If I had a Billion Dollars

We all sit here on this site and say "we should do this, do that" blah blah blah.
The truth is you never know until your actually sitting in the position. For example some people want JaCantWinBaby Gameless to get cut and just swallow the $10 million in guaranteed money left on his contract. Really? You would just give $10 million away like that to a guy who may (I swallow hard here) show us something IF he comes prepared to OTAs and training camp.
So we all sit here and speculate, although I think thats part of the whole site of S&BP and what makes it great.
But put yourself in the seat for real. Lets just say you had a couple billion or so sitting around and wanted to spend a good chunk of that to buy our-your beloved Raiders.
Share your moves, just 3 major ones don't give us full list. Before your type LAP I would set JaNoGameNoAim go, fire Cable and trade Fargas (rather than release him) to Minnesota for Adrian Peterson be Realistic...... please.
I really would like to hear the moves people would make. Think about the $$$ it would cost you to make said moves, the ramifications and reality of your proposed moves happening.
My major moves. Cut Kelly and Walker saving huge $$$ on the cap and sign more players in FA or draft that will take their places and pay less. THe WR corps in Oakland are full right now anyhow no need for Javon and that ridiculous contract. Try and trade up and Suh at #2 IF it's a reasonable trade like our #8 and a 4th rounder and 5th rounder. Sign Grad for 3 years $6 mill with $2 mill guaranteed, re-sign Frye for 1 year $500K or something.
I could sit here all day and go through the entire roster, FAs, draft possibilities and personnel moves but I just gave a quick thought of some major easy come to mind moves.
Oh yeah one other major move as owner make Herrera serve hotdogs in the blackhole on game day with a sign that says "I am the weiner king".
Remember you are the owner and list as many things as you want to do to make our Raiders better. Just don't go into some massive ranting, ridiculous and impossible changes.

So Im GM?
Awesome!
Id resign Thomas Howard, Bruce Gradkowski and Kirk Morrison
Id fire Tom Cable, and Hire Winston Moss. Defensive Coach out of Green Bay
Install the 3-4 Defense and sign and draft accordingly
Sad I could only name 3 haha. I guess this is why I play franchise mode on madded. Good post, Its nice to see something besides Draft and free agency news
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?

Actually
Your the owner and you can do more to the team, just be realistic and concise.
Win at all costs! Winning ugly is still winning! Remember the past and what got us to the top before. Jim Plunkett and winning ugly......enough said!

Hmmm
In that case. I would appoint Sons Of Blanda to GM, The guy is smart as hell. Add KA1Z3R to the staff as an assistant and slowly groom him to be the greatest defensive coordinator in the history of the NFL. Creat plans to build a better stadium just outside of San Fran. Still in Oakland but closer to the city. Punch Randy Hanson in the dome and tell him to deal with it. Then fire him of course. Umm, What else? Oh, I’ll name the next staduium after Al Davis. He’s an OG and nothing he can do can ruin his legacy as an Oakland Raider

I'd take Sons for GM, and add KA1 for sure. No doubt they'd be more successful than the one we have...
Punch Randy Hanson in the dome and tell him to deal with it. Then fire him of course. Umm, What else?
lmfao! some guys just make you want to punch a face, do they not?
Something tells me they knew keeping him on staff would help with the impending civil suit they knew would follow; Randy has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning anything under the circumstances, and could’ve left himself susceptible to countersuit.
"If your only ambition in life, is to be a better person; well, that's just the best ambition you can have..." Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew
Realistic moves eh? This should be fun for me.
1. Release Warren, Kelly is a bit more consistent. Kelly also must restructure.
2. Release Walker as mentioned above.
3. Release JaMarcus. I wouldn’t wait to pay out all his guaranteed money. Just get it and him over with now.
4. Sign Grad to a contract like the one mentioned above.
5. Snoop around in free agency for depth on the O-Line and depth at LB, both spots are thin on depth.
6. Trade McFadden for a second round pick and a fifth. If this doesn’t work, trade for a third rounder and a fourth but go no lower.
7. Make sure hue Jackson has play calling duties ALL YEAR LONG!!!!
8. Get two backs in free agency. Bush will be the star while we play the Denver card and pick up whoever we can in free agency. Maybe even LT if we want, just for irony’s sake.
9. Draft time: 1st. round Do whatever we can to get in position to take Okung. We need him on our line. If not, get McClain, if this still fails then draft Dan Williams at DT.
2nd round (under assumption we got Okung): Brandon Spikes. Not much need for MLB’s in the NFL, well except for us.
3rd round (McFadden pick): Camaron Thomas. 331 pounds and a beast against the run. Your NT of the future made cheap. This to me is the sleeper pick of the draft.
3rd round: Syd’Quan Thompson. Say hello to your new nickel corner, thus pushing Routt to dime. Thompson should eventually jump CJ on the depth chart as our #2 corner.
3rd round (Oakland’s second original second round pick): Ciron Black. Unknown if he’ll last this long (unlikely) 331, he’s listed as an OT but I’d like to see what he can do competing with Carlisle and Langston for the starting guard spot opposite Gallery.
4th. round: Joesph Turner. If you watched TCU, you know how amazing Turner is at running back. With both McFadden and Fargas gone in my scenario, a do everything rotation back with Bush is key. Turner and Bush could be a great 1-2 punch.
4th round (mcFadden): Zac Robinson. Depth only, Robinson is mobile and has great accuracy. Who knows, perhaps he could make something of himself over time.
Past this point I just say draft best player available. All needs and even not needs have been met.

