I want to see him talk about how he and his agent thought that teams would be lining up to get this shit wannabee qb on their teams, but now it's going on three weeks since his release and no one is really interested or more to the point even seems to care that he is available.
His best option looked to be NE
since Belichick loves utility guys he would NEVER have been a QB in the system but would've done many other things.
I thank GOD for small favors cause if he ends up a Patriot I will have to become a Lions fan
***(Added 30 sec later) I will send the owner of the Eagles a case of beer for taking that retard off the market and eliminating the chance of him being a Pat

Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell rolled his sleeves up and flashed a little arm Thursday. He went long, he dumped short, he rifled everywhere in between.Now, if only Russell could get a little more Autumn Wind under those deep tosses, then the vertical game will really be in business.
As it was, Russell completed 6 of 9 passes for 50 yards in one quarter of play, giving flashes of passing-game things to come in Thursday's exhibition season opener against the Cowboys at The Coliseum. Enter Darrius Heyward-Bey, the No. 7 overall draft pick with afterburners. On the third play of the game, Heyward-Bey sprinted down the left sideline, only for Russell's under-thrown 40-yard pass to get batted down.
They tried it again on the next drive. That time, Russell's 33-yard shot to Heyward-Bey on the same route sailed 5 yards long and 2 yards out of bounds.
When Russell sat, backup Bruce Gradkowski kept the offense passing, completing 9 of 16 passes for 161 yards and a 3-yard touchdown to tight end Tony Stewart. Two completions went to rookie Louis Murphy for 40 yards. Another went to Heyward-Bey for 8 yards.
As far as safety nets go, at least the Raiders know they can always fall back on the run. Yes, veteran Justin Fargas started (1 carry, 2 yards). But the real hope lies in Darren McFadden and Michael Bush.
McFadden had four carries for 63 yards, bursting past the second level of defenders for 45 yards on a sweep. Bush played third and had two carries for 18 yards.
Just as impressive, McFadden delivered a huge block in blitz protection to spring Russell for an 18-yard rumble.
As if to show off their running back depth, Louis Rankin had a 3-yard touchdown run and Gary Russell had a 1-yard score.

New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour has been dealt to the Oakland Raiders, NFL sources told ESPN.
In return, the Patriots get a 2011 first-round draft pick, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Seymour, 29, spent the first eight years of NFL career with New England. In that time, he amassed 357 total tackles and 39 sacks in 111 career games. Seymour also has 4.5 sacks in 15 postseason games.
The five-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champion matched his career high with eight sacks in 2008.
If it's legit it will be a HUGE upgrade to Oaklands already decent defense..
Hope it's true

Cool, looks like The Pats did good. They will more than likely get one of the first 5 picks next year.

The Labor Day weekend arrest of Chargers LB Shawne Merriman has seen comments from attorneys, police officials and even Chargers GM A.J. Smith, but none of the parties involved had commented — until now.
Merriman sent a statement to FOXSports.com late Sunday regarding the events surrounding the incident that led to a citizen's arrest filed by reality TV star Tila "Tequila" Nguyen against Merriman.
In his first comments regarding his arrest, Merriman says he did not assault the reality TV star and was trying to prevent Nguyen from leaving his home in an intoxicated state.
Merriman practiced with the San Diego Chargers on Monday, then said he's convinced he'll be cleared.
"I think when it all surfaces, it will be a different situation. Period," Merriman said.
According to Merriman's statement Sunday: "On September 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriff's Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint. At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided.
"We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California.
"There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriff's Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department, and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers."

I don't know if you are a transplant from boston but I sure do hope so because your location states "chicago area", if your not a transplant from mass all I have to say is " GO BEARS" and you must have been forced to watch the pats as a child because every person that I know from the "chicago area" loves da bears. In fact, why don't you change that "chicago area" to "chicago area but I want to be in patriot country" haha..
Cheers bro, I'm just bustin ballz here ! Back to work !
