Just saw ESPN’s “My Wish” with Jailen Cooper meeting the Raiders . . . COOL!!!
July 19th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Players saving according to a plan?
I have a new plan that will make you save?
hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahaha
I bet for every one that saves, theres 4 with money problems. How many baby mamas does DMAC support with a monthly ten grand check?
Private sector unions are shrinking by the day while public unions grow too expensive to support.
Almost every strike I have seen in my days winds up as a minus for the members and a plus for the corporations, attorneys, and union officials.
July 19th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Jailen is a smart and likable young man.
I loved his answer to Jerrymacs question
July 19th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
I like the NFLPA’s idea of refusing to sign a new deal until the owners prove they’re going broke. It’s a moral fight, and the union has right on their side. Sure there’s some players who can’t manage their money. As a Raider fan, you know that all to well. It’s Al Davis’s money most of them blow. But most players away from whacky Raider land are smart and can manage their money, and I think the union will come out of this just fine.
July 19th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Plunk,
Saw that today when I got home from work. Very nice piece.
Best wishes to that lil fella.
That was first class by the Raiders all the way.
July 19th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
It was PR. Every team does this. I know Al Davis already invented the pig skin football and the modern black man as we know it, but are we really going to credit him with having sick kids visit their favorite sports teams, too? If this kid’s truly a Raider fan, Davis should have done something really charitable, like retired.
July 19th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Wow that might have been the most boring 4 hour drive of my life.
Jailen seemed to have been picking up the offense quicker than Jamarcus.
Bruce only had to tell him twice and he had it down.
July 19th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I’m sure every team does stuff like that, but wonder why ESPN chose to run with the Raiders version?
I’m sure Al and Herrera weren’t calling the network pitching them on this story. Some one had to think it went above and beyond to setup a camera in Cable’s office for the initial phone call.
July 19th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Who credited Al with Jailen’s wish? It was the Make-a-Wish Foundation and ESPN that set it up. The thing is, that North Carolina kid picked the Raiders. We (Raiders fans) are all over the place and still growing!
July 19th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Oh, there’s Raider fans in North Carolina? OK, I get it. So, there’s no..say…Cowboy fans in North Carolina? Jets fans in North Carolina? Bills fans in North Carolina? 49er fans in North Carolina? Not even one fan of each team? The Raiders are “in” North Carolina, as if most NFL fans in N. Carolina are Raider fans? Or we just found proof there’s at least one Raider fan in North Carolina? That’s what we’re celebrating?
July 19th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
Slow night, Real? Trying to bait an argument over something as silly as a charitable 5-minute television segment. That’s pretty lame even for you. Have a good evening. Try not to kick any dogs or beat any women before you go to bed.
July 19th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Ha ha. You guys hate it when I make you think.
July 19th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Why do Raider fans act is if they’re taking over a region because there’s Raider fans there? There are fans of every NFL team in every city. Every city you can find a club for fans of each NFL team where they meet up to watch games. Every single one. Yet Raider fans think that because there’s at least one Raider fan in North Carolina…LOOK OUT. The Nation’s taking over. Pretty delusional.
July 19th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
What up NATION???
July 19th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
I see we signed JFORD… cant wait to see him in NFL action, he is a space eater, should be fun to watch how Hue Jack is going to use him….

I’ll say it again. DHB looked better as the year went on. This year he tears up the division, if not the league. My prediction is 1200 yds. 14 tds. 130 receptions. Write it down because when it comes true, I’m serving it up on a platter.

I’ll bet you, SeyGlen. $1000.00 right now, up front. And yeah, I do have it. Or at least I can borrow it from my Mom. It’s a sure thing, you fool.
Al Davis is still around. That should be your first clue, Sherlock. YOU JUST LOST.
July 19th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Wasn’t my 12 year old niece. Grow up dude. She’s 14, and hot. Not as hot as my aunt, but still, she’s worth the hidden camera shots I took in the pool room.
Don’t tell me you guys don’t have feelings for your family members. I’m still trying to get my sister to let me babysit her daughter. I can dream, can’t I?
July 19th, 2010 at 7:38 pm

And remember what I said before. JR will probably be signed by the Pats, or some other team who will bring him along slowly. Two years, maybe three from now, ProBowl.
That’s a guarantee.
July 19th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
At least you finally admit you’re an old fart, SeyGlen. Not like everyone didn’t know.

Seems like former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell has a humongous ego and refuses to lower his standards. Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times tweeted:
“According to a source close to former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, he has no intentions of playing in the UFL,” Aaron Wilson wrote on his Twitter page.
The former first overall pick either feels he’s too good for the UFL or is embarrassed to go down to what I call, the minors, to prove himself to be an NFL quarterback
******************
Good move on his part – not going to the UFL. But for other reasons. He’d no doubt fail there too and confirm to everyone what we already know – He’s a #1 LOSER.
Screw JaLoser & the horse he came in on. Just remember, no matter what color you paint a turd, it’s still a turd. JaLoser was our turd that we were stuck with for three years. The patient is feeling better now that we’ve taken a dump.
July 19th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
MR is trying to wager again? $1000? Thats alot of money. Well considering your a welcher, maybe not?
July 19th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Whats the name of that raider reciever coach that oakland needs to fire because of all the dropped passes?
July 19th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
MR is just a “Welcher”…that’s why he should refrain from making statements of level of success based on his “knowledge” because he is a “WELCHER” and has no right to make those statements.
So therefore, Richochet will come to his rescue…oh wait!….he can’t, because I predicted he would.
They are both gone.

Jerry Rice “scared to death” about Hall of Fame ceremony
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 19, 2010 6:35 PM ET
Competing comes naturally to Jerry Rice. But he’s “scared to death” about the upcoming Hall of Fame festivities in a few weeks, including his speech.
Rice spoke at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe this weekend, and said that Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan tried to convince him to come out of retirement there. (Rodgers didn’t have any luck, but was able to play with two childhood heroes.)

Emmitt Smith thinks all-time rushing mark will be “approached”
Posted by Mike Florio on July 19, 2010 11:25 PM ET
In less than three weeks, former Cowboys (and Cardinals) running back Emmitt Smith will be memorialized for all posterity in Canton. His first-year-of-eligibility enshrinement was a no-brainer, given that he holds the NFL’s all-time rushing record, with 18,355 yards.
And while LaDainian Tomlinson is the closest active player with a bit less than 6,000 yards to go (which equates to roughly half of his career rushing output to date), Smith believes that the record will some day be “approached.”
Not necessarily broken, but “approached.”
“I do believe it will be approached,” Smith told Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I would be naive to think that it could be not approached, because, hey, no one actually thought that Walter Payton’s record could be approached. Here I am, in 2002, ended up breaking that record and extended it out to 18,000-plus yards. I’m not going to sit here and tell you the record is not going to be approached or broken, but I do know this: It’s going to take an awful lot to get there, because I know what it took for me to get there. It’s not easy.”
Still, we think that Smith’s record is safe. Even with an 18-game season, few modern running backs display the durability that Smith demonstrated. Moreover, more and more teams are using two or more backs (Smith’s Cowboys now use three), which dilutes the opportunities for any one of them to get on the sustained pace necessary to knock off Smith.
So we’ll be shocked if anyone gets within sniffing distance of Smith’s record at any point in the foreseeable future. Though we’re not ready to proclaim the mark an DiMaggio-style achievement that likely never will be surpassed, it’s far closer to the Yankee Clipper’s 56-game hitting streak than any other NFL record currently on the books, with maybe the exception of Brett Favre’s all-time interception record.Emmitt Smith will be closely watching Chris Johnson and Raiders Darren Mcfadden and Jets LaDainian Tomlinson
To approach the mark but not surpass it.

