As Peter Griffin would say, "What grinds my gears," today is an industry of supplements and steroids (not the same, but similar) that has run wild with ridiculous promises. This article is by no means a true essay, because I won't use standard reference notation. Instead, I will simply say that ...Published on: 16th September, 2009
Here is a question that has made me wonder. Obviously, I cannot speculate from first-hand experience, but it seems to me that Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell has accuracy problems when he throws at faster receivers. When he throws at tight-end Zach Miller, he seems to catch everything. Miller fell to the second ...Published on: 15th September, 2009
There are several possible explanations to the Raiders and Chargers game last night. 1) The Chargers are not as good as people thought 2) The Raiders will be better than people thought 3) The Chargers were "rusty," but will build speed 4) The Raiders played impressively and will iron-out the mistakes through the season Of ...Published on: 11th September, 2009

Raider fans and Bronco fans are mortal enemies, and if the Raiders went 1-15, yet won in Denver, I would be happy. I, however, give credit where credit is due. As anyone would know, we ...Published on: 6th September, 2009
We have all heard that no one can give themselves a nickname. I happen to believe the same thing about styles in comedy. A comedian just has to have the confidence to say what he or she believes and let the trained viewers define it. For instance, if you try to ...Published on: 6th September, 2009
When I saw the news that the Raiders had acquired defensive lineman Richard Seymour from the Patriots, I was slightly befuddled. Unlike some writers however, I can see this clearly. If you ask Pete Prisco, he thinks that it is about retaliation by the Patriots. That however is a blessed critique, ...Published on: 4th September, 2009
Here is something that I have pondered. In this economic climate, and now with the prospect of an uncapped NFL season in 2010, I must wonder about the fates of "small market" teams. I say "small market" in quotations because I often wonder about the veracity of that term. For instance, the ...
