^Ouch, Mooreblock got balls though. He got the online hookup and wants to see Tony online. I already told him I don't play with the Raiders because they screwed up JaMarcus' accuracy ratings. Mooreblock are you going to run with the Titans? If so, I might just run with the Raiders (I usually use the Packers though). This is going to be fun. I told him I won't brag on the win because he's new to online gaming when it comes to Madden, but I'll give him some credit because he has the balls to play me. These scary as Niner fans don't want to see me though they ain't got no heart.

Reality has a funny way of hushing those Chad-Johnson-to-the-Raiders rumors.
It's been frustrating over the past few years that whenever any scofflaw, malcontent, or jailbird player in the NFL comes available, football pundits and analysts immediately and automatically proclaim that guy will end up with the Raiders.
It's been even more frustrating that they're usually right.
But this off-season, so far, has been different. The only notable new free agents the Raiders have brought onto their roster are QB Jeff Garcia and OT Khalif Barnes. Both of them seem like pretty solid citizens. If either of those guys has ever shot anyone while arranging pit bull fights at a strip club, I'm not aware of it.
Okay, so Khalif Barnes was charged with a DUI in 2006. I bring this up not to question his behavior or role model ethic, but just as an excuse to link to the very funny YouTube footage of his arrest. It actually makes me respect Barnes more, because he says to the arresting officer, "White cops are cool... except for you!"
But while sports journalists and bloggers have been quick to declare that this off-season's headache-inducing superstars like Plaxico Burress and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson would end up wearing silver and black, this hasn't happened. One site, BleacherReport.com, actually went and reported late last week that the Raiders had in fact traded Michael Bush and a second-round pick to the Bengals for Chad Johnson. The report has since been taken down, but you can tell by looking at the URL that they were sure the Bush-for-Johnson trade really took place.
Chad Johnson himself is openly lobbying for this trade. An alert watcher noted last week in the Contra Costa Times forums that on a recent episode on ESPN's "NFL Live", Johnson signed off on an interview segment by looking at the camera and yelling, "Oakland! Call me!"
But Oakland hasn't called him. The most tangible item on this front was ProFootballTalk.com reporting last week that there was a "belief in league circles" that the Raiders were interested in Johnson. And countless blogs have speculated this deal could happen, but their basis seems more in the Raiders reputation than any actual reporting.
Plaxico Burress, meanwhile, elicits the same reaction -- most notably in a report from ESPN's Bill Williamson. But the Raiders have no idea if or how much time Burress could miss because of gun charges. Plus there is the matter that Burress, you know, had a bullet go through one of his legs recently. That might affect his performance on field.
Thus far, there's just smoke and no fire to all of these Burress and Johnson rumors. But you learn to never say never with the Oakland Raiders. Or if you must say "never", you learn to say, "Never believe the rumor until you've read it was

chree and moorcock would make shitty attorneys. do you guys work for the public defenders office? your arguments arent even valid.
the statement moorcock made was that if all three careers were to end right now, all 3 would be busts. ASS (a.smith's new handle) and VY for sure, JR hasnt played enough or been benched by his team to call him that.
facts are facts, and the fact is VY and ASS were given opportunities exceeding JR's opportunity, and both are proffessional splinter pickers as we speak. (they must be seasonal workers)
VY had a better chance than ASS because he is part of a pretty good functioning organization. He couldnt get it done at this level. (solitary 1 pointed out facts i didnt touch on as well)
ASS had a hard run, new coordinators, injury, etc. but this is the NFL. no excuses. I dont even make them for myself anymore.
JR played well last time he was on the field. he is still the starter going into the season.
case closed.
