Bush arrested for driving while intoxicated
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, February 12th, 2011 at 9:22 am in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders running back Michael Bush was arrested for driving while intoxicated, according to WLKY in Louisville.
Bush was arrested at 4:30 a.m. in Jeffersonville, Ind., and booked into the Clark County Jail.
(Note: WHAS-11 in Louisville is reporting the arrest took place in Clarksville, Ind.)
Raiders senior executive John Herrera declined comment.
He is a potential unrestricted free agent, pending a resolution of the collective bargaining agreement.
That means it could be an expensive mistake for the fifth-year running back, given that he’ll likely begin a new contract with the possibility of a suspension for another transgression with regard to the NFL policy for substances of abuse (abuse of prescription drugs, over-the-counter-drugs and alcohol) pending the outcome of the arrest.
Bush rushed for 655 yards on 155 carries and scored eight touchdowns, playing as the second back in a two-back system behind starter Darren McFadden. Bush had his two best games of the season when McFadden was out with an injury, rushing for 104 yards on 26 carries in a 35-27 win over San Diego and 135 yards on 27 carries in a season-ending 31-10 win over San Diego.
Both owner Al Davis and head coach Hue Jackson have talked up Bush since the season ended, an indication the Raiders had every intention of keeping him on the roster.
“He brings that toughness into the secondary,” Davis said on Jan. 18. “By the fourth quarter, they don’t want to tackle him. He’s 250 pounds, (with) power, speed, so that’s a plus for us.”

Who cares
February 12th, 2011 at 9:34 am
We definitely need Bush back next year
February 12th, 2011 at 9:39 am
So good chance he gets suspended one game, for the personal conduct code thing.
February 12th, 2011 at 9:53 am
wow he is an idiot.

I’m sure Demaurice Smith is non too pleased with this news.
They are trying to win public perception over in the labor dispute, and players getting arrested doesn’t help perception any.
February 12th, 2011 at 10:02 am
Sounds like the Raiders just got a big discount.
February 12th, 2011 at 10:02 am
Its gonna be a 4 game suspension JFB, its a substance abuse policy violation, not a personal conduct violation. He will also be enrolled in the substance abuse program with the possibility of a year suspension for the next violation.
February 12th, 2011 at 10:03 am
Do all DUI’s get a 4 gamer??
I thought the first-time offenses were subject to different disciplines.
If it is a 4 game suspension, tell him to kick rocks.
February 12th, 2011 at 10:08 am
Hmmm, I thought it was a 4 game minimum for substance abuse violations.
February 12th, 2011 at 10:13 am
The guy blew it. It’s easy to demonize him for such a dumb thing, but he just cost himself a lot of leverage and thankfully no one got hurt. It’s not like he killed dogs or anything… Still, what a knucklehead.
February 12th, 2011 at 10:16 am
Too bad it wasn’t that useless fk Condo…
February 12th, 2011 at 10:17 am
I don’t get it with these athletes/celebrities. They make great cash. The first person that should be hired is a driver or have a contract with a limo service. At their salary level there is no excuse or reason to be driving anywhere at 4:30 am. Or, for that matter, why drive at all.

You don’t get a 4 game suspension for getting arrested for driving drunk. You get a 4 game suspension for a repeated violation.
February 12th, 2011 at 10:27 am
If my memory is correct, I believe Tommy Kelly got a DUI and was not suspended by the NFL as it was his first offence.

Until DMAC can prove he can go a full season…better hope that Bush comes back one way or another.
the idea of see Cartwright tote the rock for 4 or 5 games is not appealing at all
February 12th, 2011 at 11:02 am
We don’t want/need DMAC to prove he can go a full season.
Most NFL RBs don’t go a full season. If they do, it’s probably not good for their long-term health/longevity.
Most starting NFL RBs average 14 starts a season. McFadden had 13 this year. He’s fine as far as durability if he keeps his annual starts at this 13-14 game range.
We often think our players should do more than what is actually normal across the NFL.

February 12th, 2011 at 11:07 am
SnB,
it would be quite easy to grab someone better than Cartwright as a backup RB in the 4th or 5th round.
Free agency will also have plenty of average RBs that could be plugged in as backups. The RB position is possibly the easiest to land quality talent in.
February 12th, 2011 at 11:21 am
I always hear from Raider fans that “it would be quite easy to grab someone”
Yet it takes this freekn team generations to fill positions of need.
QB, WR, OL, DT, Safety, 2nd Corner, OLB
Generations to get it right. And we are talking about starters….forget depth.
I don’t hold the same level of optimism that the Raiders can simply “find” these players.

===========================================
Any savings they can get resigning Bush for less might mean one less player lost from the many other FAs this year . Is it unethical to celebrate good fortune caused by something as shamefully irresponsible as a DUI arrest? It’s what a pirate would do, I suppose . . .
February 12th, 2011 at 11:27 am
Driving Drunk is not a violation of the substance abuse policy, but it does put you in the “program” for more frequent testing and what not.
Bush was a 4th round pick, I think a 4th or 5th round pick could replace him without that much of a dropoff, and would be way cheaper.
February 12th, 2011 at 11:32 am
So Danny Southwick is the new DC?
February 12th, 2011 at 11:33 am
Is he making enough money considering the uncertainty of longevity in the NFL that he can afford a personal driver? It’s a DUI give him a break
February 12th, 2011 at 11:35 am
Bush does not play any special teams and had a handful of games with 3 carries or less last year.
Losing him would not be THAT drastic.
February 12th, 2011 at 11:35 am
Haven’t found a strong safety in 10 years….a QB in 10 years….a decent WLB in 10 years….O-Line in 10 years…and a starting wide receiver in 10 years…(Moss doesn’t count)
And you guys just think its easy for the Raiders to find any talent.
If the Raiders find a competent player…they have to keep that play with all reasonable effort.
February 12th, 2011 at 11:36 am
The main question is, why is Bush, NFL RB, in his hometown driving drunk alone at 4:30am??
Couldn’t he score some tail and a cab ride at the bar?
February 12th, 2011 at 11:37 am
As for DMAC…seems like he missed more than 2 games last year…and was playing with hamstring problems that slowed down his carries.
DMAC is not durable enough to just rely on him alone. One year does not make a trend and he ended that year on the sidelines.
Y’all better keep Bush…the Raiders are TERRIBLE at finding replacements
February 12th, 2011 at 11:37 am
Dude you have to be kidding, right?
Bush is not, nor has he ever PLAYED like a random 5th rd draft choice. Most 5th round draft choices are out of the NFL in yr 2 or 3. BUSH will be in HEAVY HEAVY demand (regardless of this DUI) this offseason. Don’t delude yourself. He is -NOT- easily replaceable. It will be a -BIG- loss if we dont resign Bush. Not only as insurance against a McFadden injury but also as a HUGELY important change of pace back in the latter part of the game. He is also superb near the goal line and arguably has better hands than DMac on screens, short outlet routes, etc.
Easily replaceable in the 5th round?
Seriously ? Wow…

