Sounds Like JaMarcus Russell’s Ass is About to go Supernova

Seems like it was just last week that Willie Brown, Raiders director of squad development, was raving about JaMarcus Russell’s new, svelte look.  Wait, that was last week.  Yep, it was all of seven days ago that  Brown swore up and down that Russell would be nearly unrecognizable, and that not only had the Raiders QB lost a ton of weight, but that he was actually getting in shape.

Either March 17 was opposite day in Raiderland, or Willie Brown was suffering from a serious case of heatstroke, because Russell isn’t quite in the great shape that Brown made him out to be….unless you consider Rosie O’Donnell to be a splendid physical specimen.

Adam Schefter, via his Twitter account, has some interesting revelations about JaMarcus’, umm, figure…

Great googly moogly–Russell’s pushing 300 lbs?  I’m no expert, but I think carrying around all that extra poundage will hamper his mobility somewhat.  Ah well, JaFatness can always fall back on his cannon arm and superb football intelligen…oh shit, nevermind.

I think I understand why Al Davis and the Raiders are going so hard after Donovan McNabb–with McNabb, they’d have a proven quarterback under center, and more important,  a signal caller who doesn’t get winded reading the playbook.
