News, observations and reader questions about the Oakland Raiders

My boy Mike Silver over at Yahoo landed this nugget from Warren Sapp, who endorsed the drafting of Darren McFadden.

“After three games last season, LaMont Jordan led the NFL in rushing. But LaMont is like the worst offseason running back I’ve ever been around; he was out of shape and couldn’t keep it going," Sapp said.

Ouch.

Jordan said keeping his weight down was a key to his lingering back problems.

Teammates love Justin Fargas because he puts his body on the line every week. That inspires them.

If Sapp says that about Jordan, you can bet there are plenty of other Raiders that feel the same way about him.

Again I ask, why is the team holding on to Jordan? This could get ugly if other players start talking about Jordan.

And if Jordan's offseason program is bad, shouldn't the team want him as far away from Darren McFadden as possible?

Well I've gotta pick up Grand Theft Auto IV. That's right folks, I've got priorities until the Lakers play again.
