"I Can't Believe This Guy Plays For The Raiders"

This USA Today feature on Nnamdi Asomugha not only has details on his film study and what opposing quarterbacks think of him, but it has one of the greatest comments I've ever seen on the Interwebs.

True Story: We've been having a tough time with bandwidth where I work, supposedly because too many people are using YouTube and Web Radio services while they work. So they started to prioritize traffic and slow down certain sites until they upgrade our bandwidth.

So anyway; I have absolutely no problem getting on Football Outsiders. NY Times and USA Today? Completely slowed down to a crawl. Keep in mind I work for a major media company and these are direct competitors; the kind of sites that we might be wanting to keep up to date with.

In conclusion, our tech guys are retarded and I can't read this link =(

He's a highly intelligent guy from a highly intelligent family and rather than saying, " hey I made it", he sought out Rod Woodson and worked at his craft to be the best that he can be. Mike Shannihan was on the radio last year vouching for him saying people were out of their mind not voting for him for the pro bowl ( and that says a lot coming from the fierce rival's head coach).

He's actually a modern version of the American dream if you think about it.

Barnwell really means "one of the greatest comments I've ever seen on the Interwebs NOT made by a fan of the raiders"

*snicker*

Did you just give three euphemisms for male genitalia followed by "on Loins when Loins were good"?

God, even their last names sound dirty...Rod Woodson, Willie Brown, Dick Lane...

Bravo, Raiderjoe, bravo.

Didnt mean anything bad Was only wiritng that Lane play for Detroit hen the Loins were good. Had a couple good seaosns after Lane leave like in 1970 when team go to playoffs and lose to Cowboys 5-0.
If get Stafford and Peterson play like he did when with 49Ers, then Loins have chance to become good again somedoay.

RE:Sergio
Yes, forgt to right about M Haynes and Lester Hayes, also greta Raiders cornerbaks.
