That's messed up. What an ass!

When Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss said of his team, "things are crazy around here," he wasn't kidding.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on its Web site that disgruntled receiver Jerry Porter who was inactive for the 27-0 drugging the Raiders absorbed from the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, was seen laughing and pumping his fist on the sidelines when Raiders teammate Aaron Brooks was sacked for the seventh time.
Porter's role on the team has greatly diminished after he clashed with new coach Art S in the offseason over his offseason workout plans. Porter demanded a trade at the start of training camp, but the Raiders have declined to grant his wish.
Porter was slowed by a calf injury early in training camp but was healthy for the final three preseason games and was not listed on the team's injury report leading up to the game. He was on the sideline in street clothes for this game.
"As far as Jerry Porter is concerned, I really don't know where he stands, what the organization has in store for him," Moss told Fox Sports Radio last week. "So the only thing I can do is worry about the guys they're putting on the field."
Porter led the Raiders with 76 catches last season and had 942 yards receiving and five touchdown receptions in 2005.
He has not been listed as a starter all of training camp, even after the Raiders traded starter Doug Gabriel to New England on Sept. 2.
That's messed up. What an ass!
Pride and Poise.
Dedication to excellence
- Raiders motto
yea right!
Actually, that's "Commitment to Excellence".
Someone should point out to Jerry that it's not a good sign when Randy Moss is the voice of reason in his situation.
I say the Redskins trade David Patten for Jerry Porter.
Porter says he wasn't even paying attention to game
It turns out that Raiders wide receiver Jerry Porter wasn't cheering against his own team. In fact, he wasn't even watching the game.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on its Web site that Porter, who was inactive for the 27-0 beating the Raiders absorbed from the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, was seen laughing and pumping his fist on the sidelines when Raiders teammate Aaron Brooks was sacked for the seventh time.
However, Porter said he was pumping his fist for other reasons.
"The San Francisco Chronicle report was not true," Porter told ESPN's Colleen Dominguez. "I wasn't even paying attention to the game. The fist-pumping was in response to some fans that were talking to me when I was sitting on the sidelines."
Raiders coach Art S said he was unaware of the reported incident.
"I havent heard anyone from the organization say anything about it," S said Tuesday. "If it did happen I am disappointed. He will have to deal with teammates and other people."

Nice job Porter.
Dumbass.
I would admit to the Kennedy assassination if Colleen Dominguez were interviewing me.
Realistically, it's "Commitment to EXCREMENT"!
"Silver and BLEAK" indeed!
Yeah,
it would seem that the Raiders O-line doesnt give a either.
