    NFL.com - JaMarcus Russell, the former first overall pick of the Raiders back in 2007, isn't owning up to his failures as an NFL quarterback.

    Addressing previous reports that he would fall asleep during team meetings as a rookie, Russell said it was a result of having sleep apnea.

    "In the NFL, my first year, I had to be there at 6:30 (a.m.) before practice and be on the treadmill for an hour," Russell said.

    "Then meetings come, I sit down, eat my fruit. We watch film, and maybe I got tired. Coach Flip (quarterback coach John DeFilippo) pulled me aside and said, 'What are you doing for nightlife?' I said, 'Coach, I'm just chilling.' He said, 'I need to get you checked out.' I did the sleep test, and they said I had apnea."

    After Lane Kiffin was fired in 2008, new Raiders coach Tom Cable apparently didn't help matters much. Now, Russell said he feels betrayed by Cable, who's now with the Seahawks after being let go in Oakland.

    "I stuck my neck out for him," Russell said. "Didn't complain when he benched me as the starter. Didn't complain when he called the same plays five damn times. Didn't (badmouth) him to other coaches. When the (media) asks me, I say, 'He's a good coach, a good guy.' Then I hear he says I was the worst thing that ever happened to the Raiders, if it weren't for (me) we'd be in the playoffs? ... It just got to where the game wasn't fun for me."

    So Jamarcus the Hutt is blaming everyone else for his failures?

    The circle of failure is then complete...

    Name one game when Revis didnt show up?? I can name one for all the guys you listed. Calvin Johnson is great, but with a Shitty QB he isnt changing the game. Revis does it all on his own. stop hating....
