With every win, I hope as a Raider fan, that it is a sign of better things to come. Since 2003, that has yet to materialize.á Today, however, I actually believed that the Raiders could win when they appeared down and out.á On the game tying drive in the last two minutes against the Cincinnati Bengals, I actually believed that the Raiders would win, even on 4th-and-10. After which, QB Bruce Gradkowski threw a ...

And I'm not just saying that, either. I do believe that in order for professional sports to continue to succeed, they must grow their brands, and dare I say it, globalize. In previous decades, American fans could believe that the best team in the US was also the best team in the world.á No more. Whine, cry, and whimper all you want, the reality of sports has been that as the national economies have ...

I did so because of ESPN's flagrant disregard for integrity and consistency in reporting.á ESPN's Vincent Doria for one, refused to report official charges of rape against Ben Roethlisberger, and yet the same network reported gossip (not charges) against Raiders coach Tom Cable. I prefer the NFL Network, FSN, ...

Anyone who follows my articles knows that one of my favorite pastimes is to berate the Patriots.á I admittedly do so, because it is my only consolation as a Raider fan.á Logically, no amount of mud-slinging can take away from the fact that the Patriots win. For years, Patriot fans ridiculed Raider fans and tried to diminish what the Raiders had achieved, so now we Raider fans get to do the ...

Today, Richard and Mayumi Heene plead guilty to charges related to the infamous "Balloon Boy" stunt. Mr.áHeene pled to felony charges, while Mrs. Heene pled to misdeamenor charges. I would prefer to avoid the jargon of that story and go straight to the point, that being "Balloon Boy" is a lesson for an era based on reality-TV and people that get attention for acting terribly. In their case, they claimed that their son ...

--I have sentáa request to my respective US Senator to investigate ESPN, and I implore that you do so as well-- I had to address this issue.á I thought about saying nothing, because it is a complicated issue, one in which many people have their interests at stake, and so I wonder if I can truly do anything about it, or whether change is even possible.First off, I'm a fan of ...
