Hall Talk

Bye, Bye Me-Angelo!

This may not mean a whole lot to anyone outside of Atlanta Falcons fans and Oakland Raiders fans, but apparently the Legendary (in his mind) Cornerback DeAngelo Hall is no longer with the Raiders.

Hall doesn't leave poor, $8 million for 8 games, but he does leave looking for work. The big question mark is what team would be willing to take on a guy who really believes he is the second coming of Deion Sanders while playing a lot like Lewis Sanders.

DeAngelo will forever be know in Atlanta as Me-Angelo and for his monumental temper tantrum in 2007 against the Carolina Panthers and Steve Smith. He's now known in Oakland as a guy who got paid way too much to do something he wasn't capable of doing. Who knows, maybe this will humble Hall a bit. He's still young (24) and has great speed and at times has flashed some skills, but in an era where most NFL teams are looking for character guys, he may be out of work for a while. But, hey, he cashed in, let's see how long that lasts.
