Earlier today OAKLAND TRIBUNE columnist Cam Inman reported that JaMarcus Russell blew off his season-ending meeting with the Raiders to go party at The Palms in Vegas.
When I heard the news, I immediately thought back to these wonderful photos of a soft-centered Russell showing an uncanny dedication to a rigorous offseason routine.
Delightful foreshadowing to today’s events?
Before Al Davis does anything rash after today’s revelation, I would implore him to consider this a clear sign of Russell living a life of quiet desperation. He’s quite obviously a man desperate to do whatever it takes to win a Suge Knight lookalike contest Super Bowl.
At least as a Chiefs fan, that’s what I’m seeing.

I wonder of that ornament hanging from his oversized neck is made of chocolate?

That’s f*king disgusting.

Fat Boy had to knock my Broncos out of the playoffs? How? No dedication? Film study? I just don’t understand how you can show our face and be proud of the work that you put out?
If I saw his ass out I would BOO the holy Sh#t out of him!
Loser!!

What a lazy a$$ tool. Great season: 3 TD passes and 17 turnovers.
If Al Davis wasn’t a f***ed up senile idiot, he’d lose JaWalrus in a flash, get a solid QB (should’ve kept Garcia around), a few offensive lineman and shore up the backfield and have a real team.

Everytime I see ole boy, he flossin all that bling. Betta watch his back. Just askin to get jacked. Fool is more impressed with the platinum than working at his craft. Probably be outta the league in a couple years at this rate.

He’s pretty fly for a fat guy.

Ryan Leaf, you can relax now. We no longer consider you the NFL’s biggest 1st round bust of all time. You might want to send a note of thanks to JeMarcus Russell.
By the way, anyone wondering why/how rich athletes end up broke, take a look at the ridiculous chain and pendant around JeMarcus’ neck.
3:01 am on January 6th, 2010
Great photo: is he wearing a back-pack or a holster? Either way, that is a nice look.
I’ll bet he’s got the most bangin’ shiny rims on the west coast too.

The really digusting thing is that this toad got such a huge signing bonus and contact (that he’s unworthy of), he has no incentive to get better or improve. Why do we see such busts as this? Because these players get huge rookie signing bonuses and contracts based on some TV flunky’s projection of their talent. If this slug’s performance doesn’t speak for a rookie salary cap, I don’t know what does. Maybe Ryan Leaf, Joey Harrington, etc.

JaMarcus, get some self respect and do a sit-up or two. Congratulations, you’re an epic failure. The fact that you got paid big time hurts my soul. Here’s to hoping you blow all of your unearned cash and end up broke and in the gutter sooner rather than later.

the reason that he wears that pendant is because nobody would recognize him without it. he would be just another fat guy walking around vegas.

@ RaiderMark: Not just any chocolate - that’s sucker is solid. None of that hollow Easter bunny crap for JaMarshmallow…
And folks, let’s not get carried away here - compared to Russell, Joey Harrington almost looks like an NFL quarterback. Sure, that quarterback is Craig Whelihan, but still…

Ok 1st he blows off getting his Fat body into shape prior to this season. 2nd He blows off even studing for film until his lazy a$$ is benched [Tom Cable needs to be fire for not benching his butt sooner or knocking Davis out who ever was in charge kepping this foolio in as Qb]. 3rd he blows off an end of the season meeting to go to Vegas. WTF are you freaking serious Im so pissed that I might wonder into VEGAS and do some Gangsta CourtHouse-PacmanStripClub-2Pac- shizznit on Russel with all that bling.. After I get that bling go into Pawn Stars get $200 buy a plane ticket to Oaktown. Find Weekend-at-Bernies-Al-Davis replaced his 1960’s brain or just finish him off after he signs over he partnership to me…..How the Raiders run this team my strategy makes since…RaiderJ

JaMarcus Russell makes me sick to my stomach. I’ve been an Oakland Raiders season ticket holder ever since the Raiders came back in 1995. Not only is it embarrassing to go through seven sickening seasons of double digit loses, we have to deal with the worst Number One pick in NFL History. Well next to Leaf, McFadden and of course Heyward-Bey.
What the heck is wrong with Al Davis? I guess that billboard that fans put up on I-880 won’t change a thing.
Al needs to go. So does Cable and Russell!!
My mind tells me to cancel my four season tickets, yet my Silver And Black Heart says to keep them.
That stupid Christmas ornament around Fatty’s neck is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Some of you are right. JaMarcus will be out of the league in two years. Homeless in three.
Good riddance Russell. Don’t let the door hit your big fat arse on the way out onto the unemployment line!

is that a man-purse, or was his bra undun??

Nice fingernails JaMarcus. You big fat slob. You’re a disgrace to your family.

Maybe we can find the guys who beat up Javon Walker???

JaMarcus Russell ate my kids.
4:45 pm on January 8th, 2010
I have an authentic NFL football with the Raiduhs stamp on it. It was defaced with this lump’s signature and I would like to clean it off. Does anybody know how to wash Sharpie ink from pigskin?
Thanks.

Ebay Bound: try rubbing alcohol. I’ve used it to take a sharpie autograph off of sneakers. Worked like a charm.

What is that thing around his shoulder?
A feed bag?
What a loser…….
