Debacle Reactions

Just a smattering of local feedback on yesterday's Jersey Beat Down:

Gutierrez says the Raiders are a "sad joke," and advises Tom Cable to steal Al's Towncar, drive it to Napa, and turn himself in for breaking Randy Hanson's jaw. Why? Because,
a little time in the pokey, solitary confinement if possible, would be so much better for your stress level, your general well-being and overall health than what you have to endure daily watching over this shockingly wretched outfit and its latest embarrassing performance.
Gary Peterson says things have never been so bleak for the Raiders:

So what happens now?

"You stay the course," Cable said.

Shudder.

Gwen Knapp comes a week late to the bash-JaMarcus party, after everyone else has moved onto to including the entire team, with her usual JaMarcus-bad logic, with a headline, "Russell's latest debacle proves he isn't getting it." It opens:
The Raiders backed up their coach Sunday. They lost a game so completely and atrociously that they confirmed Tom Cable's assertions that his team's problems went much deeper than the devastatingly inaccurate arm of quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

Kawakami sees "greatness all around." His final bullet point:
It’s my fault. It’s Rich Gannon’s fault. It’s Lowell Cohn’s fault. It’s Monte Poole’s fault. It’s all of our faults, since… well, I’m sure Al and his miions will tell us why.
Heh.

Cohn says "Raiders are right there." It's short, and written in the 4th quarter before the game had actually ended. It's a pretty brilliant piece of black comedy, actually. Noting that at every press conference he gives, Tom Cable says that the Raiders are "almost there," Lowell blogs,
He never actually says where there is or if there is a there there...By the way, there refers to the absolute bottom whether Cable knows it or not.
Not good times for Raiders fan. In fact, these times are JaMarcus Bad.

Hoculi Rule?

Via Bill Williamson, the NFL is looking into making plays like Cutler's non-fumble against the Chargers last year reviewable.

This is the kind of thing that turns Raiders fans into Conspiracy Theorists. Six months later, and the NFL is going to change instant replay because the poor San Diego Chargers got screwed in a regular season game.

And yet, it's been over 7 years since that dirty goat fucker Walt Coleman called the Tuck Rule, and it's still on the books.

At least we can enjoy the drama in Denver.

Somewhere, Sllaacs is Crying

Boom Dizzle opts out. Great job, Warriors. Gwen Knapp pours salt in the Warriors fans' wounds, musing that he wants to play in LA so he can be near the company he runs with Jessica Alba's baby-daddy. She thinks the Clippers are the team, but wouldn't it be funny if he ended up on the Lakers?

The Hauenstein's Weep

Or do they cheer?

Dan and his brother, Mikey, are both Rice alumni. I'm curious how they take this news, that recently fired Cal coach Ben Braun has been hired by Rice.

The article says that Rice currently owns a 19-game losing streak, which is worse than any season Braun had with the Bears. He was fired for being a mediocre Pac-10 coach. Every Cal fan I know (a lot) wanted him fired for the last 5 years.

I don't even know what conference Rice plays in. The only thing I know about it is that my friends both went there.

Like I said, I know a lot of Cal fans, and they're pretty stoked with the Mike Montgomery hiring. Gwen Knapp takes a break from making Pee-pee all over the Raiders to write that Monty hasn't "betrayed" Stanford, although speaking as a Cal fan, the fact that some people on the Farm are feeling betrayed is just icing on the cake.

Dan Emails from Texas

Dan is going to a lake, and promises to post later. In the comments to my Hater of the Week post, he linked to Vic Carucci's column on the Kiffin-Davis relationship as it continues to evolve. It's the opposite of Gwen Knapp's column from yesterday, which I would't use to line my cat box.

The Nancy Gay Memorial Hater of the Week Award: Gwen Knapp

I mean, I don't even know what to say about this.

I'm considering changing the name, since at least Nancy Gay went to Tampa and came up with and provided good coverage of the Owners meetings.

Why doesn't she just wipe her ass with a pirate flag and mail it to Alameda? The point would be just as effective.