Psychology 101 lesson.
- MR attacks people, gets attacked back, notifies authourites. Nothing happens, creates Richochet.
- Richochet/MR proceeds to attack anyone/everyone with knowledge/full access, to everything MR knows as Moderator/long-term blogger.
- Richochet/MR eventually starts to attack MR/Richochet who plays along until they start undermining each others validity by accusing each other (and others) as being cross-posters.
- MR/Richochet responds by being an obvious g@y, thief of other people’s accounts to appease Richochet/MR.
-MR/Richochet displays his complete lack of knowledge of University life by arguing about drinking at University (similar to his gullibility regarding Tim Brown’s statement about Raider players “saying” Al Davis hates smart, black guys from ND), which is very similar to Richochet/MR’s fixation on the literal of every post (you said this – you said that…at time).
- MR/Richochet has just proven that neither one (or the one) has never been to University to take Psych 101 or been there on Friday night….when everyone drank at least one time…like Montana’s son.
Period.
- Richochet/MR still wants to be the dominant personality and MR/Richochet is still trying to figure out how to reign him

80 year old owner.
Does not have a GM, as far as we know, is the de facto GM.
Has had losing records for 7 seasons straight.
Has not stepped down, still owner, still de facto GM.
Head coach was hired on an interim basis, ESPN obtained audio of Al Davis admitting he had no idea who Cable was at the time of his hiring. The ESPN report can easily be found with a youtube search.
Head coach attacked a team employee a year ago. Raiders’ brushed it off as typical training camp intensity, many fans promised it would motivate the team. Team ends up with same record as it did in 2008.
Starting Quarterback is Jason Campbell, who has a 19-35 career record as a starter, and a 1-10 career record against teams with 10 wins more more.

That’s not how you win in this league, Fat Kidd. Getting rid of players is merely step 1.
July 19th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Take T.O. Niners get rid of him, go nowhere.
Eagles get rid of him, go nowhere.
Cowboys get rid of him, go nowhere.
We’ll see how the Bills do this year.
Addition by subtraction is a delusional idea, often practiced by owners who use the idea as a sales gimmick.
Building a winning NFL football team is a 3+ year process that involved building, not destructing. Getting rid of problem players is merely a prerequisite to the process of building a winning team, it’s not an effective move in and of itself.

July 19th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
We benched Russell, Fat Kidd. Gradkowski went in, got buried, wound up on the sideline in a sling. Our offensive line stinks, offensive playcalling and organization is high school potential, at best. An offensive game plan that puts the quarterback on an island. We benched Russell. We could have cut Russell before last season. We just would have wound up platooning a bunch of league journeymen, who would all eventually get injured with our line.

…………………..when j. russell got benched it opened some eyes and said this aint a bad looking team,but then gradkowski got hurt,then people said what if he didnt get hurt? with a average qb we could be something ,it got people thinking.

Chris Johnson Settles with Titans, Will Report to Camp
7/19/2010 4:35 PM ET By Dan Graziano
Chris Johnson isn’t getting the long-term deal he wanted, but he and the Tennessee Titans have agreed on a compromise deal that will get the star running back to training camp on time. According to NFL sources, the Titans will move up about $1.5 million of the $2.5 million in escalator bonuses Johnson is scheduled to get in 2012 as a result of his record-setting 2009 season and add it to his 2010 salary. He’ll now make about $2 million between the escalators and his scheduled base salary of $550,000.
Johnson, who rushed for more than 2,000 yards and set an NFL single-season record for yards gained from scrimmage in 2009, held out of the team’s offseason workout program as he made clear his desire for a new contract. The Titans told him they didn’t feel it was right to be renegotiating signed deals after only two years, no matter how brilliant the second of those years was.
Last week, though, the Titans floated this compromise concept, designed to allay Johnson’s concerns that his 2010 salary was too low for a player of his caliber while still sticking to their refusal to re-do deals after two years. According to the source, Johnson decided the compromise was good enough to get him to camp, though he continues to hold out hope that he and the team can negotiate a new contract.
According to the source, the length and value of Johnson’s current contract will not change under the compromise. The only change is that $1.5 million will be moved up from 2012 and paid instead in 2010. Of course, if Johnson does eventually get his new deal, the money he’s giving up in 2012 will be irrelevant, since that season would be incorporated into the new deal……………over……

Miami Dolphins defensive end Phillip Merling was charged Friday with felony battery against his pregnant girlfriend.
Merling was charged by the Broward State Attorney’s office. He was arrested on May 27 in Weston. He was released on $15,000 bail.
Merling, 25, could face 15 years in prison if convicted. He could also be punished by the NFL for violation of the league’s personal-conduct policy.
The woman involved in the incident is two months pregnant with the couple’s second child. According to the Sun-Sentinel, Merling is accused of hitting the woman in the face and head.
Merling, 6-foot-5, 305 pounds, had 33 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks off the bench for the Dolphins last season.
The Clemson product was drafted by Miami in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
Merling is the fourth member of the Dolphins roster to be arrested since February. Defensive lineman Tony McDaniel was arrested for domestic battery, while cornerback Will Allen and running back Ronnie Brown were both arrested on DUI charges……….over……

Maurkice Pouncey May Have Taken $100K Payment From Agent While at Florida
7/19/2010 1:15 PM ET By FanHouse Staff
The University of Florida and NCAA investigators have launched a probe to determine if former Gators center Maurkice Pouncey received money from an agent as his college career came to an end, according to ESPN.com.
Sources told ESPN that the allegations center around a $100,000 payment Pouncey allegedly received from a representative of an agent between the Southeastern Conference championship game and the Sugar Bowl. Pouncey was drafted in the first round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in April.
“We were made aware of some information in early June that we reported to law enforcement and we then shared with the NCAA and the SEC,” athletic director Jeremy Foley said in a statement released Monday. “At this time we have no information that has indicated that there are any compliance issues for the University of Florida.”………………over……

Seems like former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell has a humongous ego and refuses to lower his standards. Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times tweeted:
“According to a source close to former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, he has no intentions of playing in the UFL,” Aaron Wilson wrote on his Twitter page.
The former first overall pick either feels he’s too good for the UFL or is embarrased to go down to what I call, the minors, to prove himself to be an NFL quarterback

In an approach similar to previous football leagues, the UFL mostly adheres to standard NFL and football rules with a few differences of note:
No Tuck Rule – In the NFL, if a passer brings his arm forward in a passing motion and then loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body, it is considered a forward pass (and thus an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground). This “tuck rule” is one of the most controversial rules in the NFL; in the UFL, however, it is called a fumble.
Touchdown celebrations – Player celebrations (individual or group) are permitted only in the end zones or the bench areas.

