They all had gold teeth and crazy bling jewelry and each guy had shopping bag of all the designer shops like Chanel, Louis Vuitton and others .

      WISHBONEL7 I do blame both parties. He was suppose to be the savior and that's a lot to carry. WR's or Rb's don't have to deal with the pressure its more instinctive. Russell should've been benched to his first 2-3 years to mature and not take the whole blame for them losing. His blame is he was arrogant. That with coaches trying cover their own behind instead of fixing him was a death sentence. Look at his LSU highlights vs Raider highlights. His footwork was good then became bad. That's coaching and him not putting in the work. He's a fool for not working with Rich Gannon (didn't want to humble himself) but also he's usually with the Raiders so it should've never got to that point.
