Raiders Got Wang

Oakland Raiders have signed former Buffalo Bills OT Ed Wang.  Wang was drafted by the bills in 2010 and has seen very little action (six games.)  He was the first full-blooded Chinese to ever play in the NFL. His parents are former Olympians and say they started training Ed very young in the fundamentals of sports.


Maybe the Bills overlooked a diamond in the rough like the Golden State Warriors with Jeremy Lin.  Might the NFL see WangSanity come this fall?  Get your #73 Wang jersey while they last folks.


The Raiders hope Ed can backup on the offensive line and help protect the quarterback.  He's got the genes, does he have the heart and skill.  We'll find out soon enough.  In the meantime, what do you call a 6-5, 321 pound American-Chinese sporting a pony tail and earrings?  Clubber Wang? Mt. Olympus? Bolo? No, none of those will do.


Mr. E-Wang I Presume!


Here's a link to "An American Tale," the story of Ed Wang.
