JaMarcus Russell needs a vacation, and I suggest we send him to the Pro Bowl, which will be played a week before the Super Bowl this season. I think it’s in Miami, which has great weather and a fantastic night life that I’m sure Russell will love. He’s earned this trip, let’s make it happen.

The Raiders have signed a pigeon to their special teams crew. The pigeon lacks tackling ability but can be a distraction while blocking. Although he will not play with a number or even a jersey, he already wears silver and black.
For about half a quarter on Sunday, the Raiders looked like they could play with the big boys. The game was scoreless with about 8:00 left in the first quarter. The cable went out in my house at about that time. It came back about 30 minutes later, and f*ck me silly, we’re down 28-0. The Giants toyed with the Raiders the rest of the game, playing a lot of backups on route to a rout of the Raiders.
I’m not sure if there are many teams in football that could play worse than the Raiders on Sunday. ESPN currently has the Raiders ranked #29 in their power rankings, and that’s pretty generous. We’re lucky there are 3 winless teams lower than us. The Titans, with a record of 0-5, are ranked #27 and I don’t think any Raiders have a place to complain about that. The Titans are bad, but they’re not Raiders bad. They’ll find their wins this season, but I think the Raiders were lucky to get there’s week 2 against the Chiefs. It’ll take some luck to get another.
