The official Raiders offseason thread

[Retroram52]

Who are the Raidas planning to start at RT?!

 

[Retroram52]

A Yahoo article came out today claiming that the pick of Bowers to the Raidas was one of the worst First Round mistakes of this last draft. Don't know what you really think, DJ. I know you didn't like the pick either.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Might be another Rex Burkhead type....

 

[Retroram52]

Dude, did you see that Jim Otto died?! Dude was like a walking Bionics man. He had both hips, knees, and some parts of his ankles replaced with titanium pieces.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Seeing some speculation the Raiders could trade for Greg Newsome on the Browns. They apparently have a lot of depth at CB and we didn't really address it in FA. The guys we drafted are more depth than anything else.

@DJ Can't start a convo with you via PM so going to throw this out there here.



Have one person who can't return to my free yahoo fantasy football league. 16 teams (sounds like a lot but it makes it fun) Draft is done as a snake draft on the hoop in the DCFFL forum. 5 hour time limit. It usuallly gets done in a week. Sorta fun that way because you have some time to think on picks but at the same time it goes at a very nice pace. Checking to see if you might be interested.

 

[DJ Fieri]

No thanks. Appreciate it though.

In several.

Yeah, I saw that, Retro.

86 is a good run. I see these deaths and start thinking of my own dad. He will be 84 in December.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, dude. The mortality rate is 100% so perhaps you might start thinking about your own.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Damn....that's dark, @Retroram52.

LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The assholes at the hospital going up my butt with a small camera on June 20....to "look around." Like it's a damn scenic tour.....

LOL

 

[Retroram52]

It is to them with all of their a-hole training and sech.

 

[Retroram52]

It is an uncomfortable test but they want to find polyps that might be pre-cancerous. Ya catch colon cancer early, it is very treatable. Catch it late, it will kill you. I know these things. I studied colon cancer and viruses at Penn State back in the mid-1990's.

 

[DJ Fieri]

CB is still a need and JC Jackson is a FA.

Might be worth bringing in on a short make good contract.....

Alonzo Mourning just had his prostate removed. It was stage 3 but hadn't spread....lucky. And I loved Zo back in the day when he played for Charlotte and Miami....good guy.

[DJ Fieri]

Sorry, it's not football related but as it often happens.....real life intrudes and we got a little sidetracked....

LOL.

 

[Retroram52]

Cancer of the Prostate is also very treatable if ya catch it early with PSA blood tests. Stage 3? He was well on his way to metastasis to the bones.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like your Raidas got a new OC from Da Bears!

Will Raiders OC Luke Getsy be better with Raiders?

I knew this guy was going to be a damn good DT, FA signing and that idiot McShitferBrains did nothing to go get him. Instead he went after a DB in Darious Williams. Now everyone is complaining that we need to bigger on the DLine. Wilkins impressed during OTA's.
