Is Tom Brady begging for a bone crunching hit? The New England Patriots today defeated the Tennessee Titans by a score of 59-0. This type of game reminds me as to why the Patriots and Brady have no class.á Running up the score is a mockery to the traditions of football, admired only by loser fans that dote over stats. Teddy Roosevelt would be spinning in his grave. Running up the score in the ...

It has finally happened.á The Raiders defense performed the way that Raider fans know it can. Despite some great plays on offense by the Raiders against the Eagles, including an 86 yard catch-and-run by Zach Miller and supported with blocks by Louis Murphy in the Raiders 13-9 upset win over the Eagles. The real story of the Raiders upset win over the Eagles was the defense.á After getting destroyed in the previous three ...

Offensively this season, the Raiders have struggled, with occasional flashes of brilliance. In the games against San Diego and Philadelphia, most of those flashes came from tight end Zach Miller. The problem has been that defenses key-in on Miller and negate his presence, partially from a lack of support from the rest of the offense. It might not sound glamorous, but the Raiders need to respond by getting the ball to Miller by ...

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't looking forward to the Raiders-Eagles game. I figured that the Raiders had no chance, since the Eagles needed a win, they have the highest scoring offense in the NFL, and the Raiders had been destroyed in the previous three weeks. I even joined the choir against the Raiders and Al Davis.á The underlying theme of my opinions has always been: Win, or I willátell ...

Clearly, the Tom Cable experiment is not producing in Oakland and my patience with the Raiders has worn thin. Anyone who follows my articles would know the level of my passionate support of the Raiders, through thick and thin and against the incessant taunts. And especially, the attempts to characterize the Raiders as the worst sports franchise ever.á That though is just insane bias. Al Davis and the Raiders are just a prime ...

It is my belief that the New York Jets fired Eric Mangini more for the pick of Vernon Gholston in 2008 than for the failed experiment with Brett Favre. As a rookie, Gholston was a disaster and the Jets missed the playoffs, when the Jets could have selected QB Joe Flacco.á Perhaps Gholston will eventually emerge, as Bryan Thomas has, but as of now, Gholston is in the "flop" category. Fortunately for ...

Right now, any honest Raider fan knows that they have at best no momentum, and more precisely, negative momentum. This article is more of a lament on the status of the Raiders, after what had been a promising off-season. Since 2003, the Raiders been mired in drama, starting most significantly with the Dumbest Coach in America, Bill Callahan, and his diatribe against a team that had struggled after losing the Super Bowl ...

Okay, so I have done my share of apologetics for JaMarcus Russell. When I see a rookie quarterback like Matthew Stafford succeed in Detroit, DETROIT, I can no longer bare the apologetics. All indications have been, that the Raiders do not fully believe in Russell yet, which could be affecting their will to play. Russell couldn't the broad side of barn right now and needs a reality check. To many Raider fans, and even ...

I remain patient with Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, because I don't fully understand the play-calling by the Raiders, as in why they insist on pass attempts. I also believe that Russell has shown immunity to the idea that a team can destroy the quarterback's confidence if they rush him.  Despite the struggles, Russell has managed to focus under pressure, leading the Raiders to victory over the Chiefs on the final ...
