Hold that letter

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, September 10th, 2009 at 8:08 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Saw Greg Papa at the Coliseum, who explained there was a miscommunication with a staff that resulted in him being quoted as saying the Raiders had sent a letter to Richard Seymour saying he had five days to report to the team.

During the open session of practice, William Joseph was on the field as well as an entire contingent of wide recievers (not including Chaz Schilens). Tom Cable will address the media following practice at the Alameda facility.

Will check in following briefing from Cable . . .

  20. Terrapin Says:

    Damn you talk about a bad call. Why would you run against a wall on 3rd and 1? You are having at least some success throwing it.

  21. Terrapin Says:

    If Tennesse nor Pitts can make a 3 man rush work then that sht should be banned from the NFL playbook. Never to be seen again in Raider uniform.

  22. Glutten for Punishment Says:

    but it ok its the steelers

  23. Terrapin Says:

    Even worse is when you run it consecutively in a wall. Steelers did that crap at least 2 or 3 times this game. And each time that got NADA!

  24. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    Glutten (Glutton) For Punishment, you spelled your own moniker wrong. If you can’t spell your own name, you should be banned.

  25. KoolKell Says:

    Good game tonite, how many penalities, veery few. Good hitting.

  27. Glutten for Punishment Says:

    i would much rather have a good D than a good O. im jealous as hell watching these teams.

  28. Glutten for Punishment Says:

    i meant to spell it that way. gots meaning you dont understand. thanx though

  29. thetown Says:

    I dont understand this entry by Jerry. Did they send the letter or not?

  30. thetown Says:

    Nice punt. Wheres coach Cowher when you need a punter to get snatched by his face mask?

  31. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    They did not send the letter because Al does not know how to use e-mail.

  32. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    Oh snap!

  33. RaiderLen Says:

    Paine, That’s an offensive remark. I drink the koolaid.

    Take it back or be banned.

  34. thetown Says:

    Must be in the same mailbox with the letter for Lance Kiffin

  35. RaidingTexas Says:

    Ha ha. Hines Ward is gettin’ old. Fool can’t hold on to the ball any more.

  36. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    RaiderLen, I do the banning around here.

  37. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    The Titans should air it out here.

  38. Terrapin Says:

    I just do not look forward to seeing TScott man the RDE spot on all downs come Monday. I just don’t think it’ll be pretty. LT/Sproiles are going to turn that side into a highlight reel.

  39. thetown Says:

    Good call ABP! Go vertical or Go home!

  40. Glutten for Punishment Says:

    i do really hate tenn.

  41. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

  42. Raider75 Says:

    Papa got in trouble for opening his mouth. Oops!

  43. thetown Says:

    Hines Ward looks more like Fresh Kid Ice from the 2 Live Crew every year. Now THAT was a rapper.

  44. Terrapin Says:

    Pitts had some pretty bad calls go against them though. Almost Raider like.

    RaiderLen, I do the banning around here.

    ====================================================
    LOL…Do the right thing Paine, fall on the sword.

    You’ve breached the etiquette around here.

    To imply that AL is not up with the times is obscene no matter how you couch it.

  46. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    damn!

  47. GalacticGus Says:

    despite all the recent trades between the teams, Patriots and their fans hate the Raiders the most because its like staring themselves in the mirror and reminding them that they needed the most terrible call in NFL history to get them their first superbowl title…. aside that from the 2O year plus memories of Raiders dominance … lets not forget that the Colts also experienced what the Raiders experienced in the one sided calls during the those AFC playoff games until the Colts finally punched through.
    Yeah, I don’t know what happenened.. the Krafts have a lot of corporate power to capitalize on the post 9 1-1
    hysteria to maintain what was supposed to be a national symbol on top.

    Good game tonite, how many penalities, veery few. Good hitting.”

    Saw Palomaulu get 3 penalties in the first half. But I will take those three penalties any day to have a player play like he did in the first half. Talk about a man possesed, that one handed pick was nothing short of spectacular. Too bad he hurt his knee. It must be bad, he usually plays through pain if he can…

  49. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    Alright Len, the reason the letter was not sent was because Al is setting up his elaborate power point presentation.

