From the Easy Chair, Week #1

Well, sports fans, we got the new Cable era off to a start this week, playing one of our prime time games, and if what we saw is what will be, we should feel good and bad about the results. I will let you have it between the eyes this year, from my vantage point [...]

The Silver & Black Lining

If you watched it, you probably feel like I do. Disappointed, angry, unhappy, sad and just plain mad as hell. After you had a chance to reflect, there is much to look forward too. The tide is turning in the AFC West and the AFC. The dominant teams, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Indianapolis, New England, San Diego [...]

An Uncapped Year? It’s about time in Raiderland

OK, not one owner is saying a thing. Check. Goodell says that it hasn’t even become a conversation piece. Check again. The union is now telling its players that a lock out may occur. Check for a third time. We now have confirmation that there will be no forseeable new contract before the beginning of [...]

I hope ‘Coffee’ wakes up the Raiders brass!

In light of last night’s preseason game against the Niners, one thing remains constant: “The Raiders have trouble stopping the run regardless of the coaching staff in place or the opposing running back in the lineup.” For about a decade, I’ve watched our Raider Defense represent the “coming out party” for countless, untested rookie running [...]

Woe is me: The season is over!

I don’t know about you, but I am sick of hearing guys talk about this stuff. Jamarcus is fat, lazy, dosn’t care, offensive line stinks, defense can’t stop the run, no receivers, Al has lost it, this that, I’m getting old, blah, blah, blah. Folks, it’s pre season. This is not the time to panic. [...]
