Oakland Raider News: What Do We Know Right Now?

PrintAs the dust settles from yesterday's rumbler, a few things have become clear:
1) Reggie McKenzie has complete control over the Oakland Raiders:
Mark Davis was adamant that Reggie will oversee the football team, as he termed it, "The football side of the house", while Mark turns his eye toward the stadium issue and the operational side of things.
2) The Raiders will hire a Head Coach regardless of whether they are an offensive or defensive mind and Head Coaching experience is not a requirement:
This appears to me to be an endorsement of current Green Bay Packer Linebackers Coach, Winston Moss. At this point Moss is the worst kept secret in the NFL. Moss is Reggie's guy and it would take a huge push from Jon Gruden or someone of his standing to take the reigns of Oakland's team on the field.
3) Mark Davis made the trade for Carson Palmer:
In yesterday's Press Conference, Mark Davis stepped up and took responsibility for the trade that sent two high draft picks (1st in 2012 and 2nd in 2013) to Cincinnati for Carson Palmer. He also took responsibility for the hiring of Reggie McKenzie, going as far as saying, "I waited 3 months to get my guy".
4) No job is safe in Oakland:
McKenzie said that every facet of the organization will be looked at, all the way down to the guys checking the tickets and parking the cars.
5) Al Davis is still alive and well in Alameda:
When Mark Davis was answering the question about his father leaving plans behind for how to run the organization, the light mysteriously went out and the screen for the projector started to come down. Seriously. I have not heard the answer for why that happened, but, to me, Al was about to show everyone his plan.
So, what else do we know after yesterday's conference call?

Shit is about to get interesting
Going to pay a lot more attention to my Raiders this offseason

The lights going out and projector screen coming down was some freaky stuff
Maybe all those jokes about Al being the Crypt keeper were correct lol.
You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.
It was probably just someone leaning against the switches on the wall,
but if you guys want to have Al’s poltergeist fantasies go ahead.
"Now I know what your thinking, did he fire six shots or only five. Ive forgotten myself in all this excitement, but being that this is the 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and could blow your head clean off, you have to ask your question. Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk!"

Maybe it was Al leaning against those switches…dun dun dun
"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and f*ck -ups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get f*cked... Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in **** and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits"

As was Mark's "Is this Candelstick?" line

This is great to see....
I was worried that Marc Davis was going to sell the team when Al died. It’s nice to see that he cares about trying to win. Go Raiders!!
Of course the Palmer trade was completed by Davis
I’m sure Hue fully endorsed and orchestrated the deal and did the leg work on it. What I don’t understand is where was Madden and Herroch when this was going down? You would think they would have advised Davis to lessen the price a bit before pulling the trigger on that one but maybe everyone got caught up in winning this season for Al.
I thought Mark spoke well overall and I’m happy he wants to keep the team and carry on his father’s legacy in his own way…but dude…seriously…get an adult haircut….stop bringing in a picture of Pete Rose and asking for the same.

I believe Mark is single.
He needs a woman (or a man, if he’s gay) to tell him to get a better haircut.

I like all this
I watched the press conference and like what I saw and heard. I was pretty sure going into this thing that HJ was gone and Reggie would want to do his own thing. The whole front office deal with the Raiders has been like a mystery for my whole life, pretty much Als way or the highway, that was fine and did net results on occasions, championships and playoffs etc. The last several years have been driving me freaking nuts and have really made me believe we did have a need for a coventional front office to be established for this team to get into the next level of modern era NFL football operations.
We needed a GM, Now we have Reggie Mckenzie, a man who has gained respect through out the league while being part of a franchise that is also highly respected throughout the league. He will now get a staff started under him and get this thing moving toward getting a head coach that will be here for the new dynasty we are embarking on. I see this as the most intriging thing to happen to this team in ages. I believe we will see player contract negotiations to make room in the salary cap. I know we will see players get the boot and of course I see trades coming. Something Mckenzie mentioned that struck me and got my attention about players was his mindset about skill levels, but also about the players course of action both on and off the field as a person. This is something that has always been on my mind with the Raiders and something you see through the league. When one key player screws up off the field in his personal life the effect it has on the team. We got to see this first hand with the McClain issue, we have seen it before with Barret Robbins and it cost us a superbowl.
I really do believe we have a guy that will get this Raiders organization going in the correct direction. I’m sure it will take a little time to get to a Superbowl Championship, but remeber that the AFCW is up for grabs and we had a team this year that could have made it. I do believe we will atleast make that goal next year.

