Greetings to the greatness of the Oakland Raider fanatics!!!!!! What’s good, peeps??!?!
Jeff Garcia as an Oakland Raider?
Impressive..most impressive..
His skills will only truly be utilized if something physically ever happens to JaM Russell..(gulp!)
or perhaps if he just stinks it up on the field again. (double gulp!)
Sure, I don’t want it to happen either, but realistically? A young team like ours needs a Veteran with the kind of leadership (and insurance) that the Gilroy product brings.

Here’s a few things from his bio you might not know
(..and knowing is half the battle: GI JOE! Lord, I’m old…)

Jeffrey Jason Garcia (born February 24, 1970) is an American football quarterback who is currently looking for work. Garcia’s professional career began in the CFL before signing with the San Francisco 49ers and starting for them at quarterback for five seasons (1999-2003). After disappointing seasons in Cleveland and Detroit, Garcia resurrected his career in Philadelphia and went on to play solidly for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Garcia is of Irish and Mexican descent.
(So for all of you fellow Latinos that thought we’d only win again with ANOTHER Mexican QB..
Al’s finally granting your wish! )

Garcia is one of only seven quarterbacks in NFL history that have achieved two consecutive (back-to-back) 30-touchdown passing seasons (2000 and 2001) at least one time in their career. The others are Steve Bartkowski, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Dan Fouts, Dan Marino, and Y.A. Tittle. He is also one of only eleven quarterbacks to throw a 99 yard touchdown pass.
Good to know…
After his run with the Eagles, Garcia signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on March 3, 2007, to compete for their starting position. Although his more familiar number 5 was available, Garcia decided to keep the number 7 he wore with the Eagles. In an ironic twist, Bruce Gradkowski, who was wearing number 7 with the Buccaneers, agreed to change his number to 5 in order to let Garcia wear number 7.
At the start of the 2007 regular season, Garcia was the Bucs’ starting quarterback and had the third highest quarterback rating in the National Football League. He also brought the Bucs to the playoffs. The Buccaneers lost to the eventual Super Bowl winning Giants 24-14 in the NFC Wild Card Playoffs on January 6, 2008 with Garcia throwing for 207 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. On January 24, 2008 it was announced that Garcia would be replacing Brett Favre in the Pro Bowl, making it his first Pro Bowl since 2002. Garcia suggested in 2008 that he might stage a holdout of the Buccaneers if they didn’t meet his contract extension demands. He was in the final year of the two-year contract. He was expected to make $2.75 million that season, including a $750,000 roster bonus.
Jeff Garcia stayed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and started in the 2008 opening game against the New Orleans Saints. After a poor performance, he was demoted to third string on the depth chart and placed on the inactive roster. However, following an injury to quarterback Brian Griese in fourth week of the season, Jeff Garcia started in his place. During a victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Garcia surpassed 40,000 yards for his career when combining his statistics from both the CFL/NFL; becoming the 20th player to accomplish the feat.
On February 16, 2009, the Buccaneers told Garcia they do not want him to return in 2009. He is currently a free agent and has no plans to retire. ESPN reported on April 4, 2009, that Garcia was negotiating with the Oakland Raiders.

Garcia is the third of seven children born to Bob and Linda (née Elder) Garcia. A pair of twin girls died before his birth. His younger brother Jason drowned on a family camping trip in 1977 when Garcia was seven, and fourteen months later his younger sister Kimberly died after falling out of a truck. His two surviving sisters, Jene and Melissa, were born after the deaths of Jason and Kimberly. Garcia has said that much of his drive stems from trying to make his parents happy after the deaths of his siblings. His maternal grandfather, “Red” Elder, was a football star at Kansas State in the 1940s; both played in the East-West Shrine Game while in college, the only grandfather/grandson duo to do so. Elder was a longtime coach at Gilroy (CA) High School. Garcia donated money to refurbish the athletic field at the school, and the field was renamed Garcia-Elder Field to honor both of them.
Garcia married Carmella DeCesare, the 2004 Playboy Playmate of the Year, on April 21, 2007 in San Martin, California. They have a daughter named Presley who was born on April 28, 2008. The couple is currently expecting their second child.

Anyone remember TO’s jabber when he was asked if he thought Jeff was gay back in the day?
“Like my boy tells me: If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.”
Lord, what an imbecile that punk b#$% was..
excuse me, is.
l now ask all non believers to please Google Carmella DeCesare…
Lord, have mercy.

Currently, there’s no new news on recent Mock Drafts. Almost every selection has us picking up Maclin (for his speed) or Crabtree (for his overall ability).
Does anyone think these choices will possibly change if the Raiders throw Plaxico Buress in the mix?
Yeah, I know most of you think this might be a bad pickup…
but the Lord of the Sith, Master of all evil can’t help but wonder though..
just how bad was that shot to the thigh?

Then again, he stupidly shot himself..ugh.
Do we really need another NFL player bringing his tech 9 to our beautiful bay area clubs and possible charity events?

Fine, I’ll stop amusing myself.

I encourage ALL fans to now look at our throwback uniforms/logos we will probably be rockin’ on our opening Monday night Football game.
I honestly am a HUGE fan of the old school stuff from the Otto 60’s era..
(notice Jay Cutler’s number is also displayed from the Donkeys..HA!)
