JaMarcus Russell -- RELEASED

[SF Kid]

Finally the Dark Lord has admitted Russell was a mistake. Good. Now the team can move forward without that distraction. For all the crap Davis takes this is a day when he needs to be given credit for cutting bait with Russell. Remember he paid that clown just short of $40 million over the last three years. Had to be a very difficult decision but one that is in the best interest of the Raiders at this point.

Wow, is Russell one of the greatest #1 overall pick busts ever?

Wow, is Russell one of the greatest #1 overall pick busts ever?There some debate as to whether Russell or Ryan Leaf was the biggest bust in NFL history.

There are arguments on both sides but considering Russell was the #1 overall pick and has received I believe $39 Million in guaranteed money, well do the math.

Leaf on the other hand was an absolute jerk; was the #2 overall pick (which the Chargers gave up two #1's, a #2 and two players to move up one spot to draft so he cost a lot too.

So the jury is out. I'll say this: It's too close to call. :boxing:

Give the old man credit that took balls. I think he is past it, but this was something that had to be done, and he did it. Good move AL.:beerbang:

Agreed, at least Campbell will play his guts out.

And one of the Raider fans "translated" it...

"Homeboy can't TELL you what it do, main, 'cuz Homeboy don' KNOW what it do! He don' KNOW what it be! If he did, he'd still be holdin' it down in Oaktown, ya feel me? But it's all good! Thass how they DO in Mobile. cuz we don' do SHIT in Mobile, y'HEARD me? Dat big-ass diamond watch on his wrist, dat shit ain't fuh tellin' no damn TIME! He wear all dat shit so when you see him rollin' down the street, YOU da one know what TIME it is, y'HEARD me?! But it's all good! If we get loud enough and crunk enough, if we front that bling and shit enough, we can go through life pretendin' like we 'BOUT it, y'HEARD me? So don' git in my face with all dat noise about 'failin' ' and 'not livin' up to potential' an' all dat BULLLLL-shit! Homeboy got PAID, an' dat's all dat MATTERS up in this bitch! When y'all don' KNOW shit, and cain't DO shit, dat means y'all don't have to GIVE a shit, y'heard me? Yeah, we be some shitless muthafu-KAAS!...Where mah forty at?!"Unbelievable...
