Campbell Soup

The Depth Chart?

God, it just doesn't get any more Cellar than this: The Raiders trade a 4th round pick for.....trumpets please, with a lot of spittle-

JASON CAMPBELL of the REDSKINS!

Back up the truck, the savior is here. Here's the Raiders current QB depth chart:

1. Jason Campbell

2. Kyle Boller

3. Bruce Gradkowski

4. Charlie Frye

5. JaMarcus Russell

CAST-OFF and Draft Bust CITY!!!!!!!!!!

Trivia question: what's the COMBINED win-loss record of these 5 quarterbacks? And let me know when you find out, because that's just not worth the time on Pro Football Reference. Gradkowski is still the best QB of this bunch, and he's probably a better hockey player.

Lord, God, why? Oh, wait, I'm praying to the wrong entity. Satan, will you puh-leeeze come and get the carcass, since you already have Al's soul firmly in the 5th circle of Hell? I mean, just how funny IS this? The guy is dead, we know, ok?

Just another day for the Silver and Blacked Out (no games on national TV this year, I guess I can thank the NFL gods for that).

Drafty in the Basement

There's a chill wind blowing through the basement today, boys. It woke me up in the Barcalounger.

The Draft 2010:
Sam Bradford is going to learn about losing- he's a Lamb now.
I have some advice for Sam.....duck! To be fair, they also nabbed an OT in the second round, so maybe in 2011 Bradford will start to get some blocking, if he isn't dead yet.

The Raiders draft a linebacker, which they really badly need, they have the worst run defense in the league, but.....
another year of no quarterback. Gradkowski just pulled a pectoral muscle, so I don't know who they are going to use, since they moved Jamarcus Russell to tackle, now that he topped 300.
Hey- might as well get hit immediately after the snap anyway.

The LIONS- Jahvid Best and Suh. A huge DT and a very good RB.....I think the Lions might be serious about getting better.

Just about everybody drafted an OT or DT, I swear. There were about 1000 of them available, so why the heck not? Why draft a 'game-changer' when you won't actually be IN the game?
Get a lineman, and slow the damn game down. 6-3.....7-2.....12-9....these scores coming next year.

The Pansies, always a cellar tease, go for Jimmy Clausen, who I hear is a bonafide Jerk in the locker room and even more so in the game, so that's going to be exciting to see just how hard the guys block for him.

The Chiefs went for DBs, and I remember my team watching bomb after bomb go over their heads all season, so maybe that was a good idea.

the BROWNS- Colt McCoy in the third round. Bet he thought he would go sooner. Brady Quinn can't wait to teach him the WR screen pass into the stands....or the turf.
Browns also go for TWO DBs in round 1 and 2. Browns about to leave the basement.

Chiefs are still going to stink next year. In fact, so far it looks like the Chiefs, Raiders and Lambs are still heading for the basement, unless Bradford produces immediately. although....the Bills seem to be completely lost.

But, my favorite moment in the draft is Tim Tebow to the Broncos. I hate Florida- I hate the Broncos- and Tim Tebow looks like a hard guy to smoke a joint with, so man I'm going to love that Hate!!!

aaaaaAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDDDD THAT"S the View from the Basement!!!!!
