So Joe Theismann felt the need to rip JaMarcus Russell during a Sirius radio interview. I wonder what the basis for Joe's opinion was? He couldn't have based this statement on his own career, because if he had, he couldn't have made those comments. Theismann came to the Redskins in 1974. ...Published on: 4th April, 2010
Things have been different lately, as people keep asking about my Oakland Raiders. Mainly they keep asking about Donovan McNabb. I'm not really used to this. Being a Raider fan in an area that mainly supports the Colts, no one usually cares about my team, especially in the offseason. Just the thought of ...Published on: 29th March, 2010
The latest rumor has Donovan McNabb going to the Raiders for a second round pick and/or another player. This makes too much sense for it not to happen. Al Davis is not getting any younger, folks. His future is now. To think he would be worried about whether he can re-sign ...Published on: 7th March, 2010
Like many Raider fans, I eagerly awaited the start of the free agent signing period. I fully expected Al Davis to quickly make a big splash with a flashy signing. I'm still waiting.

It not only solidifies an area of strength, but also keeps the Raiders ...Published on: 14th February, 2010
Just win baby! Speed Kills! Pride and Poise! Commitment to Excellence! These are but a few Raider mottos. As a longtime Raider fan I'd love to see the team turn it around and make all these phrases relevant again. I'd also like to see us win the "Raider Way!" Many have speculated ...Published on: 2nd January, 2010
Back in the 1970s the Raiders and Steelers rivalry was about as intense as it can get. There were cheapshots, trashtalk and lawsuits aplenty. The Raiders in general and George Atkinson specifically were labeled the "Criminal Element " by Steelers coach Chuck Noll. Now more than 30 years later the Steelers ...Published on: 1st January, 2010
Osi Umenyiora is not happy being a New York Giant. http://www.scoresreport.com/tag/giants-to-release-osi-umenyiora/ It appears the Giants aren't happy with him either as he played only about five snaps in their embarrassing home loss to the Carolina Panthers. If they release him they get nothing for a player who should command something in return ...Published on: 31st December, 2009
Something I typically like to do is check out stories and previews from the perspective of the writers who cover the team the Raiders will face that week. This week that means I've been reading a lot about the Baltimore Ravens. From most reports, this game is already a foregone conclusion. ...
