I previously wrote a short article in which I stated that I think halfback Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans is the MVP of the NFL. I said that in belief that Johnson would pass 2,000 rushing yards, which he has just done against the Seattle Seahawks. Not only that, but Johnson ...Published on: 29th December, 2009
The following article is about a few ideas I have pondered over the course of an non-determinable period of time. Firstly, I have long thought that the Raiders should drop "Oakland" from the name, and just say, "Golden State," which I think would attract more fans to the home-games. ...Published on: 22nd December, 2009
It seems to be a popular sentiment amongst fans of the San Diego Chargers that JaMarcus Russell is comparable to their goat to end all goats, Ryan Leaf. Clearly, Charger fans are anxious to move away from the stigma of Leaf, but the reality is, Leaf is their goat from now ...Published on: 20th December, 2009
Okay, so the Raiders have once again shown an uncanny ability against play-off caliber teams with a 20-19 upset of the Denver Broncos, while laying eggs against losing teams like the Washington Redskins. More importantly, the Raiders have pulled off many upsets in Denver since 2001, despite the overall season record. ...Published on: 12th December, 2009
All the talk lately has been about the state of the New England Patriots, which have struggled in the latter half of the season. The Patriots have lost to the Saints, Colts, and division rival Dolphins. The Colts and Saints are undefeated, so those losses are understandable, while the Dolphins only ...Published on: 6th December, 2009
Earlier this year, newly acquired defensive-tackle Richard Seymour guaranteed that the Raiders would be in the postseason. Barring an extraordinary change of events, that is unlikely to happen for the Raiders. However, I do believe that the Raiders can still finish with eight wins, and I believe that the Raiders should ...Published on: 6th December, 2009
Wow. What a fourth quarter that was! After a defensive struggle between the Steelers and Raiders for three quarters, both offenses exploded in the fourth quarter for a combined five touchdowns, with the Raiders upsetting the playoff hopeful Steelers 27-24. The winning touchdown went to Raiders receiver Louis Murphy to cap an ...Published on: 2nd December, 2009
At this point in the season, NFL fans have certainly started to question who will be the NFL MVP. The three names heard most often are the usual suspects: Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and Drew Brees. At this point, Manning or Favre winning MVP is redundant. Moreover, I cannot ignore the presence ...Published on: 29th November, 2009
As Peter Griffin would say, "You know what really grinds my gears?" Tom Brady. I make no bones about that, but that does not necessarily mean that the facts don't support my conclusion. The facts, in fact, support the actuality of that as fact. I have stated many times that I love ...Published on: 29th November, 2009
As a Raider fan, one of the worst days in my memory was when Al Davis traded Jon Gruden to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At the time, it seemed like a fleecing for the Raiders, but Gruden had changed the direction of the Raiders in 1998 by wresting power ...
