Gerard "Big Money" Warren Moved-Experiment Failed

In the category of Ex Players gone bad, Gerard Warren has been traded from the Denver Broncos to the Oakland Raiders for an undisclosed draft pick. For Oakland's sake I hope it's a second day draft pick. I can recall the risky experiment conducted by the Denver Broncos organization that included acquiring most of the underwhelming Cleveland Browns Defensive Line. These moves included but are not limited to, Gerard Warren, Courtney Brown, Ebenezer Ekuban, and Mike Myers. Shortly there after, The Cleveland Browns organization converted to a 3-4 defense. Recently, a beat writer asked Romeo Crennel if the Browns would be interested in Warren now that he is rumored to be available. This question goes back to a period shortly after Crennel took over. Crennel then said, "Gerard Warren could play in this new defense". Due to his response to said question, he like the majority of the NFL, in fact do not believe this to still be true.
As for the remainder of the "experiment", Courtney Brown-who gets more injured than Samuel L. Jackson's character in Unbreakable (Mr. Glass), Brown is out of football. Let's hope he left Penn State with more than his inflated draft status. Mike Myers is more famous for having a horror movie name than anything he has done on the field. Ebenezer Ekuban, is and has always been the kind of player who is respectable as the 2nd or 3rd best D-Lineman on a team who's D-Line is not that good and only in a 3-4. As I respect the Denver organization, I can only say, I'm Glad That's Over. The idea that high profile lineman on a team who renders some of the leagues worst defensive stats just might not be the result of the team they are on. Maybe, just maybe these lineman are really just that bad.
As for Warren's claim that the pressure of losing got to him and his departed teammates and that a new venue will revitalize him...EAT IT. I would never make excuses for a team who consistently puts forth a less than respectable product. However, in this particular case, Warren has no room to complain. The fact of the matter is that Big Money Warren is lazy, unmotivated, and football has never been his priority. I can say this from personal experience. He once offered me to join him in his vip room (as well as anyone else who recognized him or would tell him how great he was) at a local Cleveland night spot. Let's just say, they weren't smoking black and mild's back there. I will have to consult the IRONY POLICE, but I believe this will qualify. His new teammate, Warren Sapp, I was once told makes no hesitation to party and party often. I once heard that at a Tampa night club he over heard someone say, "I'm not drunk enough yet", Sapp proceeded to say "tonight, drinks on me-for everyone and keep 'em coming 'til everyone's $h!tty". Needless to say, two pees in a pod.
The good or even great news as it pertains to the Denver Broncos, it seems they successful sent the Trojan Horse into the Oakland Raiders back yard. An extremely overused idea in professional sports is, no matter what never trade within your division or conference for fear that it may come back to haunt you. I think we can add an amendment to that axiom. "Unless the trade is perceived to specifically cripple your divisional/conference foe"
Oakland I hope you enjoy the following. A greedy over-hyped rookie QB who seems he doesn't really want to play, 3 backup RB's and no clear starter, crybaby WR's who demand more respect than they deserve, a D-Line who are better at eating cheeseburgers and getting $h!tty than they are at applying pressure to opposing offenses, and an owner who thinks its still 1982 and who's approach to the game makes about as much sense as a FOOTBALL BAT. Oakland, yet another bad move in long line of tradition that mirrors just such moves.