February 12th, 2011 at 11:41 am
Reece could probably do most of what Bush does. Of course that would mean Condo has to play fullback.
February 12th, 2011 at 11:43 am
Hey Bo…
Did Condo do something personally to mess with you or what?
Say what u want but take a look at SD in 2010. Methinx a ‘few bad snaps and blocks’ on special teams may have cost them a playoff berth this past season.
Cut the guy some slack, jack!
February 12th, 2011 at 11:47 am
2) OG/OT Benjamin Ijalana (Villanova), DT/NT Phil Taylor (Baylor), CB Jimmy Smith (Colorado), or CB Curtis Brown (Texas)
3) C Jake Kirkpatrick (TCU), OLB Casey Matthews (Oregon), OLB Greg Jones (Michigan State), or OT Marcus Gilbert (Florida)
4) DT/NT Ian Williams (Notre Dame) or OG/OT Will Rackley (Lehigh),
5) CB Davon House (New Mexico State), C/OG Brandon Fusco (Slippery Rock), or OG/OT Darrius Morris (Temple)
6) DE/DT Cedrick Thornton (Southern Arkansas)
7) WR Ricardo Lockette (Ford Valley State) or RB Robert Hughes (Notre Dame)
—
Then attempt to bring Miller, Asomugha, Seymour, Wimbley, Huff, Routt, Bush, Reece, Condo and Cartwright all back into the fold.
If Huff walks, sign Jarrad Page to compete with Stevie Brown.
If Bush walks, sign Le’Ron McClain or bring in a rookie.
If Asomugha walks, sign(/trade for?) Jonathan Joseph and/or find a CB via the draft.
If Routt walks, sign Richard Marshall, Eric Wright, or find a CB via the draft.

YoungAmerican,
That’s a lot of free agents to sign? Take time for a team to mesh well together too.
Sounds like another 5-11 campaign to me
February 12th, 2011 at 11:50 am
I think you fight like hell to keep the players you already have instead of CONSTANTLY having to go to the free agent well or trade draft picks

————
26 total. 2nd most free agents in the league.
Maybe the uncertainty of not having a CBA in place will help. Maybe not.
Regardless, the Raiders have a lot of work to do this offseason. Even if they have another good draft, they’ll have a lot more holes to fill if they don’t get key players re-signed.
A few can walk and the Raiders will survive. But, for instance, if both Huff and Asomugha walk? That’s going to be a lot to overcome.
They can survive Bush walking with a solid mid-round pick or a key free agent signing, but if DMac goes down again can a new guy carry the team like Bush managed to?
Gallery is as good as gone, and might not be a fit for Hue’s scheme even if he stayed (not really sure how much the blocking schemes are going to change from last season), so a lot is going to depend on getting new blood in the offensive line. But how long will it take them to mesh, especially if training camp is abbreviated because of labor uncertainty? And then there’s the distinct possibility that the new guys don’t play as well as Gallery or Satele or Carlisle or whomever.
You’re right, SnB, a lot of question marks. We’ll have to wait and see.
February 12th, 2011 at 11:59 am
We won a few games last year when Bush did nothing really. 12 carries for 24 yards against Denver. 0 carries against STL. 5 for 17 in the first game against KC.
Same with the year before.
Not saying he isn’t good, but we have not had any problems finding backup RB’s over the years.
BTW, Bush’s YPC last year is the same as Justin Fargas for his career.

I despise the fact that one of our active 53 CAN’T EVEN PLAY A REAL POSITION! An actual lineman should be able to do the job just fine. Or Myers. Or Sam Williams. And please don’t tell me he is a LB too. He has never played LB for us, even in preseason.
I miss Adam Treu. Anyone remember him blowing ST snaps? I thought not.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:03 pm

February 12th, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Bo, AT, and JC are very good LS’s. But roster space is limited, so I say Travis Geothel needs to learn how to long snap, or he is out. He “looked” ok in “per-season” but he is not a NFL starter, nor a great back up. If he wants to stick on the 53 ST, LS, and bu MLB is the ticket.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:08 pm
Jon Condo is a festering carbuncle on the ass of Raider Nation. An embarassing evolutionary oddity, and more than any other single example a reflection of our need for a competent GM in Oakhole.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
The General Manager should have worked harder to lock up some of these players. The team is exposed with all of these players open….and some of them may want to try something new because of all the dysfunction over the years.
The General Manager has a lot of work to do to make sure this team doesn’t backslide
February 12th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
Last years top 3 leading rushers:
Foster (undrafted)
Jamaal Charles (3rd round)
Michael Turner (5th round)
You also got guys like Ahmad Bradshaw (7th round), Peyton Hillis (7th round), Blount (undrafted), Fred Jackson (undrafted) and this years postseason leading rusher Starks (undrafted).
If we can’t replace Mike Bush without much dropoff in a year or two with a 4th or 5th rounder, than our entire scouting department should be fired.
Just about every other team is doing it.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:12 pm

Of the top 31 rushers in the leauge last year, almost half (14) by my count were 4th round picks or later including 6 that were undrafted.

