FTRsports.com’s ‘Send Matt Leinart to Oakland’ Campaign, Show Your Support

Matt Leinart is now officially up for trade, and as a true football fan, I want to see him go to the worst run franchise in the business. He started his career in California, so let’s bring him back. Heck most USC fans are probably residents of Raider Nation anyway.

Show your support and check out all the work we’re putting into making this happen.

Biggest Bust in NFL History Busted with Purple Drank

Just when you thought JaMarcus Russell couldn’t get worse, he goes and gets busted for possession of codeine syrup at his Mobile, Alabama home on Monday. Popularized by Southern rappers and teenagers who can’t legally buy liquor, purple drank, as it’s called, is used to get high, but also causes weight gain.

I’m guessing Russell has been drinking this stuff forever. It’s probably why he’s 300 lbs and can’t remember the playbook.

Russell was released by the Oakland Raiders this spring, and was hoping to get picked up as a backup QB or lineman over the summer. I doubt anyone wanted him before, but maybe now that he has a drug problem, the San Diego Chargers will be interested.

8th Pick Oakland Raiders

With the 8th pick the Raiders select LB Ralando McClain.  He’s a good player….He’s getting drafted about 8 picks early, but I guess the Raiders are to good to trade down.

Tom Cable Sighting on CNN

Looks as though CNN has inadvertently broken the Tom Cable being fired from the Oakland Raiders.

Rumors of new head coach interviews have been pouring out of Oakland for the past couple of weeks. It’s as though a 13 year old girl with turrets and an addiction to social media is in charge of keeping secrets within the Raiders’ front office.

The latest possible candidate was rumored to be Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh, who probably ran away laughing at the opportunity. Who would leave a cushy low expectation job that pays like Stanford to coach a bunch of crappy draft picks with Al Davis breathing down your neck yelling at you about how great JaMarcus Russell is.

JaMarcus Russell is the biggest bust since Charles Rogers, who is probably washing a police car in an orange jumpsuit in Michigan right about now.

Rich Gannon’s Charity Tossed Aside by Rotting Corpse

Rich Gannon was the last good thing to happen to Raider Nation, and Al Davs wouldn’t know it even if they did have cable in purgatory. It’s widely been rumored that Al Davis is scientific proof that the human body could survive without a brain, and Rich Gannon is probably the latest believer in that rumor. Gannon led the Raiders to a Super Bowl berth in 2002 when he was league MVP.

On Wednesday, Rich Gannon contacted the Raiders to offer his support, in any fashion, to help draft bust, JaMarcus Russell, get better prepared for next season. Al Davis responded with “you need the help, not us”.

Raiders fans put up a billboard a couple months ago, which we mentioned here on FTR, but maybe their money would have been better spent on Dodger season tickets, and stock in Tecate.
