He is the only veteran big play receiver that young Jamarcus Russel should be able to depend on. I hope for the sake of my beloved Raiders that this report is as overblown as the Jamarcus weight issue was.

I'm sure he see's his statements as defending his club's honor, but more & more these past several years he's sounding petty and spiteful. It's too bad because for those like myself not in the area, he comes across as a relic that's too foolish and stubborn to change. Then again, maybe that's not far off, I'm not sure.

As for McFadden, if he could run through the SEC for MULTIPULE years, he will be just fine in the NFL. Suspect character? Never suspended, and the only legal issues he had was defending a family member. Al Davis is pusing all of his chips to the middle of the table to make a run. Thank goodness we have an owner who cares about winning instead of just making money. Oh yeah, and Star, tell Jerry to be careful Al does not stop short or he will be right up his butt.

Theres not much reason to panic about a guy showing up to his first workouts out of shape. He was real good in 06 and he gets a pass for 07 because of his role in the Darrent Williams tradgedy. A fresh start on a team that is going to get a lot better this year sounds like reason for optimism.

Here's a direct quote from Kiffin, "Javon has done some good things. He's a little bit heavy right now, which is normal for him in the offseason, so we've got to work him down to his playing weight and get him ready to go." as posted in the Press Democrat Friday, May 16. Sounds like normal offseason weight gain to me and if the coach is that worried about it why should you. Oh that's right, nothing better to do than hate on the Raiders. Good job trying to blow something out of proportion. Another story wrongfully attributed to coach Kevlar’s bedmate Schefter. Here’s a direct quote from Kiffin, “Javon has done some good things.

The Raiders haven't made a move I liked for years now, including the drafting of Darren McFadden when they should've done all they could to trade down and land one of the big OTs before they all got snatched up up in the teens. DMac is a speed-guy with character issues who lucked out by Adrian Peterson's NFL success. All those baseless comparisons by the media and a great 40 time blinded Al Davis from the truth: that McFadden is a situational back at the next level.

I expect the Raiders to win four or less games next year, and the starting QB of those late season victories to be Andrew Walter in Playoff-meaningless-games.
