time. Think I'll go out and get fitted for that bag we're suppose to wear now over our heads. This loss not only sucks, but it hurts too...deep.