I think the draft should last around 2 hours, probably a little more, which is fine with me, I’m sure some people will leave before it’s over but it should not be a big deal if someone misses the last 3 or 4 rounds because every decent player and sleeper will be taken, by then it’s just gambling on longshots so we should be fine … maybe setting the time an hour earlier would be better for some people, you can take a poll or ask around in the message board and then make a call.

According to league sources, Barnes could be a Raptor as early as Tuesday on a two-year deal worth about $9 million (all figures U.S.). The deal is not finalized but sources suggested both sides are confident it will be done. The move will have to be a sign-and-trade deal for the unrestricted free agent and will eat about $4.5 million of the $14.5 million trade exception the Raptors got when Chris Bosh left for Miami.
On Saturday, center Brad Miller turned down an offer from the Cavs to take a three-year, $15 million deal from the Houston Rockets.
The Cavs continue to have trade talks involving Delonte West, who has a partially guaranteed contract. League sources indicate the Cavs are beginning to get some traction with several teams in trade talks for West.
The Warriors have agreed to send point guard C.J. Watson to the Chicago Bulls for a 2011 second-round pick, multiple team sources told the Bay Area News Group on Tuesday.
The deal was not complete as of press time. Watson, a restricted free agent, signed a two-year, $7 million deal with the Warriors, who then traded him to the Bulls, a source said. Watson is expected to back up Bulls All-Star point guard Derrick Rose.
The Warriors now are in the market for a point guard behind starter Stephen Curry.
The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Keyon Dooling

Matt Barnes trade to Toronto is dead
By Kurt Helin
UPDATE 9:17 am: Matt Barnes is not going anywhere. Yet.
The deal announced by Barnes himself on Twitter is now dead, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo. The reason is a miscalculation by the teams on what could be spent. Nice. Somebody forgot to carry the one and look what happens.
It puts Barnes back at square one. He has offers — a bunch of contending teams want him but for limited minutes at a salary of less than $2 million a year. He wants more money and more minutes. So he keeps searching.

Jamaal Magloire will bang bodies around for the Heat
By Kurt Helin
“Jamaal Magloire has a role and that role is to beat the hell out of people.” A quote from Stan Van Gundy (via Orlando Pinstriped Post).
That is just fine with Miami. Which is why the Heat signed him to a one-year deal, according to Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. It’s a one-year, veteran’s minimum deal of $1.4 million.
The Heat now have Magloire, Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and rookie Dexter Pittman under contract at center. The hope is that one — or some combination of the group — can give the Heat some defensive presence inside and rebounding that will free up Chris Bosh to be a terror at the four.
Magloire is considered a very good guy in the locker room, as well.
However, there are question marks all around. Magloire barely saw the court last year, appearing in just 23 games behind Jermaine O’Neal (who left town) and Joel Anthony. And Anthony is undersized for a center, Ilgauskas is old and was not a key part of Cleveland this season, and Pittman is an untested rookie.
But if they can get solid center play out of the group, they just filled what most people think is their biggest weakness.

Even Brett Favre’s agent thinks Favre is a drama queen
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 19, 2010 3:26 PM ET
Sometimes at PFT we try (and usually fail) to add value to a given quote by trying to say something funny or informative before it. That’s not necessary this time.
We present Brett Favre’s agent Bus Cook, talking to Men’s Journal on the summer day Favre spoke to ESPN about his ankle surgery.
“Brett talked to goddamned Ed Werder at ESPN, says he needs ankle surgery. Now why did he do that?” Cook asked. “I’ve got [Brad] Childress calling. I’ve got reporters calling all damn morning. Goddammit, why does he have to be such a goddamned drama queen? Play, don’t play, goddamn, people are getting sick of it. I’m getting sick of it!
“Why does he have to talk to these people? What good does it do? Ed Werder at ESPN! What’s he ever done for anybody other than say, ‘Look, look, Mommy, I got this first, ain’t I special?’ You got problems with surgery, talk to your wife. Why talk to goddamned Ed Werder?”
It’s somehow heartening that the man perhaps closest to Favre feels just like the rest of us. (Well, except goddamned Ed Werder.)
Later Favre enters the office and offers a sheepish apology. Cook’s response: “Jesus, Brett. You never learn. You guys go talk. I’ve got goddamn phone calls to make,” before poking a finger at Favre. “Thanks to you.”
Never thought I’d say this, but I may have to pick up a copy of this month’s Men’s Journal.

Well, it is 8 am. I apologize about Barkely/Berkeley. But it’s still pretty typical of you to mock cancer in any way. Why would you want to separate sports from every day tragedy? The players aren’t human beings? They don’t face tragedy? That’s typical of sports homers like you, too. The players are nothing more than mules and slaves to you, to satisfy your ego. And, of course, being a Raider fan, they haven’t been delivering in recent years. I think that explains your cruel nature.

Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell enters not guilty plea in drug charge
MOBILE, Ala. — Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell entered a plea of not guilty this morning to a charge of possession of a controlled substance.
Russell, the former Williamson High and LSU star, was arrested on July 5 after investigators found one bottle of codeine syrup during a search of his River Forest Drive home by the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office’s undercover narcotics team. Investigators said Russell did not have a prescription for the opiate. A preliminary hearing was set for Aug. 11.
Russell, dressed sharply in a black suit emblazoned with his initials, nodded to reporters but did not respond to questions.
“We’re looking forward to the hearing on Aug. 11,” said Russell’s attorney, Donald Briskman. “I asked the court to set it early so we could get this behind us.”
As for Russell’s plans in the meantime, Briskman said he would be “getting prepared to play professional football.” The No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft was released from the Raiders in May after three disappointing seasons and had been hoping to catch on with another NFL team.

The media today acts as if he just evaded taxes and cheated on his wife, or something. They don’t talk about him. And they think that’s an appropriate punishment. He should be the poster boy for everything evil about sports. But instead, the media has let him slink away into obscurity…which is what HE WANTS. He was always reclusive. They’ve rewarded this man. They’re letting him go on with his life, his life after the limelight and scandals. They’ll never let Barry Bonds and Marion Jones do the same, even though they did nothing worse than what McGuire did.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sosa made some appearnces where he looked white and was wearing green contacts. After getting laughed at, he admitted to “mistakenly” applying some face-whitening cream.

