Despite the fact that, as some of you pointed out last night, the NFL already has essentially ruled out a return by Alexander.
On Thursday, the Associated Press tracked Shaun down and asked him about his plans.
And it sounds like he has done more than not rule out a return.
"I feel before the season is over, I think somebody will go down and they'll say, 'We want somebody who can score some touchdowns and make some things happen,'" Alexander said, per the AP. "They'll say, 'Let's go get Shaun.'"
Alexander also contends that he's a young 32, with less miles on the tires than most running backs his age.
"I've played nine years but really it feels like I played maybe four because of how the game is played and how coach [Mike] Holmgren and Stump Mitchell used me," Alexander said. "Even my MVP year, I didn't play in nine quarters because we were beating teams so bad."
So, basically, Alexander will wait for someone to get hurt, and then for the phone to ring.
"If the right team comes along . . . they will be very, very happy with what they get," Alexander said.
In unrelated news, I'm getting so excited for the UFL...
Did he really say...........
"Stump Mitchell used me"
Sounds painful. Has jimicos felt that pain? Bet ya have!
The UFL could be interesting, especially when a certain blue-jeans wearing QB unretires to play in it.
I can't stand Deoin Sanders but his "Tiptoe Bandit" nickname for Alexander is spot on and hilarious.
Shouldn't there be comment about how he is hanging on too long and needs to give it up like "Lord" Favre? ProFavreTalk is losing its edge.