Our great city leaders here in Oakland
should find a way to make the team happy and help build a first-class stadium for all to enjoy! Raiders in any other city, is like Packers in another city; it just does not compute as authenticity? It disrupts the natural order of the universe/Nation! Go (I mean stay) Raiders!!!!
Always a Raiders fan, whether on the moon, LA, Timbuktu, Santa Clara; just that, Oakland and Raiders are synonymous to most of the nation and the Nation. We in the Bay Area are steeped in winning traditions. Now that we are starting a new chapter without the iconic Big Al; it is time for the city fathers/mothers (no pun intended) to step-up! One of the entities (municipality or team) need to utilize the strength of meekness and offer a mea culpa, and keep this show right here in the Towne.
A team that was built while they were in Oakland
and L.A. benefited from the resulting product.

True, rambis64.
Also, the same dynamics of a transient fanbase is still prevalent in what is known as the LA market. Mayor Quan has an opportunity to put her stamp on an enterprising bonanza during her tenure, by building a new home, here, for the team, where they belong.

Wo wO Wo
Settle down girls if it wasn’t for the Raiders in L.A. I would never know what it was like to be a Raider or would I?
I was 12 years Old when they got here and hated the Lambs But was a cowboy fan foe unknown reasons.
That all changed when the Raiders came to L.A and I knew where my allegiance lied
With all that said I would like them to stay in Oakland its been almost 20 years since they left so the feeling for me is that I am Raider wherever the may play or reside but the belong in Oakland we all know this. The great team should stay where the great legendary owner is memorialized.
Anyways Raiders for life here.

I Followed Them To LA...Stayed In Pico Rivera....5640 Rosemead Blvd...LoL!!!...Nice Neborhood!!
But was at all the games and loved it!!!
"Tebowphobe"!!!
the Raiders are Oakland and Oakland is the raiders , we were san fran's red headed step child till we won that super bowl , im not sure how many remember when the raiders and a's started bringing world championships to Oakland
no matter the cost the city needs to find a way to build a state of the art facility to keep it’s teams , if the a’s and raiders never came to oakland no one would even know it was there , and they moved back for a reason , the location is great the trains drop you there from everywhere , i know multi use stadiums are out of style , but instead of moving in with the 49ers or to LA where nodambody loved them , build the most bad ass multi use stadium ever built and keep the a’s and raiders at home , i remember the night we were superbowl champs , it was crazy , oakland did the same thing theyre doing now , nothing till they forced the raiders hand and lost them , what losing the raiders or the a’s would cost them way more than a stadium , build it
It is a shame the U.S. econmy is tanked and Cali is broke as a joke
Hopefully the Raiders can form a plan to get the city to save some cash for for a stadium project in Oakland and the Raiders stay at the O while this happens, The city freaking promised them to work towards a long term agreement and a new venue. They should live up to their side of the bargain and now that the G4 loan is out there it is a huge thought.
As the old saying goes it is cheaper to keep her.

Hopefully they move to LA so I can watch them. I'm pretty sure if they move there they will get a piece of the LA market right?
The Chargers have no business getting a piece of the LA market. Raider games should be televised down here.

Also that O.Co looks like a dump. Nothing flashy. Low revenue. No celebs (high revenue/endorsments/celeb influence).

It's still an upgrade over the non-existant
so called-coming soon stadium in L.A. that I’ve been hearing about for at least a decade.

