horrible trade for the Raiders. Sure they might score a bunch of points next year, but in the AFC you need Defense, as the Colts have repeatedly proven.

The Vikings get their 2nd 1st rounder for this year and are really in a position to improve their team now.

Well, isn't this special?

Here in the Bay ARea, the Raiders never sell out games due to their lamebrain ticket marketing program.

Which means we will see even less of Moss here in the Bay Area due to blackouts than we would otherwise on national game coverage.

iF Davis thinks this will sell seats,,, well, I seriously doubt Al's wheels are touching the ground anymore.

I know you're in Iraq, but this news came out yesterday around noon.

The reason it's a dumb trade is because the Raiders are not in a win now mode and a trade for Moss for a former #1, a current #1, and a current low round pick makes sense only for a team that can compete this year. The Falcons or Jets or Ravens could have done this without too much downside, however.

It's not a done deal yet:

"There are still some hurdles," the source said. "It's not a slam dunk. But the deal is in place."

"I don't know why the Vikings are saying that. There are no obstacles," DiTrapano said

-snip-

"Red McCombs is still running this team," one source within the Vikings organization said. " I would doubt that Fowler had much to do with it at all."

Moss on the move: Vikings reach tentative deal to trade Moss to Raiders

So, Buckwheat's going to play for the Thugs.

Sounds like the pot's right.

Perfect fit.

Gee, the new Vike's owner, who said just days ago he would not trade Moss, fits right in with the NFL.