15 years young my man, and this me not having payed a lick of attention to the NFL all year long. I’ve been way too hooked on NBA and my girlfriend lol.
So over/under .500 record for that team? I consider it a playoff contender team and a future AFC West champion team (I give SD one more good year)

Hey, No one can blame you for the gf bro. I love women almost as much as I love myself. Which is alot hahaha As for SD, I think they have half a good year. Then I think us and KC are taking over
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
- Vince Lombardi
KC is very interesting. Last yar they made a lot of good moves, but the players couldn’t execute and they didn’t improve anywhere. I see more of the same from them really.
Denver to me will be a great team once Moreno really catches on. Can you say next Ronnie Brown? Especially behind that savage O-Line.
Evey- "Are you a crazy person?"

KC has made a ton of moves this year
All the Coaching hirings and stuff. Plus, With the draft and an actual GM, They can grab some actual talent. They mostly need an O-Line though. Denver is interesting, They started off scary good, but they choked as always. And now they might lose one of the better WR’s of the last few years in Brandon Marshall. Your right about Knowshon though, That OL should propel him to success

Awesome thing is

The thing with Denver though, is what if they end up with Dez Bryant in place of Marshall?

True
They’ll get Seatlles sixth so thats very possible. But I hear their DL is incredilby in need of a NT. Not anyone at 6 though worth taking. So yeah, Dez is great too.
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
- Vince Lombardi
NT doesn’t seem to big a need for them to me. They still had a terrific defense without one really. I look for them to round off their linebackers and secondary, which is getting very old with no future projects.
Evey- "Are you a crazy person?"
V- "I'm quite sure they'll say so."

Wow
So picking at 6 would be perfect for them. They have a shot at Haden and McClain. Thats almost as frusterating as watching Elvis Dumervil tear people up while being almost 3 inches taller. So depressing

NBA
Whos your MVP? LeBron or Durant?
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
- Vince Lombardi
I say Durant but everyone will pick LeBron cause he’s on a better team.
Durant to me would have just as good of stats on the Cavs and has made the Thunder a dangerous playoff team.
My sleeper team though is the Bobcats. They’ve beaten every contender team and have a devastating defense. Holding a healthy Heat team to 65 in a game? That’s scary.
Evey- "Are you a crazy person?"
V- "I'm quite sure they'll say so."
V for Vendetta, blowing your mind away since 2005.
Cant argue with picking LeBron though. He is the Cavs. Durant is doing something real impressive though. I dont even know about the Bobcats! I mean, Who do they have? Gerald Wallace? Hes good but not great. D.J. Augustin is someone to watch over there though
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
- Vince Lombardi
Bobcats
They have a solid team. Gerald Wallace is not just good, he’s really good. He brings it defensively and averages 18 points and over 10 rebounds. Stephen Jackson is motivated and he’s a good guy to have when he wants to play and win. D.J. Augustin is exciting. He killed us (Warriors) last night in the fourth quarter with us having played four games in five nights.
The team is not bad, but they’re not going anywhere. They’re good at home, so maybe they can sneak in a playoff win. In the end, it won’t matter. First, though, they have to get there. The Heat will get there if Wade is healthy with them having an easy schedule. The Bucks have separated themselves. It’ll be between Charlotte and Chicago for the final spot.

