Sorry Ryan Leaf, but JaMarcus Russell is the biggest bust ever! Don’t look now, but the Raiders just got better. Prolly the only time Jason Campbell’s been called an upgrade. What happens first? JaMarcus signs with another team or appears on the next season of ‘The Biggest Loser?’
Yahoo! Sports reported yesterday Three years after being selected with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, JaMarcus Russell is out of a job. The Oakland Raiders cut the quarterback on Thursday after a disappointing tenure in which the former LSU star earned $36 million to lead the team to a 7-18 record as a starter.
Reports indicated that Russell was tipping the scales at 300 pounds during the offseason, well above the 255 he supposedly weighed when he was selected in 2007. Ask anyone in the NFL to describe Russell and it wouldn’t be long before the word “lazy” was peppered into the conversation.
The soaring Superman play wasn’t just for show, either. It was part of a nine-run rally in the eighth inning that helped Fordham overcome an early 9-1 deficit en route to a 12-9 win.
Who’s the Biggest Asshole of the month? Big Ben and his latest of many retarded decisions? Or Jesse James and his decision to cheat on his gorgeous and sexy wife, Sandra Bullock? She just won herself a ma fucken Academy Award. Probably a make-up award for her performance in ‘The Net.’ So good… That’s Michelle Bombshell McGee all tatted up and for some reason obsessed with Jesse James. Jesse James is a disgrace to the name Jesse James.
And Big Benjamin… I love that the Steelers are going to have to deal with this Big Ben situation, again, before their seasons starts and most likely it’ll constantly be coming up as a distraction during the season. Awesome. But, I have to vote Jesse James as the Biggest Asshole of the month. Still days left, I know, but come on, it’s Sandra Bullock! I doubt anyone can be dumber than Jesse James.
