JaMarcus, JaMarcus, JaMarcus ... ya never learn, buddy. Being fat and lazy and the worst quarterback in the NFL -- if we can even call Russell that -- should be enough to get the guy going a little bit. But no. The saying goes you can't teach talent. I think it's time we confirm that character and integrity are interchangeable in that one, too.

Anyway, just a few days after TAUNTR introduced the Purple Drank JaMarcus Russell was arrested for possession of a "controlled substance." (I hate that phrase, controlled substance. What's so controlled about it? You have a substance because you either want to a) use it, b) sell it or c) both. If you could get more of it you would. So that's controlled? Ahh, whatever, I digress.)

Russell had the codeine syrup concoction that Lil Wayne helped take mainstream after it was introduced in the Houston underground rap game.

All of this comes after the Oakland Raiders released Russell from that mega-deal he was handed after having one good bowl game at LSU.

(See, normally I would take the necessary two minutes to find my way to Google and dig up the pertinent information that is missing from the last sentence. But screw it. In honor of Russell, I'm going to half-ass this post and mail it in. You know, just like he did since Day 1 in Oakland. So if you want that info you can find it rather quickly. Now only if I was 50 pounds overweight and had money to piss away. Cheers, JaMarcus. Thanks for the memories.)

Apparently to those who covered the Raiders and Russell, this isn't a surprise. It's not a surprise to us either that an immature, selfish kid would have no professional integrity if handed millions for doing nothing at 21 years old, but that's beside the point. What I'm getting at is that there had been rumors linking Russell to this syrup for a while. Problem is, reporters like Jerry McDonald of the Bay Area News Group couldn't address the issue with no proof.

To wrap it up, the New York Jets shockingly no longer have an interest in Russell. (My question is what the hell were they interested in in the first place? To see if he could eat more Coney Island franks than Rex Ryan? Jeezus.)
