The "Namath Curse". Well, a lot of Jet fans believe that good ole Joe Willie sold his soul to the devil in exchange for a win in SB III. In return, the Jets will flounder in mediocrity until Joe passes on.

However, this is not something that I think is brought up every year like the Cubs ....
I have heard something like this before, but it's not to the extent of some other superstitious teams.
You DO understand that Joe Willie has NOTHING to do with any of the teams that have not won since then .....
Actually, when the playoffs started and Rex Ryan was annoying everybody by saying he thinks the Jets should be favored, Joe Willie came out and said there is no way the Jets should be favored. After the magic carpet ride the team went on, I don't think Joe Willie will be commenting anymore.

JaMarcus missed the beginning of offseason voluntary workouts because he was closing on a house in Alabama.
The Raiders also had this to say:

This will keep Raider fans going for a little while...

BOTH forms of info will keep Raider fans going. The HATERS will bitch about him closing on house when he should be in "voluntary" camp. And then those that look at things half full, will see that it has started taking things a little more seriously by trying to get into shape, eat better and lose weight.
But the haters will definately point out the worst part of the post the most.
Interesting. I wann see improvements in other areas other than doing the South Beach Diet.

Yeah, this is from a Raider fan on another forum, sums up my thoughts about the matter nicely:
I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with the transparency the Browns are trying to convey in Cleveland, they seem to be a bit too chatty about their draft possibilities, and that generally means they are looking to do something different and/or trying to build value for their pick to get suitors to trade with them.
I also think that after the Chiefs picked up 2 FA OTs, they're a lot closer to picking Berry at #5 and with 3 picks total in the first 51, going WR and LB or maybe CB with the other two.

No, Saints only gave him the lowest tender, just had the ability to match the offer and they didnt.
Uh...yeah. I'm not 10 years old. Don't know why you thought you had to direct this comment toward me.
Man I am so glad this guy is not my QB. Reporter interviewing him... didnt even stop his car, even as he answered questions...

At least the Browns cut their losses with Quinn. How long with the Raiders hang on to J-Marc?
Since they're not doing it this year my guess is they're going to have a regimented program for him to follow, and failure to do so will result in him being suspended and stuff so they can recoup money. Otherwise this is the year to make a move, there would be no cap implications.
Who knows, they could shock everyone and take Clausen or another QB if he's available. Florida's CB Haden just ran a 4.44 at his pro day though, so he's probably on their radar.