February 12th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
lot of late round finds yes but DMAC C Johnson A Peterson and the list goes on for early round talented RB’s. Keepin our own, frugal FA decisions, a solid draft, and continuity in terms of coaching is what made us successful last year. Let’s try to build on that
February 12th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Let Mike Bush go…and he’s easily replaced by a 5th-round pick?
Wha?? Now I know the mountain air has been getting to JFB.
Maybe every now and then a 5th-rounder comes in and does what Bush is doing now…but finding a gem there is even harder than finding one in the early rounds. And…there’s no way you count on being able to replace ANY decent starter/near-starter by somebody coming out.
You can roll the dice, yes…but don’t COUNT on the draft pick to be ready to go. Ever. How many rookies have we seen come in, and be ready to play instantly? It’s certainly not a preferred way to go into a season…starting unproven rookies. And we’ve had to do that too often lately.
Not only do we not want to lose MBush29…we need ANOTHER starter-quality RB to be added to the corps — and for that, I have no problem looking for one in the draft.
Let Marcel Reese do what Marcel Reese do…trying to run him like MBush will get him hurt, too. This Raiders team needs to keep plugging-in their players at the right spots at the right times.
The only way DMC stays anywhere near healthy is by having a MBush there to share that load…and he actually should be carrying more of it.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:28 pm
We’re the Raiders. Our players drink, they always have. Sure, drinking and driving is bad, but he’s made a mistake. Kenny Stabler drank and drove all the time, I’m sure even Jim Plunkett did. A lot of Raiders did. The Raiders party, that’s just the way the team has always been. …Oh, wait, Bush is black, isn’t he? THUG! THUG! CUT HIM!!! HE’S A THUG!!! I’M SO SICK OF THESE GREEDY SELFISH THUG ATHLETES!!! ARRRRRGGGG!!!!!

February 12th, 2011 at 12:35 pm
If Bush were white, Hayez, this wouldn’t even be an issue with fans. There wouldn’t be one cry to cut him. If he were white, there would be a ‘boys will be boys’ approach to his behavior by the fans. Who doesn’t drink? We’ve drank and drove before, et al. But because he’s black, he’s a thug, he’s expendable, get him out of here. You know it’s true.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
Bush will only be suspended 4 games if he is already in the NFL’s substance abuse program. If this is a first offense then he will just be fined.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
I’ve read every comment on here and on the PFT report.
Not one person has called him a thug, and nobody is saying cut him.
He is a FA, and just not sure you open your pocket-book up for a backup RB with so many other holes on the team.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Tommy Kelly didn’t get suspended.

Fact is…there likely are/were just as many pro-MBush fans now as there were yesterday.
But keep stirrin’ it, MR…we all know you can’t survive a day without a little hatred stirred into it. Knock yerself out.

February 12th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
I don’t think anyone here thinks his DUI is a big deal from a football standpoint. Race is certainly not an issue.
The discussion is more centered around free agent priorities

Bush had too many easy TDs this year thanks to McFadden taking the team to the goal line. Time to take that away from him as punishment.

February 12th, 2011 at 12:54 pm
The official NFL policy on DUI is that first time offenders can be fined up to $50,000, with suspensions coming only upon a second offense. This is because that first arrest is subject to the NFL’s substance abuse policy, and not its personal conduct policy.

HayezDaze, you’re irrational and just chasing your tail now. Stop it. I’m talking about something that everyone knows is true. Sure, it’s not comforting, like your idea that racism doesn’t exist in the world and the Raiders are the best team in football. But it’s true. I’m just shedding some light on it. You’re getting all bent out of shape because you want to control the conversation here. I’m sorry nobody’s respecting your wishes and people are discussing the more important topic of race, anyway. That’s a problem between you and them. Don’t blame me.

I can’t believe that any of you would write off Bush so quickly! He is a beast. He is definitely needed, and would be a total loss is he was signed to another team. Think about what Green Bay would be able to do with a running back like Bush.

If another team is willing to pay Bush like a starter, the Raiders should have other priorities. Yes, the Raiders should try to retain him. But he’ll have to be willing to A) not be the #1 guy and B) not make the money a #1 guy makes.
If signing Bush means losing Huff and Asomugha? Those guys are going to be much harder to replace than a change-of-pace back, even if he is the best change of pace back in the league.

Michael Bush is a good running back. THe Raiders need to center the entire offense on running the doggone football.
Our “developing?!?” receivers are not going to be anything more than a group that can get maybe 1 good catch every game or two….
Run the doggone football…keep smashing DMAC and then smash Bush….and keep doing that.
Jason Campbell is the QB! DHB is the #1 receiver

The only reason we got Bush in the 4th is because he broke his leg in his senior year and they knew he might miss his rookie campaign. To think you could get a player of that calibre in the 4th is down right ignorant. We caught lightning in a bottle don’t bet on it happening again.

The reason the Raiders always have one of the highest total salaries in the league (#2 last year I believe) is because we way overspend for our specialists and backups.
Highest paid Kicker, Punter and LS in the league. We paid almost 3 million for Bruce last year, and CJ 37 (our nickle corner) made close to 4 million. TK was the highest paid DT there for awhile, Nnamdi and that ridiculous contract to do nothing half the game, and Gallery was making #2 overall money.
If we anti up for Bush, we can than add one of the highest paid backup RB to the mix.

Uh, no thanks.
Melo is a top 5 player in the world. Quite frankly, he’s MUCH better than Gasoft!
I’d trade Bynum or Gasoft for Melo today.
There aren’t any Cs in the league that would have me worried about being a “small” team.
Gasoft or Bynum, Odom, Ratliff, Caracter, and Joe Smith are plenty of big bodies for today’s NBA.
Shaq, Jermaine O’Neal, and Yao will all be out of the league next year.
Kendrick Perkins and Dwight Howard will be the only “Centers” in the league.

here’s to hoping the Indiana troopers/deputies/officers had a screwed up breathalizer and it was all just a mistake;
if he did drink and drive – Goodell could apply either the personal, Bush emabaraased the league so you can count on at least a one game suspension; or substance abuse policy; possibly even both.

Pretty sure the NFL has a program in place where any player can call a toll free number and a limo or luxury vehicle is dispatched to pick him up and take him anywhere he wants to go. Players are urged to use the service to avoid any possibility of a DUI.
The service is completely free of charge. The driver isn’t even allowed to accept a tip.
With such programs in place, it’s no wonder the league comes down hard on offenders.
It’s idiotic and inexcusable for these guys to ever drive while intoxicated.