He was supposed to be the starter in BMORe but lost his spot due to whatever sickness he had.
He would be a Great aq as he has a relationship with Hue Jack, and knows his system.

Brian Billick drafted Troy Smith. he wasn’t hand picked by Harbaugh, Cameron or Jackson … they probably kept him around because he was a cheap backup
this offseason, with Jim Zorn as QB Coach, they paid big bucks for Marc Bulger as #2 QB. John Beck was with Cam Cameron in Miami
Troy Smith = the writing is on the wall
July 20th, 2010 at 10:31 am
The article said Troy Smith OR Beck COULD be camp casualties. The reason one of them will be cut is because the Ravens signed Bulger to back up Flacco. One of those two guys is now expendable. Bulger was a proven starter for a long time in STL before a weak oline left him to battered to be a starter. Thats why he gets the nod to back up Flacco

The guy was drafted by OZZIE NEWSOME!
Ozzie is still in da building!
If TSMith was the talent some of you think he is, why bring in Marc Bulger?
Again, think of it in terms of Gradkowski. We certainly weren’t looking to bring in a guy like Bulger.
The QB coach fresh on the roster does not have the pull to make the QB roster decisions. If TSmith had HALF the potential you thought he did, he would be the clear cut backup.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:38 am

BTW,the reason T.Smith might be cut is he isn’t a very good pro QB.

The scenario is a bit different IMO with the lame duck, non OC Tom Cable in play. All things considered with what was going on with our QB situation and the coaching situation, can we really say who was in charge?
I don’t think that the HC and OC situation in BMore is anywhere near what we had in terms of chain of command.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:53 am

He was good enough to be the “projected starter” in BMORE until his sickness.
He has dropped on the “depth” chart becuase of regime change.
He has not had an ample opp to prove what he is acapable of.
Him sitting for 3 years is actually a positive, as he has had time to learn the pro game from a sit and learn vantage point.

I can be quoted as saying, He is one of 4 stand up guys from last years team…. I am Okay with Grads…

when Walter, Tui & Otis were pitched in favor of Garcia, Gradkowski & Frye Cable was just promoted from interim coach to HC of the Oakland Raiders.
Dakota is the only one who predicted his demise back then. yes – before jawgate
only MR would call a Raiders HC and/or play caller a “lame duck” the day they are hired!
July 20th, 2010 at 11:00 am
unless you are expecting a string of injuries i would not even consider signing troy smith
July 20th, 2010 at 11:02 am
Wasn’t Smith the “projected” starter because Flaco was a rookie and they didn’t think he was ready and Boiler was injured?

Anyway, when Hackett, Tollner and company where brought on board, I think ever you were saying that they would all lose there jobs including Cable b/c of Russell.
I don’t think ANYONE was convinced Cable would make it past last year.
Regardless, I know you can’t possibly be arguing that he was on as solid ground as Harbaugh and his OC?

The biggest disappointments from the class of 2007
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 20, 2010 1:40 PM ET
They say you can’t judge a draft class for at least three years.
So on a slow-moving Tuesday in July, let’s take a look back at the first round of the 2007 draft. This item about No. 9 overall pick Falcons defensive end Jamaal Anderson being on the bubble got us thinking. How many players in the first round have proven to be disappointments?
Here’s how we’d categorize 31 first-round picks from that class. We gave consideration to where the player was taken when evaluating the success of the pick.
(Note that the late Gaines Adams tragically passed away last year and we’ll keep him out of the discussion.)
Home run picks (6): Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Darrelle Revis, Jon Beason.
Great picks (4): Leon Hall, Michael Griffin, Brandon Meriweather, Anthony Spencer.
Good picks (7) :Lawrence Timmons, Aaron Ross, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meachem, Joe Staley, Ben Grubbs, Greg Olsen.
That’s the good news. 17 of 31 picks can be seen as net positives. Now for the rest . . .
Vaguely disappointing (5): Levi Brown, LaRon Landry, Amobi Okoye, Marshawn Lynch, Anthony Gonzalez.
Next stop b-word, but still with original team (5): Jamaal Anderson, Justin Harrell, Jarvis Moss, Reggie Nelson, Craig Davis.
Given away for scraps (3): Ted Ginn, Adam Carriker, Brady Quinn.
JaMarcus Russell deserves his own category (1): JaMarcus Russell.
It’s interesting to note that the top 11 includes four of the best players at their positions, but the last eleven picks had fewer misfires. Picks No. 23-29 included a string of seven straight solid players: Bowe, Meriweather, Beason, Spencer, Meachem, Staley, and Grubbs.
MDS also pointed out that the Jets’ trade down to Carolina was a classic case of a win-win for both sides.
Thanks for joining us in this exercise of random list-making.

I did think JaWalrus would cost Cable, Tollner & Hackett thier jobs! he almost did!
Cable has a good relationship with Al and the players love him. more importantly, they respect him (insert jokes here)
he was saddled with the biggest bust in NFL history. said we would have made the playoffs with Gradkowski or Frye! Al Davis gave him another go with less on his plate. thats a good thing for everybody. let the coaches coach. Cable doesn’t need to impersonate Davis by wearing 3 or 4 hats!

Very true RR.What many don’t realize is the reason Cable is a good fit for us right now is his ability to work with Davis instead of being someone who constantly butts heads with the old man.
Thec,has Jackson made any statements regarding Smith?

thats my point, unless I hear it from Hue Jack, nothing posted on this blog will resonate with me

just re-enrolled into nfl sunday ticket, now this yr. includes the HD and short-cuts extras w/o having to add the superfan package, so it saves an extra 50-60 bucks this yr., not bad. ready to go.
—————————
I just did the same. Living in Mass, I don’t know how I survived all the years previous to getting NFL ticket.

yeah i can’t be without it anymore either, plus this year the ticket went down about 6 bucks a months plus adding the HD without the superfan, its a score.

Lefty12, i could ask you the same question, Has Hue Jackson said anything regarding TSMITH????
July 20th, 2010 at 11:29 am
When he was an ass’t in Balt. did he make any comments regarding the greatness of Smith?Did he make any comments regarding him vs the other QBs?

Jamaal Magloire will bang bodies around for the Heat
By Kurt Helin
“Jamaal Magloire has a role and that role is to beat the hell out of people.” A quote from Stan Van Gundy (via Orlando Pinstriped Post).
That is just fine with Miami. Which is why the Heat signed him to a one-year deal, according to Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. It’s a one-year, veteran’s minimum deal of $1.4 million.
The Heat now have Magloire, Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and rookie Dexter Pittman under contract at center. The hope is that one — or some combination of the group — can give the Heat some defensive presence inside and rebounding that will free up Chris Bosh to be a terror at the four.
Magloire is considered a very good guy in the locker room, as well.
However, there are question marks all around. Magloire barely saw the court last year, appearing in just 23 games behind Jermaine O’Neal (who left town) and Joel Anthony. And Anthony is undersized for a center, Ilgauskas is old and was not a key part of Cleveland this season, and Pittman is an untested rookie.
But if they can get solid center play out of the group, they just filled what most people think is their biggest weakness.