  50. raiderkoolaid Says:

    Why can’t Richardson hold the point at DE? He has good size and he is built like Tarzan. Why does he play like Jane?

  51. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    GalacticGus, no 9-11 conspiracies allowed.

  52. RaidingTexas Says:

    Hard to hate Tennessee. They make the Raiders #1 QB picks look like genius moves. Gotta love that Vince Young pickup. Man, dumbest QB ever to be taken that high in a draft. That guy is an embarrassment to the word stupid.

  53. raidertay Says:

    We are the frickin laughing stock of the NFL. We kept a low profile all offseason and then right before the season Boom!! Drama!!

  54. RaiderDogg Says:

    Regarding Troy’s injury, the Madden Curse didn’t waste any time taking out one of the cover guys. Larry Fitzgerald better watch himself on Sunday…

  55. raidertay Says:

    Seymore is cool and all but hes not worth tearin this team apart with this drama. I agree let JayRich hold down the RDE.

  56. thetown Says:

    I would like to think of us as the NFL’s own tomato can.

  57. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    The Raiders could beat Pittsburgh.

  59. Raider75 Says:

  60. Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    Jamarcus Russel is the next Big Ben.

  61. lefty12 Says:

    Tenn.defense has looked terrible the last few times the stealers have had the ball.maybe there is something about the Off. helping the Def. by keeping them off the field and letting them rest.

  62. Terrapin Says:

    I hope JR is better than Ben. Don’t take Ben’s notes and hold that damn ball too long. You’ll get killed with Green protecting you!

  63. RAIDER505 Says:

    Collinsworth should be in the squilers shower with them as much as he loves them

  69. Raider75 Says:

    Raiders bring a lot of negative press on themselves by not making statements to the press.

    Then they tell Cable to lie when he talks. (I’ve talked to Seymour and he wants to be a Raider.)

    Just crazy. Too much conjecture and no facts.

    Raiders need to make an official statement on this and not let this mess drag into the weekend.

  74. Brien the General Says:

    Who gives one funky ass damn about Seymour? Hey I would be glad to have him play but if he doesnt wanna come oh friggin well. If Russell doesnt play well then it wont matter who we acquire via free agency, trade or draft

  75. Mistabrown Says:

    Hmmmmm havent seen Priest since Jerry banned started banning goons..

  76. KoolKell Says:

    Tenn went with the 4 man rush in the 4th qtr, while Ben ripped them to shreds. (note)

    I remember the 70’s and the battles with Pitt. Loooooong time agooooooo.

    Now, let’s see if the Raiders can get lined up straight, Monday.

  77. Brien the General Says:

    Mista…….I take high offense to that. Jerry bans folks due to them calling him out on a being a no good writer and a punk for sure. We are already on to you Jerry.

  84. Brien the General Says:

    Mista………….and Priest is a great grand puba of this site and I value his input eventhough I disagree with him every now and then

  85. raidertay Says:

    What a difference Haynesworth makes. Roeslinberger had all frickin night to throw the ball. U cant cover guys 4ever. A QB should not be pump fakin 3 or 4 times.

  86. WTF Says:

    VOID the deal! He could have helped but him sitting out the year would hurt us more than him. Should have addressed DL more offseason anyway. Dicipline, gap responsibility, yeah that will fix it. STUPID!

  87. Brien the General Says:

    Let’s pray Marshall has a plan to disrupt Rivers. I’m not worried about the combo of Tomlinson/Sproles. Pressuring Rivers and causing turnovers is the real key

  88. Brien the General Says:

    Raidertay, that had nada to do with Hayneswroth. That defense played great but they messed up time and time again on offense.. Tennessee had business losing that game

  89. RAIDER505 Says:

    Looking at the first four games we could be 3 and 1 with building confidence and momentum for the rest of the season lets have faith i know its not easy seeing the last 6 years but you cant open new doors till old ones close and its time we seal them old doors up

  90. Brien the General Says:

    WTF, we cant void a damn thing. Seymour needs to come to Oakland or end his career. Al will sabotage it and franchise him the next two years just to spite him. Al is a vendetta having old man. Seymour is beyond an idiot for doing this

  91. thetown Says:

    The move to trade for Dick Seymour was a sound move to begin with but once it went south the should have pulled the rip cord right away

    Franchise a player not playing. Sounds like Al but how does that help us. Too bad this chess match isn’t going on with chefs on the schedule.