It has to be LeBron James
he’s a one man gang and the Cavs would be awful without him.
Tyreke Evans has to be the rookie of the year.
NBA Rookie of the Year
Oh, that’s a whole new debate. Stephen Curry’s incredible play since the turn of the calendar into the year 2010 should have people thinking twice about who to pick. In a nutshell, Evans had the better November and December while Curry had the better January and February. I could go on forever talking about this, so I’ll say that Evans is more than likely going to win the award; however, I do think Curry is the more complete basketball player and could have won this award had Monta Ellis been out of the picture sooner.

Tyrique Evans
Hes has to be the more well rounded player. I always seem him getting damn near close to triple doubles. I mean, I see alot of 22 Points 7 Boards and 8 Assists nights from this guy
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
- Vince Lombardi
Disagree
Curry is more well-rounded than Evans. They average the same amount of assists per game. Curry has the better basketball IQ. Curry has the better court vision, something very important for point guards. Curry is the better defender. Curry is the better shooter.
As far as rebounding goes, Curry averaged 4.4 respectively in December and January and 5.3 in February. Evans averaged 5.3 in December, 3.5 in January and 5.8 in February. Curry has closed the gap a little bit. Since the start of December, he has averaged 4.7 rebounds. Since the start of December, Evans has averaged 4.8 rebounds.
Curry is obviously the better shooter, but he’s been scoring at Evans’ rate lately with Monta Ellis out of the picture. Curry averaged 19.1 points in January and 21.5 in February. Evans averaged 20.7 points in January and 20.1 in February.

NBA MVP
It’s an easy pick. LeBron James should win it unanimously. To say Kevin Durant would have his stats is dumb if you ask me. You’re going to tell me that Durant would be averaging 8.5 assists per game while still maintaining a 30-point average? James is a better defender. Their true shooting percentages are almost identical with James at 61 percent and Durant at 60 percent.
James’ team isn’t even that good. Without him, they haven’t won a game in three years. Before acquiring Jamison, who was their second guy? Maurice Williams? Zydrunas Ilgauskas?

Well
I love everything except a few things
Instead of Brandon Spikes, Id take Sean Weatherspoon. If hes not there, Then go Spikes.
Cam Thomas is overrrated. He did absolutley nothing before the senior bowl. His size and good game has let him shoot up on Draft Boards
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
- Vince Lombardi
I would love Weatherspoon as well but it is very widely considered that Indy is a lock to nab him. And that makes a lot of sense since it will round off their defense.
Thomas to me could be something great under the tutelage of Mike Waufle while also learning from Seymour (who’s apparently been a great mentor to everyone else, most notably Shaughnessy and Bryant)
But that’s just me. Plus Thomas is the only DT with the right size for our NT that late in the draft who’s even decent. plus he’s an immediate starter which is very important for me.

Draft Picks
I’d take Price and Cody before Williams at defensive tackle and Zac Robinson sucked against Big 12 defenses without Dez Bryant.

