For This, I Blame Cusak

One thing is now abundantly clear. Al Davis has seen Hot Tub Time Machine and thought it was some kind of campy documentary. Why else would he be trying to trade for a quarterback who turns 33 soon and will want approximately one billion dollars to sign an extension with a team that it conservatively, a decade away from contending?

A billion dollars and a second round pick!

A billion dollars, a second round pick and the best corner in the game not named Revis!

!!

So, either Al thinks he can used said recreational time machine or he thinks he can get 9 more years of Favreian play out of McNabb and hope the team can contend in that span. I'm not sure which idea is more ridiculous.

This rumor, if it comes true, does have a silver lining.

A big fat silver lining called JaMarcus Russell. if McNabb is in that means the Jam experiment is mercifully over. I love how those reports of a trim 270 (!) Russell quickly turned into a lazy 290. I guess I can be happy to watch McNabb ride out the golden years for a perennial 7-9 (hopefully) team so long as big no. 2 is gone for good.

It'd be better just to get rid of them both and keep the draft picks and money though.
