When the Bengals finally cut the human pile of trash that is Burfict there was only one realistic landing spot. There’s one franchise in the NFL that has consistently employed scumbag players and ran their organization like a clown show.
If a player gives the Raiders any chance of winning they. do. not care.
Now the thing that everyone should be excited about is that there is no chance Hard Knocks doesn’t follow the Oakland (Las Vegas?) Raiders this year. Sure, it might be better if they wait until 2020 when the team is permanently in Vegas, but the first season with Antonio Brown and Burfict, two guys that absolutely hate each other, coupled with the luck seed Mark Davis strutting that bowl cut and PF Chang stained sweater around the field makes this year must watch.
There are going to be so many fights. Gruden will undoubtedly start some of them on purpose to get the competitive juices flowing. That’s a man that only knows football and is coaching like it is still the 1970’s. He may not be a good X’s and O’s coach anymore but god damn does that guy eat, sleep, and breathe football.
And the first practice that Carr doesn’t throw every pass Brown’s way will result in Mr. Big Chest huffing and puffing around the baseball field while Burfict makes a b-line for him.
I haven’t watched Hard Knocks in years, but that will change when the dumpster fire Raiders are in primetime.
