Why do I feel like this trivial case will somehow find its way to the Supreme Court?
The Raiders want about $9.55 million from JaMarcus Russell, money that they claim was an advance for the 2011-12 seasons.
I kind of want to side with Russell here. Why the hell would the Raiders advance him some salary? Why would any NFL team advance anyone their salary? I kind of struggle to believe the Raiders actually did this at all. It seems like a senile maneuver by an ancient and decrepit owner who doesn't remember when and why he paid JaMarcus Russell anything. Who is that guy? What team do I own?
The Raiders made a mistake drafting Russell, and they've paid for it. But if they were dumb enough to advance him nearly $10 million in salary, I think they should have to pay for that, too.
Could you imagine the Patriots, or any other conscientiously run team fronting a mediocre, likely-to-be-cut play any salary? The Autumn Wind is a lawyer, filing suits just for fun...