February 13th, 2011 at 7:25 am
I don’t buy that THE ONLY REASON Bush fell to the 4th was because of a broken leg.
Bush broke his leg in October of his senior year, McGahee blew out his knee in January his draft year, and went almost 100 picks earlier than Bush did.
Bush MAY HAVE squeeked into the 1st round, but more than likely he was a 2nd or early 3rd grade who slipped a round or so for his injury.
February 13th, 2011 at 8:24 am
here you go jfb,
2007 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Michael Bush, RB, Louisville
Bush is obviously a major wild card of the 2007 NFL Draft, as he missed basically the entire season with a broken leg, which he suffered in Louisville’s first game. The injury derailed what could have been a 2006 campaign that featured a run for the Heisman Trophy. After all, Bush was coming off a junior season that saw him run for 1143 yards and 23 touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Bush is a monstrosity of a running back, and scouts could still have time to fall in love with him if he is ready to perform well at the NFL combine. If he isn’t, then Bush will be a huge risk and could slip into the late-second round or even the third. The fact that Bush has never even pretended to able to block anyone will also hurt his stock. Still, his phenomenal size (to go along with solid breakaway speed and outstanding vision) should make Bush worthy of an early-to-mid second round selection.
still not buying his worth??
February 13th, 2011 at 8:33 am
still not buying his worth??
***************************
I was just disputing that he was a sure-fire 1st rounder before the injury.
The fact that the article you cite was post-injury, and says he would be a early to mid 2nd shows just how accurate they are.
Again, McGahee was hurt WORSE than Bush and didn’t cause him to slide very much. If Bush was a legit top 10 choice prior injury (like Willis was), than he would have been drafted around where Willis was.
That’s all I’m saying.
February 13th, 2011 at 8:40 am
Bush was a steal in the fourth round. I had my doubts about McFadden putting up the numbers he did last year. I always thought Bush should be the starter. McFadden proved that I wrong, maybe? Bush is a beast, and the way he runs through and over people is impressive, but he has speed too. Give him 20-25 carries a game and he’ll get his 100 yards. He has great hands and runs great patterns out of the backfield. I sure as hell would hate to see him playing against the Raiders twice a year for KC or Denver and especially for SD. I think resigning him should be a priority. Do you want to bet the whole season on DMac staying healthy?
February 13th, 2011 at 8:46 am
The NFL’s leading rusher was undrafted and made under 400K last year.
And the Raiders are going to pay over $3 million a year (what Bush’s FA value will probably be) for a guy they will look to give MAYBE 10 touches a game (what he average last year)??
It’s decisions like that which is why we are always in the top 3 in the league in overall salary, all the while missing the playoffs going on close to 10 years in a row.
Better personnel decisions = better team on Sundays
February 13th, 2011 at 9:17 am
i think bush had been in cables dog house his whole time here.. cable wanted to change him to full back and when bush refused–dog house..now that cable is gone m bush will get his ten ro fifteen carries a game easy.. some one said his ypc average was low,, they did not take into account he was being used as a short yardage specialist.. mr davis is right (again) when he said late in the game d-backs don’t want to tackle him..bush is a must re-sign
February 13th, 2011 at 9:19 am
JFB,
The NFL’s leading rusher only costing his team 400k per year is as big a fluke as the Raiders getting Mike Bush in the fourth round. If it were that easy to find a good one the top backs wouldn’t be getting the money they do.
Reining in excessive spending on players is admirable, and I agree with you that there are some players on the team whose contracts don’t make a lot of sense. We need help in too many areas to spend a draft pick on some guy that MIGHT be the back that Bush is, and nobody worth a damn is going to come here on the cheap to back up DMac.
We have a great situation at running back, one that a lot of teams would love to have. Being responsible with the payroll is smart, but letting Bush go to save money, especially with our stated committment to run the ball, makes no sense at all.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:23 am
the more i look back on cables regime and the decisions he made make me put him at or near the bottom of raiders coaches.. he was way over his head as a head coach, and i have to question his ability as a d-line guru too..
February 13th, 2011 at 9:29 am
Bush brings great value as a backup on a 4th round salary.
But he becomes an expensive backup at what will be his FA market price this year.
I posted yesterday that almost half of the league’s top 30 rushers last year were 4th round picks or later. It really shouldn’t be that hard to get a guy at Bush’s play level in the 4th or 5th round, there are guys all around the league that are.
Besides we are entering Darren’s peak years here, where he should dominate for the next 3-4 years and be the focus of our offense.
Backups should be at backup salaries, and when they are not, it pulls away the ability to sign players at other positions.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:33 am
and i have to question his ability as a d-line guru too..
****************************
Did you not see our O-line the year before he got here (the Art Shell year)??
The O-line got better each year, and has been a top-tier run-blocking line his entire time here.
I calculated the Raiders as having the #4 most rushing yards in all of the league during Cable’s tenure. And that is with Bush, McFadden, Fargas and Jordan all splitting carries over the time.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:35 am
Re 169: I agree. Keep Bush. He seems like a team player and accepted his role McFadden’s back up. He should be getting more rush attempts late in the game. McFadden should be getting more touches on pass plays: screens, in the slot or split wide. I did not see enough of McFadden and Bush in the game together.
Re 170; Cable got the team behind him and they played hard most of the time. But, some of the games they lost and the way they played were inexcusable: Houston, Pitts, Miami, Arizona, Jax. Cable took the team as far as he could. They need a coach to take them beyond 8-8. Hopefully, Hue is that guy. We’ll see.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:39 am
I was listening to Gil Brandt on sirius and he said that the reiders have completed ther coaching staff but admitted that there had not been an announcement yet. He also said he thought it was a “pretty good staff.” So a DC has been hired. We just don’t know about it yet.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:40 am
I don’t think Cable was a great HC, but you can’t deny that the team fought hard for him, especially at the end of seasons.
I’m just not going to villify the Raiders coach who won more games than any coach of late, and dominated our division in his 3rd year.
I hope Hue can continue on what Cable started here.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:49 am
Our O-line was off the charts good within our division this year.
Dominated Denver twice, really beat up KC the last game, and completely humilated the Chargers in San Diego.
And really the O-line played pretty well in the first KC and SD games.
I think the first KC game is the only one you can argue our O-line wasn’t as good as our opponents that Sunday.
Another area Hue must continue on the momentum with.
O-line play within the division.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:51 am
It is a shame that the incident happened, just glad no one got hurt. All the same, I think it might work out to the team’s advantage in the end only because it might scare away other teams from taking a chance on signing Bush as a FA. I agree he was underused by Cable. If Jackson really IS alot like Gruden, he will use Bush as a good-hands back for 3rd downs, goal-line runs and 4th quarter punishment runs against tired defenses. I also like that his favorite old time Raider is Bo Jackson.
February 13th, 2011 at 9:57 am
My fellow Louisville boy Bush. Not saying he should get a pardon, but to give more insight on the guy; he rolled the dice back home in a city where practically everyone drives drunk. No, it’s not cool and I’m not saying he should be excused, but it’s just the norm out there. Sad, but true. Louisville is a real urban city, unlike most places in KY, but its still not a gigantic metropolitan area. The traffic density is so low there that the moment you start driving as a teenager and partying, you notice everyone is driving drunk and ignorantly enough, you assume you can roll the dice too. Yea, I know, it’s Idiotic. Why follow the stupid immature crowd? But it wasn’t until I moved out to California in my early 20’s that I realized how real “traffic” and the level of the number cars that can be on the road is. Driving drunk anywhere is a bad decision, but after living in SoCal, I really realize the truth in the statements like – It just takes one bad decision, because there are always cars surrounding you in CA, whereas KY, like any other place in the South; the closest car on the highway at any given time outside of rush hour after work is like 40 yards. Again, mot giving him a pardon. Just giving some insight on growing up as an inner-city Louisville youth. Bush is grown now though, and he should know the error in his ways. Especially after living out here in CA since he’s been drafted. The traffic density is so thick here in CA, you HAVE to realize a lot easier that drunk driving can easily hurt you or others. And what the hell was he doing in Clarksville? Had to be going to a lady’s house. There is nothing over there (it’s directly across the Ohio river) like 5 min from Louisville. The time makes sense though. The clubs/bars don’t close ’till 4 back home. Not like a lot of other 2 o clock cities.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:01 am
oh really, you think cable was a good line coach?? how many pro bowl players did he produce??
our oline came alive when hue jackson stepped in the building. and our upsurge in wins is attributed to hujax too imho.it is easy for a coach to take a guy athletic enough to play tackle and make him a guard..with all respect to his accomplishments for changing the attitude in the locker room, it took him three years.. many coaches have taken rotten teams and turned them around in one year.. i will not throw cable under the bus but i must say i am glad he is gone…

