Mr. Johnson is Coming to Town
Insult will be added to injury this Sunday as former Chief Larry Johnson comes to Oakland with his new pals, the Cincinnati Bengals and their high powered offense. Chances are you won’t see Chad Johnson doing any Lambeau Leaps into the Black Hole, but you will see Larr ...

Mantracker to Hunt Al Davis
Some of you may be familiar with a Canadian Reality TV Show called Mantracker, where an expert tracker named Terry Grant pursues two individuals across the wilderness in western Canada. The object for the “prey” is to elude Mantracker and reach the finish line in under ...

Same Old Raiders
How many games were lost to the Chiefs on late game interceptions in the 90s? While that pick by Chiefs safety, Mike Brown, certainly wasn’t the play to lose the game, it was definitely a recognizable moment for long time Raider fans. More key to the loss might have b ...

All Aboard!
While Tom Cable is saying things like “I can see the mountaintop,” anyone who’s paid attention to the Raiders over the last decade knows what Cable is really seeing is the writing on the wall. The light at the end of Cable’s tunnel is the pain train, bearing down on him ...

What’s Gone Right for the Raiders?
Since pointing out what’s gone wrong with the Raiders over the last six and half seasons is like shooting fish in a barrel with a 50mm cannon, with laser guided shells, while the fish are in a coma, it seems high time we took a look at what’s gone right. When looking ...

For Raiders, it’s Time To Cut The Losses
The hits just keep coming for (or from depending on your perspective) Tom Cable, who may or may not be guilty of multiple counts of domestic violence. Any man will tell you striking another man, as Cable was accused of doing to ex-Raider asst coach Randy Hanson, is one ...

Russell, Gannon, Plunket and Stabler
“He has the best arm I’ve seen since John Elway,” announced Al Davis, not long after the giant JaMarcus Russell was drafted by the Oakland Raiders. Unfortunately, Elway had the motivation, willpower and mental capacity to become a winner on football’s biggest stage, all ...

JaMarcus is Officially Out of Touch
Most of you should be familiar with Jerry MacDonald, a great guy who runs a blog for the Contra Costa Times covering the Raiders. A better source for up to date Raider information doesn’t exist. Needless to say, frequent visits to Jerry Mac’s blog are essential to any ...

For Raiders, the more things change, the more they stay the same
As expected, LaDainian Tomlinson was able to pad his Hall of Fame resume once again when facing the hapless Oakland Raiders. Tomlinson visited the end zone twice, which brings his season total to three touchdowns, all of which came while running through Silver and Black ...

Hard for Raiders fans to get charged up for this one
“The season is over.” How many times has that phrase been uttered by Raider fans since the fall of 2003? Far more times than the Chargers have beaten Oakland. Why is it simply okay to allow the air of hopelessness to hang around like a San Francisco fog? The Raiders ar ...

Madden 2010 is Raiders’ only hope
Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter. That’s what the signs over the entrances to McAfee Coliseum should say. In fact, if things remain status quo, that should be the new team motto. Forget Commitment to Excellence, that’s obviously a figment of Davis’s imagination. In fact, ...

Davis Should Give Season Ticket Holders Signing Bonuses
So much for owning the Jets. So much for playing professional football. It would appear the JaMarcus Russell experiment is over in Oakland. However, second-stringer Bruce Gradkowski still seemed to suffer from the same issues, minus the “throw the ball to anyone wit ...

Will the Owner of the Silver & Black Jet Please Report to Lost & Found
No one, including myself, expected Richard Seymour and the Raiders defense to lead the team to a victory over the far superior Philadelphia Eagles last week. No one saw Zach Miller’s 86-yard touchdown coming. No one saw Donavan McNabb getting sacked six times, four of t ...

Cable: Countdown to Unemployment
Anyone who knows anything about the Oakland Raiders is well aware that Al Davis has a short fuse when it comes to losing. Add to that injury the insult of having three big name rookies drafted on the o-side of the ball the last three years, yet the team can’t rack up mo ...

Not Quite Game of the Year…
OK, so it's a little early to call this the game of the year, but who doesn't want to see the Raider play some smashed-mouthed football and just blow the Broncos out of the Oakland Coliseum? Do we have the tools? Well yea we do, the defense has transformed itself into ...

Raiders Rally Late to Win At Kansas City
Watching Jamarcus Russell throughout the day, nobody would have thought he would have been able to pull off the comeback. Four of his Seven completions came on the final Raiders drive. It looked like the Raider Defense of recent years had came out to play on Sunday - ...

Raiders give Chargers all they can handle but fall 24-20 in the end
No one expected the game the Raiders would give the Chargers. NFL analysts had the Chargers picked to shread the Oakland Raider's defense and in not so many words - "It'd be in the Raiders best interest to not show up." The stage was set - Tom Cable making his Head Co ...
