Springs is aboard

[Dave Nelson]

As a longtime Seattle resident, let me fill you all in what you're going to get with Shawn Springs. First, he'll be hurt by the 4th exhibition game, if not the second or third. He'll give a long interview with a local columnist about how this was his year and it's so heartbreaking that he's hurt. He'll vow to still come back and have a great year but he won't-he'll most likely be the third cornerback for most of the season. Springs loves to play the part of the big star but when he does play, you'll see a ton of big completions with him showing up a couple seconds late time and time again. Here's another couple things to know about him. He was beaten by Terrell Owens on the infamous sharpie play in 02. Owens signed the pen in front of Springs. Did he blow a gasket? No-they have the same agent and he patted him on the butt. Also, when Emmitt Smith broke the all-time rushing record in Dallas, Springs went over and patted him too-he's not life or death about winning by any means. This guy thinks he's a star but he's not. He'll be always hurt and have a million excuses. This was a huge blunder by the Skins-10 million bonus-what a waste of money.
