this board gets worse and worse everyday, its starting to get like the baseball trade deadline, just make things up. my turn,WPVI tv (Action news) in Philly is reporting that a deal that would send TO to Oakland for Jerry Porter is in the works.
There is no link, it was reported on tv. But if WPVI reports it, im sure there is merit to this rumor.
Can you imagine TO and Moss in the same offense?
Thanks Dave.Im sure I wasnt the only one that heard it this morning. I would be shocked if this were to go down. But it was definately reported.
A) He said it was a rumor.B) The TV station made up the rumor not the poster.this board gets worse and worse everyday, its starting to get like the baseball trade deadline, just make things up. my turn,WPVI tv (Action news) in Philly is reporting that a deal that would send TO to Oakland for Jerry Porter is in the works.

C) Would you rather we talked about the foot of rain we're getting here?
This has already been on message boards, SI, USA Today, TSN, etc. as something that *COULD* be in the works. Did you scoff and scowl when there was stuff going around on Moss? Would you have believed it if last year there was a rumor Rickey Williams would pack up his jock strap and call it a day?It is what it is . . . a rumor. Are rumors newsworthy? I don't know, but they certainly get reported on a lot, so I guess they must be. We all know that most of this stuff is talk and only a small percentage of gossip ever materializes.potential news?
idle banter whoo hoo!
hope everyone updated their real-time rankings
those rumors had reports though (moss/williams)feel free to post the link that states TO is going to oakland. go to SI, USA today, and TSN and post the links, with credible sources.This has already been on message boards, SI, USA Today, TSN, etc. as something that *COULD* be in the works.

What do you expect people to do . . . fabricate information about Clinton Portis blowing out his ACL and missing the season? That was SO last year . . . (The Portis story from last year (non-story?) clearly reflects how rumors start and can take on a life of their own.)

I heard this last night on the news too, so to the JO's spewing BS, lighten the F up, then grow up...WPVI tv (Action news) in Philly is reporting that a deal that would send TO to Oakland for Jerry Porter is in the works.

Taking plays off is not a problem Owens has, Moss on the other hand...
As far as I can tell, this hasn't been a problem with Moss in at least 2 years. Honestly, you can dislike Moss for other reasons, but this one's horrendously out of date.
Most of us highly doubt this happens, but hey, nothing is impossible.
And that's even assuming Warfield plays that game, being week 2, that isn't likely to happen.
Why do people keep talking like Oakland gave Porter this monster deal?Porter's deal was CHEAP. Most of the sports writers were surprised the totals were as low as they were. $21M over five years is NOT a lot of money in this market for a potential #1 receiver in the prime of his career. Heck Pinkston signed an $18M 5 year deal. Santanna Moss just signed a 6 year $31M dollar deal.Never been a big Jerry Porter fan, and certainly wouldn't want to give up TO for Porter (and Porter's contract).
Hey Schneikes,To be clear, I HATE the Pinkston deal but what's done is done. I don't think Santana Moss is worth half the $$$ he was paid. And, I'm not a Porter fan. I think much less of him than the consensus outlook, so $4.2 mm per year is TOO MUCH IMHO b/c he's not a WR1, he's a WR2 that would be forced to play WR1 in Philly.Why do people keep talking like Oakland gave Porter this monster deal?Porter's deal was CHEAP.

If anything, Porter's contract would be a PLUS for the team receiving him.
It was on the local ABC affiliate. If that's not good enough to post, then, it pains me to say it, but the tools have won. I, for one, am not giving up hope. FBGs, we can defeat the tools if we stick together.Thank you and GB America!i was wondering the same thing about the thread starter and yudkinI guess I'm just confused why you are being such a tool?those rumors had reports though (moss/williams)feel free to post the link that states TO is going to oakland. go to SI, USA today, and TSN and post the links, with credible sources.This has already been on message boards, SI, USA Today, TSN, etc. as something that *COULD* be in the works.

That's why i said the "old David Boston" -- maybe he was on the roids, but he hadn't turned into a 260 lb goliath that couldn't stay healthy. Remember that sweet year he had for the Cards? I don't know if Porter has that in him, but I think he's in the ballpark.
Trotter and Hugh left first, failed elsewhere, and came back with their heads between their tails. Those situations aren't the same. Simon hasn't taken any shots at his teammates that I recall, nor does he have past history of causing problems in the lockerroom when he's not happy.
Some people have yet to figure out..............this is a message board.
