So you're a Cowboy fan, eh? I still want Crab, but just saying, none of this will help him.
yeah, it always sucked when Crab would finally show up during the middle of the 2nd quarter for an 11am start for a Tech game.
I hope all the scouts think like you and let him drop down to the 2nd round for the Cowboys to swoop in.

meh. I'm a fair weather cowboy fan. I enjoy the circus more than the wins/losses....
.....and fantasy football has ruined my wanting to follow any one team. If I've got players going against the Cowboys, then FTC.
Waking up at 1130 am while he is rehabbing his foot won't hurt him either.
He will be a top 10 pick and will go to whatever team needs a WR. If Cleveland ends up getting rid of Braylon, then there is no doubt in my mind that they take Crab at #5.
He's going to be ridiculously out of shape with a diet like that.
........As well as his college career has gone, Crabtree didn’t get off to the best start at Texas Tech. He missed the 2006 season when the NCAA Clearinghouse refused to certify him because of a questionable grade from his sop re year of high school.
Crabtree was disheartened by the situation – he never attended a Red Raiders game that season – but he didn’t let it deter him.
Instead Crabtree made frequent trips back to Dallas to work out with his cousin, David Wells, a former bodyguard for Irvin and Adam “Pacman” Jones. Wells also trains professional boxers in a non-air-conditioned adjacent to his home. Crabtree became a staple there, jumping rope, punching speed bags and heavy bags and lifting weights.
Wells ordered a second set of the equipment and had it sent to Crabtree’s home in Lubbock. With each workout, Crabtree’s intensity increased. His teammates said they could see the difference his efforts were making on the field.
At times, a few of Crabtree’s teammates even became irritated with him for running through tackles too hard during what many felt was supposed to be a “light” practice.
“He’s the most fierce compe or I’ve ever been around,” defensive back Darcel McBath said. “Even when the ball isn’t coming to him, he’s blocking his tail off. He’s trying to drive people out of bounds or into the turf.
“Whether he has the ball in his hands or not, he wants every play to go 80 yards.”
“I’m around pro athletes every day and he’s been around them, too. You see how they screw up. You see the money they’ve made and lost. That’s not going to happen to Michael. He’s got his head on straight.”
– David Wells, professional trainer
Crabtree won the Biletnikoff Award after a freshman season in which he also earned first-team All-American honors. The success hardly caused him to become complacent.
Instead Crabtree spent most of this past summer in Lubbock working out with Harrell, who’s considered the current leader in this year’s Heisman race.
Crabtree said he and Harrell spent their afternoons running 10-yard routes up and down the field at Jones AT&T Stadium, stopping near the end zone for three consecutive plays from the goal line. Down and back, down and back they went – without any water.
“Doing that every day in this Texas heat?” Crabtree said. “Now that’s a workout.”
Maybe the most beneficial experience, though, came when Sanders invited Crabtree to attend his camp at SMU last summer. With NFL all-stars such as Devin Hester and T.J. Houshmandzadeh looking on, Crabtree went one-on-one with Pacman. More times than not, the college kid beat the pro.
“It was remarkable,” Wells said. “He looked like he’d already been playing in the NFL for years. Pacman, naturally, was all mad and pissed off about it. But in the end he couldn’t help but compliment Michael and show his respect.”
Crabtree’s maturation off the field has been striking, too. Last spring he returned to Dallas and went to a party with some of his friends from high school. The next day Wells learned that Crabtree had returned home before midnight.
“He said there was some stuff going on that he didn’t want to be around,” said Wells, who declined to provide specifics. “You’re not going to catch him smoking. You’re not going to catch him drinking. You’re not going to catch him doing things he’s not supposed to do.
“I’m around pro athletes every day and he’s been around them, too. You see how they screw up. You see the money they’ve made and lost. That’s not going to happen to Michael. He’s got his head on straight.”..........

Nnamdi Asomugha on ESPN First Take right now.
Said he's tired of losing, and thinks that the whole team is used to losing, and he needs to change that mentality. I love that guy.
wow.
aw yeah, that guy is fast!
lol 4.3
lol picking 6th-7th round guys in the 2nd
Worst draft ever
Anybody see that ESPNEWS thing about the Raiders? I love what Asomugha said "I read the route in his eyes"
Drop some ing weight.
I knew Garcia was short, but in that picture he looks like a midgetDrop some ing weight.
that's JaMarcus with the pot belly? he looks like on o-lineman
so that's Garcia, then Walter and JaFatcus is on the end, who's the other guy?
I think that's Bruce Gradkowski. Where is the Official Raiders thread? I am tired of bumping this one instead of the Raiders thread, cause I can't find it.
raiders are going to win the AFC west this year.
Raiders: 9-7
People are underrating them this year. If the D can stop the run, they're at least going 8-8.
Jamarcus looks terrible. What has he been doing this offseason?
Probably using his free Taco Bell for life card too much.
jamarcus has always been somewhat of a fat ass, but he can launch the ball 80 yards while sitting on his ass so Al doesn't really give a damn what he looks like
You should start one.
I'll agree with that. Guessing IronMexican would too. Davis needs to die.
this is the official raiders thread
