It’s easy for fans to focus on their teams getting big-name, big-ticket free agents soon after the signing period begins. After all, it’s fun and you want your squad to bring that dominant guy (at whatever position) who is going to make a huge impact. But, many times it’s the smaller names that are brought [...]
Over the course of a year, a lot can happen in sports. And probably in business. And in life too, we guess. But definitely in sports, things happen quite a bit. So much so, that things can get hidden. Sure, everyone saw the big touchdown pass or penalty shot or ill-timed bathroom break, but did [...]
It seems like players are just dropping like flies in the Bay Area. With news of Frank Gore missing the rest of the season, now it’s Bruce Gradkowski’s turn for the Oakland Raiders. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Gradkowski suffered a Grade 3 shoulder separation against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and will miss [...]
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Raiders fans deserve better than this. In the NFL, the game plan gets implemented for the first time on the Wednesday before that week’s matchup. So, if by this time you still don’t know who your QB is going to be, that’s kind of a bad [...]
Well, the Jason Campbell era didn’t last long in Oakland, did it? Benched at the half last week and apparently will sit this week against the Arizona Cardinals. According to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, Gradkowski will get the start this week. “Raiders will start Bruce Gradkowski at QB this week, I’m told. More [...]
With all the concern over Jason Campbell’s stinger that he suffered against the San Francisco 49ers over the weekend (it did look bad), the bigger problem appears to be his injured throwing wrist. It looks like he’ll actually be ok from the stinger. “After the X-rays, (the stinger) does not appear to be too serious,” [...]
If this happens, this is a stunner. ESPN’s John Clayton reports that it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when” as far as the Oakland Raiders releasing standout QB JaMarcus Russell. Sure, he’s stood out for the wrong reasons, but who doesn’t want a 300+ lb. QB on their roster? Think of the possibilities! Clayton [...]
At this point, we know that the Oakland Raiders traded for Jason Campbell and that just about everyone in the building is tired of JaMarcus Russell’s act, or lack thereof. And this latest report on his current body condition certainly won’t help things. A league source tells the National Football Post that the Raiders’ QB [...]
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network is finally giving us some updates we actually want. No, not the kind where he ruins the draft and tells us about a minute and a half before Roger Goodell who the Miami Dolphins will pick. No this time, he’s actually giving us news we can use. We were [...]
The Oakland Raiders will send a 2012 fourth-round pick to the Washington Redskins in exchange for QB Jason Campbell. The trade was completed a short while ago and it’s believed that the Raiders have extended Campbell’s contract. “I talked to [Raiders owner] Al Davis, and he said he wants me there,” Campbell told Jason Reid [...]
So, how did the Washington Redskins tell their current quarterback Jason Campbell about the Donovan McNabb trade? Did they write a nice letter? Email? Maybe they sent him a fax on official Redskins letterhead. Surely, they called him to tell him what was going on out of respect for the fact that the guy has [...]
Washington Redskins new QB Donovan McNabb (boy is that weird to type) spoke to the Washington Post’s Michael Wilbon by phone this evening. The Post said that they’ll have some more quotes and a column from Wilbon shortly, but until then they posted a couple of quotes. According to Jason Reid, McNabb is “absolutely looking [...]
A league source tells Jason Reid of the Washington Post that Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan wants to use the fourth-overall pick on a young QB for him to develop. This means that he is thinking like everyone else in the 202 area code that Jason Campbell is not the answer. Photo Caption: “Wish I [...]
Washington Redskins QB Jason Campbell left Sunday’s game in the second quarter with a chest contusion and was replaced by Todd Collins. He was 5-for-8 for 73 yards, but also threw a pick six and took five sacks. The Redskins continue to be a sorry sack of a franchise and are currently down 21-3 in [...]
Washington Redskins QB Jason Campbell sounds like someone growing tired of Devin Thomas’ act. Thomas has been criticized lately for not focusing all the time and disappearing for weeks in the offense. “Devin adds a lot of speed to our offense,” Campbell said. “He’s a quick guy, and we’ve seen what Devin can do at [...]
WR Malcolm Kelly was a second-round pick last year out of Oklahoma. No one doubted whether he was a decent receiver, they just doubted whether his knees would stay healthy. But, after a worthless rookie season, he’s now back on the field and feeling better with his surgically repaired knee. “It felt good,” he said. [...]
