I was going to say, I seem to remember there being some bad blood between Gannon and the Raiders at some point. In either case, it wouldn't be completely unthinkable that the Raiders draft a new QB on the future in the draft, since Al doesn't seem to have a problem screwing up on draft picks and then saying the hell with them (Stryker Sulak, Fabian Washington, Quentin Moses, Darnell Bing, Napoleon Harris)

Thats why the Raiders are the laughing stock of the NFL.

A day after the Raiders rebuffed an offer of help from their former quarterback, Gannon said on Sirius NFL Radio on Thursday that "I won't make that call again." Gannon said on his show Wednesday that he had called team owner Al Davis to offer any help for the organization and struggling young quarterback JaMarcus Russell. The Raiders responded that Gannon was the one who needed help. Gannon won the 2002 league MVP for the Raiders, leading them to the Super Bowl that season. Oakland has lost at least 11 games in all seven seasons since -- the longest such streak in NFL history.

Wow. That's kinda harsh.

^^^ LOL!

What saves me here though, is that I watch everybody. I have no favorite team.

damn the raiders are stupid

even though things between the titans and mcnair ended so badly in 06 we actually hired him to return and help VY out. (this was before his life was cut short, RIP)

raiders gotta hold there wittle grudges and look at them.

There are 31 teams in the NFL, then the Raiders.

What a joke.
