true that on both accounts....I was blown away.
But I think they really like Walters. 6'6" 230. Good arm. Smart. Too similar to lienart.
They actually drafted pretty well. they needed what they got.
bush is the **** though. I tried to trade for him on madden 07. I offered my first THREE draft picks and they passed. They wanted Randy Moss AND a first round pick for him.

Nah....I get about 180 a game flopping vargas and jordon. Moss is too import to my stretch game.
Plus I'm like 7 games in now.
I switched to the hall of fame deal for now.
I might start my franchise over and go for it.
I don't need more cowbell dammit!

my buddy and I have been talking about the younger since they drafted him. Dude knows how to win. He's gonna be good. I'd rather sit through a season of building that one of waste.
Mix it up a little. The pass will help jordon get going and then when he gets going he'll help the passing game get going.
it's hard to do anything when the defense knows what you're gonna do.
One good thing....the defense looked pretty good yesterday. Even big Sapp.
If they start mixing jordon and fargas up and start using their very talented WR's and TE's they could do ok this year.....maybe close to 8-8.
Don't understand why you would throw so many ***** to whitted though. That dude stinks.

Al Davis has proved 2x now that he does not care about football, but rather income he can generate from his team. He doesn't care to make the team good so that fans will buy tickets because he is guaranteed money from the city of Oakland based on their promises to him when he moved the team back.

Then when they started losing, all of a sudden there were a whole bunch of "new" packer or cowboy fans, what a joke! yeah, my team is 0-2. but no degree of smack talking is going to stop me from rooting for them in the next game.
Whats pathetic is that you continue to show support for an owner that has shown no desire to win or even sellout games. As bad a John York was, he was never even close to the degree that Al Davis has been for years, and will continue to be for the rest of his life.

who roots for a team based on their owner? seriously, that would be like me saying, "uh, i used to like subarus...but the new c.e.o. is a d!ck so anyone who likes subarus now is dumb." everyone is an "armchair" owner and say how they would have done things different. davis has consistently sought after big names and young talented players (yes, with the exception of quarterbacks, and lately coaches) but to say that he is not interested in winning or selling out games is ridiculous. and i am not accusing you of being anything. the only thing i said is that there used to be a ton more 9er fans when they were winning and they all seem to dissapear when they are not doing so hot.

Im sure this has been done for other teams befor, but when I read it I was cracking up... and yes I am a Raider fan.
"Oakland Raiders football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Art Shell immediately suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the "GOAL LINE". Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again!"
