    It's because the salary cap prevents you from being able to sign qualified back ups...at almost any position.

    OK. I feel lame enough for watching any football game that involves this miserable Raiders team (can't help myself, though), but then ESPN does its "random celebrity in the booth" and it is Christian Slater. They asked him what his favorite football team is, and he said "The Jets" because his dad took him to the games and he "saw Joe do this" and he waved his finger in the air like Namath after Super Bowl III. Thing is, I immediately knew there is no way Christian Slater could be old enough to remember that, because he is my age or younger. And I looked and he was born after Super Bowl III. So what the hell was he talking about?

    That's what I was thinking. I also thought it was hilarious when Walter threw a simple 9 yard completion to Moss and he yelled as if he just threw a 70 yarder. He even cheered on the punter who kicked a simple touchback.

    Clearly, ol' Christian hasn't gotten over that pesky crack addiction.

    I was hoping someone in that booth would have asked him, "Christian, most people blame you for 'Broken Arrow' utter sucktasticness. How do you feel about that?"

    He sounded drunk and if his 8 hour layover is a fact, he probably tossed a couple down.

    Those effects during the halftime highlights suck a millions degrees of ass.

    Yeah and if Vick won a game by throwing 15 times you'd say it was an example of how he's revolutionizing the game because he doesn't need to throw the ball to win.

    Shut the fuck up, please.

    AFC wild card at Cincy -- 14 for 19, 208 yards, three touchdowns, 148.7 rating
    AFC divisionals at Indy -- 14 for 24, 197 yards, two touchdowns, INT, 95.3 rating
    AFC title game at Denver -- 21 for 29, 275 yards, two touchdowns, rush TD, 124.9 rating

    Not saying Roethlisberger revolutionized the game, but he did make the Steelers a Super Bowl champion. And Vick's never won more than one playoff game in a row.

    I know which I would want taking snaps for me in January.

    EDIT -- Dammit, apparently I forgot all about the rant that started my Vick thread already. :-[

    As for Christian Slater, he may be as coked out as the day is long, but his appearance was fine by me because Tony Kornhole called Heathers one of his favorite movies ever and asked him about Heathers and Slater's Jack Nicholson impersonation. So I've got no problem at all anytime Heathers is discussed, even if it's at an NFL game and by a coked-up Slater.

    And Broken Arrow was pretty good, in a bad way.

    VIVA LA KORNHEISER!!!!

    Yeah, but we both know that it's not the salary cap that prevents the Raiders from signing qualified starters ... at almost any position.
