Raiders to Make a Run at Vick?

FoxSports.com is starting a rumor that Lane Kiffin might want to be aware of. I don't know if he'd be happy about it, or if it would cause him to hang himself in his garage, but it would certainly make his new life more interesting:

Oakland is preparing to make a run at Michael Vick. The package would include WRs Randy Moss and Jerry Porter plus the No.1 overall pick in the 2007 draft for Vick and Atlanta's first-round pick.

You know who would win that trade? Matt Schaub. He'd take over the Falcons starting job, have amazing WRs to throw to, plus the #1 overall pick, which would turn into another weapon for him. Vick, meanwhile, would be in Oakland with a brand new head coach, throwing to ... I don't know, Johnnie Morant?

If Arthur Blank and Al Davis were in love, it would be just like The Gift of the Magi. "Oh, I traded my quarterback to buy you some wide receivers." "But I traded my wide receivers to get you a quarterback!" Awww.

Anyway, the rumor does make a lot of sense, and in a lot of ways, it seems to be God's plan that Michael Vick one day ends up as an Oakland Raiders. Still, there's a 99.92% chance that this never happens, just because these things never seem to work out.

1. Yeah right. Get rid of an ASS WIPE for 2 more
ASSHOLES. Arthur Blank just jumped off a Stack Of Money. If that ever happens, That will be almost as funny as that Hershel Walker trade back in the 80's.
If that happens the Falcons take 5 steps BACKWARD.
If your gonna get rid of a SCUM Bag then don't
replace it with 2 more.GET DRAFT PICKS AND BUILD.
Al Davis is Senile. Get his Picks..All you can.