I understand your fiscal conservatism, but I don’t agree with your assertion that Mike Bush is a good place to start. DHB makes a whole heck of a lot more money than Bush, and unless he undergoes a miracle transformation over the summer, isn’t going to be nearly as valuable to the team as Bush is.
I don’t claim to know much about contracts, and quite frankly don’t care about them because it’s not my money. However, if it WAS my money I think I might be looking at relative value when it comes to paying a player (or not), and I think Mike Bush is more valuable to this team than a lot of other guys.
You’d let him walk, and I respect your opinion. I would figure a way to move the money around and keep him.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:16 am
Fair enough R8rwill.
I hope a lot of last years success was solely because of Hue, and that he can take us to the next level next year and win the division.
But I will tap my cap to Cable for,IMO, a very servicable if not good job with the Raiders.
From where our O-line was in 2006 (one of the worst ever) and our record (2-14), after four years of Tom Cable the Raiders O-line improved dramatically, and we finished 8-8, and 6-0 in our divison.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:17 am
I would whole-heartedly support transferring some of DHB’s salary to retain Mike Bush.
That would be a GREAT personnel move.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:29 am
JFB isn’t a fiscal conservative. He just doesn’t want his government giving money to minority women and children. The government could bankrupt the country giving health insurers a trillion dollar bailout, and JFB would declare the day a national holiday.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:31 am
After the next NFL season is complete, I have a feeling Tom Cable’s going to be laughing really hard.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:33 am
jfb, we hope together.. i am not trying to deny the job cable did for us, just trying to say it was time to move on..i think another year of cable would hold us back..and you probably agree..
we have all the ingredients to make the playoffs, we need to tweak a few things and find a receiver who will catch the darn ball, with dmac and bush running the ball campbell will only have to manage the game and not make bonehead mistakes… i think this year will be a good one for raiders fans like us..

………..
Now that Cable’s gone we won’t even run the ball 15 times a game. We might even run the ball 15 times a year. Idiot.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:39 am
Campbell manage a game? Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much is the team paying you, R8rwill? Or are you really this retarded?
February 13th, 2011 at 10:45 am
The reason we won the 8 games that we did this year is because in those games Cable REFUSES to put the game into the hands of any Al Davis scholarship.
February 13th, 2011 at 10:59 am
M. Bush was not only a sure 1st rounder, he was going to be a top ten, if not an overall top 5 pick.
February 13th, 2011 at 11:01 am
DHB is more valuable than Bush, but only because one is a starting WR the other is a back up running back.
February 13th, 2011 at 11:19 am
DHB is NOT more valuable than Bush!
Come on!
February 13th, 2011 at 11:24 am
Lets just be happy that Bush didn’t hurt himself and anyone else.
Hope he learns a lesson. End of story.
I’m more concerned about the Raiders DC position and whether or not they are going to be able tom keep most of the in house free agents. Those two moves will be a key as to whether or not Hue has success or not.
The schedule will more difficult next year, than it was this past year.
Add more talent and depth on the O-Line, D-Line and OLB positions. Add a vet #1 or #2 WR in free agency and add a good backup TE and try and find a true blocking FB!
February 13th, 2011 at 11:29 am
Being that Adrian Peterson was taken #7 the year Bush was drafted, the chance that Bush would have went top 5 is something less than no chance in hell.
February 13th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Right now, DHB should be the 4th receiver behind Chaz, Jacoby and Murphy. Throw in formations with McFadden in the slot or out wide and he becomes the 5t receiver. And, that is being kind. If the Raiders do sign a vet, DHB would be lucky to have a roster spot or face being deactivated on game days. He will be entering his 3rd year on Al’s scholarship.
February 13th, 2011 at 11:35 am
I’m not saying DHB is a better football player than Bush; I’m saying it is more important for the Raiders that DHB is better than Bush.
MB is a much better football player than DHB.
February 13th, 2011 at 12:20 pm
I’m not happy that Bush didn’t hurt anyone. It would have been nice if he were drinking and driving in Piedmont and ran over Al Davis.

Cable is a loser.
February 13th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Despite you calling him a loser….he still lead this team to an unbeaten record in the division, which probably won’t happen again for the Raiders or any other team in the NFL for quite some time.
February 13th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Entire schedule stacked in his favor…playing 10 games against the worst two divisions in football and the best he can do is 3rd place?
Loser.
February 13th, 2011 at 12:58 pm
Without Cable every game would have been in Campbell’s hands and we might have gone 0-16.
February 13th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Cable took the game out of the hands of Davis’s QB, which is the recipe for winning in Oakland. What a surprise, he improves the team from 5 to 8 wins. It’s not rocket science.
February 13th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Raiders lost to 6-10 Tenn, Hou, & SF also 5-11 AZ and Miami at 7-9, we gave away a game to 8-8 Jax
combined record of 38 – 58
Raiders win those games there record would have been 33-63.