That's because a team won't commit to a concept that may not happen
Too much politics when it comes to a stadium in Los Angeles…multiple plans and bidder, several locations discussed, off the top of my head I’ve heard proposals for stadiums in Irwindale, Dodger stadium’s parking lot, Hollywood Park, next to Staples Center, City of industry, Carson, the Coliseum or Rose Bowl… They had 2 NFL teams already there they would not build a stadium for, and the NFL committed an expansion team that is now in Houston there. No team has committed to moving to L.A. because ultimately there is nothing to move to.

no only city of industry and downtown LA are possibilities
I live 25 mins from both and they are prepping the sites and are just waiting for the green light. the holdup is since both stadiums are privately funded they want 25% of the team for building the stadium. I want the Raiders in LA but i do not want any change in ownership. I rather have the Raiders pay them a lump sum (either cash or some form of residual) for reimbursement of the stadium. Its a win win for both sides except the people living in Oakland. Since I live in LA I can tell you everyone here wants the Raiders back BAD
Yes, there are possibilities
but there are also complications. Right now the NFL is still using L.A. as leverage for teams around the country to improve their stadiums…Minnesota, Buffulo, SF, Oakland, SD, Jacksonville, StL, but no owner has jumped at the terms those groups are putting out there no matter how favorable. The most favorable and currently most viable solution at this point is for the Raiders to share the Santa Clara stadium with the 49ers. That’s why the 9errs put language in their agreement which has the potential to share the stadium. As of now, those processes are in motion, and will probably be built well before an L.A. stadium cound be completed without a team committed to moving.
I think untimately the NFL wants the Raiders and 9errs to share a stadium and the Chargers to move to L.A. to maintain the market.
"Today I step into the shoes of a great man, a man by the name of Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho."
Those guys will never get the Raiders to L.A. if them being part owner is part of the deal
Mark (just like Al) is not going to sell part this team just to get a new stadium.
That’s what Mark meant by there are offers on the table…but nothing we like, part ownership is a deal breaker.

Dirty Harry Callahan
I agree and Mark has no shares to sell to any L.A. group
Al Davis already sold off some shares of the team while remaining the Majority owner but do not have any to give out to make a deal workable.
That is what I heard Mark would have to sell the team.
I also heard he might have to sell the team if his mom passes because he can not afford the inheritance tax.
According to the L.A. Times the League and owners want Mark out of the owners circle..

i personally dont want a downtown stadium
i rather have industry. NFL already said a DT stadium will not have a parking lot and no tailgating so no superbowl will be hosted there. Industry will have a huge parking lot along with many new shops surrounding it. that will have the real sb experience
YUP
AEG is in bed with ESPN and the chargers even if Mark was so cal dreaming AEG is not workable for the Raiders.
Only Roskis plan but it is very complicated deal. Team pays for the stadium then gets the surrounding land, They cant get the G4 loan that is out the window no for relocation’s. Roski needs to pony up if he wants a team on his lot. But who knows what kinda deal making goes on behind the scenes. Nobody will really know anything until it happens
I know AEG was counting on that loan as well so I wonder what will happen with their finance plan.
In 10 years I betcha after all this L.A. will still be empty amd grand crossings will probably then into a cemetery because the housing development is not moving at the moment.
Oh the fun of speculating, All i really want is some more Lombardi trophies for the Raiders. Screw the stadium hehe

Even if a team commits and an agreement is made between the two parties, they would need the League's approval....&I would think the approval would come in the way of a whole lotta Money..
The greedy NFL will wait as long as it wants until the price is right. And I bet they make plenty of money from LA by way of television, marketing, etc. Side note, Farmers ins is offering the same amount ($700 mil) for naming rights as the price Houston outbid LA for the last franchise…LA = dollar signs for the league. Another side note…NFL just recently declared LA as Chargers market probably to spite Al Davis. Its a no brainer CBS woukd have higher ratings if they were able to televise Raider games as opposed to the dolts.
i don't think its fair for the fans in Oak if they leave. However Oak will never get the funding for a stadium.
Growing up near LA, I’ve seen so many proposals and promises fade. It wasn’t fair to Al. If his son can make it happen soon, it would be great news. Selfishly, I would like to see them in Industry. I ’m familiar with the area and it would be a great place to tailgate. Also, its not in the ghetto. Im just afraid that if a deal is made, the NFL will block it or make it too expensive to happen. I think they still have a gripe with the Davis empire.

