No kidding...

Could you imagine the stories if the 70s Raiders were covered the way the teams are today?

Yeah, I remember he got the bad pub for it, but ESPN hadn't quite turned into the gossip fest that it is now...

I really, really hate what ESPN has done to MNF.... it's like the game takes a backseat to their stupid interviews...

Few things could be more traumatic than listening to Tony Kornhole going on and on and on about how good Tom Brady is. Or changing the subject from football to some totally irrelevant topic....

On the subject of Brandon Marshall, Adam Schefter's now saying that the injury was far more serious than originally reported (involving severed tendons and surgery) and had nothing to do with a McDonald's wrapper. Apparently the new story is that he was scuffling with a family member. I dunno. Hopefully he's good to go by opening day.

Dude stop it,they will think you're the Deadman,I also haven't seen a MNF game since that traumatic game,I've written ESPISSN about never showing another Raiders game on their filthy fuggen channel,they listened to me last year,but I'm afraid this year there will be a couple of Raiders game I will not watch,and that goes for the SN sh't also.

Code talk for he was beating his wife up, and her brother threw him into the TV.

Just messing, bro...

Although, I am thinking that the way they are covering the Raiders, if J-Russ gets a hangnail, espn will have life on the spot overage as he goes to the bathroom, gets the clippers, and snips it...
Just an FYI... Blue is all . And, most of the time , fairly informed...

I think there's a lot more to the story...I just hope he's healthy for opening day...

He's a very talented athlete.... but lifestyle choices have limited many a promising NFL career.

He'd find himself on Shanahan's shit list first... one need only look at the Sauerbrun incident to see that.
