The latest joke for a joke franchise. Too bad the joke's on the fans...

UPDATE: On a lighter note, is his name better suited to a super hero or a professional wrestler? Discuss...

As someone who has been an Oakland fan since the early seventies, I'm starting to feel like Prometheus, having my liver devoured every season, only to have it grow back in the off-season to provide another meal...
This jackass is just part of a huge problem with this franchise.  No matter where you look, be it ownership, scouting, draft picks, quarterback, O-line, D-line, secondary, running game, the outlook is lousy. 

Fuck it, I'll just start drinking earlier in the game.   Things will get better eventually, if for no other reason than Al Davis can't live forever.

Although have you ever noticed that he's starting to bear an alarming resemblance to Nosferatu....

Lets see...

You have a coach who's under intense scrutiny for (allegedly) beating up his defensive coordinator and for apparently striking his ex-wife and ex-girlfriend. You have a fat quarterback who's so bad that a one pick, zero touchdown performance is a "good game" according to him. Your offensive line a joke, your WR corps is an even bigger joke. You defensive line can't block for nobody. And your owner is a doddering octogenarian who still thinks that football is played the same way it was in 1980 and interferes way too much in the day to day operations of the team.

Wow, I feel very sorry for Oakland fans everywhere.

His team is awful. He broke his assistant coach's jaw. He allegedly beats women. Why exactly is this guy a head coach in the NFL? Kind of makes all this moral posturing from the league's front office about player behavior a wee bit hypocritical.

The Dolphins are always a team that I can like even post-Dan Marino. I like how on 11/1/09, they only had 104 total yards against the Jets and still won!!! On a side note, I've been telling people for 15yrs that my dream job was/is to be the punter for the Miami Dolphins.

I don't know exactly where I would rank him, but so far in his second season Flacco is a top 10 quarterback in the League. As a rookie he led the Ravens to a great record and a spot in the AFC Championship game. He did that without putting up great individual stats though. This year the Ravens look as dangerous as they ever have offensively, and I think Flacco's presence is no coincidence. He has great poise and is athletic enough to make plays with his arm and ocassionally his legs.

There's a lot of anger in Green Bay regarding Brett Favre. They got tired of him though and were ready to make Aaron Rodgers, a great young quarterback, their starter. Granted Favre was wishy washy for a long time regarding whether he was coming back. Minnesota picking him up was a pretty easy move, he obviously can still play and is an incredible competitor. And cleary they have shed no tears about upsetting Green Bay fans.

I don't know whether he was the best Heisman winner ever, but he is one of the most intriguing. His punt return on Halloween night that beat Ole Miss in 1959 is still the stuff of legend, but it is his life after football that is more interesting to me.

Following a reasonably successful pro career, Cannon became an orthodontist, but became famous again for all the wrong reasons in the early eighties when he was arrested for counterfeiting almost $6 million worth of $100 bills. Sentenced to five years in prison, he was disgraced, the College Hall of Fame rescinding his election.

On his release, Cannon orthodontal practice was in ruins, he was the subject of lawsuits drowned in debt. The Sporting News published a story called "An Utter Disaster" virtually crowing about how far he'd fallen.

In 1995 he was hired as a dentist at Angola Prison, and set about reforming a disaster in that institution's health care. Slowly, seemingly independently, the legend of Billy Cannon began to be restored. In 2008 the College Hall of Fame re-elected him, and an image of him was erected at LSU's Tiger Stadium where he had earned his fame.

I didn't know much about Cannon, besides the fact that he had played, and gone to prison. I recently read the story of his redemption and found it truly fascinating. It's a good tale, and for once a happy ending.


Here's the video of his famous punt return: For some reason the video-maker covers it with the American anthem, which gets a little odd when it blends with the play call, but so be it.
