PLAYERS: John Madden
TEAMS: Florida Panthers
Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that he hung out with former Raiders coach John Madden today at his man cave in Pleasanton, and the Hall of Famer said Raiders coach Dennis Allen was “playing without a full deck” this season. Oakland finished 4-12 in Allen’s first year on the job. “He’s got a ways to go,” Madden said. “He was playing the game without a full deck. To be honest, they don’t have enough players. The cupboard was pretty bare. It would have been touch to do much more than what they did. “If he’s going to do well, they gotta get a lot more … some teams need a quarterback or a running back, or a pass rusher … The Raiders need a whole barrel of guys.” Source: San Francisco Chronicle

Dan Spiegel: Kulikov Mysteriously MIA

Dmitri Kulikov's Panther teammates began their shortened camp today in preparation for the season opener against Carolina Saturday night. Kulikov might be in Russia.

John Madden: Colin Kaepernick reminds me of Usain Bolt

Saying Colin Kaepernick ran all over the Packers on Saturday doesn’t even begin to describe it. Kaepernick did what no quarterback had ever previously done in the NFL game. His 181 rushing yards were the most by a quarterback in any game. You’re not far off if you think Kap transformed into Eric Dickerson in that game. He was 67 yards away from eclipsing Dickerson’s playoff...