basically the same thing for me only
I’d trade down, get a late 1st, late 2nd or 3rd. Get Bruce Cambell with the 1st(maybe it’s around 15-17th pick)
2nd(ours): Brandon Spikes
2nd round(47th-49th if it happens): Navarro Bowman
3rd: Cam Thomas
3rd(if that happens instead): either Dakota Watson or Jerome Murphy or J.D. Walton or Jeff Byers(he’s versatile that can play guard as well).
4th round: the our 4th round pick would be Andre Roberts(I know, a WR), he can block, very elusive and can make any kind of catch look easy, he came from the military and he is a hard worker. He may also be the best special teams returner I’ve seen in the draft.
Profile: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1662379?tag=pageRow;pageContainer
video highlights: (blurry a bit, but I suggest you watch the whole thing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An5rP_BiEdg
Then past that: best available OL, best available QB(i’ll post one up that looks very interesting), then best available DT(the QB and end can switch picks).
6th round QB: Levi Brown(pocket passer with accuracy and pocket presence)
Levi Brown Highlights in the bowl game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3pgLJdyBh0
6th round DT: Corey Peters. This guy has potential to be great. I remember looking at DT late in the draft for the pats, and I was not sure about Myron Pryor. But Myron is a late round beast. I think Peters can be beastly as well.
Peter’s Profile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqPurh587fU
I don’t care which one in the 7th.
Would anybody be angry if we got a WR in the 4th?
I’m really starting to like Andre. he seems like a jack-of-all-trades who can be a special team asset, and a great every down weapon(not exactly for the vertical gain, but for the screens, the reversals, the quick routes, etc.). He seems like a stud, and could further advance the options on our offense.
Not bad!
Agree with the Warren, Russell and Walker release
I wouldn’t trade DMac just yet when used correctly he could be a viable offensive weapon.
Hue would have full offensive control of play calling and player positioning.
Picking up LT would be AWESOME
As for trading anyone(Huff has some trade value he is in the final year of his rookie contract and last year was his only good year with the play of Branch and Mitchell I say try to trade Huff for a 2nd or third).
As for the draft:
I would love to trade down but,
I think McClain will be available at 8 he would be my pick in the off chance he isn’t Okung would be fine
The future is uncertain... and the end is always near. JMorrison
One obvious glitch - Okung is taken before us and no other O-lineman is worth our 1st pick (see new post). Like a lot of your picks
and thought processes, KAIZ3R. Lose DMac for picks – brilliant – I’ve seen enough to realize he doesn’t have “it” (Chris Johnson being the measure of “it” for RBs), Love McClain and Syd’Quan Thompson at MLB & LCB. Cam Thomas may be good enough for what we need most – the film on him (what there is of it) looks good. But prefer that we do what’s necessary to fix the D middle with either a DT or MLB right off with the 1st pick.

Signing Peyton Manning 1 we have a billion dollars, then we should fix our oline so he can be protected. and final hire a real coaching staff. Right now we have a bunch of players and coaches we don’t have a team. For every good player we have like 3 player like why is he on the team. Fix the oline in FA if one of the dt fall to us draft him cause linebacker, d backs are only as good as the dline in front of them. Draft mlb second round. I think if al allows a GM and his coaches to run the team. then we could have a shot. This team will not win until we get some unity

Peyton who? I’m all you need

I can’t wait until the season start so you all can see bruce for a whole season. instead of 3 games you know we play the afc south next year a division in which every team has a better QB than us. We are going to need more than a couple of 4th come back games to win. I really hope you are playing about your faith in Bruce, cause if you believe in him in 3 games you might think the santa fly from the north pole. You know we need a qb even David Garrard would be a big improvement for us.
I hope
That when you see JaNoAim LameAss blunder all over the field IF he can roll his tired, non-chalant, ill prepared, offensive lineman sized body onto the field and dribble the ball like he’s playing basketball and getting bounced by DEs, DTs and LBs like a pinball machine so you MAY FINALLY see how much he sucks. You and one other are the only blind ones that think after 3 years JaFarcAss is still capable of being an NFL calibre QB.

why do you think I am saying Russell is the answer I keep saying we need a QB or you don’t read that part
I see it if you don’t think Bruce is the answer you are stupid. I have a question you remember tommy maddox yeah he looked great only because he replaced Kordell Stewart. Bruce fits the same mold expect he only played 3 games. You guys act like he lead us to the playoffs no we wouldn’t have made a playoff run with him a qb. Because we didn’t have the coaching staff, oline, or an owner who will allow his team to blitz or build a team.
Better than JaNoHustle
Grad may not be the answer but he is better than Russell. You have made supporting statements for Russell. I never said if you dont believe in Bruce your stupid. Where did I say that? You take things out of context and add assumptions to your statements. Grad’s numbers are not great BUT he won us 3 games and showed way more guts, leadership and desire in 1 year than Russell has in 3 years. Give us another REASONABLE and POSSIBLE QB option that is a proven winner that will come and play in Oakland next year.
We all have said that the team needs a better defense with blitzing and we all have said we want to draft/sign OLinemen.
State some stuff that we have not talked about or offer some supporting opposing view points. We are just having fun. Is JaLamoNoPass your friend, client or sole support of financial income?

