James says he didn’t get help
June 3rd, 2008 – 1:19 PM by Judd ZulgadNear the end of today’s story in the Washington Post on Erasmus James, the former Vikings defensive end had an interesting quote about his time in Minnesota. James, who was traded to the Washington Redskins last week for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2009, evidently didn’t feel he got much help after being taken by the Vikings in the first round of the 2005 draft.
“Coming in as a first-rounder there’s a lot of pressure on you,” James told the paper. “A lot of guys think because you’re a first-rounder, you’re going to come in and start. … And that’s the worst thing to come in as, especially as a rookie with people like that, because you can’t get any help. It’s kind of like you fend for yourself. It’s nice to be around older guys who are not out there to say, ‘Hey, there’s this new guy coming in.’ It’s not like that at all. You can learn from these guys. I’m real excited about that.”
Also, here is an update from the Vikings website on today’s practice. It includes a Q&A with Chester Taylor.

woo hoo!!!
I bet he cried when Chester thru that chair at him….
What a loser. Holds out of training camp for more money. Constantly injured. And now he’s taking cheapshots. I hope they throw his pants in a snowbank.
Right after he punched Chester in the eye….
James and Smoot can go cry about their time in Minnesota together. Not surprising that James would start complaining once he left.
I have heard that Clinton Portis can be quite the prankster. Close-circuit to Dolemite Jenkins: he doesn’t like cold pants!
E-Jammer has turned into a regular “Chatty Cathy”. Wonder if he and Smooter are clubbin’ yet…
Yeah, they should shove some dry ice in his pockets.
Jerkpepper is an uninformed nincompoop who dreams of renting an apartment with HOPPY.
Hoppy lives in a cave. No apartments.
In case people are scratching their heads, Viking.com reports that it is NOT Target and KABOOM, but it is, indeed, TORO and KABOOM building playgrounds with the Vikes.
At least it’s not “TORGO” and KABOOM.
Do you know who enjoys frozen pants? You guessed it bloggers, it is Jerkpepper.
I scratch my head a lot, nervous twitch I am told, ..and I am still wondering who or what KABOOM is.
Watch it Tan Ghost. You are horrible.
For the record, I am surprised at the allowance of “nincompoop” by the Strib blog police. I mean, with the Bear WR you-know-who and all, I’m just sayin’… Perhaps we should call him Marty Nincompoop.
Jerkpepper is a fancy boy, that lives in a castle and feeds his cat fancy feast. Get your mink and purse and go stroll down the street pretty boy.
Watch it Hoppy.
You watch it.
I, for one, am not surprised at the allowance of “nincom” on the blog, but methinks the allowance of some of the “poop” posted is, well, surprising.
So have you guys finally seeded your course down there, or what?
KABOOM is a cleaning product….you’re welcome.
It’s one of the finest golf courses in America. Even OJ Simpson has golfed here.
Well there you go.
I, for one, am not surprised at the allowance of “poop” on the blog. The blog police have been asleep for a long time.
Jerkpepper I thought you said Tan Ghost was dead, and yet he continues to blog. What’s the deal? Sounds to me like you are a trouble maker fancy boy.
Jerkpepper uses a man purse and Oil of Olay products.
Have you guys fixed that tire track that goes down the 11th hole?
Tan Ghost. Have you been to Jerkpeppers house? You sound like you know him well. Maybe you’re a little fancy to?
I heard your golf course is only 5500 yards?
I egged his house one year at Halloween. He came out in his Snow White costume and chased he down an alley. I was able to escape him when the heel broke on his left pump.
I heard your jerkpepper shack is only 500 square feet big? Maybe you should get a bigger house for all your clothes you weirdo!
Well, thank YOU, Mr King. KABOOM sounds like an “internal” cleaning product to me, if you know what I mean. I think we have all been there, as in…
“This will help us prepare you for your surgery.”
Jerkpepper has a huge house because hes a rich spoiled jerk.
Tan Ghost: It was my right pump, get it right. Also, and I would like that money back for it, so if you get me that 50 bucks that would be great.
Tan Ghost you should egg my cave so I have something to eat. I can’t even afford to go to town to buy a can of pop.
Spoke like a true rich kid Jerkpepper.
Tan Ghost=murdered by the the axe murderer (made up name: Zulgad). Horribles for everyone.
Back to the topic…
Well, Mr. Jame, it seems we certainly owe you an apology don’t we? I guess 5 sacks for $7M +++ was a pretty good deal for us, and just think how much better that could have been if we had “helped” you. Oh, that’s right. We had some trouble in “helping” you because you spent 60% of your time here in the training room. But I guess that was our fault too. Hope the Skins can “help” you with a bionic knee.
Sounds like jerkpepper thinks he is better than everyone, including me. I have evidence to support that this is indeed not true
s
Spoke? What are you stuck in a bicycle wheel in the 1870’s? The 1800’s called, they want their bicyle wheel back. Horrible.
Thats what fancy boys do tan ghost
I bet Jerkpepper lives in that house from Silver Spoons and rides that toy train every day after his job restocking the camping supplies at Walmart.
B.Grants, your postings is completely accurate. I guess that is why Brian Robinson was a better DE, because he was a lower draft choice and received more attention. James makes no sense. Fred is ashamed to have him as a team mates. I endorsed the trade earlier, now your old Pal Fragiles thinks it was a bad move. He will take up too much space in the training rooms.
Oh ya, what about the piece stuck to your shoe?
He rides the train, but there is no work required in his life. Daddy hands out all the money. Like a spoiled little rich kid he is.
What about the piece stuck to my shoe? sht
BUD:
Just noticed your link. Nice artwork. You never colored outside the lines once. But on a more important note, you know internal products, I heard on Sports Center that young guys rub Preperation “H” all over themselves when the go to the dance clubs so they will appear more BUFF!
Is that something we should check out, and does the Smooter have an opinion either way?
Help him, Fred. Help him! You must respond to those calls for help!
Jerkpepper will pay for his constant harrassment of him. Let it be known.
I would like to add this is done to help pick up chicks.
Sorry if there was any confusion.
I suppose you would not use Prep H some places. Probably Ben Gay, which sounds a little uncomfortable.
ESPN discussed this quite awhile.
Freds, I agrees with you. James makes no sences.
Preparation H doesn’t sound like it would make one a chick magnet, but I have never used the product, so couldn’t say. So does the female pick up the preparation H scent and proceed accordingly? Or see the shininess on the wrists, elbows, etc….just not sure how this all happens?
Is Ben Gay Pig Latin or something? Sounds like a good topic for ESPN to research, though! (brother)
Oh, and thanks Kenny! That was my best coloring project of the year!
he simply failed in the nfl u have to stay healthy and remain productive. He can sit there and cry a river about the random bs but the fact of the matter is the only person that can make james better is james..
