Ok its just about time for The Draft and I am just stuperfied to what is going on in Oakland ! What happened to the Commitment to excellence? I see some of the weirdiest moves to date with this team sure years of odd stuff has been going on but this Offseason truly takes the cake first with making Tommy Kelly the highiest paid interior lineman in the NFL why? Hell he hasnt even been the most productive on the team! Burgess is then you let go a team sack leading Chris Clemons and sign Kelly to a huge deal? Then there is Nhamdi As you know the rest this CB is a pro bowl type player who has been franchised? Why not lock him up ? Obivously he wants to stay and he is worth the money! You see how the Charles Woodson fiasco panned out not good! Hes a better healthier player keep him pay him! Then signing Javon Walker? This guy has torn up Knees for a reciever with bad knees well ask Marvin Harrison how good he is with a bad knee? Javon hasnt been healthy for two years and to pay him 16 million is retarded! Now look it you have a relatively young team why not add some Vets that actually arent banged up and get them cheap? Draft great players in the late rounds while using the high pick on Mcfadden you have to draft him if nothing more then to boost the fan base he will sell tickets on draft day alone! Got to do it if he doesnt work you have fargas and Bush and Rhodes but you need to put some recievers and Olinemen on the team too and that can be achieved in the late rounds ! This free agency is really been badly managed this offseason the contracts I hope are overblown because on paper the reports I have read it doesnt look good!

I think the idea for the free agent spree is "Something must be done, were horrible!" 19-66 over the last 5 years tends to get the panic move. It probably will have mixed results. On the one hand, DeAngelo Hall guarantees a playmaker and means we wont have a gun put to our head to re-sign Asomugha, who clearly isnt remotely the player Hall is, but is a good player on his own. On the other hand, Javon Walker may have not fully healed, and is working with a rookie QB in a still developing scheme, but is clearly the best receiver on the roster. who else was out there comparable? Randy Moss? Amani Toomer? the real head scratcher was Tommy Kelly. , but then Buffalo gave a scrub, Langston Walker a ton of money, and they ended up having a decent season (lot s of promise with that young club) As usual, the press is looking to intensify "winners and losers" in free agency. The only satisfaction is seeing them do an about face if the Raiders win (and they'll really ignore them after that)

What a bunch of losers you guys are. Are you seriously trying to rally behind some bit*h a*s receiver who whined about not being number one in Denver so they cut him after he missed basically his third full season with yet another knee injury?! And then after grandma glasses Al Davis signs him to one of the most lucrative WR contracts in the league?! Then the guy goes out to vegas to celebrate and gets his [bleep] beat and his face blasted!! What a joke!! Then the guy wants to retire and you guys stop him and beg him to play for you??!!    HA HA HA HA HA HA!!  The Black Hole is right--that's where all of your franchise's money goes, right into a black freaking hole!!!   JaMarcus Russell, holdout king is just now learning how to play in the NFL after Daunte had to try and shoulder your pathetic franchise last year. I bet you guys would have done a lot better over the years if grandma Al had just given Gruden the money he deserved (that was like the funniest Super Bowl ever--Gruden made you guys his bit*h--HA HA HA HA!!!). I guess I should stop bringing up old stuff, maybe if I do you guys will bring up how Madden used to whip the Donkeys--30 years ago!!   HAHAHAHA!!!  Oh man, what a hilariously entertaining franchise you guys have. Good luck on Monday night losers.
