I'm sure this message has been heard over and over, in the headquarters when Richard is in the building. The problem i'm wondering about is has Richard stopped picking up the phone? Sure, last year he was dealt from New England to the Raiders...had to be as invigorating as catching a bucketful of ice water in the summer time. After the shock wears off, you get to play positive/negative during your spare ...

Oakland, in an interesting pickup, brought in John Henderson, a 31 year old veteran who was let go from the Jaguars earlier this offseason. At first glance, this looks more like a simple pickup, give a cup of coffee and then release him in the crowd of players during the preseason. Oakland has had question marks on players like Donovin Darius, who was picked up in January but gone in the ...

All right....who was the whiner? A short time ago the league elected to kill two OTA practices, after it was deemed that they were "too rough". Aw, I forgot....this isn't football anymore....this is patty-cake and we're supposed to be a kinder, softer team. Yeah, and I'm a Bronco fan with an thing for Denver. This is the same deal the Raiders got slapped with back in 2007, when an entire week was crashed, again ...

It is a horrible thought, but one to consider, knowing that Al Davis controls the team. Oakland last year in the offseason heard a lot about Javon Walker, his "unknown" surgical procedure and his rant that he was ready to prove people wrong. He played the part of his own doctor, declaring himself fit and ready for the season. How much did he play, last year? According to the files at www.pro-football-reference.com ,three games, ...

It can't be a good feeling, knowing your career with a team is almost over. Then again, if being blissfully ignorant is a skill, this may be the greatest master of all time. As rumors swirl around the Internet about the impending demise of JaMarcus Russell, many contemplate his place in history. Top draft pick? Check. Cannon of an arm? Check. Childish behavior? Check. Acts like an overweight, lazy millionaire? Nailed. Russell's biography can not be ...

That, is the $64 question. The Oakland Raiders, currently in the slump of their franchise-lives, are hoping for some form of consistency to emerge this year. Tom Cable, who the media picked to be dead, is still kicking. JaMarcus Russell, depending on who you ask, is lighter or heavier by about 30 pounds. Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, and a cast of second- or third-year players are all hoping that this year's draft will ...

Of all the things the media have said in the last few seasons, how many have had you say bias is rampant in the media? Too many to count. A recent piece of verbal vomit, coughed up a couple days ago, leaked onto Yahoo! and then down the front of the NFL Blogs section, that needs to be addressed. Joe Theismann, this one is for you. First and foremost, I'm sure deep down Joe ...

Well, you had to assume it would happen this way. Donovan McNabb moved, but not to Oakland....to a coach who used to be with the Raiders. Mike Shanahan, the new coach in Washington, just landed McNabb in a trade that involves draft picks, and no CB that costs $16 million for one season. As things stand though, this may be the best thing that could happen for the Raiders. How's that? Well for one, our ...

Some people looking at the Donovan McNabb deal may shake their head at the present situation and say, "How can McNabb not want to come to Oakland?" At the same time, looking at the standing situation, it's kinda hard not to blame him for digging in his heels. First of all, look at what he's leaving behind. He took the Eagles to the Super Bowl, tolerated fans that are known for being ...

As much as the media has been playing up and down the Donovan McNabb deal, two questions keep resurfacing that make the Raider Nation uneasy. The first one is obvious...does this mean that JaMarcus Russell just got tossed under the bus? Or does this mean that Al Davis wants another quarterback to show Russell how to do it, before McNabb's impending free agency next year makes the Raiders kick him loose? The ...
