Raiders have not inquired about Donovan McNabb's availability

According to the Oakland Tribune's sources, the "Raiders haven't even spoken with the Eagles about McNabb" even though the team continues to signal its dissatisfaction with 2007 No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell.


Ironically, McNabb had one of his worst outings in 2009 in Philadelphia's embarrassing Week 6 upset loss in Oakland.


The Silver & Black do hold the No. 8 and No. 39 picks of the 2010 draft, but dealing for McNabb would seem a little dubious even by Al Davis' standards.

But but but but sources say they're the frontrunners for his services, reportedly interested in McNabb for the 39th overall pick!

Do you mean to tell me that all this talk by NFL pundits is just pure speculation???

Re: Raiders have not inquired about Donovan McNabb's availability

That's bs... there is no way there have not been talks between the Raiders and Eagles.

These days when a rumor is reported by that many sources there is truth to it.

Maybe it's getting put out there to light a fire under Jamarcus' rear.

I'd threaten to retire if I were him, that would be such a disservice to Donovan.

That would have to be one pretty big fire...

How do you figure? Oakland's offense, is young, athletic, and has tons of potential at the skill positions.

You had a typo that I corrected for you!

I have a strange feeling Tebow won't be there anyway. I think some team will take a risk late in the first. I could be wrong though, hopefully he falls to us at 41

this is faulty logic. in fact, it is scary logic.

If tell a lie to five people you know, it has some truth to it?

That depends...can you ensure that you tell the exact same lie, they exact the same questions to which you gave the exact same answers to all of them and then that they go back and not only rememeber all the exact details but rather report them all exactly the same?

Faulty logic maybe, but yours is just the same.

Yeah, what you're describing sounds very different from how the AP works.

Anyways, it'd be difficult to start a rumor on something so complex as a possible NFL trade. I'd say 99.9% of these things turn out to be true.
