The videos are worth checking out, especially the fifth one.

In my opinion after hearing about his money troubles [lost all of it and ended up selling his house], it's pretty obvious he's trying to get back in the league for a pay check, but he's still making a nice effort.

At one point he said: "First few weeks we were doing the workouts and here i am breathing like a fat man" - Because you are a fat man... looks like he realized things got out of hand too late.

Billy. Leave us alone when out comes to that POS.....you can't imagine how depressing it is to fathom him making a comeback.

He deserves what he gets as far as hard times. He needs to go do sizzurp and just stay broke.
I remember when we drafted him and his speaking fail came out on YouTube...I was in middle school then and still knew we had ourselves a hoodlum...right away.
SCREW JAWALRUS!!!

An ex-player went from obese to fat. What news.

What would we do without you Billy.

Well unfortunately we can never rid ourselves of JR. He will always be connected to the Raiders. However, I hope he gets signed by some other team that way he will be linked to them as the more recent team.

I knew it wasn't a Raider fan who posted it in here as soon as I saw the title.

So basically a crackhead should die a horrendous crack addicted death. Forget about rehab, forget about recovery, forget about that person having a decent standing in society. Once you ef up, you deserve the worst. Got it. I hope you never mess up if you truly think this way...

I agree whole heartedly...he was young right out of college and he let the money get to him. It doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a second chance if he works hard to earn it.

Yes, his selection hurt this franchise, but I hope he finds some type of success in this league.

As much as JR is to blame for his fall, it is also the Raiders who are at fault for drafting him. there are so many other guys that we could have taken, but we wanted the strongest armed guy. Yeah he failed and I personally don't think he will get on or stick with a team due to his intelligence, however if he does best of luck to him.

But to be real he is just another in a long line of poor personal decisions that the Raiders have made in the last ten years.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. His failure to even attempt to being anything other than a lazy, Lean-slurping, oaf is the fault of no one but himself. Actually, not sorry. That's the truth.

There's the reason we made so many bad moves. Notice how much things have changed in a year and a half?? LOL.
