"To Tell the Truth" was an old television show that grabbed the interest of the American public for many years. Sometimes, don't you wonder what goes on in the locker room of the Oakland Raiders? One book that I refer to, from time to time, has a chapter on "The Locker Room." Anthony Prior is the author of a somewhat controversial book, and he was in the locker room with the ...

When you study calculus and learn about a limit, you realize that if the function is oscillating near a given value on the x axis, then the limit does not exist. A conclusion cannot be drawn when we look at the data for the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos. Since this data shows an oscillating pattern, I, personally, do not want to hear commentators talking about the Broncos being consistently better ...

The Fourth of July is a day we celebrate freedom, justice, liberty, and independence. Freedom can take on so many different meanings. It can mean so much to the Oakland Raiders to embrace the freedom that comes with a victorious season in 2010. Were you recently laid off? Well, you probably are seeking and searching for a job so that you can have the money to enjoy life without a lot ...

The fruit of the labor of the Oakland Raiders would be to win the championship in the AFC, and to win another Super Bowl. Sometimes it is helpful to connect the behaviors in one area to those of another. Tennis Mantis, a 19-year-old college student, who listens to the little gems of wisdom that just might inspire the Oakland Raiders, has something to say. Let's just say that out of the mouths ...

If the level of reads is an indication of the level of interest and spirit of the Oakland Raiders and Raider Nation, then Raider Nation wins a "championship" of more reads on the Bleacher Report team page than most other teams.

Well, this day is special so I have decided to plant a tree in memory of the great fathers of the Oakland Raiders and for the fathers who are Oakland Raiders. It will be a palm tree. Now, let's get something straight up front. ...

Most things in life can be described as continuous or elastic, or as some type of function or its inverse. Let's just say that the Oakland Raiders are seeking to regain their continuity and elasticity. They are trying to construct an set of inverse functions to reverse the patterns of the past seven years. For example something is continuous if it does not have holes or breaks and has no loss of mass. This ...

You probably heard about the lightning that struck Touchdown Jesus in Ohio. The statue was a symbol of hope for travelers, and it burned down. However, it was not the Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame, where Tim Brown played football, that burned down. It was the symbol of hope in Monroe, Ohio. All I could think of is that we certainly don't need to lose hope, nor do we need any symbols ...

Have you ever planted seeds in a garden? Do you know that the word garden comes from a Hebrew word, "gan"? Well, as usual, I have been doing a lot of research on the Oakland Raiders.  Here is the thought that came to mind: Just think of a garden as a place of restoration, growth and healing. This very thought applies to what is expected to happen during the training season ...

It may surprise you to learn that the Oakland Raiders may need a lesson in football physics. There are examples of lessons that may enhance the players understanding of the object that spins, rotates, and glides through a substance called air.
