Porter seen pumping fist, laughing as Brooks is sacked
ESPN.com news services
When Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss said of his team, "things are crazy around here," he wasn't kidding.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on its Web site that disgruntled receiver Jerry Porter who was inactive for the 27-0 drugging the Raiders absorbed from the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, was seen laughing and pumping his fist on the sidelines when Raiders teammate Aaron Brooks was sacked for the seventh time.
Porter's role on the team has greatly diminished after he clashed with new coach Art Shell in the offseason over his offseason workout plans. Porter demanded a trade at the start of training camp, but the Raiders have declined to grant his wish.
Porter was slowed by a calf injury early in training camp but was healthy for the final three preseason games and was not listed on the team's injury report leading up to the game. He was on the sideline in street clothes for this game.
"As far as Jerry Porter is concerned, I really don't know where he stands, what the organization has in store for him," Moss told Fox Sports Radio last week. "So the only thing I can do is worry about the guys they're putting on the field."
Porter led the Raiders with 76 catches last season and had 942 yards receiving and five touchdown receptions in 2005.

No, I was more angered about it than anything.
And what thread about our demise would be complete without a meth addicted, pregnant out of wedlock, mouth breathing window licking Denver fan?
You are my bee-atch!
Ouch.
LOL!
Don't you have a meth lab to construct? A snowball to prepare for a random Raider offensive lineman's eye? A few rounds of .45 auto to murder some Giants fans at Chavez Latrine?
I feel your pain. I am a long-time Warriors fan.
What do you think about Nelly coming back?
But look at the bright side, you'll score 120 points every game, you'll give up 122, but hey it will be exciting at least.
I think it's a step in the right direction. But I'll be surprised if they make the playoffs this year.
Yeah, I'm kind of worried about the guys they're putting on the field too, Randy.
Last night's game doesn't bode well for the Raiders. Mike Ditka, after the game on ESPN, said it looked like the Raiders are a team full of people who don't want to play. That may be just Ditka blowing gas. As a franchise, the Raiders seem completely lost. If they end up going 4-12 again this year, or worse, Al Davis should give serious thought to selling the team to a new group of owners.
After what we watched last night going 4-12 would be like winning the superbowl for the Raiders.
The "J-"schools are too busy indoctrinating both reporters and editors in the nuances of the lieberal religion to be bothered with teaching them "little" things like grammar and proper usage of English.