He stood up to Al, and that goes a long way in Oakland. I don’t know why, but it does. Coaches who stand up to Al get the best results here.
February 13th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
Hue Jackson is a smart coach, but so far it looks like he’s going to do things Al’s way. That will result in losing. Like I said earlier, Cable is going to get the last laugh.
February 13th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
what happened to artests shot? he can’t even hit wide open j’s..
yeah cable did alright while here but istill say i am glad he is gone…
February 13th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan! Isn’t it?!
Cable did a good job overall…and in some areas did a great job. He was given an opportunity in Oakland…and given more opportunities in Oakland. He gave the Organization, and his players, his loyal commitment, and he was rewarded for it.
In my opinion, all parties benefited from their union, as tenuous as it was at times.
If HueJax can foster/continue to foster the relationships w/ players that last year’s coaching staff had, he’ll be more than just fine.

I hope its not Chuck. I don’t think it will be a great step forward. Prob a parallel move in my mind. But if its him it means no other fish could’ve been lured so its the best that could be done this offseason.
February 13th, 2011 at 4:29 pm
I just don’t get all the Cable luv. The guy was garbarge. If Hue didn’t come here last season this would’ve been another 5-11 team. Who in their right mind really thinks Cable couldve ran that offense better than Hue?
February 13th, 2011 at 4:32 pm
You guys look at records and draw erroneous conclusioins. Like Cabes is some good HC. Not even close.
February 13th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
You can even see it in your comments (i.e. “hoping Hue can keep up the momentum Cable generated”). What f’kn momentum?????!!!
I would solidly argue Hue should keep up the momentum HE generated!!!!
This logic is the same BS logic that credits Todd Haley with being a great HC and turning around Matt Cassel (into a pro-bowl player). Such a farse! Any real objective or observant person can see Haley is awful and it was primarily the recruitement of Crannel and esp Weiss that deserves the credit (of turning around Cassell). When Haley had that offense under his thumb, Cassell was going backwards and the O stunk. Relieve him of that responsibility and you know what happened. (And the fools give Haley all the credit. What a joke.)

I know gringoes are not good at arithmetic, but you do the math.
Nnamdi @ ~ $16 mil divided by 16 games divided by 60 snaps per game = $16,000 per snap.
Chinese Guv defense budget ~ $80 billion divided by 1.2 billion citizens = $67 per person (a bag of groceries at Safeway).
USGuv expenditures in Afghan and Iraq wars ~ 1.5 trillion divided by the 3,000 dead in NYC and Pentagon (the impetus, no WMD notwithstanding) = $500,000,000 spent on revenge for each of the 9-11 dead.

February 13th, 2011 at 5:03 pm
Since we don’t know who it is, if there is in fact someone in house by now. I’m just curious to see who who would prefer Moss or Perry for DC. I’m on the Perry side.
February 13th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
I have no preferences in that regard. Whoever they believe is better I’m all for it.
February 13th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
I honestly don’t think Darren Perry is in the mix. He was almost exclusively a 3-4 guy as a player, and has been the same as a coach. Moss, on the other hand, has experience at both but is primarily a 4-3 guy.
I think it’s Moss, or it’s Chuck B.

What Bush did was very stupid but if you think this kid can afford a driver at this point guess again he was a 4th rnd pick if he makes a couple a hundred grand a year if he’s lucky. This was supposed to be his first big contract hopefully 30 – 40 mill. He did what millions do everyday and thought he could get away with it.
Michael Bush might very well be in debt if anything.

***************************************
This is so way off by Priest on so many levels.
First off he does make a couple hundred grand (not if he is lucky) as the NFL minimum salary is close to 300K.
Second, the league pays for a free 24 service to give players rides wherever they are, wherever they are going.
3rd, he will not get 30-40 million dollars. He probably won’t even get half of that.
Someone will offer Bush around the 3 year $13 million range, and that will be a tough call for us to re-sign or not. Signing Bush (a backup) for that type of money will mean we will not be signing another potential $4 million a year guy, who could be a starter.

I give myself too much credit?
This is the current handle you’re using (one amongst several, I’m sure):

“You obviously know nothing about NFL players. Most of them don’t party, and hardly even drink.”
______________________________________________________
“How do you know that? What an ignorant, baseless comment. You’d have to jump through such hoops and make several other unprovable, baseless claims to even remotely back that up with evidence.”
February 14th, 2011 at 10:11 am
The onus isn’t on me to prove that most NFL players don’t drink heavily, it’s on BBB for assuming that they do. The accuser is the one who needs proof.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:14 am
BBB equated NFL players to the cast of Jersey shore. Why he would even watch football if he honestly believed that is beyond me. I would stop watching football forever if I saw a shred of evidence that most, READ, MOST, NFL players drink irresponsibly. I’ve only seen anecdotal evidence that would suggest such a thing. As far as myself or anyone knows, only some NFL players drink irresponsibly.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:34 am
According to a Tweet from Raiders, Rod Woodson has joined the Coaching staff. No idea as to what position etc
February 14th, 2011 at 10:36 am
i assume most people over 21 drink.
i dont care if you a ball player, blue/white collar worker or unemployed.
DRINK that DRANK get DRUNK ! ! !
a lot of people who drink do not use their best discretion when drunk.
its obvious that obviously mike bush didnt make the obvious decision and call a cab.
i give bush a pass.
first off feild issue.
not a big deal IF he learns from this mistake and dont do it again

Rod Woodson, eh?
Could be a great addition. Ridiculously smart player.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Mack-Madden, you are stupid beyond belief. If most people drank, Anheiser Bush and Miller would be bigger than Microsoft and Exxon. This is the dumbest I’ve ever seen this comments section, and that’s saying a lot. Because you guys aren’t exactly Einsteins regularly. But this is an all time low.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:46 am
There should be a press release soon on woodson.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:46 am
Looks like a DB coach.

