LOL! Hambrick and Emmitt Reunited!

Ksyrup · 08-31-2004, 07:07 PM

Hambrick traded to Cardinals for draft pick.

yabanci · 08-31-2004, 07:15 PM

Glad they got something in return for him. I read this story this morning:

Quote:

HAMBRICK WALKS OUT ON RAIDERS

A league source tells us that running back Troy Hambrick, frustrated by the fact that he wasn't slated to be the starting running back in Oakland, walked out of camp on Monday.

Per the source, Hambrick will now be released by the Raiders.

Look for Hambrick to draw immediate interest from the Dolphins, who are starved for running backs. Another possibility is Philadelphia, where the Eagles lost Correll Buckhalter a week or so ago.

The winner in this one might be running back Amos Zereoue, who might have been on the bubble with Hambrick, Ty Wheatley, and Justin Fargas on the depth chart.

You gotta be kidding me...

Suicane75 · 08-31-2004, 08:48 PM

Someone oughta sit him down and explain to him that he just isn't very good.

JeeberD · 08-31-2004, 08:50 PM

I'm soooooooooo glad that Hambrick ain't in Dallas anymore.

Poor Emmitt...

Tasan · 08-31-2004, 10:42 PM

I nearly peed my pants when I heard this on the radio today. Hambrick, who whined his way to the starting job and helped "ease" Jerry's mind about jettisoning Emmitt, gets traded to the exact same spot he was in a few years ago...backing up Emmitt on a bad team.

JeeberD · 08-31-2004, 10:46 PM

You need to come around more, Tasan. I miss you...

What happened to Marcel Shipp?

General Mike · 08-31-2004, 11:14 PM

dola,

nevermind, shipp has a leg injury that appears season ending.

Tasan · 08-31-2004, 11:37 PM

Its nice to know I'm missed. I just can't find time anymore to do this except for when I really shouldn't be, like now, because I have to be at work in 8 hours or so....ugh jobs stink. I want to stay at home and take care of my son again......damn responsibity and all.

Growing up and getting responsible sucks

cthomer5000 · 09-01-2004, 12:03 AM

wow, this is hilarious.

cthomer5000 · 09-01-2004, 12:03 AM

dola. nice work by the Raiders - turning a stiff into something (no matter what it is).

JasonC23 · 09-01-2004, 08:39 AM

This is funny. Couldn't have happened to a nicer, more humble, realistic guy.

Thomkal · 09-01-2004, 10:42 AM

As a Cardinal fan, I fell off the couch when I read this. My god our running game is going to be non-existent this year moreso than any other. They got DE Peppi Zellner in the same deal with Oakland. I'm familar with the name, but not the stats. He any good these days?

JeeberD · 09-01-2004, 10:55 AM

Peppi was never good back in his "prime"...

HornedFrog Purple · 09-01-2004, 10:56 AM

If you play the Redskins 16 times in a season, Peppi is pretty good.

JAG · 09-01-2004, 10:57 AM

Peppi's alright against the run, but has no pass rush ability whatsoever. If he's being counted on for more, he will disappoint.

totoro · 09-01-2004, 04:39 PM

A good deal for Silver and Black. Just win baby.

Comey · 09-02-2004, 10:24 AM

Just to add to the oddity, the Cardinals have acquired Aveion Carson off waivers from the Cowboys. He was the backup to Hambrick last year, early on, if I'm not mistaken.

-John

HornedFrog Purple · 09-02-2004, 10:27 AM

Yeah Caison is a good little specialist back and has some returning skills. I think he was the odd man out in the numbers game with Richie Anderson and Julius Jones getting some 3rd down snaps.

Edit: and yes he was Hambrick's backup until he blew out his ankle.

JeeberD · 09-02-2004, 12:23 PM

Julius needs to me starting over Eddie with Eddie being the short yardage back...

Give it time...George will put up a 3.1 ypc and Parcells will give him a shot at it.

JAG · 09-02-2004, 12:32 PM

I hear Sherman Williams is available...

JeeberD · 09-02-2004, 12:34 PM

What about Derrick Lassic?

"Swirvin'" Curvin Richards?

JeeberD · 09-02-2004, 12:52 PM

Lincoln Coleman!!!!!!!!

Tasan · 09-02-2004, 09:34 PM

Coleman was looking like a stud til he broken his hip ala Bo Jackson.

cwilloughby · 09-03-2004, 01:00 PM

I was at the Cards - Broncs game last night and watched Hambrick and Smith sitting on the bench chatting from halftime on...

I imagine the conversation went something like this...

Smith - "This is akward."
Hambrick - "I should be starting in front of you."
S - "You're like a goddamn lap dog."
H - "I wasn't a starter in Oakland, but their backs are better than you and I am better than them, my mom said so."
S - "Than me?"
H - "Yeah, they are only keepin you here to entertain us."
S - "Like This?"

Smith does his best impression of the Dirty Bird.

H - "I like happy bird dance! AGAIN! AGAIN!"
S - "Son, you couldn't outrun me when I'm 73 and I have to crawl everywhere because of operations to remove my battle scarred legs which will actually increase my height by some strange act of god."
H - "Uh, huuuuuh."
S - "Prove it."
H - "My dad can beat up your dad."

Just then, Avion Caison cops a squat..

Caison - "What are you guys talking about?"
S - "The good ole times."
H - "My omnipotence."
C - "We are on a shitty team."
H - "My cat's breath smells like cat food."
S - "Wheres my f@&*#$ benefiber."

JeeberD · 09-03-2004, 01:06 PM

You forgot...

H - "What do voluntary mean? My brother's still trying to figure that one out..."

cwilloughby · 09-03-2004, 02:03 PM

Nice one. Thanks for correcting the oversight