“Bidenisms”
Arafat’s departure has created an awesome opportunity.
Joe Biden
But I was amazed at how organized the Palestinian election authority was, how competent they were in setting up their polling places and the poll workers they had.
Joe Biden
Here at home, when Americans were standing in long lines to give blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause again, and rekindle an American spirit of community.
Joe Biden
I support immediate financial assistance to the newly elected Palestinian president. Now, I don’t know what those numbers will be, and I don’t know how it’s going to be framed.
Joe Biden
It is my view that we cannot conduct foreign policy at the extremes.
Joe Biden
Just talk to me as a father – not what the Constitution says. What do you feel?
Joe Biden
Let’s just be smart this time. I’m looking for smart.
Joe Biden
Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.
Joe Biden
No matter how you cut it, this real debate on personal accounts is about the legitimacy of Social Security; it’s not about the solvency of Social Security.
Joe Biden
No one making less than $250,000 under Barack Obama’s plan will see one single penny of their tax raised, whether it’s their capital gains tax, their income tax, investment tax, any tax.
Joe Biden
Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’. The answer is yes, that’s what I’m telling you.
Joe Biden
The devastating punch we took on September 11th still reverberates throughout American society.
Joe Biden
The Middle East is hopeful. There’s hope there.
Joe Biden
This is absolutely bizarre that we continue to subsidize highways beyond the gasoline tax, airlines, and we don’t subsidize, we don’t want to subsidize a national rail system that has environmental impact.
Joe Biden
This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.
Joe Biden
Well, I’m telling them two things. One is that, look, this is going to be something when the American people realize – once it’s passed – that, A, it does take care of preexisting conditions; B, you’re insurance rates aren’t going to skyrocket; C, the insurance companies aren’t going to be running the show like they were before; D, you’re going to be in a position where you can keep your insurance that you have. That once the American public realizes that, you’re going to get a reward for this. They’re going to be rewarded.
Joe Biden
When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’
Joe Biden
You get a lawyer whether you’re in a military tribunal or whether you’re in a federal court, number one. The attorney general decided that the court with the biggest – with the greatest venue, with the best jurisdiction was the New York court. That was the right decision to make.
Joe Biden
You know we’re going to control the insurance companies.

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.
Joe Biden
[About US presidential candidate Barack Obama, January 2007. He later apologised for these remarks, saying: "I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Sen. Obama".]
In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.
Joe Biden
[In conversation with American-Indian political activist in 2006, he was later slammed for making insensitive and inappropriate remarks.]

So what McFadden goes down easily ???
Is he supposed to be a bruising back or a guy with the potential to break off big gains?
Get the guy in space or one on one with a LB or S and you’ll see everything you expect.

*********************************************
i still want to know why you think this guy is really fragile? one injury and hes fragile?
July 20th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Problem 1. our Oline
LT Henderson- not good last year
LG Gallery- can he stay healthy?
C Satele- get’s overpowered
and that’s the set part of our line
RG- Carlisle, Campbell
RT- Walker, Barnes, Veldheer
Problem 2. Our Lb’s ability to cover the pass
Wimbley, Mcclain, and Scott are built to stop the run and/or rush the qb, not to defend the pass
Problem 3. Our WR core
Our three top receivers are all unproven with less than 3 years experience
*why not give T.O. a shot? at worst he’s a helluva decoy
Problem 4. Our QB
Can he live up to his potential or is he a 4 win guy?
Very worried about problems 1 + 2, hopeful that our WRs and QB will surprise

LG Gallery- can he stay healthy?
C Satele- get’s overpowered
and that’s the set part of our line
RG- Carlisle, Campbell
RT- Walker, Barnes, Veldheer
***
LT: Henderson was asked to protect the blindside of a QB that didn’t know the offense, didn’t care, had horrible footwork, zero leadership skills, bad accuracy & timing. no pocket awareness. Mario looked much better with Gallery besides him and also much better with Bruce & Charlie at QB. Mario Henderson finally producing at LT on an island in his 4th season is far from a sure thing, but at least we’ll have Barnes & Veldheer to fall back on
LG: Gallery is back at 100 percent. we have very little depth at guard. I don’t want to see Pears, Barnes or Morris there. We haven’t seen Loper, Campbell, Smith, Parsons, etc.
C: Satele has another year of the zbs under his belt and won’t be challenged by Chris Morris this year. 16 game starter will have every opportunity to sink or swim. adding a stud fullback would help make up for some strength concerns. Cable thinks he’s “the guy” – remember that we traded for him and bypassed a center in this year & last years draft. I think he’ll be fine.
RG: Carlisle is a 5 year starter who can get his job done, but doesn’t dominate play after play. He’s not the best and he’s not the worst. Just an average guy that can hold his own if the guys around him handle thier business
RT: Walker is bigger and stronger that Cornell Green. he won’t allow as many sacks or commit as many penalties. plus he’ll be a road grader/mauler in the running game
Let’s not forget that an improved passing attack means less 8 man fronts and more opportunities to run the football. Jason Campbell will be tested early and often. nobody even wanted him for a 5th rounder in last year’s draft. he’ll need to get the ball out quickly and limit turnovers. Hue Jackson will provide a less predictable offensive gameplan and make sure our guys on O know thier assignments.
The O-Line has a lot to prove, but I have a feeling that they will surprise many.
Jim Michalczik & Chris Morgan will be more involved with this unit and Tom Cable will be an observer.

JaMarcus Russell Pleads Not Guilty to Drug Charge5
7/20/2010 12:08 PM ET By FanHouse Staff
Dressed in a black suit, former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell let his lawyer enter a not guilty plea to a felony narcotics charge on his behalf at a Mobile, Ala., courtroom on Tuesday.
The short court appearance came two weeks after undercover sheriff’s deputies raided the home of the former No. 1 overall pick’s house where they found a bottle of codeine syrup, a controlled substance. Several other people were reportedly at the house, but he was the only one arrested.
Russell, who didn’t talk to reporters on his way in and out of the courtroom, is scheduled to be back in court for a preliminary hearing on Aug. 1.
Russell’s attorney, Donald Briskman, told Mobile’s Press-Register that Russell is “getting prepared to play professional football.” Russell, 24, remains a free agent after the Raiders released him after three lackluster seasons.

