OAK planning to suspend AB (edit: apologized, playing)

How on earth did Mayock figure he would be a GM? The guy makes Mack drafts for a living.  Even Mel, a huge blowhard, isn’t delusional enough to believe he could be an NFL exec.  He knows how incredibly sweet the deal he and Mayock had. 

 

Mayock could not have F’d this up any worse.

 

Is it Mayock or Gruden who F'd this up?  Gruden wanted Mayock as the GM, though Gruden is ultimately in charge, IIRC.  So could it be Gruden wanted AB and Mayock is now forced to deal with this B.S.?

It was Brown who F’d this up

Maybe the Raiders should forget about Antonio's helmet requests and just get an MRI on that pea brain skull of his!

 Whatever Gruden wanted, Mayock is the GM and he’s being made the fool

Ultimately, yes.  He's also F'ing up his career.

AB is the fool.  Total nitwit who is ending his career.

The more I think about this the more I say to myself, Really? An owner who is lazy, ya got Chucky, who’s a over paid blow hard, and Mayock, the figure head GM who doesn’t know he’s in over his head, this has had disaster written all over it from the get go. Then you add in AB, the drama queen, and ya get what ya got. Frankly I think the whole thing is funny as hell.  A major black eye for the Raiders organization. ????????

[17islongenough]

Who would have thought a team with Peterman and Incognito that no one would even mention those two?

Well yes.  But the GM is supposed to handle this differently.  Mayock is a talking head. A nobody.

Chuckie's the coach and should be the one to get AB on-board.  Mayock had to intervene after Chuckie failed.

Mayock was installed as the figurehead. He played his part in the draft selection process, and now he handles the phones, contracts and the press. Gruden is the puppetmaster.

I agree that Mayock is Gruden's "yes" man and has less power than Gruden; he does Gruden's bidding.  In this case, Mayock is simply enforcing team policy and contractual obligations.  I don't put any of this on Mayock, at least from what I've seen as an outside observer.

Come on doc. Let’s hear more about that no guaranteed money contract

AB's not in Buffalo now, is he?

Getting into a shouting match at this point is proof positive that Mayock is a speech impediment doofus

 

I totally expect the Raiders to be a train wreck.  I was just explaining how it could’ve been worse.

And your boy Chuckie is the joke in this whole thing.  He's running the show and it's on him.

[Matt_In_NH]

As much as the team seems to be going the right direction.  I really don’t get why they thought trading for this clown was a good idea.

That 10 year, 100 mill contract runs the show I think.

This is what the Raiders do. They have a history of bringing in the lost, the wayward, the haunted and malcontents.
