BREAKING NEWS: Terror Alert in Oakland

By JAIME ARON, AP Sports Writer
September 18, 2006

OAKLAND, California (AP)--Oakland Raiders football practice was delayed nearly
two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery
substance on the practice field. Head coach Art Shell immediately
suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators.
After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the
white substance unknown to players was the GOAL LINE. Practice resumed
after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the
substance again.

so its pretty much a dead solid lock then?

Brillig · 09-19-2006, 12:47 AM

Al Davis won't pick him unless he can run a 4.4 40...

It is called football discussion, on a football board. I know it is hard to imagine, but if you hang around here awhile, you might learn something. Also, I don't remember apologizing to anyone. After all I don't actually play for the Raiders, so I don't really have anything to do with their success or failure. If it makes you feel a little better, I will predict the Raiders to go 14-2... wow I feel less pathetic already.

You dont play for them? With all of your insight I thought you were at least a member of the front office. Your in depth analysis and how you wish "we" would move to a zone blocking scheme sure fooled me. You dont fool me Mr Davis. I know its you.

Plummer. Left handed, out of the end zone. TD KC.

I feel better now, I've spent to much time defending the clown the last few days. Feel much more comfortable doing this.

albionmoonlight · 09-19-2006, 03:08 PM

This thread wouldn't be so cool if it were something like "I think that the Oakland Raiders are awesome"

It stands the test of time much better as a comment both on the Raiders and on the NFL Preseason.

I have to admit that was the play that jumped immediately to mind when I thought about "worst pass ever."

Nice. It would be bad enough if it was Deuce behind him, but lineman Wayne Gandy?? What did he think -- Gandy was going to break it for a big gain?

Did I give you a wedgy in a past life or something or does it just really irritate you when someone actually has a rooting interest in team. I am a coach in the real world so it is just second nature to have "insight". I have seen a lot of mind numbing drivel on the board, and thought it was an interesting thread.

Its called humor. If you stick around the board long enough you'll get the hang of it.

No problem, it was all meant in good humor. Or at least Don Ricols humor, which is good too.

Not really, they probably have a better shot on their bye week.

Noble_Platypus · 09-21-2006, 08:59 AM

Does getting sacked in your end own zone for a safety count? I think they have a pretty good shot at that happening when they play next week.

Pumpy Tudors · 09-21-2006, 09:08 AM

They have a pretty good shot of getting sacked in the end zone on their bye week.

Noble_Platypus · 09-21-2006, 09:35 AM

At least they would know what it looks like. Or they could ask their defense, since they are always chasing the opposing team into the end zone.

jbmagic · 09-21-2006, 02:40 PM

Moss now is feuding with Coach Art Shell. He is mad at him for not activating WR Porter back.

Noble_Platypus · 09-21-2006, 02:42 PM

Porter isnt exactly itching to play for them righht now JB

True, but you dont have a QB to get anyone the ball, so it doesnt matter.

JS19 · 09-21-2006, 03:08 PM

All this Raider talk has made me realize how much of a waste Randy Moss' talent is right now. Not saying he's a great guy to have on your team and such, but you can't deny that he is/was one of the best WRs. He seems to have fallen off the face of the earth since joining Oakland.

Noble_Platypus · 09-21-2006, 03:11 PM

True, but Randy Moss himself is partially to blame for his talent being wasted. He only runs his routes hard half of the time.

Honolulu_Blue · 09-21-2006, 03:17 PM

The despressing thing about all of this is that this thread was started right after the Raiders spanked the Detroit Lions in the Lions' 3rd (Raiders' 4th) preseason game, 21-7.

Brooks looked deadly accurate and Moss was unstoppable. Brooks was 9/15 for 187 yards and 2 TDs in the first half and Moss had 3 catches for 102 yards and 2 TDs.

I would like to think that the preseason is meaningless, but so far the Lions have scored only 13 points in 2 games and QBs have completed 45-57 passes against them so far.

Not good times...

IIRC, the Lions came to Oakland the day of the game and had serious jetlag so that was part of the cause of them being flat that game.

DeToxRox · 09-21-2006, 07:21 PM

Jerry Porter may be a Lion soon according to local hub bub. Terry Foster has been talking to NFL contacts, some of which say it's a given. Who knows but as with the Lions this will either boom or bust with no middle ground if true.