The biggest disappointments from the class of 2007
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 20, 2010 1:40 PM ET
They say you can’t judge a draft class for at least three years.
So on a slow-moving Tuesday in July, let’s take a look back at the first round of the 2007 draft. This item about No. 9 overall pick Falcons defensive end Jamaal Anderson being on the bubble got us thinking. How many players in the first round have proven to be disappointments?
Here’s how we’d categorize 31 first-round picks from that class. We gave consideration to where the player was taken when evaluating the success of the pick.
(Note that the late Gaines Adams tragically passed away last year and we’ll keep him out of the discussion.)
Home run picks (6): Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Darrelle Revis, Jon Beason.
Great picks (4): Leon Hall, Michael Griffin, Brandon Meriweather, Anthony Spencer.
Good picks (7): Lawrence Timmons, Aaron Ross, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meachem, Joe Staley, Ben Grubbs, Greg Olsen.
That’s the good news. 17 of 31 picks can be seen as net positives. Now for the rest . . .
Vaguely disappointing (5): Levi Brown, LaRon Landry, Amobi Okoye, Marshawn Lynch, Anthony Gonzalez.
Next stop b-word, but still with original team (5): Jamaal Anderson, Justin Harrell, Jarvis Moss, Reggie Nelson, Craig Davis.
Given away for scraps (3): Ted Ginn, Adam Carriker, Brady Quinn.
JaMarcus Russell deserves his own category (1): JaMarcus Russell.
It’s interesting to note that the top 11 includes four of the best players at their positions, but the last eleven picks had fewer misfires. Picks No. 23-29 included a string of seven straight solid players: Bowe, Meriweather, Beason, Spencer, Meachem, Staley, and Grubbs.
MDS also pointed out that the Jets’ trade down to Carolina was a classic case of a win-win for both sides.

July 20th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
QB Sleeper: Jason Campbell, Raiders. It seems to me that people think Campbell is a worse player than he really is. Does he inspire massive amounts of confidence when the game is late and close? No. But he has a big arm and better accuracy than he gets credit for, and he’s a good leader. He’s a huge upgrade in a Raiders offense that does have weapons.
finally the raiders passing gets some love from espn

A 10-year-old cancer survivor’s dream came true when he recently took the field with his favorite team, the Oakland Raiders. ‘Good Morning America’ chronicles the story of Jailen Cooper, who’s finally riding high after going through intense surgery and chemotherapy after doctors discovered a tumor on his pituitary gland. Jailen learned about football from his grandfather, who passed down his love of the Raiders to his grandson.
“Jailen had one wish throughout his battle to survive and that’s to work out with his favorite football team,” explains GMA. Footage shows Jailen getting a phone call from Raiders coach Tom Cable, working out with the team and even tackling his favorite running back Darren McFadden

That guy has UFL written all over him.
And where is this theory that he was set to start and got sick come from? He didn’t even start the first two preseason game that year before he got sick. Once healthy he was active for 4 of the 16 games in 2009 and than the team eventually overpaid for Marc Bulger, with the sheer thought of Troy Smith as the backup made them nearly piss their pants.

A Massachusetts police officer resigned after leaving his beat to see a dwarf porn star called “Bridget the Midget” and lied about the visit during an investigation into the incident, local media reported Tuesday.
Officer Richard P. Bennett, 28, deserted his late-night patrol to visit a gentleman’s club where adult film star Bridget “The Midget” Powers — billed as “the world’s smallest porn star” — was performing last month.
Bennett was in uniform at the time of his visit to Club Alex’s in Stoughton and was reported to authorities by at least five other officers, said Stoughton Police Chief Paul Shastany.
He then reportedly lied about the visit during an internal investigation into the incident, the Patriot Ledger reported.
“Mama told me there would be days like this,” Shastany said, on confirming Bennett’s resignation. “We are not red-faced. In fact, I am pretty proud [other officers] stepped up.”
Bennett, who last month received a commendation for his work in a March murder case, resigned on June 30 rather than face disciplinary action, Shastany said.

hey vegas raider, dodgers up early 3-0 on timmy, kinda bittersweet 4 me cuz some sharps were telling me to put it all on the blue today. some crazy stats showed timmy not doing too well at chavez in the second half of the season and he’s never that good after a good start. should of hammered it.
July 20th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
3-1 now.
July 20th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
What was the line?
Probably some decent value for the Bums. A good home team, getting plus money is always a fair bet, being that home teams win over 50% of the games.
July 20th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
timmy and the giants were at +110 last time i checked at about noon and right before the game it went down to +102. dodgers started at -115, went up to -125 and finally landed at -112. still i didn’t want to touch it cuz of the dodgers recent struggles and now vs. the 2time cy young award winner.
July 20th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
dodgers burned me nicely on sunday blowing a 4-0 lead in the 8th and a 4-3 lead in the ninth twice with 2 outs and 2 strikes on hitters. still difuses me.

Two guys going in opposite directions right now. They both may end up at the same place when all is said and done, but I would certainly rather have Grads.

Have I missed something? Did we pick up Troy Smith? All this discussion would lead one to believe he’s on the roster and competing for the job. I would love to see us pick up TS. I think he’d end up as the #2 QB ahead of Grad. I know he’s connected to Hue Jackson and his coming here would make sense. Are we just what-if’ng or is something in the wind?

Troy Smith not coming to the Raiders (as of now);

Carl Crawford’s Injury on Fluke Play Is Man’s Worst Nightmare

Andrew Johnson
MLB Editor
BALTIMORE — Rays left fielder Carl Crawford was knocked out of Tuesday night’s 11-10 13-inning loss to the Orioles in the first inning when an errant pickoff throw to first base from Baltimore right-hander Jake Arrieta struck Crawford in an — ahem — sensitive area near the groin.
Tampa Bay called Crawford’s injury a “testicular contusion.” The outfielder was transported, via ambulance, to the University of Maryland Medical Center where a series of tests showed no serious damage…………….I wonder if that hurts?

Don Mattingly’s Gaffe Costs L.A. Dearly
7/21/2010 3:12 AM ET By Jeff Fletcher
Jeff Fletcher
Senior MLB Writer
Bruce Bochy helped the Giants win a game on Tuesday night, either by simply being alert or by exploiting a rule. Whatever your perspective, the events of the ninth inning of the Giants’ 7-5 victory over the Dodgers will prompt plenty of debate.
Dodgers hitting coach Don Mattingly was managing because Joe Torre and bench coach Bob Schaefer had been ejected. The Giants, trailing 5-4 entering the ninth, were rallying against closer Jonathan Broxton, with runners at second and third and one out. The Dodgers had just walked Aubrey Huff to load the bases, and then Mattingly came to the mound for a conference.
Mattingly then took a couple steps toward the dugout before he stopped and returned to the mound for another few words. That brought Bochy out of his dugout to protest that Mattingly had essentially made two trips to the mound. Umpires caucused and eventually agreed.
Rule 8.06 is actually quite clear:
A manager or coach is considered to have concluded his visit to the mound when he leaves the 18-foot circle surrounding the pitcher’s rubber.Mattingly, who was going back to answer first baseman James Loney’s question about how deep to play, said plate umpire Adrian Johnson tried to warn him.
“I kind of had a feeling [it was a second trip] because Adrian was yelling ‘No, no, no. You can’t go back,’ as I turned to talk to James,” he said. “It cost us a chance to win the game.”
Coincidentally, Bochy nailed former Dodgers’ manager Grady Little for the same infraction when Bochy was managing the Padres in 2006.
“It’s an easy mistake to make. I saw it once he went back to say a few more words,” Bochy said of the Mattingly incident.
The Dodgers had to pull Broxton. George Sherrill, who was recently put on outright waivers and cleared them, entered, and he gave up a two-run double to Andres Torres. Travis Schlichting entered and gave up an RBI hit to Buster Posey, for a Giants insurance run. The Giants went on to win a game that they had trailed 5-1 after five innings.
Not only was it the Dodgers’ sixth consecutive loss, but it was an unfortunate mishap for Mattingly, who has considered himself a manager-in-waiting.

