We not only accuse Floyd Landis of doping, but also of being in a cult. We talk some baseball, cover the trade deadline, Jesper Parnevik doing his nanny, flashing, Charles Barkley running for governor, Charles Oakley running for president, and the top fantasy football wide receivers. I’ve also decided to surprise my co-hosts by leaving some things in the podcast that I think they were expecting me to cut… Sorry, boys.

I’d like to call your attention not only to Jerry Porter’s obscene new physique, but the fact that he’s wearing what appears to be a replica of Ted DiBiase’s million dollar belt. I’m not sure if DiBiase fell on hard times and sold it on EBay, or Jerry Porter pinned him and took it in a legally sanctioned WWF match, but no matter where it came from, it makes me look at Jerry Porter in a whole new light. The million dollar belt is a symbol of status and prestige that known all throughout the world.
Of course, you know by now that JP wants to be traded. He’s got some sort of beef with new Raiders head coach Art Shell, and I just wonder if it all stems from the million dollar belt. Maybe Art Shell was a huge Ted DiBiase fan. Maybe he threatened to put Porter in the Million Dollar Dream. Maybe the Raiders signed Virgil to a contract for training camp, and he’s deeply offended by it all.
My hope is that the Raiders can’t find anyone to take Porter in a trade, and they release him, and he then signs with San Diego. AFC West teams, more than maybe any other division, just seem to swap players a lot. I have my doubts that Marty Schottenheimer and AJ Smith would take a chance on a guy who’s a perceived character risk, but disagreeing with Raiders management, in my mind, anyway, is more likely to be an indication of strong character.
