Walter Jones

What can you say about Walter Jones? He's the greatest of all time. There are all kinds of stats to back that up... too many to list here. But here's a fun one I heard from one of our Mustacheers, EP: Walter Jones had as many holding penalties, as he did Pro Bowl Appearances: 9. I know what you're thinking... 9?!?! He only went to 9 Pro Bowls??!?! Obviously he got shafted a few of those years.

Anyway, Big Walt, thanks for the years of service. You will be missed! The best ever!

A Moment of Silence

Walt Jones' career might be over. Let's all take a moment out of our day to appreciate his outstanding play over the years. And in the words of Vince McMahon, "If this really is the end, I would like to say thank you for the memories." (2nd time that's been quoted this week. Also funny to think about the fact that he said this to Hogan in 1992. Maybe that means Walt isn't done quite yet.)

RESPEKT!

Congrats to Big Walt. He's our only Pro-Bowler!

Now let's just root for an injury (non-career threatening) to Cooley or Witten, cuz I gotta imagine Carlson is the first alternate there.

Trufant... he'll need a few injuries I'm guessing.

GO SEAHAWKS!!!

Mike Sando wrote a really cool little piece on Walter Jones in his NFC West blog on ESPN:

I want to apologize for being harsh on Walter this season. And while I still feel his overall play is slipping, it's through no fault of his. Players get older, that's just how it goes. Anyway... Walter Jones will always be the man, and probably deserves to go up there next to Steve Largent at Qwest. I ain't talkin' ring of honor (which is cool)... I'm talking retired number. #80 and the #71.
