Return of a Rat and Crabtree the Turtle

April 21st, 2009
  • the “Fridge” is in bad shape… I patently reject your “I am a football fan” argument if you don’t agree that Mr. Perry and his big gap-toothed grin wasn’t a large part of a great era in the NFL.
  •  

  • classic pseudo-sports moment: the Fridge trades leather with Manute Bol… with the 7’7″ Bol using his 4,327 1/2″ reach to earn the decision. Anybody got video of this thrilla???
  •  

  • Rumor-mongering: Shanirat to coach the ‘skins… great plan Danny-boy… except for that little “you don’t have Elway” thing.
  •  

  • Crabtree to NFL GM’s: “I’m soooo much faster than the 40 I ran”…  I’ll give him game speed (think Marcus Allen, Jerry Rice) and going up for the jump ball (awesome skills here!) but not flat out wheels.
  •  

  • the folks at raiderbeat.com listed a “studs-busts-average” list of Raider draft picks since 1995, with Leon Bender as a “forgettable selection” …as the annoying but strangely cute progressive insurance chick says to the lads in rainbow shirts “that’s cold.”
  •  

  • last time the Raiders went WR in the 1st round???       thinking….       very guessable….       … Timmy Brown in 1988.
  •  

  • Jerry McDonald asks “would we pass on Curry if he falls to #7?”   … I’ll regurgitate our “swing for the fences” 1st round drafting preference last used when we took Mcfadden despite glaring needs… IF YOU ARE GOING TO PAY OBSCENE $$$, YOU MIGHT AS WELL TRY AND GET A SUPERSTAR. The answer Jerry, is f&%K no.
  •  

  • 3-days out gut feelings… Curry slipping, or a “Cadillac” for Cable with manboobs and an Outland Trophy award.

    Kiper Mcshay and Maclin the Munchkin

    April 14th, 2009
    • both Bill Polians BFF Steve Lavin… err Kiper and Todd Mcshay have us taking either a 6’1″ gazelle named Maclin, or a 4’3″ munchkin, depending on who measured him. As always, the incredible shrinking machine/Stanley Tape measure at the combine shrunk Crabtree down an 1 - 3/4″ and Maclin to an eyebrow over six foot. One word… shrinkage.
    •  

    • If the hair and Mcshay are right, wouldn’t it be easier for Dr. Evil (nod to Big Al detractors) to clone Johnny Lee Higgins instead… who now has almost IDENTICAL measurables.
    •  

    • Understandable that guys get dinged up in this violent sport, but something about Maclin falling over at the combine in drills  and staying down scares me.
    •  

    • Sooooo wouldn’t be having this Crabtree/Maclin discussion at all if Javon Walker was “half the man he used to be” – Scott Weiland
    • Memo to Javon: we really need you, Paul Hackett needs you. No golden champagne showers… put down the Cristal please. signed, Jamarcus
    •  

    • We stand by our “in the trenches” draft preferences regardless.
    •  

    • speaking of an “in the trenches” candidate mentioned at #7, Andre Smith continued the Skylab like descent of his good decision making…  having shitcanned his agent yesterday. Yo Dan Snyder, we’ve got your guy.
    •  

    • Rod Smith (like Biff Elway, a Donk that has earned our respect) thinks he should be in Canton. Great teammate and very good receiver, but if Cliff Branch isn’t worthy…
    •  

    • Memo from Rod Smith to Brandon Marshall: take notice you cocky twit. respectfully, Rod.
    •  

    • Speaking of Biff Elway, whose play and 4th quarter magic begrudgingly earned our respect. A part of me will always ding him as a sportsman for his “we really won the game, I played great” comments after Cal’s miracle marching band game.
    •  

    • Ibabuzz says Michael x2, as in Bush and Huff might be draft day trade bait. No and maybe…
    •  

    • Zach Thomas, a lifelong Raider fan, to the Chefs… guess that dream died right along with the Keyshawn in his prime one.
    •  

    • Tony Gonzalez (whose father was tinkled upon at the HOT, thus the odds of him bookending with Zach Miller stand at approximately 347,234 -to- 1) cleared out his Chef locker amid trade reports… which leaves Michael Huff without his shining example.
