Saying he doesn't want to be remembered as a "bust," quarterback JaMarcus Russell, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2009, is attempting a comeback.
Russell, the former No. 1 overall pick of the Raiders in 2007, has been out of football since Oakland released him after the 2009 season.

He may be a fatass but he has a helluva lot more talent than some of the 3rd stringers in the league. Do I think he'll have the dedication to get in shape? No, but if he does, I bet he'll get invites from a few teams.

On jokingly asking AJ McCarron's girlfriend, Katherine Webb, out on Twitter during the BCS Championship Game:

"It's not that serious. I was just laughing at people responding because people were really thinking that I was gonna put my number on Twitter. … Anybody that knows Darnell Dockett - the real me, not just the football player, not just the guy you see on TV - anyone that knows me personally knows there is never a dull moment in my life. I'm always excited. I'm always thinking of the next gimmick, the next trick. … It was an opportunity. She's a very beautiful girl, but I just feel like somebody who's been modeling and going to Alabama and doing all that country stuff, I just want to take her out of her [element] and bring her to get some of these garlic wings and these barbecue wings, and see a few strippers and things like that, so she can appreciate what she's doing. I'm just giving back to the community in the long run."

On Webb not being his type:

"If I really wanted to get his girl there's a bunch of different ways I'd have went about it. And I would have got her if I really wanted her. But I don't think she's my type. I'm not into the thinner girls and the modelling thing like that. I like hood chicks. I like girls with a couple stab wounds, bullet holes, been knocked up a few times. … I like girls who you know have bad credit when they're 21."
