Looks like the Chargers modified their jerseys.  No powder blues for Berman though...

Rhodes to the Raiders

POPPIE TO THE RAIDERS
Running back Dominic "Poppie" Rhodes, who not long ago was reportedly urinating all over himself after a DUI arrest, will now have a chance to soil some silver and black.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Rhodes has agreed to terms with the Raiders.  The deal is worth $7.5 million over two years.  Mike Garafalo of the Newark Star-Ledger suggests that the base value could be lower than that; he says that the contract is worth "up to" $7.5 million.

In an unrelated story, all couches at team headquarters will be covered in plastic.

Rhodes gave an MVP-caliber performance in the Colts' Super Bowl victory over the Bears.  His numbers for the game were better than those of Super Bowl XXV MVP Ottis Anderson -- and Super Bowl XLI MVP Peyton Manning's were worse than those of Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler in the same game.

DUI charges against Rhodes are unresolved.  For Turd Watch scoring purposes, the Raiders will acquire any points from a conviction, guilty plea, or plea of no contest.  The Colts, however, keep the existing points, since he was their property when he went pee-pee in a police car.

Oakland: where promising players go to die

[BlueHeart]

Indeed.

[QB Eagles]

Although to be completely accurate, plenty of horribly zesty players go to Oakland as well.

DUCKETT TO DETROIT

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that running back T.J. Duckett has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions.

Duckett will sign a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Lions.

The maneuver gives the Lions three starting-caliber tailbacks -- Duckett, Tatum Bell, and Kevin Jones. We've previously heard that Bell, who was acquired recently from the Broncos as part of the Dre' Bly trade, is a candidate to be traded again.

Duckett did the deal with Detroit after visiting the Seahawks

What an insult

[rjs246]

Are you seriously comparing Duckett's situation to Stallworth's? Kill yourself.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Stallworth - 38 catches for 725 yards (19.1 avg), 5 TD's

Duckett - 38 rushes for 132 yards (3.5 avg), 2 TD's


They both had 38 so they deserve the same!

Seriously, Wingspan... you're a moron.

[ice grillin you]

wing on the DL is a monster homer or maybe just a huge pro management/anti player guy...i cant tell because he isnt loud about it like others...hes a sneaky little bastich

on another note....white helmets rock

[Wingspan]

Some people will go so far out of their way to defend their hater turf, that they fail to see a joke at their expense, even when it's shining right in their faces.

[ice grillin you]

[PoopyfaceMcGee]
