Almost a year ago, Al Davis pulled his predictable unorthodoxy by selecting Derrius Heyward-Bey with the seventh overall pick of the NFL Draftùa receiver that some had as a third-round pick. Mr. Davis is no stranger to head-scratchers.á And a little question keeps chattering: Would Al Davis be "crazy" enough to take Tim Tebow at eighth overall in the 2010 NFL Draft? Most wonder where Tebow will fall in the NFL Draft, and ...

Raider Nation seems to be waiting in much anticipation for the 2010 off-season to begin, despite knowing that what Al Davis wants, Davis will get, and a kick in the teeth to everyone else. Raider Nation has afforded Big Al his stubbornness for a few simple reasons: a) three Super Bowl wins, b) 40 years with the highest winning percentage in the NFL, c) he's won by his way in the ...

Let me start by saying that I can imagine people will either love this idea, hate it passionately, or just wouldn't count on it, but I had to find out what people think. The Denver Broncos have a predicament with their star receiver Brandon Marshall, who has stated that he wants out of Denver.á His rookie contract expires this year; however, if no CBA is signed, Marshall will be an RFA ...

It is that time of year again. You know, the time of year when technically the days are getting longer and brighter, while the bulb in Al Davis' head never seems to change? That, and it's alsoáthe time of year when fans of teams on the outside of the postseason start looking ahead to the Draftáand what may come from free-agency. If no CBA isásigned with the PlayersáUnion, free-agency willábe much ...

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 also broke the NFL record for yards from scrimmage set by Marshall Faulk for the St. Louis Rams in 1999. Faulk ...

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. Secondly, I might be in the minority on this one, but I think the "Back in Black" theme song ...

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 until the end of time. Leaf is an incomparable joke that resonates throughout time. When the Chargers selected Leaf, they traded ...

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.á Anytime the Raiders beat the Broncos though, especially at Denver, I'm happy with the season.á Thisáwin also served as nice payback ...

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.á The Colts and Saints are undefeated, so those losses are understandable, while the Dolphins only squeaked out a win, thus the media and fans have declared that the sky is falling. The Patriots decided to plan ...