I dont think Campbell will have better stats the Henne. That kid is a gamer and adding Brandon Marshall into the mix is going to do wonders for his career.
July 21st, 2010 at 7:01 am
Chad Henne had one of the best running games in the NFL last year with Ricky Williams & Ronnie Brown.
Jason Campbell had one of the worst running games in the NFL last year with 5 RB’s on I.R. and a lame duck Head Coach
Henne had 12 TD’s and 14 INT’s. QB Rating of 75. 2800 yards passing
JC is better in every category with a MUCH WORSE supporting cast
B-Marsh is a prima donna!
the Raiders WR corps with Heyward-Bey, Higgins, Murphy, Schilens & Ford will be better than you think
July 21st, 2010 at 7:02 am

Jerry’s chat said that the Raiders say it is an open competition. I believe it is obviously JC’s job to lose, so we will see.
He was benched twice in the last two years and replaced by Todd Collins, so not out of the question. I am not rooting against him, I just don’t think he is any good, and if he is not, I KNOW Bruce will be ready.

We had the 27th ranked defense and won 5 games.
Scary thought.

hue jackson is the OCO, if “HE” felt that grads gave us a better opportunity to win he would have stuck with grads. “IF” you thjink the QB comp is open, you have been in the sun too long.

Being that most non-biased outlets put us as one of the worst O-lines, I doubt it was much worse if even at all.
“Would have stuck with Grads”?? Training camp hasn’t even started yet, can we wait until the end of a few preseason games to declare our starting QB for the entire season.
And if Campbell looks good, I will tell you so and ride with him. Until than, I will stick with what ‘Skins fans say, and that is that he stinks, doesn’t win, didn’t see a 3rd and 12 swing-pass he didn’t love, and doesn’t put points on the board.

San Francisco- Mercedes Lindsay is going to represent United States of America in the upcoming Miss USA Pageant, that will be held in the coming spring. She is the girlfriend of Jason Campbell, the Washington Redskins quarterback. Really. There is nothing elusive about the whole issue, because Jason Campbell is not on of those athletes who keep their personal life so away from the eye of the public that there is nothing available on it other than speculation. Also, it gets rather difficult to keep ones romantic life away from prying eyes if both involved are celebrities.
The Washington Redskins quarterback, Jason Campbell, has been with his girlfriend, Mercedes Lindsay, since the winter of 2006. The two had met a couple of times in the downtown area of Washington D.C. Jason Campbell reminisces that in the beginning, she had refused to go out with him despite the fact that he had asked her repeatedly. However, at the end, she had gone out with him, on a date in which he had forgotten to bring his wallet and Mercedes Lindsay had to pay for everything. Then, he goes on to joke that she might well have been stalking him before they went out.
The three year long affair continues to this day, and is still going strong. Mercedes Lindsay is going to participate in the Miss USA pageant this year, an event organized by Donald Trump. The same pageant had also crowned the girlfriend of Jason Campbell, the quarterback of the Washington Redskins, Mercedes Lindsay, the winner of the Miss USA Columbia in the year 2007.

Moss was hurt, Cooley went out, Portis went out.
July 21st, 2010 at 7:21 am
Is she white RR ?
July 21st, 2010 at 7:22 am
Moss has made a Pro Bowl, and Randle El probably has more career catches than every WR on our roster combined.
Just saying.
July 21st, 2010 at 7:24 am
i am not down on grads as i beleive he was one of the 4 stand up guys we had last year.
I am not going to be down on Campbell, especially not having seen him in our offense…
July 21st, 2010 at 7:24 am
Randle El = garbage
Moss was hurt, they are the same kinda WR small & quick.
No possession receiver on the roster, no TE, no RB….just sayin he had nobody around him.
July 21st, 2010 at 7:24 am
Bruce Gradkowski had Chaz Schilens. Jason Campbell didn’t
July 21st, 2010 at 7:27 am

Brown: don’t forget that Zorn was stripped of play calling duties and replacing by a guy straight from the Bingo Hall (seriously) at midseason and Chris Samuels also injured. plus RB’s 2,3,4 = injured (Ladell Betts was 2nd string I think?)

We have made our point lets move on..
July 21st, 2010 at 7:29 am
Moss didn’t miss a game last year, and Cooley was there half the year.
The guy didn’t get it done, is a first-round bust, and was less wanted by NFL teams than Charlie Whitehurst, when considering trade compensation.
He could benefit from the change of scenery and make his mark in Oakland. I hope so, for him and the squad. But I think we will be looking for a QB next offseason as well.
July 21st, 2010 at 7:29 am
And if Campbell looks good, I will tell you so
——————————————————-
Hilarious …
July 21st, 2010 at 7:31 am
Last point, Moss didn’t miss one game last year, so not sure about the hurt point.
Cooley played 7 games. O-line sucked, RB’s were not very good, coaching stunk, defense was dominant.
The end.
Catch up to you guys later.

If Campbell falters, we draft a QB next year or try and trade for one. Like we did this past off season.

Only half year for Cooley, geez hardly nothing huh lol

We need to get 1-3 signed. Hope Mr. Davis gives away the farm, so other teams have to conform….
July 21st, 2010 at 7:37 am
The QB is not going to be the reason this team wins or loses this year. It’s without question the Oline. If the Oline allows Bush to get off, and can protect the QB our offense is good enough to score 20 pts.
If the Oline doesn’t do it’s job Gradkowski will not be better than Campbell.
July 21st, 2010 at 7:38 am
We wont draft a QB next year. We have no first round pick remember. If Campbell cant be successful here then we are screwed for another few years…

