According to Bob Glauber's account on Newsday.com, Seymour complained that he learned about the trade by phone, and said, "I wouldn't have handled the situation that way. I'd at least have called him into the office and looked at him face-to-face, not over the phone. To each his own. I moved on from the situation. I wish them nothing but success." In the same conference call, Seymour ripped into the Giants and particularly linebacker Antonio Pierce. Two weeks ago, the Giants embarrassed the Raiders, 44-7, and Pierce later said that the game felt like a scrimmage and that Oakland did not play with any kind of pride. The following week, the Giants themselves were blown away by Drew Brees and the Saints, 48-27. "They got what they deserved this week," Seymour said. "I'm not sure how many points the Saints scored on them, but if I'm not mistaken, it was about half a 100 points. He's got enough to chew on with that." Most surprising of all, Seymour made an appearance yesterday on Two Deep Zone, a radio show hosted by former players Artrell Hawkins and Charles Fisher, and he just about guaranteed that his widely dismissed 2-4 Raiders are postseason-bound. "You can mark it down," Seymour said. "The Raiders will be in the playoffs in 2009."

Richard Seymour was one of the best players Patriots had and I wish him the best with the Raiders. For him, I hope you make it to the playoffs, we'll see you there :)

Seymore believes in the Raiders so much that he refused to report for practice for several days after the trade was completed. Richard, thank you for your time and effort while you were a Patriot. Now please be quiet and collect your paycheck in Purgatory (a.k.a. Oakland).

Quick question; when Seyour held out of camp two times to get a better contract (never mind that he was already under contract), did he tell Belichick face to face that he wasn't coming to camp?
This guy is a total douchebag. When he held out of camp, he said "it's just business". When New England traded him, wasn't it "just business" then, too?
Of course, I'd be bitter too if I got traded to the Raiders. But guaranteeing that the Raiders will make the play-offs makes Seymour look ridiculous.

Bill Belichick is a first class moron. He's like dealing with Captain Blye...either do as he says exactly or you either don't get to play or get traded to a team that hasn't a snowballs chance of doing anything.
This jerk should have been suspended for the whole spygate incident, instead he's slapped on the wrist.
I hope the Raiders do make the playoffs only to trounce the Patriots...

Carol... you're a first class moron for claiming Belichick and the Patriots cheated. An ex co-worker of Belichick claimed that he had seen Belichick cheat, even claimed he had the tapes. But when he was asked to present them, he said he was forced to destroy them. Mangini then backed him up AFTER being released.
So for that, I apologize for your involuntary envy and jealously of the entire Patriots' organization, including it's fans.
