News You Can't Use

Let’s start things off with the following snippet from this article in the San Jose Mercury News: “On paper, the Raiders' running numbers are not much worse than a year ago. After five games in 2004, the Raiders were averaging 102 yards per game. In 2005, they are averaging 71. The difference is, new running back LaMont Jordan has not been the major threat he was expected to be. He's averaging just 3.6 yards per carry.”
Since when is a 30 percent drop in production “not much worse"? I'll tell you what, you give me 102 dollars, and I'll give you 71, and we'll call it even.
And that, Raiders fans, is news you can’t use. If you see anything out there that you think qualifies as News You Can't Use, please feel free email me at raidertake@yahoo.com or just post it in the comments section.

Thanks, Raider Greg...The Bills are begging for an ass-whupping, especially Mr. McGahee, as you noted in your podcast. The time is now for Norv to recommit to the running game, and for Jordan and Crocket to take Willis to school.
Also, thanks to you and Raider Nation Podcast for demonstrating that honesty and loyalty are not mutually exclusive, but rather mutually beneficial.
