- Middle initial “F.” Um…you should probably be able to figure this one out. Certain players earn an “F” as a result of their play on the field. Unlike in the classroom, here at FootballSickness.com it is a profane, and profound, compliment.
- GRUDES: Jonathan F. Gruden, Preferred Future Head Coach of the Cleveland Browns.
- The Turd: Braylon Edwards. This one’s revocable, but, so far it’s not looking good. Drop another one. Seriously, dude.
- Number Two: Recently-flushed Raiders quarterback Jamarcus Russell
- The Bonecrusher: Bernard F. Pollard, Safety for the Houston Texans. See also Knee, Tom Brady’s.

- The Tebowlievers: A massive swath of America blinded by their love for one Timothy F. Tebow, who we at FootballSickness.com genuinely like and enjoy watching play but can somehow, magically, simultaneously acknowledge that he can’t hit the broad side of a frigging barn on half of his passes. It’s ok to notice, people.
