String together a few bad weeks in January and maybe nobody notices. That’s the fun of pro sports, where sometimes a slump is just a slump.
A has-been, or maybe a never-was, or perhaps somehow both at the same time. And you know what that means: The guy’s a bum. Whatever the case, they’re not meeting expectations, and that’s putting it kindly. Maybe they’re not posting numbers, or maybe you’re barely noticing them, or maybe they just look lost out there.
We’re two weeks into the season, and your favorite team probably has at least one player who’s off to a bad start.
