Kiffin on Walker

Here's a quote from a Raider's blogger who recently interviewed Lane Kiffin:

When I mentioned that Javon Walker would have his revenge on Denver in Week One, he said that the situation was much deeper than was released to the press.

Meaning: Walker hates the Donkeys and his hate runs DEEP. he will torch them in Week One. Fantasy Football players can go ahead and start him in the first week.

I left all the grammatical and punctuation errors in the quote for dramatic irony. We've got something for Walker's ass week 1; it's called Champ Bailey. That is, if he manages to limp on the field. Enjoy him, Raiders!

The Madness of King Davis

Pro Football Weekly has a hilarious article on the lunacy that is Al Davis. As if his strange conflict with Lane Kiffin weren't bad enough (only one season removed from the worst head coach hiring in NFL history), Al Davis is breaking the bank to bring in some very questionable free agents. Here's a breakdown of some of their commitments:

• Nnamdi Asomugha was franchise tagged at nearly $10 million; he says he refuses to return next season no matter how much Oakland offers him to stay.
  
• Head case DeAngelo Hall signed for $70 million over 7 years.
  
• The very ordinary Gibril Wilson signed for $39 million over 5 years.
  
• 49ers castoff Kwame Harris signed for $14 million over 3 years.
  
• DT Tommie Kelly (WHO?) signed the largest ever contract for a DT--$50.5 million--after tearing his ACL last season.
  
• Head case Javon Walker received $55 million over 6 years.
  

According to the article, Oakland is $5 million under the cap and still has to sign the 4th overall pick in this years draft. Good luck, Al.
