Oakland Interested in Bolt

A spokesman for the Oakland Raiders has stated that Al Davis has expressed interest in using a supplemental draft pick on Jamaican Sprinter, and world record holder in the 100 meters, Usain Bolt.

The 6'5" Bolt could not be reached for comment as he was scheduled to run the 200 meters, and then catch a plane to Jamaica to work with Ziggy Marley's studio on a Reggae remix of Carl Lewis' classic hit, "Break It Up".

‘Nevertheless, I will punch in the throat the first guy who posts "You could just tell him to run a fly pattern, and no one could stop him in the NFL!"’

So it’ll be Henry James v. the senile and decrepit Al Davis? Pick’em.

Has Bolt ever been timed with a jam out of the blocks?

I’m sure Bolt would work out at least as well as sprinter Renaldo Nehemiah did for the 49ers. If I remember correctly Nehemiah at least played on a Super Bowl team, although he never did much.

I’m surprised the Lions aren’t interested in Bolt…