I have yet to see anyone say
definitively that we think Bruce can take us to the playoffs or that he’s probowl caliber. Everyone sees him as the one true light from last year. Yet, you bash him all the time and can’t ever give a real reason not to like the guy except to go against the norm for kicks. Much like xville. In fact, I wouldn’t doubt your xville in another name. And you have stated you want to give Russell another try. So that would discredit all your “we need a QB” comments.
Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!
Clown you can’t just let 10 million walk out the door. and get nothing just over one bad year. what do you think would have happen if the Titians allowed Young to walk not only would they have gave away money but then he would kick your but for the next 5 or 6 years. So based on what makes you think bruce can take us to playoff is a bigger question he has never lasted a whole season. never completed 60% of his passes. How the hell is he the true light Trevor scott, matt shaughnessy, Mitchell and huff improvement where true light because they played the whole year. I remember a few years ago Ricky Manning JR had a great playoff run but after that when teams planned for him it was over. I am not Bashing him I just don’t think he is the answer. My question to you is where is his body of work. You all have read the first sentence and think he a poet. but when someone question him you remix and others act like he is the one thing we are missing. You talk like he is so accurate but you fail to realize that 80% qb rating and you all jump the gun, not realizing he got a 100%qb rating for completing 2 pass for 17 yard and a 121 against the steelers.no other time did he get higher than a 80 this year. so in other words he is at best below avg. another fact out of the 29 games he has played only 5 times he thrown over 80%. I have giving you the facts so give me the reason we shouldnt bring in another qb.

Don't be a statwhore. It has no place with Grad
We know we have no blocking. We know we had young, very green receivers. We know the run game was inconsistent. Grad produced W’s, and gave us our best chance to win. The team responded to his presence, and played with more heart than we’d seen all season. I’d say that’s reason enough to win the starting job amongst the three guys we have on the roster.

one more thing it took superbowl MVP Drew Brees 5years until he turned the corner, but you wouldn’t know that because you live in the world of right now. I am not saying he is going to reach that level but to give him 10 million and allow him to reach that level on another team would just be dumb. You said it we don’t have a line so how can you blame everything on him. true he looked dumber than a box of rocks out there but until we start something called a team oakland will always look like a wasteland for the NFL. This team has 3 superbowl rings but how many times are those teams ever considered great. You can’t win in the NFL today with Talent alone. You say all that about russell but Bruce has been in the NFL long and have been kicked off worst teams than the raiders and has been less productive than Russell this year Hell he didn’t throw a touchdown until this year he went 2 whole season without throwing a touchdown. But everyone is jumping on the bandwagon why I am sure that some people on this website can throw better than russell right now I guess you them to be the QB too. I could agree if you said Bruce is a band aid for right now but you all act like we got tom brady in bruce sorry we got a backup out playing a Young QB thats it.
Wrong
He had some pretty good years in SD but they let him go because they had RIvers and there was a question about his shoulder.

It's the showing up fat. It's being last to arrive to practice and first to leave. It's lacking any true signs of leadership
and having the team respond to him. We all want him to succeed! We just are way beyond thinking it’s still possible.
"If your only ambition in life, is to be a better person; well, that's just the best ambition you can have..." Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew

Just talkinmg semantics. Brees is and was considered a pretty good QB before that. Even if he wasnt the palyer he is now we still was not nearly as bad as JaDribbles on his best day.

Again
the only person comparing Gradkowski to Brees is you. Funny, how behind the same oline that Russell had, Bruce actually produced. You can’t blame the Russell completely on the oline. Oakland does not look like a wasteland. In fact, especially when Bruce played, coincidentally, the defense was bright and showed up to win or keep the game close. The whole unit both sides of the ball functioned in sync with Gradkowski on the field. Had he played earlier I think we could have had a better record. A playoff team? Not yet. This season? Probably. What exactly is your problem with Gradkowski? You never mention that. Did he give you the evil eye on a TV once or something? Under Hackett he’s done well in Oakland. You can’t say that he’s not going to make it any more than we can say he will, but we have more proof to back it up watching him lead the team and make it run like it should last year. You’re just throwing out opinions with no reasoning at all. You’re the only one comparing him to top name QB’s, no one said he was Brees or Brady. So stop being an idiot and actually state a reasoning why you don’t like him, otherwise you’re just a troll.
Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!
If you all haven’t realize this a qb League if you don’t have one you won’t make it to the playoffs. every team that made it this year had a franchise qb so what makes you think we can with out one
Ok
Whats your point? You sit and are the jock support for JaBuffet and how he only had one bad year. Dude give it up you have no backers except the one other guy here that posts and is the agent of JaNeverWin

