This one goes out to Eckstein and Sexy Rexy


The Oakland Raiders love giving away money. Al David is recession proof fo shizzle. After wasting money on jerkwads last year in the form of Deangelo Hall and Javon Walker, one of whom has an anger issue while the other doesn't have a knee, Davis decided to break the bank on our favorite cover corner Nnamdi Asomugha. At least this guy doesn't appear to have any personal issues that will prevent him from actually playing, meaning he should receive every penny of him new 3yr $45 million dollar contract. This seems absurd, even for the senile Raiders organization. The biggest contracts i've ever seen for a corner has been 7yr $70 million. Deangelo Hall got it last year and Nate Clements got it from the 49ers. So what has Asomugha done to earn a 5 million dollar raise? I understand that he has been a standout corner the past 2 years, even though he admitted to being scared to death when he moved from the safety position, and team rarely throw in his direction, but $15 million a year. Seriously? It's almost as crazy as the New York Islanders giving their goalie, Rick DiPietro, at 15 year extension.

I only mention this story because Eckstein referenced Nnamdi Asomugha in a post making fun of his name. Yes, you are reading 5 year olds playing with a keyboard. Also, he does happen to be one of Sexy Rexy's favorite d-backs.
