It just keeps getting better...

Samie Parker isn't terrible.
He’s just not good. At all.
Agreed
It was pretty clear his talent was limited but he that didn’t make him a bad player.

I don't think his talent neccesarily made him a bad player. But something did.
There are a lot of players with talent. Apart from his below-mediocre success in an offense where touches were dominated by Priest, Larry, Eddie, and Tony, Sammie did nothing in multiple years to give any confidence that he good be effective. He’s an enticing talent, that’s why the Chiefs drafted him in the 4th round, and the Broncos picked him up, and the Raiders picked him up. But the Chiefs cut him, the Broncos cut him before last season. He was picked up by the receiver starving Seahawks who made no attempt to re-sign him after the season. And now the Raiders want him! He’s a nobody in the NFL.
Yeah
and we know firsthand how that track speed translated to the NFL =)
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
knew it
thats a prerequisite to play for the raiders
he wasn't as
bad as some WR we have had.

As I recall
Parker was always great in practice, but his hands never showed up during the games. If he can turn it on in when it matters, he could contribute.
Catch and release.
Parker will likely be waived before the season starts. And that’s unfortunate for the Raider Nation as he probably has softer hands than Heywood-Bey.
Like term!
He’s a speed guy to bring into camp to have on the 4×100m relay race they have at every Raiders training camp.
Sammie Parker could shine for the Raiders...
… considering he only caught crappy passes. If Oakland had a good quarterback, however, he would drop every pass considering they would be thrown right to him.
Here comes the celebration of a ten yard
catch like it is the game winner in the superbowl.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

The ball between the legs thing…and what not….
What a silly habit…He could have had a lot more of those if not for the butter apparently on his fingers…
HAHA...
I love it….
Sorry I have been so silent all day….been dealin with the storm in SWMO….like 60,000 people without power (including myself, if not for a crazy generator)
Lots of chainsaw cleanup tho…
Wow
I was wondering where you’ve been…that bad, huh? Just been in KC.
by Joel Thorman on May 8, 2009 11:39 PM CDT up reply actions
It was a great day....After like 10
But the morning was like…60-70mph gusting winds and yea…pretty bad stuff. Poles down and stuff so we dont know when we will have power back…But luckily it is great weather for open windows.
Yes that's a plus at least
I remember in like 2002 or so, we lost power for like 6 or 7 days after a terrible snowstorm in KC.
I was terribly sick at the time…no power….miserable…
by Joel Thorman on May 9, 2009 12:04 AM CDT up reply actions
Yea.
Seems like we have one of those every year now…GLOBAL WARMING!
I like this Samie Parker thing….too bad they likely wont keep him past camp…it would be great to watch him drop balls against us…hmmmm
It's an Al Davis move
Bring in AFC West guys…

60-70 mph wind gusts
try livin in Western KS. We have those on almost a daily basis!
Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.
Mine is, yes.
Carthage in the city isnt as bad as Joplin. Surrounding carthage tho just about everyone is out.
Joplin is bad as far as electric, not sure about trees and stuff, but yea.
Empire Electric blows. lol
There are some folks without here and there around Springfield
but I don’t think the storm was the sustained winds that you got. But it still was a pretty impressive storm.
Sustained winds were around 40 here.
Gusts they claimed MAY have got up to 80 in some areas which is like…almost hurricane lol…
It looked like the worst went just south of Springfield so you all got lucky.
Yeah, we were all sweating it a little at work
You could almost feel the roof “lift up” from the crazy wind. But I know we got pretty lucky. Just part of living in the Ozarks.
Hope your power is up soon. I know how much that sucks!
Yea...well...
I am at my parents house and they have an insane Tractor PTO-generator and it is providing me quite well. lol
At least it isnt freezing out…
No S---!. I don't know many people who don't have generators
after the last two ice storms. I personally don’t want to live through another one. Makes you think about moving to Costa Rica.
and 
He is out of the league, he's on the Raiders :)

Great point.
The Raiders should be the last resort. Just ask Randy Moss.
