He commented on his injury today? What was said?

“I can’t put a percentage on it,” Stafford said. “I’ve got to take it day by day, see how it’s doing — if I can move around and go out and play.”


“Just a sprain, I guess,” he said. “It’s kind of in a weird spot. We’re treating it, doing the best we can, to get it as healthy as possible for a chance to play this week.”

This week’s Sports Illustrated catches up with JaMarcus Russell to find out how the 2007 first overall draft pick views his failed career, now that he’s out of football at age 26. Among the details: Russell feels some ill will toward former coach Tom Cable, thinks his teammates deserve as much blame as he does for the Raiders’ problems, and says the reason he had trouble staying awake in team meetings is that he has sleep apnea.

“In the NFL, my first year, I had to be there at 6:30 [a.m.] before practice and be on the treadmill for an hour,” Russell said. “Then meetings come, I sit down, eat my fruit. We watch film, and maybe I got tired. Coach Flip [quarterback coach John DeFilippo] pulled me aside and said, ‘What are you doing for night life?’ I said, ‘Coach, I’m just chilling.’ He said, ‘I need to get you checked out.’ I did the sleep test, and they said I had apnea.”

The Raiders went 7-18 in the 25 games Russell started, and he says it upsets him that he’s always singled out as the reason the Raiders were losers during his three-year tenure with the club.

“Things weren’t going right, and it felt sometimes like everything fell back on me,” Russell said. “I take some responsibility, but I was one guy. . . . I may have missed a throw, but I didn’t give up 42 points, I didn’t miss a block.”

Russell also said his coach, Tom Cable, betrayed him by blaming him for the Raiders’ problems.

“I stuck my neck out for him,” Russell said of Cable. “Didn’t complain when he benched me as the starter. Didn’t complain when he called the same plays five damn times. Didn’t [badmouth] him to other coaches. When the [media] asks me, I say, ‘He’s a good coach, a good guy.’ Then I hear he says I was the worst thing ever happened to the Raiders, if it weren’t for him we’d be in the playoffs?”

If Russell thinks this kind of interview is going to rehabilitate his public image, he’s wrong. The best thing Russell could do now is own up to his failings as the Raiders’ quarterback. Or say nothing at all.

I personally believe JaMarcus is perhaps the worst player to ever enter the NFL, but I must attest to the fact that Sleep Apnea can fuck your day up.

Any SoCal GAFers planning to go to Packers-Chargers on Nov. 6? This would be my first real chance to see a Packers game within driving distance, but it's looking like nosebleed seats start at $200 each.

Quite a different story from when I saw Chargers-Chiefs last year and literally walked up to the gate and bought great 50-yard-line seats at face value...

Philly over Dallas. Andy Reid is 12-0 after the bye, not going to end vs this Cowboys team. Safest bet in football.

There is a negative percent chance the Eagles win. Dallas has way to good of a D.

Is....is he making the ball levitate just outside of his hands? I guess Carson's spent his off-time honing his latent psychic abilities.

After a certain amount, it's no longer a "stash." I wish I was joking, but the guy had a friggin' warehouse! Carson actually looked sleep deprived. Maybe he's on meth. Fattest meth head ever, though.

I am shaken to my core from the Ravens performance last night. Kyle Boller 2.0 is not elite, and I'm not even sure if we'll have a chance against Arizona next week.

Note:
When we win on Sunday, I'll be all in once again. Emotional fan.

Stop making fun of Flacco guys. Hes one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Road to redemption for the Eagles starts this week. Expect them to win at least 10 games propelling them to a playoff berth.

NFC playoff picture:

Packers
Saints
Giants
49ers
Eagles
Who cares.

Nice guys finish last, so it fits. It's also why Ben has 2 rings.

What justifications do you have for this claim? Most of my friends in Baltimore have ran into him before and the general consensus is he was a self-righteous, self-loving douchebag. He was described as a "Michael Phelps" level douchebag, who I ran into a number of times during my tenure in Baltimore, and that is one of the worst insults one can endure.

I am worried for you after the humiliation Ben is going to cause the Ravens next week.

When you can't handle the pain remember two things that will keep you off the ledge. One, at least you dont live in Wisconsin. Two, you will always have 1999 or whatever year the Ravens made parole and went all the way.

As the winless Dolphins prepare to start another coaching search – with their eyes apparently on former Super Bowl-winning coaches Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden – Miami fans should be aware that the feeling is mutual. Both Cowher and Gruden have quietly planted seeds that they would like to return to coaching and are more than open to listening to an offer from Miami owner Stephen Ross. According to two sources in and around the team, former Dolphins quarterback and current CBS studio analyst Dan Marino has been telling Dolphins management that Cowher, an analyst partner, is geared up for a return. Cowher is also close with Ross confidant Carl Peterson. As for Gruden, he was in Miami for a Monday night game in the opening week and told more than a few folks that he’ll be ready to go next offseason.
