As the readers know, we here at the Foot are nothing if not helpful. That’s why I have made it my mission the last few months to find a new job for Willie Randolph. Because sitting around the house all day eating cereal and drinking beer is our job, not that of a professional manager. Plus, with both New York teams out of action, the media would probably soon start criticizing him for how he does that too. He’s putting the milk in too soon, and is unable to do get any Pop out of his Rice Krispies. But, I believe I have found the perfect opportunity for Mr Randolph. 

Manager of the Oakland Raiders. Sure, he’s never been involved in any sort of professional football position. To the best of my knowledge he has never played football on any level. I don’t even have evidence that he has watched football on television. But its the Raiders, so that shouldn’t make a huge difference, no one watches them on television anyway. But its a win win for him. A team struggling far more than it should, an ownership that has been known to overpay past their prime veterans (I’m looking at you Warren Sapp), and a job in which the media speculates whether or not you’ll be fired within the hour after every single game. It’ll be just like old times. Now if we can just convince Oakland to switch out the silver for orange, it’d be an even easier transition.

Now for the Jacket, well,  still nothing there. But rumor has it Hot Foot Fashion Correspondent Gary Grund has a plan.
