09.28.06 The NFL Could Learn a Thing or Two

The school district responsible for Oscoda Area High School in Michigan has cancelled the football team's season. Through four games Oscoda High was 0-4 with zero points scored, and my calculator says that's not very good. The board ruled that Oscoda was so overmatched in its tough conference that it was a safety risk to the team's players.

In other football news, the Oakland Raiders are 0-2 with the highlight of their season — the bye week — already behind them. They have been outscored 55-6, and those 6 points didn't come from a touchdown. Starting QB Aaron Brooks has already gotten hurt from being sacked 800 times in two games, and now the Raiders look to The Andrew Walter Experience to carry them to less embarrassment, which is about as likely as everyone in Raider Nation getting a job.

I think you can see where I'm going here: the Raiders should look into drafting some Oscoda players so the carnage never stops.
