Favre to Raiders, Martz, etc
I haven't seen this posted...
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...hitlock/051229 By: Jason Whitlock...Just so John Madden and all the other Brett Favre worshippers/broadcasters don't have to find another church, I present to you the solution to Favre's troubles: Trade Favre to Oakland. Favre's QB rating of 70.5 entering the final game is the lowest of his career. Seriously, Favre would look perfect in Silver and Black, winging the ball to Randy Moss while Al Davis looks on from the owner's suite wondering if he could somehow add Ricky Williams to the mix. I've given this a lot of thought. Al wouldn't be able to add Sticky-ickee Ricky because the Dolphins are the other team that should enter the Favre sweepstakes, and Sticky-ickee Ricky would be the trade bait to lure Favre. But if my dream were to come true, the Raiders would add another NFL bad boy as Favre's backup -- Jeff George. Yes, Jeff, 38, still wants to play. Look, next year the Raiders have to be all about feeding the ball to Randy Moss. This year Randy has career lows in TD catches (six), catches of 40-plus yards (three) and first-down receptions (40). His career highs in those categories are 17, 14 and 76. The Raiders are not getting their money's worth out of Moss because Kerry Collins is a mediocre quarterback. Favre can still get it done, still has enthusiasm for the game, and he certainly would love to throw the ball to Moss. At age 36, Favre would need a backup who could keep Moss happy if Favre were to get injured. Enter George, arguably Moss' favorite quarterback. The key to pulling this all together would be the right coach. Norv Turner ain't the guy. But it's safe to assume he's getting canned. Denny Green is the perfect coach, but he's stuck in Arizona. Mike Martz? I'm not joking. Moss plus Favre plus Martz plus George plus Al Davis would be the greatest reality TV show since "The Real World" San Francisco. That was the season when the show just threw away any pretense of being remotely realistic and let Puck terrorize an AIDS patient. If the Raiders never won a game, you'd still want to see them on Sunday and "Monday Night Football" every week. You think a Favre Raiders jersey wouldn't be the hottest-selling piece of merchandise in the history of pro football? What would Oakland have to give up to get Favre? Well, the Packers might ask for something stupid, such as receiver Jerry Porter. You don't give up Porter. Favre has thrown 28 interceptions this year. He's 36. The Packers have a quarterback of the future -- Aaron Rodgers -- sitting on their bench. You give up a conditional 2007 draft pick, which could go as high as a No. 1 if the Raiders reach the playoffs in 2006 and Favre starts 12 regular-season games. Or maybe Favre is worth a No. 2 in the 2006 draft. Hey, I'm not an NFL GM. I don't know what it will cost. It could get complicated if the Dolphins show interest and dangle Ricky Williams at the Packers.

Somebody is smoking some of that rare **** I've yet to lay eyes on...
I know it's a possibility, but alot of things are possibilities, Favre coming to Oakland isn't one that's going to happen, even though we can sit here and speculate about it all damn day...

I didn't know Oaklandhomi3 was a staff writer at ESPN... (sorry brah, couldn't resist)
But, seriously - this has to be a joke. Jeff George? Been there, done that. I think the NFL should institute random drug tests on the columnists... I'd love to see Farve in Oakland - he's an upgrade to Collins - and a playmaker which Collins isn't. It'd allow #16 a yr or two to mature, but I just don't see it happenin'.

Ricky Williams was quoted as saying he won't be going to Oakland since they signed LaMont Jordan.
We would not have to give much for Farve if it were to happen. It is best for the Packers to move on ASAP and I *doubt* they would want much in return.