LOL, and you feel like you meet this standard in all your Anti-Al rants? I’ve had to correct your facts at least twice recently.
For those of you who actually LIKE the Raiders: Rod Woodson is a great grab. Good job, Al Davis!
February 14th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Will this move influence Nnamdi?????
February 14th, 2011 at 10:49 am
You’ve never corrected me in your life, Davy.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:49 am
It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan! Isn’t it?!
Man, there are only a few people “in here” right now, yet the BS is being flung far and wide.
MBush coulda called a cab. Leaving his ride behind, and having to go back to get it, and any hassles involved therein, might’ve helped his alcohol-fueled brain make the wrong decision. Now he’ll pay a price…
BUT, there really isn’t much reason to suspect his next contract will be diminished financially because of a one-time brush with the law. He’s far from the only NFL player to get popped in a contract year.
Thankfully, nobody got hurt. That alone saves him big $$$…and his next contract will be written with this incident in mind (i.e., behavior clauses tightened down).
February 14th, 2011 at 10:50 am
I hope Woodson is hired. He’s been vocally critical of Al’s man coverage. We need coaches who stand up to Al, and Woodson is one of them.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:51 am
Wow, Hayez, got anything other than the painfully obvious?
Let’s break down your comment:
- Bush is responsible for himself
- Other NFL players have been busted in contract years
-Thankfully, no one is hurt.
Peter King over here.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:54 am
It’s a great day to be the self proclaimed best Raider fan in the entire world and completely control the conversation on a blog, isn’t it?
February 14th, 2011 at 10:54 am
Bresnahan and Woodson as DC and Asst. DC?
February 14th, 2011 at 10:57 am
Woodson has been vocally critical of Al’s defensive strategy. Maybe Al doesn’t know. Whatever the case, glad he’s on board.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Maybe Al thinks he re-signed Charles Woodson.
February 14th, 2011 at 10:58 am
What’s the matter, MR? Did I take away a little of the constant attention you need?
Claiming most players don’t drink! The guy who insists that everybody else backs their statements with fact…never holds himself to the same standard. Oh, but we know that.
Just pathetic flailings to attract attention. So sad.

Like I said, BBB first made the accusation that most players drink. When he proves most players drink, only then will the burden be on me to prove that most players don’t. Until then, HE’S the one making baseless claims. The NFL has problems but if every player drank enough to get a DUI any given night, the league wouldn’t be able to function. You guys simply aren’t using your heads.
February 14th, 2011 at 11:02 am
Defensive backs coach…HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
Only the Raiders.
February 14th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Where’s the vilification of Al for hiring another Asst. Coach before the DC has been named??
Ohh…I see…as long as we all like the player-turned-coach, it’s OK to make the hire. If not, Al must’ve fokked-up again.
Great job by Al and the front office lately…with or without the addition of the great Rod Woodson!
February 14th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Question, for he who’s having a great day being a Raider fan, even following the 8th straight season without a playoff appearance:
Why would you even watch NFL football if you thought most NFL players were as irresponsible as to get drunk every single night? Most players being severe alcoholics? You would support that?
February 14th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Hayes you either work for the team, or your parents need to kill you and try the late term abortion defense. If they show the judge your comments here, they might get away with it.
February 14th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Hayes, what’s your position with the Raiders? Towel boy? Oh, of course, EVERYONE in the organization is a towel boy, even Al’s right hand man Herrera. Ha ha ha. There is ZERO honor working for the Raiders, unless you’re someone with options, like Rod Woodson. You’d have more dignity in prison wearing pig tails with your shirt sleeves tied in knots than working for the Raiders without any other options. Is that what you do, Hayes? Do you work for the team and just get humiliated constantly by management? I’ll bet you do. Sad.
February 14th, 2011 at 11:13 am
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
February 14th, 2011 at 11:16 am
RMR are you saying that DUIs are not a problem in the NFL?
2008-73 NFL players got DUIs
February 14th, 2011 at 11:16 am
I thought the Raiders already had a DBs coach in Kevin Ross. Either way, I was hoping they would bring a new DBs coach aboard, so good hire!
February 14th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Raiders made another excellent move to building an elite coaching staff.
One pro: Mr. Woodson gives the Raiders an extra edge in acguiring FAs since Rod has been on NFL Network.
One Con: We will all know who the anonymous source

Ever see a pro team…in ANY major sport celebrate a Championship in their locker room? Live, or on video? Ever notice the percentage of players NOT partaking in the cascading bubbly and beer?
Do most young adults drink alcohol?
Well…ACCORDING TO THE LATEST GALLUP POLL, APPROXIMATELY 67% OF AMERICAN ADULTS DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
If NFL players are representative of general society in that regard, it only stands to reason that the majority of them drink.
Most NFL players drink? Naaah…can’t be!!

That would be why so many people who otherwise “don’t have a drinking problem” get DUI’s.

Even if that were true, and of course it’s not, because you wouldn’t even be able to get a football game on Sunday if it were, players wouldn’t even show up to games if they were that smashed, why would he still support the league? Why, as a consumer, would he fork hard earned coin over to such a disaster? Seems odd, doesn’t it? It’s because he’s exaggerating. He knows only a minority of players behave that way, most just go home at night and stay with their families. He must know that. Or he surely would have ceased to be a consumer of this product some time ago, wouldn’t he?

Raiders hiring Mr. Rod woodson is an excellent move.
I think he will do an excellent job in getting the Raiders DBs to communicate and be on the same page when they play zone at times.
That has been their biggest flaw; they do an excellent job of man to man; but when they play the occassional zone they are like a junior high school squad at times.

Raiders hire Rod Woodson as defensive backs coach
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 14, 2011, 2:33 PM EST
One of the best defensive backs in NFL history is about to start coaching the defensive backs of the Oakland Raiders.
Hall of Famer Rod Woodson has been hired as Oakland’s defensive backs coach, the Raiders announced today.
For new Raiders head coach Hue Jackson, that’s a huge name to add to the coaching staff. There are few men more respected around the NFL than Woodson, an 11-time Pro Bowler who played 10 years for the Steelers, one for the 49ers and four for the Ravens before finishing his career with the Raiders in 2002 and 2003.
But it also seems like a little bit of a head-scratcher, as Woodson has always seemed completely content as a father, husband, youth sports coach and NFL Network analyst. The rigors of NFL coaching will presumably change Woodson’s life significantly.
Woodson already lives in the Bay Area, however, which makes it easier for him to take the job without too big of a disruption to his family life. And Woodson isn’t known for doing something if he’s not committed to doing it right. So the Raiders appear to have pulled off a major coup for their coaching staff.
February 14th, 2011 at 11:41 am
Steve & Jerry must be on vacation to not get the scoop on this one.
Although I’m postive that Rod told Rich Eisner & Co. before anyone else, so the NFL Network got the scoop.

