TAMPA
It's not my proudest moment but they say confession is good for the soul.
Until Sunday, I'd never heard of Alfred Blue. If my wife had told me she was painting our daughters' bedrooms Alfred Blue, it would've sounded like a great color to get behind.
But there he was, Alfred Blue, running like a spilled quart of Sherwin-Williams all over the Buccaneers defense on Sunday. The Texans tailback rushed for 139 yards on 31 carries, including a 20-yard touchdown run. A bolt from the Blue.
A little research shows that Blue started seven games in four years at LSU, never rushed for more than 123 yards in his career with the Tigers and was a sixth-round draft pick.