Freaked Out
I freaked out when I saw the screen coming down. I figured they were going to bring out the overhead projector next!
Seriously, I am really worried about LA again.
I'd be so upset if the team moves back to LA
I really hope we can get a new stadium around here, because I think this season proved that the fans will show up if the team doesn’t absolutely suck. Not that hometown fans got rewarded with good play in a lot of the home games this season. But they showed up anyway.
Again
I can’t go through it again. Had season tickets, was part of the Monday Night protest (Take 5 AL), bought a PSL when they came back and have been season ticket holder. They leave again, I burn everything and root for someone else.

I've been following the team forever
Did all you did. But would still follow them in LA. It’s not about you or me. It’s about competing. Can you honestly say the Raiders are in a good situation in Oakland? You have to be kidding? If I were Davis, I’d be very open to alternatives.
I’m hoping for a shared stadium in Santa Clara, though I think they’re headed back to LA.
I'd still be a Raiders fan, for sure
They were in LA the first half of my life. But I’d still be pissed, maybe in large part that this current stint in Oakland, especially since I’ve been old enough to afford to go to games on my own, has been the worst stretch the franchise has seen. Culminating in the last game I had the opportunity to go to, being probably the worst Raiders game I’ve ever witnessed. A 45-0 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. So disgusted was I at that game that I’ve not had the stomach to return, and I’ve saved the ticket, only to be burned once the Raiders finally make the playoffs again.
So yeah, Oakland isn’t a good situation right now, but it’s a hole the Raiders dug for themselves by being the laughing stock of the NFL for 7 years. Love the team, but I just want to see them return to greatness where the belong and where I can see them.
On the other hand, if they did move to LA I’d never have to worry about blackouts. I just have to hope that the games got carried locally.
I thought that way when Al left LA...
But the loyalty remained. I’ve seen so many plans wither away…i can say OAk will never get a new stadium built. I was upset when the bucs built that stadium with the Pirates theme. That was supposed to be us. I pictured every seating tunnel had a talking skull above that welcomed you (like the pirates of the carribean ride just before the dropout), each end of the stadium shaped like a wicked pirate ship, etc.
The fact that Mark would openly acknowledge a move to LA as a possibility
Makes me nervous… Plus, what’s he trying to accomplish there? Pressure Oakland? Thats not happening. It sure isnt going to excite oakland raider fans.
I’ve said it before. it is share with the Niners or goodbye Nor Cal. Nobody else is building a stadium for us and Mark sure as hell didn’t sound like he was going to open his checkbook to sacrifice one dime.
by lchristmas on Jan 11, 2012 2:25 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
I don't think Mark has the money
even if he wanted to. I’m pretty sure he isn’t particularly independently wealthy beyond the Raiders.
I don’t really care if they move – either way it’s still 14 hours whenever I want to see a game – but let’s sort the stadium sitch soon.

I hear that and if I were a long-distance fan I might feel the same way
But the heart of the far-flung Raider Nation beats in Oakland. For supposed Raider fans to come on this board and root for that heart to be torn out is very offensive to me.
I realize if they did move to LA lots of fans would follow and not miss a beat. I would bear them no ill will but I would not do it.

