Ahhh, Phillip Buchanon…..errr “Showtime.”  Raiders fans can relate to your Showtime moniker Phillip, as in “want me to show you the time Pbuc got torched by the Chiefs 3rd string wideout?” “

Us diehard Raider fans who follow the Silver & Black from the first OTA’s on,  should have known the very day you showed up to your ROOKIE training camp in a white stretch limo and Playboy pajamas, that something was amiss… even from a guy who played at “The U.”  From day one Buchanon talked like Deion and played like Leon (Lett that be a lesson to you Phillip, tuck the fucking ball away before you start celebrating).

So now comes word that Buchanon, recently jettisoned from the mighty Lions to the hairy chubby fingers of Daniel Snyder, did not get along with his Lions Coaches…. yes coaches plural. Seems you couldn’t get along with not only head coach Jim Schwartz, but the D coordinator and DB’s coach too. Quoting Buchanon from this Detroit Free Press article ““My thing is, if I can’t talk to the defensive coordinator or I can’t talk to my position coach as we can’t make something try to work between us, then this whole thing is not going to work.”

It must be them Pbuc, not the Raiders, not the Texans, not the Lions entire coaching staff… its everybody else. This is what was said about you when you were banished to Houston… from Bill Soliday of the Conta Costa Times “When Phillip Buchanon left for Houston, nobody threw him a going away party in Oakland. His act was growing old with fans, teammates, coaches and we won’t even get into his media relations. Suffice it to say, listening to him talk about himself in the third person got a little old after awhile.”

Soliday went on to say that he didn’t think “you were a bad guy, just cocky.” Or from the immortal words of Tim Brown, after yet another great punt return followed by a just as great blunder (taking your helmet off , taunting the Chiefs fans, game changing penalty)…

“Phillip giveth and Phillip taketh away.”

So Jamarcus Russell has finally arrived as a player… a crappy craps player that is. This according to the noted sportswriting crew at TMZ (is the Rachel Nichols  TMZ hire official yet, or Will DisneyAbcEspnAol simply add another acronym???). TMZ,  previously noteworthy for its fair and balanced coverage of such landmark moments as Paris Hiltons “leaked” sex tape and Lindsay Lohan taking hacks from the other side of the plate, is obviously seeking to protect its Hollywood turf from ESPN.

ESPN whose acid trip of a Hollywood set would freak out Timothy Leary, had been converging on the Hollywood and sports (as an afterthought) theme long before Walt’s “Imagineers” re-imagined the Sportscenter set by flinging Pantone Orange #21c paint, and adding more swirling lights than the Bellagio and Space Mountain combined. Though it does highlight Chris Bermans rug quite nicely. Rumor has it that the intensity of the UV lights on the Sportscenter set also gave  draft “expert” Todd Mcshay (can he spell M-a-y-o-c-k?) that awful “buy 12 tans, get 3 free” bodybuilder look in the 2009 draft.

Has it really come to this Jamarcus???Why does TMZ care about you… why did they feel inclined to title the article (for lack of a better word) “NFL QB JaMarcus Russell — Heavy Bettor“    

AFC West expert blogger Bill Williamson of ESPN risked fines and suspensions for straying from his work on the new uber secret  ”ESPN Hollywood Squares” program (spoiler alert: every answer is “Yankees, Red Sox, Brett Favre, or Tiger Williams) to comment on Jamarcus…

“Russell’s issues run deeper than his weight. Even if Russell were to show up at 235 pounds, he still must address his fundamentals. He has terrible footwork. He has an atrocious completion percentage – 48.8 percent in 2009. He stares down his intended receiver. He can’t read defenses. He has a poor work ethic and is not a leader. Those are major problems, folks. He has to address each shortcoming before camp and I don’t think he has enough time. The fact that he is actually trying is commendable, but this is the former No. 1 overall pick. There are no excuses. He already should be much further along than he is.”   <— sigh, the fucking truth hurts when it comes to the #1 overall pick

So Jamarcus, this could go one of three ways… and since a picture is worth a thousand words, lets see what karma brings the three guys in this eerily cryptic picture below…
