Sounds like you're just making excuses for the guy, I'm not as passionate about it as Stephen A, but I agree with him, Russell straight up didn't give a fuck, now he's blaming everybody but himself for his failures. Pathetic
I remember Al said he wanted Russel while Lane Kiffin, the head coach at the time didn't even consider picking him in the draft. They even fought over that decision and Kiffin was fired. So it's the organization's fault.

@@CraigMcGuinn Not exactly. I ate Chicago pizza for the first time at the McCormick Center, and it was thicker than any pie that I’ve eaten. Couldn’t finish half of it due to how much dough was used to make it. Easily weighed 7-8 lbs for a medium sized pie.
lmao after 2 minutes of straight yelling without anyone saying anything, he ends it with PERIOD. lmao i love stephen smith, he is the reason ESPN is interesting
So true Stephan A, and as much as I love underdog comeback stories I would bet my life that he will never see another NFL roster as long as he lives. Literally what he did could be punishable in a federal court for fraud given different circumstances. He held out the entire camp and lied and manipulated himself into getting paid a guaranteed kings ransom and said "fuck it, i'm set now" and rolled over like a coward and didn't do a lick to help the team. Such a cowardly act, and Phil Davis was one of the most true blue loyal men in the league and D. Russell screwed him with his cloths on, disgraceful. He gave the city, fans and organization a permanent black eye.
Lol, preach SS, preach! Yeah, I gotta agree. The dude took a DVD of plays home, said he watched it to the coaches, and it turns out that it's blank... geez
At least Skip didn’t pretend like JaMarcus Russell was a better performer on the field than Steven A said. When Skip said JaMarcus deserved a second chance if JaMarcus got back into shape, Skip meant anywhere on a roster, not as a potential week 1 starter
Even if you don't like Stephen A. Smith this rant was spot on and hands down the best smackdown of that bum and I guess stealing 40 million dollars from the Raiders wasn't enough because he just stole another 74k from his own high school where he was coaching at.
Also, remember: the Raiders could have had Calvin Johnson or Joe Thomas (offensive tackle) as their pick (they were the next two picks---Johnson is in the Hall of Fame and Thomas should eventually be in).
Definitely the better player but if you think about it, it doesn’t change much because the Raiders don’t get a good QB and until Carr whereas the Lions get a guy only 2 years after Calvin was drafted
I know this is all theoretical but anytime someone says something like this I like to think everything that happened in real life happens just change the one thing, in this case that’s Calvin to the Raiders instead of the Lions and it doesn’t change much

To be fair...Johnson was the only truly great player in Russell’s draft class taken after him
Craig McGuinn Adrian Peterson
Wolfgang Benefield I thought Adrian Peterson was drafted in 2008, whereas Russell and Johnson were taken in 2007
Craig McGuinn Oooh no worries was hall of fame draft class we missed out on
Adrian Peterson was part of the 2007 draft class
He might have been the first starting QB to suit up and weigh more than his offensive linemen.
Idk why but hearing this makes me almost feel bad for Russell. Such a waste bro.
