Since drafting Russell in 2007, the Raiders have nothing but set themselves up for failure. Things looked even worse when head coach Tom Cable was accused of punching and breaking the jaw of assistant coach Randy Hanson during 2009 training camp. In ...

Raider Nation has a new Secretary of Defense. He is Butkus Award winning middle linebacker Rolando McClain. The Raiders are coming off of a year where the defense ranked 29th against the run. The new Secretary Of Defense was appointed to fix that problem in Raider Nation. Does Raider Nation really have their man? That is the million dollar question.

Lost in the shuffle of a busy offseason and a disappointing 2009 season is one of the Chicago Bears' primary weapons: The special teams. I know, I know.  Special teams don't sound "sexy" to anyone, but over the course of a long, 16-game regular season, as many as three or four games can be decided strictly on special teams.
