Is Tom Brady begging for a bone crunching hit? The New England Patriots today defeated the Tennessee Titans by a score of 59-0. This type of game reminds me as to why the Patriots and Brady have no class. Running up the score is a mockery to the traditions of football, admired ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
It has finally happened. The Raiders defense performed the way that Raider fans know it can. Despite some great plays on offense by the Raiders against the Eagles, including an 86 yard catch-and-run by Zach Miller and supported with blocks by Louis Murphy in the Raiders 13-9 upset win over the ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
Offensively this season, the Raiders have struggled, with occasional flashes of brilliance. In the games against San Diego and Philadelphia, most of those flashes came from tight end Zach Miller.

Since 2003, the Raiders been mired in drama, starting most significantly with the ...Published on: 4th October, 2009
Okay, so I have done my share of apologetics for JaMarcus Russell. All indications have been however, that the Raiders do not fully believe in Russell yet, which could be affecting their will to play. To many Raider fans, and even outside critics, the Raiders appeared to have a chance to compete ...Published on: 22nd September, 2009
I remain patient with Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, because I don't fully understand the play-calling by the Raiders, as in why they insist on pass attempts. I also believe that Russell has shown immunity to the idea that a team can destroy the quarterback's confidence if they rush him. Despite ...Published on: 22nd September, 2009
In acts that cannot be precisely articulated in words but were utterly contemptuous, the "unbiased" and "objective" reporters of ESPN's college football coverage, Craig James, Jesse Palmer and the long-time face of ESPN Game Day, Chris Fowler, were caught ridiculing a distraught Clemson fan after a loss to Georgia Tech. ...Published on: 19th September, 2009
After the Monday Night game between the Raiders and Chargers, it is easy for us in Raider Nation to see some light at the end of the tunnel. With that said, the Raiders still have much work to do in order to contend, which I think they can do this year, ...
