I heard a while back that the Raiders had entered into a market agreement with a Malaysian airline. What I didn’t know was that the deal called for planes to be decorated with Raiderettes. Certainly makes waiting on the runway more bearable for sex tourists and whoever the hell else goes to Malaysia.
The NFL has confirmed its long-rumored plans to convert the NFL draft into a three day affair. Starting next year, the first round will be held during prime time on Thursday night. The second and third rounds will be Friday night, with the remainder following on Saturday. All I’m saying is that “The Office” better be a rerun that night otherwise I’m bailing on the draft. I’ll take Creed Bratton over Roger Goodell any time.
ESPN.com NFL blogger Pat Yasinskas speculates that that they may be no teams interested in Mike Vick. I have a hard time believing this. Allow me to toss out a few names: Todd Bouman, Damon Huard, David “Mittens” Carr. As long as these humps can find work, there will be a place for Vick on an NFL roster. You know what attaches an even worse stigma to NFL teams than employing an ex-convict puppy killer? Losing, that’s what.
The man who previously accused Marvin Harrison of shooting him, now claims Harrison was behind his most recent attack. Someone shot Dwight Dixon seven times in Dirty North Philly Tuesday. Dixon reportedly told police on the scene that Harrison, who hasn’t been charged in either incident, was somehow responsible. Police reported that Dixon was hit in the chest, stomach and arms– thus ruling out JaMarcus Russell as a suspect. [ Newsflash (for some): Dwight Dixon guy is not the same guy as former Oregon U. QB Dennis Dixon. ]
In case you still don’t have plans for the weekend [SPOILER ALERT], Secret Dwarf Hooker seems like a pretty chill movie.

You know, I’m just glad someone is finally taking airplane safety seriously and adding flotation devices to the plane itself.

Is the Raiderettes plane story confirmed or proven? It sounds bogus considering Malaysia is a fairly conservative Muslim country that veers more and more towards becoming extremely conservative.

Needs More Cheerleaders
Fun, but only beneficial while you’re walking TOWARDS the plane. To complete the ensemble, the actual Raiderettes should be inside the plane. One per seat. Your own personal cheerleader. Ah.
This guy can take seven bullets (plus the earlier ones) and live to rat out Marvin, yet Jon-Erik Hexum was felled by a single blank. There is no justice.

Plus they’ve already got the Raiderettes on the sides of planes going to Malaysia, and that didn’t work.

let’s take the raiders. boring team not going anywhere. probably a 4-12 record ahead of them. they bring him in for the league minimum and go 6-10 instead. not a big change, but they get more media attention, more people will watch, etc.
it’s worth the league minimum and a little negative publicity (it’s the raiders after all)

re: Vick vs Todd Bouman, Damon Huard, David “Mittens” Carr
It’s not whether he’s better than other guys, it’s “Who could benefit?” For expected 4/5/6/7 win teams, Vick can only cost them money and hassle without getting you to the playoffs; worth it?. For bubble teams, is the negative attention worth the off chance that he might steal one win for them if your starter goes down? For the locks, is the bad press worth having him as your third-stringer?
Even if he’s already been through hab: no, no, no.

What did they shoot the guy with, a BB gun? Harrison should have used his .50.

Seven times, and he’s still alive? Either we found Superman or Philly’s got some blind ass hit men working the streets.
And using the words dirty and philly together is redundant.
