Patrick sure has been working his fingers to the bone bringing us all quite a bit of news concerning the silver and black, so he's probably got them packed in ice right now in preparation for reporting tomorrow's events as well.

Jackson is rediculously fast and was a big time playmaker at University of Cal. I would be surprised if he did not play on special teams as the kick returner and punt returner. But there is still a question that lingers in my head. Will he be placed in the slot at wide receiver from day one? I   more...

Took a road trip to Reno on Saturday to hang with some friends and try to make a little cash in the process so I was understandably not available to keep up with the goings on of the Raiders.

When I say Gang Green, I mean the defense. This year, the Eagles might have the best defense that they ever had in the Reid era. Not only that but they may have set up a situation in which they could have a great defense for many years to come. My reasons for saying these things are that our   more...

Being a glutton for punishment, I was watching the NFL Network today and caught them giving the Niners the same treatment that the Raiders got on 'their' day to be previewed on NFL Total Access…Cowboy and Parcells coverage along with an inside look of another team. Oh, and about fifteen minutes of   more...

It's possible that you've taken the time to either read the transcript, a story about them, or even catch some video of the 'event.' If you're like me, you were probably too   more...

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. What was once considered a very proud organization, finding its energy through Raider Nation, now finds itself on a downward spiral in which they still haven't been able to recover.
