As I’m sure you know by now, the Oakland Raiders signed Jeff George yesterday. And if you didn’t know that, you probably think I’m fucking with you. But much like Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross… I am not fuckin’ with you.
I really wish it had been some team other than the Raiders who signed him, so I could root for him. Unfortunately, no team but the Raiders would do that. Especially this close to the season starting. When you just spent a lot of money on a free agent quarterback. And the signee in question is 38 years old. And has not played a down of competitive football since 2001, when gas was $1.70 per gallon.
If the Raiders are going to do this, I hope they go all the way with him. I want him to fucking start. I want him to have that mustache, that miniature mullet, and I want him throwing the ball for them on Sundays. And he just might have a chance to do that.
I’d bet nearly anything that Randy Moss, at some point, will be calling for Jeff George to start. Say what you want about Jeff George, but I’m positive that he still throws a damn pretty ball. Randy Moss will get in practice with him, he’ll see those tightly-spiraled, perfectly-arched deep balls coming his way, and he’ll say, “This beats the hell out of Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter, and Marques Tuiasosopo.” That’s going to happen.
There’s no downside to this. Al Davis hasn’t done anything this brilliant since drafting Todd Marinovich.
And here’s Jeff George rubbing in a victory against his former employer, the Atlanta Falcons. Jim Kelly sounds pissed. The best thing about this clip? It took place the last time the NFL was on NBC. Does Jeff George know it ever left?