Most people buy gasoline. That’s why oil companies just about control the universe. Most people have computers, and most of those computers have either Microsoft or Mac operating systems, which is why Bill Gates and Steve Jobs crap thousand dollar bills. Get the distinction?
**************
Ohhhh… where to start…
“That 67% in whatever Gallup poll you came up with includes moderate drinkers”
Yup. They’re still drinkers. And 67% > 50% and thus is still “more”
“and I’m sure those numbers are skewed. They probably polled an NFL parking lot before a game.”
It’s a Gallup poll. You can look up exactly where they got their data. Or make blind assumptions as per usual.
“If most Americans drink, either Anheiser Bush and Jack Daniels are hiding enough coin to start their own military superpower.”
They probably could.
“Most people buy gasoline. That’s why oil companies just about control the universe.”
Hyperbole aside, MOST people (over 21) buy alcohol as well. Just not every day, and not as a requirement to get to and from wherever they need to go. Also, businesses don’t require alcohol to function and maintain their supply chains. Alcohol is a consumer product, gas consumer and industrial.
“Most people have computers, and most of those computers have either Microsoft or Mac operating systems, which is why Bill Gates and Steve Jobs crap thousand dollar bills.”
And part of the reason Microsoft is so large is because of their BUSINESS customers. Don’t believe me, then let me point out the following:
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/global500/2010/full_list/101_200.html
CNN’s Global Top 500
196 Anheuser-Busch InBev 36,758 4,613
197 Apple 36,537 5,704
BOTTOM LINE: You really should have been beat more as a child.

Funny how you claim someone else is stereotyping when that’s all you were doing the other day regarding hot women. Just thought that I would point that out…

Rod Woodson???
NICE!
I know he, Wiz and Biekert don’t have a lot of coaching experience, but all very respected and were very, very good as players, Woodson in particular.
I kept saying that the defensive backfield needs to get organized and I think this is the hire to do just that.
Good offseason so far.
Still two huge hires remain though, DC and QB coach.
February 14th, 2011 at 11:46 am

should the Eagles trade Kolb, I see the eagles drafting Newton, as they will be starting Vick for at least 2-4 years anyway, it is going to take Cam at least two years to be NFL ready, so…..

Well, RaiderDogg, sometimes stereotyping is absolutely necessary. I had to do it to make a point. There is no way a good looking woman is going to stay faithful to a guy like you. You’re not her type. You somehow charmed her into like you, good for you. A lot of guys like you have done that. It’s not unusual. But she has natural instincts that you can not keep up with, I can tell just by reading your comments. And you are not going to like how it’s going to end between you and her. Of course, this is all assuming you’re telling the truth about her being hot, anyway. Your wife is probably a duck.
February 14th, 2011 at 11:54 am
According to a league source, the following numbers are in line with what the NFLPA expects franchise tags to equate to in 2011, assuming they are upheld in the next CBA:
Quarterbacks: $16 million ($16.4 million in 2010)
Running backs: $9.5 million ($8.15 million in 2010)
Wide receivers: $11.3 million ($9.5 million in 2010)
Tight ends: $7.3 million ($5.9 million in 2010)
Offensive linemen: $10.1 million ($10.7 million in 2010)
Defensive ends: $12.9 million ($12.4 million in 2010)
Defensive tackles: $12.5 million ($7 million in 2010)
Linebackers: $10 million ($9.7 million in 2010)
Cornerbacks: $14 million ($9.6 million in 2010)
Safeties: $8.8 million ($6.5 million in 2010)
Kickers: $3.1 million ($2.8 million in 2010)
I do not see the Raiders paying Zach or Huff 7-9 million for just one more season, especially with the depth at safety and this being the 3rd year for DHB, Murphy; and the break out season for Ford & Reece.

RaiderDogg, I hope I’m never stupid enough to do what you’re doing, desperately do everything I can just to get a woman that’s out of my league to like me. I’ve outgrown that phase. No guy should have to go through what you’re going to go through, at your age. It’s something you should have gone through in adolescence. But some men need to be abused. Good luck. Like I said, when she does cheat on you, or, more like, when you finally catch her and you don’t need me to tell you anymore, I’ll have a beer with you, buddy. Guys night out. We’ll hit up a strip club. They’re made for guys like us. I’m just wise enough to know it. You’re still in the fantasy phase. But she’ll bring you down to reality pretty soon. Or you’ll find out, in a not so comforting way.

i dont know about the “dropping towel/wipe shoes incident”, if thats true thats messed up.
Funny.
a true boss of all bosses/king of all kings moment if that really happened.

Mack-Madden, seriously, we’ve all seen The Chappelle Show. You’re not proving to have any wisdom by quoting it.

relax.
it was just a reference.

Was Al polite when he ripped a former employee recently for doing nothing more than saying that the team isn’t a loser anymore?

well my opinion is that coach cable should not have made that statement in the first place.
(wheter it be true/false)
Having worked with mr davis how many years, how can cable be so oblivious to think that statement would sit well with mr davis.
personally i did not like that statement by coach cable.
was guessing mr davis wouldnt like it either.
press conference comments by mr davis expressed how much he did not take to kindly to that statement.

everyone knows mr davis has way too many a$$-kissers around him.
even the a$$-kissers themselves know this.
but they still continue to kiss his a$$.
cable did not have to kiss mr davis a$$.
i respect that he chose not to.
no need to pucker up,
however, just keep it shut and do it moving.

rod woodson is a class guy, very personable not arrogant or snotty at all.. that will rub off on our young dbacks.. i would not be surprised if he is the d coor. the man knows football, if i am not mistaken i think he played under labeau in pittsville..

“It’s an honor to be back with the Raiders and be able to talk to Raider players about true football,” said Woodson, who most recently served as an analyst for the NFL Network and as a color commentator for the Big Ten Network. “I’m looking forward to working with the organization and the challenges of the 2011 season.”
Rod made a pretty brainy analyst, I think he’ll be a great coach. Hue’s staff is really coming together.

I find the advertising banner at the top of this page disturbing.
