Before re-signing with the #Raiders, S Usama Young visited the #Panthers.

 

Good to know...

[Jackofalltrades]

Useless.

Nothing has changed.

[CPcavedweller]

No idea. I'm sure he will be back here next year.

[Catalyst]

God, I miss Gantt.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Joe Person is the Roman Harper of beat writers.

[LUUUUUKE]

Joe Person is the Roman Harper of beat writers.

LMFAO!

For those of you who don't get it, choke yourselves

[Vagrant]

Joe Person's job description is literally to annoy the poo out of everyone in training camp and then fug off the rest of the year reporting everything second hand via twitter and pretending he's a journalist.

 

 

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Joe Person must give great handjobs.

 

It's the only logical conclusion I can come to as to why he still has a job.

[stirs]

Has it been rumored on FB yet?

[JJman]

Joe person will RT this next weekend.

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

I'm actually glad I didn't know that information.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't like to get pissy about the beat writers.  I know our front office is very tight-lipped.

 

But the question I always wind up asking is why guys like Adam Caplan, Aaron Wilson, Ian Rapoport and others can get this kind of information and the local guys don't?

People like Caplan and Wilson have been working in this business for over a decade, and with Rap he has the added clout of working for a big time outlet.  Compared to who we have in Person, who many players and coaches don't even like so why would they tell him anything, JJones is still new on the block and really hasn't had a lot of time to build his connections, and we have who else, Sorensen maybe?

The big guys have had time to earn the trust and respect of the insiders while ours are either dumb and stupid or new.

I cannot fathom how Joe Person walks around in public without 30 people hovering questioning how this douche has a job..  And to top it off, the observer somehow employs this guy..  They actually pay him money...  like more than $3 an hour...  and more than 2 hours a week.
