In the Case of Allen vs. the Raiders, Can There Be a Winner?

So Marcus Allen says it’s a joke he is not playing.

Is this the same Marcus Allen who has not had a 1,000-yard season since 1985?

Is this the same No. 32 who has not played a full season in each of the last four years, because of injuries?

Is this the same guy who plays on the same team as Eric Dickerson, probably the best pure runner the game has ever seen?

What is a joke is Marcus Allen’s salary of $1.1 million a year.