As the NCAA continues its suddenly comprehensive attempt to clean up a mess that has been languishing on the carpet for years, one former NFL coach turned Alabama coach, who famously said he wouldn’t be the Alabama coach, is coming close to calling for college football programs to freeze out the NFL, if the pro game can’t keep agents from paying players.
“What the NFL Players Association and the NFL need to do is if any agent breaks a rule and causes ineligibility for a player, they should suspend his [agent's] license for a year or two,” Nick Saban told ESPN.com, via CFT. “I’m about ready for college football to say, ‘Let’s just throw the NFL out. Don’t let them evaluate players. Don’t let them talk to players. Let them do it at the combine.’ If they are not going to help us, why should we help them?”
Saban is upset because the Tide could be the latest program to possibly get rolled by the NCAA. Alabama currently is looking into whether defensive end Marcel Dareus blew his eligibility by “taking his talents to South Beach” earlier this summer for a party hosted by an agent.
Saban has picked a valid target, but the aim is wrong. If an agent pays a player, he’s already subject to punishment. The problem is that, previously, neither the NCAA nor the NFLPA did anything to enforce the rules. With the Reggie Bush case prompting an epiphany for the NCAA, the next logical step will be for the union to stand up and take action against agents who pay players before their eligibility ends.
Of course, full and complete and consistent enforcement of that rule could mean that not many agents would be left.
“Right now, agents are screwing it up,” Saban said. “They are taking the eligibility of players. It’s not right that those players do the wrong thing. We have a great education process here. We have a full-time worker who meets with players and their families and does everything else.”
Saban’s threat should get the league’s attention. Pro football teams, as Saban knows, tiptoe on eggshells to cater to college coaches, given that NCAA football provides a free farm system for the NFL. If more coaches begin to call for the NFL to be cut off, the league’s scouting efforts will suffer.
And so the league needs to lean on the union to police the agents. As if the league and the union didn’t already have enough issues between them.
July 21st, 2010 at 7:52 am
I suspect that wont be the case though.

I agree because a team that wins 11 games doesn’t draft QBs in the 2nd rd.

Raiders spurn LA fans, cancel signing at Universal City Walk
Every year since the Raider Image opened at the Universal City Walk, they have had an autograph signing for the fans in Southern California. And for the first time, it was canceled.
Normally the signing happens the first week of June which is the anniversary of the opening of the City Walk Raider Image. This year’s even was supposed to be extra special as they were celebrating their 10th anniversary. Initially the event was pushed back to July 26th. The news that went with the postponing of the signing was good because instead of a simple autograph signing, it was going to be an all-day event with several more festivities added to the celebration.
The Raiders still have a large fan base in Los Angeles after winning a Super Bowl as the LA Raiders in 1984 and spending 13 years there from 1982 to 1995. The signing event at this Raider Image is one of the few that are held annually in the area. And this year’s event had a great number of those fans extremely excited about what the Raiders had in store.
But in the end, instead of an extra special day, it turns out it won’t be happening at all.
I contacted the Raider Image about the event and they were unable to offer any information as to what was planned or why it was canceled. In fact, they seemed especially unwilling to give out any information that I didn’t already have.
There could very well be a good reason for the cancellation for all the fans know. And they deserve an apology at very least. Rather than simply being left high and dry, without an appearance by their favorite players, a rescheduling or an explanation.
Guests for the signing in recent years have included stars like Michael Huff and Thomas Howard along with appearances by Raider Legends Jim Otto and Greg Townsend.
Raider fans are optimistic and excited about the upcoming season more than they have been in many years so there no doubt would have been a tremendous turn-out. But instead, Raider fans in the Los Angeles area are given the shaft without such as an apology.
Fans want to see this exciting and potentially great team. Now is the time to get these Raiders in front of the fans, signing autographs and reaching out. That is how you create new generations of fans. Not alienating them. Yet another giant missed opportunity.

I agree because a team that wins 11 games doesn’t draft QBs in the 2nd rd.

except Philly (Kevin Kolb)
July 21st, 2010 at 8:17 am
VY was 8-2 as a starter last year… hardly terrible
July 21st, 2010 at 8:19 am
Kevin Kolb was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round (36th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft. He was the third quarterback taken in the draft behind JaMarcus Russell (1st overall) and Brady Quinn (22nd overall).
Last year Kolb became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than 300 yards in each of his first two career starts. Kolb was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his efforts against the Chiefs.
Kolb expressed his desire to be the starting quarterback for the Eagles during the 2010 offseason: “Obviously my goal is to be the starter and to start for 16 games and to lead this team as far as we can go. Personally, I don’t have a lot of personal goals right now, they’re more team-oriented, besides me getting on the field and proving I can take over this thing.” On March 26, Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles expect Kolb to be the starting quarterback for the 2010 season. On April 4, McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins, making Kolb the starting quarterback. Kolb signed a one-year contract extension worth $12.25 million on April 29, keeping him under contract with the Eagles through the 2011 season.
Kolb married his wife Whitney Huddleston in February 2007; they reside in Woolwich Township, New Jersey, just outside of suburban Philadelphia. Whitney gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Kamryn June, on January 10, 2009. Their second child, a daughter named Atley Rose, was born in April 2010.
Kolb majored in business entrepreneurship at the University of Houston.
Kolb is an avid hunter; he hunts wild hogs with a couple of dogs and a 12-inch Bowie knife. He asserts that controlling the hog population is an essential part of protecting his hometown’s crops. “One hog can ruin an entire field of crops in just one night. They dig up and eat the roots. They need to be controlled,” says Kolb.

You don’t condone single guys setting up dates via craig’s list?
July 21st, 2010 at 8:38 am
The Toronto Raptors thought they were close to acquiring Matt Barnes via sign-and-trade, but apparently somebody didn’t do their homework, causing the deal to go through. With no cap space left to sign Barnes, no Bird rights (or even early Bird rights), and the inability to use salary cap exceptions to sign him and subsequently trade him, the Magic are a pretty improbable sign-and-trade partner.
With Toronto stalled, a few more teams will have a chance to lure away Barnes, despite the fact that he doesn’t seem to mind playing for the Raptors next season. According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, though the Raptors remain interested and are exploring more ways to acquire Barnes, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and Miami Heat will all be continuing their negotiations with the swingman.

Taylor was arrested on May 6, 2010 for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old girl inside a Montebello, New York Holiday Inn Hotel. He has been charged with third-degree statutory rape which is a felony, for allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse with someone under 17 while being over 21. Taylor has also been charged with third-degree patronization for allegedly paying the underage victim $300 to have sex with him. His bail was set at $75,000. His lawyer Arthur Aidala has stated “My client did not have sex with anybody. Period…Lawrence Taylor did not rape anybody.” Taylor is facing up to five years in prison and life time sex offender registration if convicted of both crimes. On June 23, 2010, Taylor was indicted of these charges. He plead not guilty on July 13, 2010

I agree lefty… dont condone what Taylor did, but he wasnt “luring” anyone anywhere. She was there of her own accord under the illusion that she WAS 18. She certainly did not tell LT she was 16 prior to engaging him. Whether or not any sex occured will be decided by the courts, but lets not paint this young prostitute as the victim here. She may be a victim of circumstance regarding whatever caused to enter the life of a hooker, but not a victim of LT.