um....
didn’t the 49ers make the playoffs a couple years ago?
And not to mention the Jets got in the playoffs with a QB who was struggling all season. They got in. They just had a great running game and a great defense so I should think that if you can do one thing right on offense(ie. pass, run, or both) and have an above average defense, then you can make it. We don’t exactly have either, I know.
I also want to point out that just having a great QB will improve the team, not by his skills alone though. It’s all about motivation to win, and working together as a team to get better and play better.
In short, they need to get better as a team, and not just in one position.
Dont know if you know this or not
But Opposing QB’s, dont play defense. So saying that the AFC south has better QB’s than us hardly effects Bruces play
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?

I said realistic
Signing Peyton isnt realistic because he still with the Colts.

"The weiner king"
THat is freaking awesome
If we cut JaFukNut before camp then he only gets 3 million, not 10. So that is #1! His cap hit is 13 this year, and that is crippling us.
Javon’s restructured contract only pays him 2 million, and it is guaranteed whether we cut him of not, so let him stick around, cut him, who cares.
#2, I would get a a real football guy in to be the GM. As much as I enjoy “fantasy football”, an experienced guy should run football operations. Then the coaching decision could fall upon his shoulders, as it should. HEAR THAT AL!!!!
- Reach out to greats like Tim Brown and Jerry Rice to come in and take assistant coaching positions and show this team some leadership and give these young guys some direction.
#4, LOWER BEER PRICES!!!!
"We can't stop here... This is bat country."
+1 for the lower beer prices!
Also, provide better beer selection – the beer they currently offer has a sobering effect. Go for the double IPAs!

Hmm
- I would make damn sure that Hansen never darkened the door again, he is a crybaby cancer for the whole team.
- I would look to free agency for a solid veteran wideout that can come and not only make some plays, but mentor these young guys.
- I would offer JaBustus an ultimatum, produce or be terminated. Gradkowski would be named starter.
- I think Cable is a capable coach—-he has the ability to fire up the team, so I think I would go on the open market for some quality assistants. We have a glaring need for coordinators on both sides of the ball.
- In the draft, I would look hard at some key defensive talent—-mainly run-stuffing DL’s and a good cover CB.
And finally, I would turn over ALL the play calling to the place it should be—-the coaching staff.

That was gonna be my post, only it was gonna go something like this
a check, with the amount left blank, written to none other than:
John fucking Gruden! aka Chucky! and you know we’d have to pay WA a King’s ransom to entice Bruce Allen back with him, but getting Chucky would go a long way in sealing the deal.
I might add Gannon to the mix, just for fun, as some type of positional coach, or offensive coordinator. I miss that Raider team, and the W column.

That would the best thing to happen
Though I don’t think Gruden would come back to just be coach. I would first cut Jafatfuckingturdandwastedmoney. Cut or trade Kelly, Routt, Warren, & trade down in the 1st. I would make Gruden GM & allow him to hire the entire staff with anyone he wants like he had the oppurtunity to do back in 2001 but never got a chance to.
wow i wish i had more time to do this.so i’ll keep it simple.i would pull a mike ditka and trade draft picks for the next few season,we are young enough to bear it (no pun).i want OLT DT MLB in that order in this draft.move up to get suh ofcoure,and the best ballhawktackling machine MLB that i could.i would get rid of warren,kelly.routt,eugene.green is already gone a hopefuly so is——————————————————————————————- >Jafatfuckingturdandwastedmoney. @taw sorry bro but had to use it,it’s that funny"first saw it i was what the hell…lol."bruce all-mighty looks like his is ready to come out and be what this team has need in a QB for a minute.charlie fry was a plesant suprise.well my time is just about up so i’ll leave it to the nation to set me on their shoulder or grab me by belt and shirt as they throw me out the back door of my favorite bar………..
I really like this one, too!
Jafatfuckingturdandwastedmoney. @taw
it just kinda says it all really.
What say you nation? Do we have an official winner?
