You're not gonna believe this one. The rumor circulating among hush hush insiders, after the loss to the Jets, was that Al Davis hates that club so much that he deliberately started Marques Tuiasosopo so as to hand the Jets the win, thereby screwing them out of a shot at Reggie Bush. That's in the same league as Fox TV's Jay Glazer's scoop about how the Giants were deliberately limiting Tiki Barber's carries, so he won't collect his yardage-related bonus.

I wouldn't put that past Al. It's evident that winning is not always his #1 priority.

knock knock

Like I stated befoer a few weeks ago... nobody but Willas Da Raider knows what is going on inside the organization.....

Football is an entertainment for the fans, and they will do anything they have to, to entertain us!

and Why would Al hate the Jets?

True or not, it's just sad that I could not definitively say that it is an impossibility.

Wow I dont know what to say about that. The Jets were using their 4th string qb and a 6th round pick at rb so who knows if it could have gone the other way. If it is true (IF) then Al has really gone over the top

I heard this EARLIER in the WEEK...and a NY paper wrote about that last week!!!!

**nsraiderfan** · #8 (**permalink**) 12-15-2005, 05:10 AM

i still cant believe we lost to a team that used a 4th string QB, unreal....

Journalism at it's best, or it's regular, or it's worse - I don't know. But, once the words "hush hush" are brought in, well......

KERRYISTHEMAN · #10 (**permalink**) 12-15-2005, 05:14 AM

Whether Al did that or not half the offense just flat out quit during the game. Thats up to them as professionals and competitors.

that was the biggest load of crap ive ever read, and its DR. Z so u know its not true.

Diamabel · #14 (**permalink**) 12-15-2005, 05:30 AM

It's one of those things that can never be proven. Just like nobody can prove that Houston tanked that field goal so horribly on purpose this past Sunday.