  99. RAIDER505 Says:

    What made the Raiders great were alot of players of average skill who had pride and respect for the Raiders as an organization and determined to keep that going. once we have that heart in our players who give that little extra cause they have silver and black blood we will return. there is a reason they say once a raider always a raider. atleast it was that way. alot of our greatest players were castted off by other teams but found pride and poise here.

    —————–
    Hmmm…

    Not sure about that.

    Seems the whole offseason has been a smorgasbord of chaos, starting with the ‘Al hired a GM, didn’t hire one, Cable hired the assts, the “other guy” hired the assts, Al hired the assts, ..

    to draft day..

    to a round house, followed by an uppercut that allegedly/maybe/possibly happened to an asst from a mysterious unknown assailant.

    I wouldn’t really call that a “low profile”, would you?

  115. RAIDER505 Says:

    ==================
    You are correct in that the Raiders tend to bring this upon themselves.

    IMO it goes back some time when Al enjoyed this to no end.
    He’s always fancied himself as being above the “minions” reporting, chosing to speak only when he feels a notion to, actually enjoying the suspense, keeping pundits pondering.
    No doubt Al enjoyed the speculation on whatever it was he choose to keep secret until he decided to announce it, with much fanfare, usually/exclusively when there was no other conflicting “reporting” going on, ensuring the limelight was all his.

    Al’s actually done this for quite some time.

    Unfortunately, as time has gone on, it’s turned into a negative. When things aren’t going well, having unbridled speculation, mostly negative, leads to much discontent, by reporters and the fans.

    You are right. A simple comment, one way or the other, has to be better than everyone wondering what the hell is going on, and who said, what, exactly, to who, when.

  121. RAIDER505 Says:

    I hate to admit it but ya he needs help at the very least

    Just ran into Michael Crabtree down at Trader Joe’s, he was with a couple of women, buying frozen chinese orange chicken and some kind of strange imported beer that you only see at Trader Joe’s. He was cool as hell, super nice guy. He had a stoney look in his eye like he may have burned some herb earlier. He was iced out as well.

    I asked about how things were going and he just smiled. I told him that I was a Raider fan and he said he honestly thought that the Raiders were going to draft him. I asked him about playing for the 9ers he just chuckled and one of the women he was with started cracking up.

    Cool guy though.

    Espn just reported that lance kiffin said he recieved some strange letter from Al that he had to report to Oakland in 5 days. Sounds like Al had the wrong address.

    Mista

    I think one of the women was related to him, the one that was cracking up, she looked good. The other one was dressed very professional and was somewhat subdued. Probably works for him. She looked smokin.

    If I tell you which Trader Joe’s some psychopathic scumbag will know where I live. I will say that it is in the North Bay Area.

    Just ran into Michael Crabtree down at Trader Joe’s, he was with a couple of women, buying frozen chinese orange chicken and some kind of strange imported beer that you only see at Trader Joe’s. He was cool as hell, super nice guy. He had a stoney look in his eye like he may have burned some herb earlier. He was iced out as well.

    I asked about how things were going and he just smiled. I told him that I was a Raider fan and he said he honestly thought that the Raiders were going to draft him. I asked him about playing for the 9ers he just chuckled and one of the women he was with started cracking up.

    Cool guy though.
    ——————————-

    Wow.

    Heavy duty stuff.

    You really went all out.

    Congrats.

    You should write children books, with that wonderfully witty composure.

    Something on the line of Cat in the Hat.

    Can’t publish it until you turn 18, but don’t you worry, little fella..the next couple of years will just fly on by.

    No…really…it will.

  140. AirRade Says:

    Dogg,

    Did you talk to Santa Claus too while you were there?

  141. lefty12 Says:

    KK-explain again how it’s the raiders(AD) fault that they made a fair,league approved trade and a player under contract refuses to report.shouldn’t the player be condemned for not living up to the contract he signed?

