Take a chill pill

yo everyone needs to chill. people talk about crabtree and the raiders and how he should have been the number 7 pick, WHO CARES!!!! we have DHB and so far thats looking good to be at least he in camp and looking good right now.
I guarantee if the raiders pick him that this holdout wouldnt even had happened.

Really?

You would dedicate a whole DLD to this? Instead of finding cool links about the Raiders? Like Nishal26 did about Ref’s coming to the training camp? I agree w/ you that Crabtree talk is irrelevant, but still.

You could have linked that Michael Huff is trying to win his job back.

Or that Mario Henderson is improving.

Or that Oakland signed FA OT Seth Wand.

I’m done with responding to everyone’s crap that is constantly flung in my face whether it deals with my DLD posts, Heyward-Bey dropping passes, Michael Crabtree’s holdout or improving the image of the blog.

Well it is a blog, where people can voice opinions. Whether we agree w/ them or not. It’s only flung in your face if you read it. Heyward-Bey dropping passes is relevant since, after all, he is a Raider. And he was known for dropping passes in college too. And you’re the one that is marching this one man army to improve the image of this blog, which apparently most people think is fine. Yes, there are a few problem people and problem posts. And I think it should be moderated more before posts posted, but you’ll have that. It’s not really that bad, and it’s not your job to mold this blog, owned by Saint, into what you want.

And when these problem posts arise, the mods will deal with it accordingly. You’ll note i deleted the post that completely restated what nishal said about the refs at Raiders camp. When things like that appear, then yes the mods or myself will delete them. But we won’t delete posts just because they’re discuss a topic you’re tired of reading. Juts simply don’t read them.

I agree, not that I am trying to say my opinion in this matters.

Part of judging what news to report, is gauging the peoples interest in it. Like in the sports world, while most everyone got sick of the Brett Farve saga, it was getting as much play as it was because it was still keeping enough viewers/readers interested.

Like it or not Crabtree is now going to be linked to the Raiders. I personally hope he holdsout forever and sucks, while DHB flourishes, so when I see either of the two of them I do not regret our draft pick or here others bash Al Davis’s decisions more than they already love to do.

And as Marquez says later, this is just another post about him creating more discussion about the WR who shall not be named.

I’m just saying that this has gone really far. Alot farther than I thought it would. I know Crabtree doesn’t play here, but SF is just across the bay. The interest isn’t hard to fathom. Plus he was linked to the Raiders by the comments he made alone. But please, put future comments in the fanshots so we don’t repeat all this mess. Just because we’re Raider fans doesn’t mean we can’t compromise. :)

The team announced it had signed seven-time Pro Bowl safety Brian Dawkins, who spent his previous 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to a source, the contract is for five years and $17 million. The deal could escalate to as much as $27 million if Dawkins can reach some achievable performance levels.

This is from last night.

The Broncos are “getting close” to signing Knowshon Moreno to a five-year deal with at least $12.5 million in guarantees.

“Significant progress” has been made of late, and Moreno is expected to agree to a deal with a maximum value in excess of $22 million. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the deal should be finalized as soon as Thursday night.

Vernon Davis wants crabtree in camp:

“[Crabtree] needs to get his butt here and help this team out,” Davis said. “He has a chance to be a big-time player. He should take what he can get, and get here.”

Michael Crabtree is still holding out? I didn’t see a new post.

He's gonna lose alot of respect that he has left

if he doesn’t. And I dunno if anyone will pick him that high next year after this debacle. Or even at all.

He’s not going to reenter the draft. Crabtree never said he would. His so-called “adviser” said that. His agent has denied it. Eventually, he’ll sign.

yeah, he's going to sign....

but whether or not he makes it into camp soon enough is another question…

He could have a lost year kind of like when Jamarcus held out

I'm sure he will.

But it still hurts him in the locker room and then on the field with all this talk.

Herm Edwards is LOVING the Raiders this year

“The Nation is back! . . . I think the Chiefs will play well too, but these guys, they are back! The Nation’s back! 8-8!” (Honest Edwards quotes should include lots of exclamation points.)

Haha.

I guess he had to put that comment in about the Chiefs so he doesn’t look petty.

Meh.

We all just need our football fix, preferably in the form of a game that counts in the standings.

Well, hey since this is a DLD

Some love from an unlikely source. Says the Yankee fan to the so-called Red Sox Nation:

Everyone knows there is only one nation, …Raider nation. The nerve of you people. What’s next. Are you going to start calling Beckett the Big Unit.

You’re just Red Sox fans, that is all. It’s Raider nation, it’s Yankee Universe, and The Cowboys are America’s team.

Go get your own Nick Name.

I laughed.

Yeah, the post did say "oldie but a goodie"

which led me to believe it had been said before. I just happened to see it today, though I hope not to have to explain why I was on the Yankee site in the first place.
