Jeff Garcia takes the UFL route

The Omaha Nighthawks have had their eyes on a certain former Raiders quarterback. As it turns out, they're getting another former Raiders quarterback instead.

Spurned by JaMarcus Russell, the Nighthawks reportedly will be acquiring the services of Jeff Garcia.

News of Garcia's decision to join the UFL comes from David White of the San Francisco Chronicle. "I was hoping to get back into the NFL this year," Garcia said. "We had teams that expressed interest, but nobody wanted to fully commit." (Or, for that matter, partially commit.)

Garcia signed last year with the Raiders, but the veteran eventually requested his release. He later would explain that Russell resisted efforts to assist the first overall pick in the 2007 draft with his development. After Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb suffered a broken rib in Week 1, Garcia spent a few weeks in Philly.

    • I have already said I am out on Bryce so let’s not even bring him up here. I think XL sucks even if he were to have Mahomes throwing to him.   This rep alone is enough to see he doesn’t have what it takes to be a regular starter in the NFL. At least try to make the catch you idiot      
    • Way back in my younger days as a reporter, I had to go and cover a D.A.R.E. graduation event at a local school. They had two NASCAR racing teams there for the kids to meet. Teams sponsored by two different beer companies, one of which had just won the Winston Cup (wow, really back in the day, and a cigarette brand if you didn't know).  The kids were having a ball and were in awe of the drivers and crew members, they loved seeing the cars. I leaned over to the DARE officer from the Sheriff's Department and said, "You do realize that you told these kids to swear they'd never drink or smoke or use drugs and look who sponsors all this." The look of realization just washed across his face and he glanced side-eyed back at me and said, "Well, poo." Advertising and marketing are so fuging pervasive in everything we do that the public really doesn't stand a chance anymore. And gambling is doing a full on press for this generation and the next.  Sports gambling has always existed and always will, but this industrialized one is more than parasitic, it's viral. I'm not sure if the patient will survive it, but if it does, there will be a mighty shock to the system before it lets go.
    • I've heard the rumors Kyler Murray ends up on an East Coast team next year. Young for Murray straight up, who says no?
