I'm listening to the Raider station in LA...and they're seriously talking about the playoffs...one guy even called in and described Brooks as a "good quarterback"

What I found the most interesting was how awful the offensive line was. The Eagles' DEs were tossing Gallery and Walker around like rag dolls. They're also starting a rookie from Weber State, it looks like. Shouldn't the O-line be one of Art Shell's strengths?

The 25 minutes or so that I watched, I gathered the same.
Isn't Robert Gallery supposed to be a stud? Either he was awful, or the Eagles improved greatly on the ends.

I can't believe how disgustingly fat and out of shape Warren Sapp still is. Whenever they showed him on the sidelines in his white jersey and sleeves I expected to see Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd show up and shoot him with their proton packs.
Art Shell has a lot of work to do.
Raiders sign Jeff George

ALAMEDA, Calif. - The Oakland Raiders signed Jeff George to a contract Monday, bringing back a player who hasn't thrown an NFL pass in five seasons.
George, the No. 1 overall pick by Indianapolis in 1990, joined the team in time for Monday's afternoon practice. He previously played for the Raiders in 1997-98, starting 23 games and throwing 33 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
It is not immediately clear what his role will be on the Raiders, who already have Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter and Marques Tuiasosopo on the roster.
George, who was a high school star at Warren Central in Indianapolis, played with the Colts from 1990-93. He was in Atlanta from 1994-96, then spent two seasons with Oakland and one with Minnesota before joining the Redskins in 2000, first as a backup. He was signed by Seattle as insurance midway through the 2002 season, but didn't play. Chicago signed him late in the 2004 season, but he never played for the Bears either.
George, known for his strong arm and clashes with coaches, has a 46-78 career record as a starter and has never lasted longer than four years with any one of them.
George hasn't played since 2001, when he was cut after two games with the Redskins. In his last two games with Washington, George had a quarterback rating of 34.6, completing 23 of 42 passes with three interceptions.
In his next-to-last game with Washington, he and coach Marty Schottenheimer had an animated sideline discussion after George committed four turnovers and was removed from the game.
George also had a sideline argument with coach June Jones when he was with the Atlanta Falcons in 1996, and the team suspended him and then cut him.
George played well his first season in Oakland, throwing for 3,917 yards and 29 touchdowns in 1997. He struggled with injuries the following season, starting only seven games, and was replaced the following season by Rich Gannon, who was a better fit in coach Jon Gruden's West Coast offense.

Even the Charger fans around here believe in "anybody but the Raiders!"
