BREAKING NEWS: Al Davis Names Gradkowski The Starting QB

Here's how it all went down.  Al orders Tom Cable and Hue Jackson to go over game film from last season and "figure something out."  After hours and hours analyzing the offense Hue Jackson is convinced that Bruce Gradkowski gives the Raiders their best chance to win.  Cable says, "see?"  The two then head to Al's office to try and convince their boss that Gradkowski should be the guy.    

Davis:  So did you figure it out? 

Cable:  Yeah, but you're not going to like it.

Jackson:  Sorry boss but I don't think there is much I can do for Russell.  

Davis:  I thought I told you guys to figure it out?

Cable:  We did.

Jackson:  It's obvious that Gradkowski is the better QB.

Davis:  What?  I know I drafted him in the 1st round but Janikowski is a Kicker.  There is no way he is going to get us back to the Super Bowl.

(Cable and Jackson have puzzled looks on their faces)

Cable: (speaking loud and slow)  Not JAN-I-KOW-SKI.  Bruce GRAD-KOW-SKI.  He's been a QB his whole career.  He is pretty darn good.  Comes prepared and everything.

Davis:  Well if Russell shows up overweight again this year, I guess we can with go with Bruce uh . . . . What's his name again?

Cable turns on Al's overhead projector and spells it out for him. BRUCE GRADKOWSKI.

Davis:  That's right, Bruce Gradkowski.  I'll give the kid a shot.  He's not related to Ron Jaworski is he?  I can't stand that guy.

Cable:  Uh, I don't think so.  I can't stand Jaws either boss.

Davis:  That's good.  Well, lets do it.  Send Russell in here.  I've got to let him know that we're going to try him out at LT if he doesn't get in shape.  I'm not wasting another $60 million.
