The hilarity of the episode can’t be understated. It was a playoff game in January 1983. The New York Jets were on the road playing the Los Angeles Raiders. A phone call came through to the Jets locker room at halftime. Jets head coach Walt Michaels was handed the phone. The ...Published on: 19th October, 2009
Let's hope the hard-fought win over the Eagles was not the shining moment for the Raiders this season. It's nice to be 2-4 instead of 1-5, but let's see this win for what it is—a great defensive effort and a barely acceptable offensive effort. The running game still has not emerged and ...Published on: 16th October, 2009
"There must be some kind of way out of here," Said the joker to the thief, There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief." -All Along The Watchtower, Jimi Hendrix If only the cloud of dust would dissipate and we could get a clear picture of what really happened between Randy Hanson and Tom ...Published on: 15th October, 2009
Let's play what ifs. If Jon Gruden was given the personnel authority he needed as head coach of the Oakland Raiders, would the Raiders have made it to the super bowl in 2002? Why not? Would Tampa Bay have made it to the SB without Gruden? Nah. Even without pointy headed Tony ...Published on: 14th October, 2009
How sad is it I cannot find any really cheap Raiders tickets online (except for 300 section nosebleed which SUCK regardless of what anyone hypes otherwise). You would think people want to unload their tickets any way they can but people spent a few hundred (or a few thousand) bucks ...Published on: 12th October, 2009
Is it coincidence Randy Hanson chooses to speak to the media rather than wait for criminal charges to play out against his former boss, Tom Cable? Hardly. I'm not a lawyer, nor do I have any significant knowledge of the legal field. BUT it doesn't take much to realize that by speaking ...Published on: 7th October, 2009
Most fans would seem to be writing off the Raiders season as yet another washout. Though, a win for Oakland on Sunday against the mighty NY Giants would be a huge boost for the franchise and the sullen Raider Nation. Is it possible? We have to consider that it is possible if ...Published on: 7th October, 2009

Let's put it this way, for the Columbia Lions to have plastered the Princeton Tigers 38-0 this past weekend is more than a historic achievement. I don't have the patience to check the history of Lions football but it could the first time in a very long time Columbia has won ...Published on: 5th October, 2009
In just a short stretch, Tom Cable went from an NFL offensive line coach with a stellar reputation to being on the brink of another failed Raiders head coach. He just might add a rap sheet to his resume as well. Is the franchise cursed? Probably, but it seems outlandish to ...
