Lately, many Raiders fans have had a lot to say about the Raiders' seven-year playoff drought. At one time, when players were cast aside by one team and given a second chance in Oakland, it was the highest honor that a player could have. Players usually responded by playing with a renewed ...Published on: 19th February, 2010
Someone once said that, "those who can not learn from history are doomed to repeat it". I guess that statement can be a matter of perspective depending on whom it's applied to and what part of history is being repeated. Al Davis has seen this statement come to pass as the Raiders ...Published on: 2nd January, 2010
Nine weeks into the season, Al Davis, Tom Cable, and the 2-7 Raiders had finally seen enough of quarterback Jamarcus Russell’s impotent attempts to execute...well…anything.

45-7! That was the final score when the Raiders hosted the New Orleans Saints last Saturday. Since that day, Raider Nation has been anything but positive. There has been panic, anger, and even depression...over a preseason game. A preseason game? So far what I have seen is a coach that has used the ...Published on: 29th August, 2009
For the Oakland Raiders, the annual "Battle of the Bay" matchup vs the 49ers ended up in surrendering 275 yards on the ground on their way to a 21-20 loss. One hundred-forty nine of those yards were to a rookie back named Glenn Coffee. If I were a 49er fan, I wouldn't get ...Published on: 27th June, 2009
It's been a strange offseason in Oakland. In the past, superstar/prima donna's with character issues have found a huge payday waiting for them in Oaktown. After they would sign, we would sit back and watch their lackluster efforts for an entire season, their inflated salary and reputation guaranteed that, despite their hideous numbers, ...
