First I wanted to say I found this article by Gregg Rosenthal (I'm not trying to take credit for his material) posted on PFT today and wanted to share it with the Raider community in hopes maybe some of you living on the West Coast could shed some light on the subject. "NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has spoken about reducing offseason practices for players, but this probably isn't what he had ...

The Indianapolis Colts wrapped up their mandatory mini-camp on Sunday, but the highlight came in their Saturday practice, which was open to the public. It was the first chance for fans to see the Colts since their Super Bowl loss to New Orleans in February. For a team minutes from its second championship in four years, it's easy to understand why fans were excited. There were cheers galore for Peyton Manning, and ...

Stop me if you have heard this one before. The Lions secondary will be better because of the improved defensive line. Makes sense, right. Less time to throw means less time the defensive backs have to cover opposing receivers. And a QB under duress will be less accurate. We might even see a couple of INTs by the cornerbacks this year. But how do you quantify that analysis? If you frequently read my articles, you ...

And many of you stopped reading after the title.  Why should you, or anybody for that matter, care about the fourth wide receiver for the Cardinals? Maybe you shouldn't. Or maybe you should remember how many big plays guys like Jerheme Urban and Early Doucet have made over the last few years.  And if someone like Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston, or the aforementioned Doucet go down with injury, then, all of the sudden, ...

Last year I stacked these two playmakers up, and Bernard Berrian's stats were much better, but it seems like Devin Hester has really improved. Lets take a look. Bernard Berrian: Minnesota Vikings 48th in receptions (55) 61st in receiving yards (618 yards) 122nd in longest reception (40 yards) Tied for 53rd in receiving touchdowns (four) Third highest cap value for a receiver Fourth highest total salary WR   Devin Hester: Chicago Bears 42nd ...

A couple of days ago I wrote an article titled Who Should Sign Terrell Owens . The article was syndicated on Bleacher Report and received a lot of positive feedback. One thing that struck me was how badly Oakland Raiders fans wanted Terrell Owens on their team. In past years, things would have been quite the opposite. For most of Owens' career the media successfully cast ...

This year's NFL season looks to be one of the best in awhile. The Jets have a loaded defense that has been compared to the 1985 Bears, and the New Orleans Saints look to repeat. Who are the top 10 teams in the NFL next season? Well, that is going to be hard to find, due to how great the NFL teams are. Also, at the end of the slideshow I will ...

The roller coaster of the 2009 49ers' defense went around the track violently last year. There were so many ups and downs, that fans who took the ride really didn't know what to expect from week to week. Actually, it made some of us pretty sick. Whether it was getting torched by Aaron Rodgers, a Brett Favre miracle, Donovan McNabb killing us softly, or any one of the other painful performances ...

  2010 World Cup betting players will be waiting to see who wins the Golden Ball, which is given to the best player at the tournament.  NFL betting players can start looking at the candidates for this year’s MVP award, and the rest of the league will be out to stop Peyton Manning’s quest to join Brett Favre as the only players to win three straight MVP awards. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Manning won ...

One of the most intriguing aspects of Raider Nation is their love/hate relationship with the Raiders owner Allen Davis. When the team has success Al is rarely brought up in conversation. Yet when they struggle, he is the evil dictator from hell. At what point do the players and coaches become accountable? Raider Nation is so quick to turn on anyone the media points the finger at. If Jesus was ...