"I own the Oakland Raiders"
Is a pretty good sales pitch if you are looking to get a note for stadium financing. If Mark wanted to put some skin in the game, he could. And he would have no trouble paying it back.
But that isn’t how it’s done nowadays.
OAKLAND Raider fans really need to embrace sharing with the Niners because that is as well as we’ll do.
by lchristmas on Jan 11, 2012 3:42 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
I'm fine sharing a stadium.
I don’t see any problem with that. I don’t even hate the Niners like a lot of Raider’s fans. I liked the well enough when they had Montana and Rice and then Young and Rice. They’ll never be as cool as the Raiders, and I find some of their fans unbearable, but I’ve really nothing against the team other than they’re just kind of lame when compared to the Raiders.
I'm with you ...
I’d be bummed on a SC move, but as long as they can maintain the name Oakland Raiders and not be too far to drive from the Bay Area … I can tolerate it. I also feel the exact same way about the Niners. Hell, at least they’ve STUCK AROUND the part of the world I call home (although I now live in AZ), I’ll give ‘em that. And pretty much the whole time the Raiders were gone, the 49’ers were … frankly, an awesome team … so I gradually warmed up to them a bit over those years, and I always rooted for them in the SB’s, cause they were Bay Area man. Can’t root against Bay Area in a big game like that.
I’m actually torn this weekend cause I really do like the Saints, but shit the 9’ers have sucked as long as we have … and among the peeps in those stands will be some dear friends of mine … and it’s the first Bay Area playoff game in 9 years.

Using the L.A. deal to put pressure on Oakland is a good negotiating tactic and I don’t blame Mark for using it.
"Now I know what your thinking, did he fire six shots or only five. Ive forgotten myself in all this excitement, but being that this is the 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and could blow your head clean off, you have to ask your question. Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk!"

Now McKenzie rules the Raiders iron fist
This offseason so unpredictable that I am unsure whether to be happy or afraid of the next moves McKenzie will make next.
Proud to be a brony.
Funny, I was just over at the Raider site and they're (naturally) trying to sell season tickets. Then I looked to see who was still
on the coaches list .. every last mo fo of them except Hue. Bottom Line: I won’t buy season tickets till I can estimate the product and that will depend on who the HC, DC, Trainers (our’s are right out of Steven King) etc.

God you guys should read these brainless niners fans comments about the raiders in SF Gate possible move to L.A. They are rooting for anything but the raiders playing in Santa Clara.
One guy asked is San Diego even in in cali and how do they get get public money for a stadium and the niners don’t lol.
Didn’t the niners just take advantage of that small little city south and pillage its local people and the banks out of 800 million?

I started this yesterday, and finished it this morning. This is a new take on the Autumn Wind, and reflects how I feel about the Raiders right now!
The autumn wind is changing, the pirates are heading back out to sea, with a will in their eye, a spring in their step, they set the sails for victory.
His ship is weather beaten, but his cannons set to attack. He rallies his men, positioned to win, and lets everyone know, “We’re Back!”
There is a groan throughout the country, a new fear of the villian of old. And the League quietly shakes and quiver and quakes, trying to hide their gold.
The autumn wind is a Raider, ready to pillage once again. Riding the seas of change, rest assured the time is now, with laughter and cries of “JUST WIN!”

I understand why McKenzie would want to bring in his own people and I believe he has Moss in mind. But is he just bringing in a sycophant, orwill it be someone who will stand up and fight for his options? I don’t know.
Still think it’s foolish to keep replacing our head coaches. Ever worked somewhere where the boss is replaced every year? Sucks. Esp if your career is only 3-10 years.
Looks like we are in for some more ‘building’ seasons.

man…just another year of a unproven coach…with Hue we has someone with passion…he had a lot on his plate…not his fault…I will say I’m going to be a huge fan of getting players in here that play hard…who don’t walk off the field…but jog…players who get the team hyped for the game…personal wise I think we will be going in the right direction…but still felt Hue deserved 1year…I’m just not sold on brining in someone from GB on the Defense side since they are ranked 32nd in the league in YPG…not sure they will fix what’s wrong…I will say that a 3-4 will help tons…so maybe that will be the answer…I’ll be happy with a top 15 D…
Can everyone just stop with the 3-4 change nonsense?
The weakest part about our defense is our LB core while the strongest is our DL, so why the hell would we swap to the 3-4? If anything, we should switch to the 5-2. I have been preaching we run this formation from the start of the year, mainly because we still had Groves as a starter, but also because of our depth at DL (pre-Shaughnessy injury). Now we have a possible prospect in Curry to play besides McClain (or hopefully someone else) while Wimbley gets converted to DE. This puts more pressure on the LBs to shoot the right gap, which is why I really hope we ditch McClain. But it also provides immense pass rush and, assuming your LBs commit to their gap, blows up holes in the run game before they can get open. Just a thought, but there is no logical reason why the 3-4 would work for us. Especially when we have nobody even close to the size of a proper NT.

