This was an all-time first in both the culinary and football departments. An hour before today's game between the Raiders and Panthers, Raiders wide receiver Ronald Curry walked into the media eating room, filled his plate with food and went to an undisclosed location to eat up.
I chatted with fellow reporters and photogs, and no one could remember an athlete grabbing chow from the eating room. This includes the A's who also use the Coliseum.
Curry is a pretty good wide receiver, but coach Tom Cable and wide receivers coach James Lofton doesn't care for him and Curry isn't even active for today's game. Still, you'd expect him to hang out with the team. The fact he was in the media eating room was unusual and tells you something about his feeling for the Raiders, a really crummy team that is now scapegoating players.
FYI, here is the menu Curry could choose from:
wilted lettuce
assorted bottle dressings
a tub of scrambled eggs
hard, lukewarm pancakes
pork with the consistency of cardboard
chicken parts slobbered with some kind of sauce
overcooked, soggy vegetables
apple pie
Eat up, Ronald.
Good to see the Raiders pay attention to the food just as good as they do with football ops.
Eat up indeed! Seriously laughing...
I see you are back to you cowardly ways. Just when someone in the media sorto of calls out Jamarcus Russel,that would be you Cohn, like you did last week,in a very nice post, you chicken out and remove the post, like you never said it. Somebody must have told you not to speak bad about JR, for reasons you know. Do not be such a chicken speak your mind.
I never have removed a post and certainly wouldn't because of media pressure. I simply don't know what you're referring to. I must say you went to the word "cowardly" quickly. Is it possible you're thinking of someone else's blog.
It was your blog that an entry a couple of weeks ago about JR, saying something to the effect maybe he was not the best QB. You did not totaly rip him, but you did question his passion. Where is that post. I cannot find it anywhere in you Cohn Zone. Are you saying you never wrote it??
no response means you are guilty of removing the response. Thought so. It was your blog.
