Ex-Raider Russell doesn't plan to go to AFL or CFL

[danax]

It's tryout season for the UFL, and I hear Jon Gruden's little brother, Jay, coach of the Florida Tuskers, has a need for a big gun under center, or really anyone under center.

That's funny, Daunte Culpepper, a pro bowler and better player then Jamarcus, has enough pride to go play in the UFL and earn( I SAID EARN) some money for him and his family, but Jamarcus is going to train and wait for his next NFL opputunity to come around. The good news and bad news of Daunte Culpepper's UFL landing - Shutdown Corner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports.
I'm sorry to say it, but we did end up with one of the most stupid, underachieving, laziest, dumbest, mother***kers of all time. JMO. I'm sad that he will always be associated with our team, but not half as sad as his two cousins that frequent this site on a constant basis. You know who you are, usually looking for trouble with jtagg and raiderwolfe. Yeah, you. LOL. I hope Jamarcus does get picked up, so you follow him to his new teams sites. Wishful thinking, what can I say. LOL

On another note, I wish C-pepp the best of luck. He'll have a ton of haters out there, but I don't see how you can be critical of someone who is going where he has an opportunity to play. He is clearly doing this for the love of the game, as I'm sure he had to swallow his pride quite a bit - this guy was at one point one of the marquee players in the NFL. Yes, we can go on all day about his business decisions (being his own agent), but I think the fact is Daunte has been a bit snake bitten. Personally, it is insane that this guy can't get a backup gig as a mentor or compete for a few jobs as a starter (hello, Buffalo!!?).

Personally, I'm looking forward to it, I live in Omaha so hopefully he comes to town for a game. I'd love to see one of the NFL stars from my generation live and in person - and for cheap.

It appears that what Russell lacks is maturity, lacking self-motivation in particular. The higher up the ladder, the larger the pool of more capable competition. In the meantime, your raw talent and physique stand out less and less. Plus, you are not going to get any younger and injuries will get you soon or later, and that will further erode your physical advantages.