What Could Be And What Will Be???
If you look at the list of recent failures who were pimped as great hires it hilarious!!!
Mike Singletary
Todd Hailey
McDaniels
SOB-Rex
Who did I miss???
Hue wasn’t pimped by anyone but did as well as these…
Meanwhile the list of recent success is rather short…
Harbah…
So at this point in time it’s impossible to project what our 2012 season will even be like…It could very well be a total disaster…It could very well be a triumphant “V”!!!…But what are the odds???
If the “O” is designed around our young core of players on the current roster we will not miss a beat…We now have the pieces in play to be competitive…But if this roster doesn’t fit the dreams of the new regime than we be doomed until it does…That could be a very long time??
Same can be said for that “D” roster…These players have demonstrated an ability to play very well…They have also far too often demonstrated NO will to win!!!…The right “DC” could make them a very competitive unit his 1st season…But the wrong approach will leave us in a rebuilding mode searching for talent??
For me I rather like what Reggie is pimping in this regard…As a 10th rd pick he knows that a great deal of good but cheap talent gets swept under the carpet and out of the NFL…He will dig threw this rubble and search for gems amongst "UDFA"s/Waver Wire/semiretired players because they didn’t make a roster…
This is a start:
01/09/2012 Signed RB Rashawn Jackson to a Reserve/Future contract
01/06/2012 Signed QB Rhett Bomar, DE Hall Davis, DB Curtis Taylor to reserve/future contract

I'll tell you what I do know.
Mark Davis don’t know shit about Football. I find that rather disturbing, because his father had one of the greatest football mind of all time. After watching the interview, I can see why Al kept Mark out of the limelight when it came to the Raiders. Apparently, Mark Davis doesn’t like football and didn’t listen to his father that loved to talk football. If Mark did love football, his football IQ should off the charts. It’s not a good thing for an owner to not like football. He’ll be a cheap ass owner, and move the team to LA, just to make more money.
Rome is burning!!! The once great Czar is dead!!! The new clueless Emperor, with the Hamlet haircut, Killed the General, and now will move the army out of the North to the South, for a few bag of Persian gold. Just to get screwed over by the Persians in the long run, the dumb bastard
If Mark didn't like football
he’d be looking to sell the team and go live on the beach.
Al Davis was one of a kind and no one else has the sort of capacity to run a franchise from top to bottom the way he did. Mark will stay involved where he likes, but I like that he acknowledges that he isn’t a football brain but he’s happy to hire sharp minds (like Reggie) to manage football ops.

His belief and reality don’t translate to absolutes!!!
"Tebowphobe"!!!
He connected the fact that Mark wouldnt give him any assurances prior to the Chargers game with thinking Mark wanted him gone before he hired Reggie
I think it is more likely that Mark wasn’t able to give assurances based on the fact that either he had already spoken with Reggie or that he know he was hiring a GM who would have to have the power to make that call.
How could Mark possibly tell Hue he was staying on knowing that a GM was coming in with the hire/fire power it would be lying straight to his face.

There was some talk last week about Bill Cowher interviewing for the “SD” job…But that it was denied and Turner was retained…
Maybe Cowher was rejected because he wanted too damn much power and their “GM” wouldn’t relinquish any of his power???…Or $$$$$…
But if it’s a reality that Cowher did have conversations with “SD” than there’s hope that he may be talking to us….That’s the one name that would get me highly excited at this point and he’s free NOW!!!

