JaMarcus has an excuse
We noted yesterday that everyone’s favorite NFL QB JaMarcus Russell of the Oakland Raiders wasn’t around the team facility for the start of voluntary offseason workouts. Well, according to Raiders director of squad development Willie Brown, Russell was closing on a house in Alabama.
“He’s trying to close a home in Alabama. It’s something that he couldn’t get out of,” Brown said. “You don’t want to lose your home. So he’ll be back in town today and ready to go (Tuesday).”
He also added that Russell has dropped a lot of weight and is in great shape. That’s great news for Raider fans.
“You’ll be surprised when you see him,” Brown said. “It’s quite a bit of weight that he’s lost . . . I don’t want to pin it down and say how much he lost but it will be a significant difference when you see him compared to last year.
“The most important thing is he’s getting in shape. Not only losing weight, but getting in shape. He’s watching his diet, he has special meals brought in that he’s eating, and we have one of the Raiders, a former player there with him to monitor him and make sure things are going fine. The weight thing, he’ll get it down. He’ll get it down.”
Hey, maybe we were quick to jump all over the guy, but we had two very good reasons: 1. His past history has led us to believe that he shirks responsibility and, 2. It’s fun.

[...] Apparently the Raiders claim Russell was late to camp because he was closing a house in Alabama. This seems fishy to me– why take a flight from Alabama to D.C. to San Francisco– [...]

[...] at 260 lbs., shouldn’t he still be considered overweight? This doesn’t sound like the body transformation that we previously heard about. The guy has always been chubby, we understand that, but we were [...]

You may haven’t intended to do so, but I think you’ve managed to express the state of mind that a lot of individuals are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or wherever, is something lots of us are going through.

Im not gonna lie, youve lost me here. I know that you just meant well and you clearly know what youre talking about, but I cant say that I get where youre coming from. If you want people to understand your points, you must take into consideration the other side of the argument, too. Youve obtained a wealth of knowledge, Ill give you that. But, quite frankly, you turned me off together with your tone.

What I would like to know is why should I care? I mean, not to say that what you have got to state isnt critical, but I mean, its so universal. Everyone’s talking about this dude. Give us some thing more, some thing that we can get behind so we can really feel as passionate about this as you do.
