who hasn't wanted to do this to their boss at some point?

The San Francisco Chronicle reports Oakland Raiders WR Jerry Porter is still acting out against the club in little ways. The disgruntled former starter parked his vehicle in owner Al Davis' personal parking space on Wednesday, the space that's closest to the front door of the team facility.

That's funny but not adviseable.

What exactly did Al Davis do to Jerry Porter's detriment? It might be funnier if he deserved it somehow.

I think if nothing else, this takes Porter out of the picture.

He must really want out of town, but the problem is he seems to be more trouble than even the likes of Koren Robinson. He is not going to be on many teams' short lists. And I would say he can't expect to get a better contract than he had with the Raiders.

What an idiot.

Curry or Whitted look to be the guys that will step into his vacated spot.

If I was Davis I would have had Porter's car towed away and laughed last.

That's pretty funny as a stand-alone prank.

But as an effort to get outta Oaktown, he'll need to bring more. Porter's got a multi-year contract that would wreak havoc with the Raiders' cap if they cut him, and he's looking less and less attractive to prospective trade partners.

I'm seeing a 52-man roster by the Bay this season.

you have to be one piece of crap to get run out of oakland, you know? it's like getting kicked out of the rolling stones for drug problems. oakland is like the last stop for all the miscreants in the nfl. if you can't keep your attitude in check there, you have serious issues.