Round Trip Air Is About $700-$750 To Bangkok Thailand...
You get 30 days stay on arrival…Than you have to go out and check back in for free and get 14 more days as often as you like…
To check out in Cambodia it will cost 1,000 to 1,500 B…$30-$50…But you can go to Phnom Penh and extend the 1 month visa for 12 additional months multiple entry for $280…This give you a Khmer Visa for 13 month and you can come and go as often as you like during that time…
To rent a motorbike is $4-$6/day….Food is cheap and so is beer…My beach condo is only 4,000 B a month…$125…The single door condo is half that…You can also rent an apartment outside Bangkok very cheap…1,500 to 3,000 B/mo…$50-$100….This can be used as a base camp to travel from and store whatever you need to keep safe…
Life is very easy here…There are many who speak English…Bus service is cheap and frequent in Thailand while daily in Cambo…$5-$6 per one way trip almost anywhere…Also car rental in Thai and taxi/Tuk-Tuk…
The biggest thing is to stay away from all the scammers who want your $$$$….If a taxi/tuk-tuk driver takes you somewhere the price is up because he gets his cut and they will jack it double to get as much from you as possible…So it’s better to find out where something is but have them drop you off walking distance away and then go on your own….Don’t believe the guy who says for a fee he will show you around or he’s just a friend and will show you everything…Your buying and he’s getting his cut…

I'm Planning A Trip Back Towards The End Of April...After The Big New Years Party....
It lasts 5-7 days prolley from 4/15 to 4/21…That’s the “Water Festival”….Thaid’s only get off on it for a day or 2 but Cambo goes nuts for a week or 2 before…
If your here before I leave we could prolley meet up in Thai or Khmer???

I was planning August.
Maybe I should move it up to April – depends on my leave from work though. Since I actually like my job and all I don’t want to lose it.

Except for the suit, he looks and sounds like the guy next to the liquor store who asks me for change every morning.
And who the fuck told Mark that was a good look? Bad decisions already! Not hating, just calling it like I see it.
Girlfriend: So the guy who catches the ball is the catcher, right?
Me: No. They are called wide-receivers. Catchers play baseball.
Girlfriend: Samething.

That's funny
Kiper doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about most of the time. I remember how he couldn’t stop praising Jimmy Clausen 2 years back and how great Carolina was going to be because of that pick and what a steal he was. Oh Kiper…
i remember he made a bet that if he was wrong with clausen he would quit...
i think that was it i dont know but im sure he made a bet. imma look it up. he aint a man of his word!!

Cowher Might Just Be A Real Posibility???....If He'e Wanting To Return To Coaching Why Not OakTown...
About as high profile as it gets if he’s a winner right now….Think of all the credit he will gain!!!
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Cowher as head coach
Mike Martz as the O-coordinator? We have a immobile, accurate quarterback and speedy receivers. He could use Mcfadden like he used Faulk. Only problem is Boss becomes a $4-million a year blocking TE.
martz offense hasnt worked in a decade
i think hes done for a while. although he would be good in san fran
I don't think he had the WR's or O-line to make it work in Chicago.
San Fran and Detroit’s talent (excluding Calvin Johnson) was just unmentionable. I actually think we have the offensive speed and talent here to make his system work. The only downside is it supposedly takes longer than other system’s to master.
He said he's not returning to coaching
But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be talked into changing his mind.
I keep hearing that Cowher is waiting for the NY Giants job to open up,
he wants to stay on the east coast and we’re about as far away from there as it gets!
"Now I know what your thinking, did he fire six shots or only five. Ive forgotten myself in all this excitement, but being that this is the 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and could blow your head clean off, you have to ask your question. Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk!"
Dirty Harry Callahan
i dont think cowher would come here. i dont know if that changes with reggie but
i think hes bringin a guy from GB although he said a “winner”.

And as a Dolphins coach, he’s under current consideration there as well so:

You can see here at least who Dolphins fans prefer at this point.
It's just an interview.
He may be seeing what’s out there until his real candidates are available.
