Oh so there is no front runner in the 'race' for McNabb?

I knew it all along. You wanna know how I knew? It's really quite simple. You can't have a front runner if there is no race in the first place. Since there is no race for McNabb, there can be no front runner. It's like asking about the current king of France, stupid!

I've been on the record since the beginning of this McNabb season, telling you all of these reports are absolute bullshit. People are just trying to invent soap opera drama to keep themselves employed during this off season. All of these reports are free-form creative nonsense flowing from the imaginations of sports writers around the country. There is not one shred of evidence or proof for any of these rumors. These are invented fabrications that defy all common football sense.

The second the Eagles lose McNabb, by whatever means, they will instantly be in rebuilding or transition mode. Take if from me, when the Rams lost Jim Everett (another disappointing guy with a ton of talent) we were in an ugly rebuilding mode for some 5 years. This is why you will not see a McNabb deal in 2010. At the end of the 2010 season, the Eagles will be negotiating with their free-agent QB (McNabb) to see if they can retain his services. The Vikings will win that bought.

Oakland was the latest candidate for McNabb, a rumor I found incredibly dubious from the beginning, given Al Davis's position on JaMarcus Russell. There is only one reason I paused for a split second upon hearing this rumor: The senility of Al Davis.

I rarely comment on the Raiders in this blog, a team I find greatly annoying. I will do so now. Al is one of the grant old men of football, but he is making decisions with his last 5 active brain cells. He hovers between 5th and 6th stage dementia all day long as a consequence of advancing Alzheimer's disease. He's in bad shape. He cannot walk without help now. We see him in a motor scooter most of the time. He has made a few absolutely crazy moves in recent seasons; things that just cannot be explained without recourse to Alzheimer's disease.

It was for this reason that paused... but only for one split second. Now that rumor is falling apart. It's all a bunch of damn lies.

I wish the Raiders well. We need the bad guys back. However, they will not get better until Al either dies, or until he hands the reins over to young, talented, smart, ambitious empire builder.