  142. RaiderDogg Says:

    Raiders get roster exemption for Seymour. No knowledge of 5-day letter. Has spoken with him, but not in last 24 hours. McFadden to start

  143. Mistabrown Says:

    This Seymour thing isnt over it just might get real juicy! Seymour will NOT play for NE after this. If the deal gets axed the Pats will be stuck with him and THEY will have to move him at a HUGE discount….thanks to AL’s blunder!

    :D

  144. AirRade Says:

    Lefty,

    Are you serious? LOL!!!! Who made the Raiders into a traveling sideshow?? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  145. AirRade Says:

    How is it Als fault?? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  146. RAIDER505 Says:

    You cant make a deal without talking to the player or his rep. But i say screw him and let him age pouting

  147. Frank YoooooooLLL Says:

    The raiders will not ever be the raiders of old because of all the new undiciplined talent coming out of college, these guys are crack baby age and thats all I got to say about that.

    and the funny thing is bspn just said that its official, letter has been sent, and if he doesnt show by tuesday, the Raiders MUST suspend him. yet Raiders officials no nothing of a letter being sent.

  149. RAIDER505 Says:

    Ya cause bspn is always right

  150. RaiderDogg Says:

    Crabtree is going to sit out the entire season and re-enter the draft in 2010.

    Funny how Rack o lamb is gone all day but some mentally challenged midget named Biz something just happens to be here all day. Well isn’t that just a little bit odd. What a strange circumstance that is. And now Ricky’s here and Biz isn’t. Wow… How strange…
    =============
    WAIT!!!!.

    First I’m Jerry.

    then I’m Tim Kawakami…or Nancy Gay…or Skip Bayless…

    then I’m Jerry again..this time, according to jhill..”I just have to be”…

    And now I’m someone named Biz??

    did “Biz” post to me? Prop me? Back me?
    WELL??

    Do you have ANY idea how incredibly insecure you sound?

    Do you hear sounds? Shadows that you’re sure are there, but no one else sees?

    Answer me this..WHY WOULD I, OR ANYONE WASTE THE TIME TO SIGN IN UNDER ANOTHER NAME??

    Makes zero sense.

    IF SOMEONE WERE TO BOTHER DOING THAT, unless they were doing it to actually prop their own comments, WHY WOULD YOU WASTE YOUR TIME??

    You don’t see anyone exchanging with me…do you?

    Even ONE? lol…no.

    Now, again, why in the hell would I ever have the need to post as another handle?
    Yes, it’s RIDICULOUS to think I’m Jerry..or Tim..or whoever. Humourous as hell, but nonetheless..ridiculous.

    I am laughing though.

    Not a total waste, I suppose :)

  153. lefty12 Says:

    airrade-i have many problems with the old guy,but saying he doesn’t care about winning is totally wrong.if anything,he cares too much about winning and may make questionable decisions.

  154. RAIDER505 Says:

    It could all be on his agent for not disclosing info a deal like this is not thought of over coffee. it had to atleast been thrown out there to him or his rep

  155. Mistabrown Says:

    AL did this on purpose just to screw the Pats for robbing Moss. NE might not get more than a 3rd rounder now that all GM’s know NE has to dump him…lmao

    Wow.

    He loves us???

    Tell him “We love you too, you big lug!”

  157. lefty12 Says:

    i will say it again-the Raiders made a trade with NE.the league approved the trade.the Raiders gave up a 1st rd draft pick.-the pats. gave up a player who is under contract.it is the players responsibility to live up to that contract.it is not the Raiders fault if he chooses not to,it is his fault.

  158. RAIDER505 Says:

    Al Davis wants to win. But it has to be his way. I know he was is and will be the Raiders now and in the future even after he has gone that being said JUST WIN BABY

    That’s the stupidest thing I have ever read.

    Here is what happened:

    BB: Hey, Al. Richard Seymour might be available.

    AD: Are you here to take away my bedpan?

    BB: No, Richard Seymour. Five time pro bowler.

    AD: Do they give me Jello today? I like it when they put the fruit in there.

    BB: We love him, but he is available. How about a 3rd rounder?

    AD: I want my Jello first before the peas. How come my great grandchildren never visit anymore?

    BB: A first rounder? OK, we will do that.

    AD: They don’t let me have sharp objects anymore.

    BB: It is OK. Just use a pencil.
