We should all wish that Antonio Pierce had something to say about the Raiders every week. One week removed from a performance that was as lackluster and inspired as it was embarrassing, the Oakland Raiders looked themselves in the eyes and asked "Are we not men?" The answer, at least ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
Here is the Week Six edition of my pressures, hurries, and knockdowns. PRESSURES The Entire Organization Can't really pinpoint any particular area, or individual under pressure this week. With Antonio Pierce and Greg Ellis' recent comments, this team is on notice that everyone now knows they're mailing it in, and not giving an ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
Some interesting developments in the last couple of weeks. I was quite ill, which is why I missed a couple articles, but should be no problems going forth. Without further ado, here are my opinions regarding week six in the NFL. PRESSURES San Diego Chargers With the Denver Broncos' somewhat surprising surge to the ...Published on: 15th October, 2009
The collective cries of Raider Nation have fallen on deaf ears. Media criticism and expert analysis has been ignored or sloughed off as "hating."

Well I'm back. Sorry I missed last week, I was pretty ill, but I'm all better now. Hope I can still say that tomorrow after the Giants game. Sorry about the picture too.

Dear JaMarcus, I have been an Oakland Raiders fan for nearly twenty years now. From the moment I saw Bo Jackson on a football field, I was hooked. There have been some good times, some great times, and, especially recently, some bag-over-the-head, crying in your Sunday beer times. Like a good fan I ...Published on: 27th September, 2009
This is the first in what will be a weekly column about the Raiders regarding pressure situations, quick hit thoughts, and myths that have been disproven or are on shaky ground. I am also doing a weekly Pressures, Hurries, and Knockdowns article for the entire league. Thanks for reading, and if ...Published on: 26th September, 2009
Welcome to the first of what will be a weekly column of mine, in which I describe pressure situations in the NFL in the Pressures section, make quick hit points in the Hurries section, and express my thoughts regarding previous truths that have subsequently been disproved or are on ...Published on: 20th September, 2009
The Raiders and Chiefs played yet another closely contested battle today at Arrowhead, with the Raiders pulling out a victory after a late touchdown drive that saw an offense stuck in neutral the entire day finally get it going when it mattered. History will show that JaMarcus Russell showed well on ...
