Loading ...Mine Has Been A Frustrating Tenure: (Silver And Black Pride)
Posted November 15, 2008 at 8:32 pmThis Blog began when Art Shell was roaming the sideline, for a second time, and Tom Cable was an Offensive Line Coach for Michael Vick’s O-Line…You KNOW that the Falcons were Vick’s team.
The Offensive Coordinator, and this is no joke, had come out of retirement to run the “Vertical” Offense. The joke isn’t so much as the fact that the “Vertical” Offense is obsolete, it …

Posted November 7, 2008 at 2:52 pmIf the Raiders had anything definitive on the condition of quarterback JaMarcus Russell and his right knee, they were wisely keeping it to themselves.
Russell was listed as questionable to start Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, and the tendonitis in his right knee was significant enough for him to miss Friday’s practice after sitting out [...]

Posted October 18, 2008 at 2:51 pmTim Brown volunteered to help Al Davis save the Raiders this week, and as usual, made a convincing case.
It was a compelling interview on Sacramento’s KHTK (1140-AM), which isn’t surprising because Brown is almost always compelling.
Every so often, you read or hear about a guy who through force of personality, makes himself a doctor, a [...]

Posted October 7, 2008 at 1:37 amAl Davis is known for loathing disciplinarians as coaches. He believes that it is important for the locker room to police itself. Once upon a time that idea worked perfectly. The Raiders had their zany characters, but the core of the team was the solid vets with names like Jim Otto, Gene Upshaw, and Art [...]

Posted October 4, 2008 at 6:34 pmSo I’ve been screaming from the roof tops under just about every post about how bad Al Davis is for the Raiders. I figured that if I’m going to tell everyone there is a problem I should try to offer up a solution too. You may think that this stuff won’t change anything, but that’s not entirely true. If fans start talking enough then …

Q: Your immediate reaction when you heard the news about Lane Kiffin being fired?”

Posted October 1, 2008 at 3:53 amAs a Raider fan, I want nothing more than what’s good for the team, and moves made in the best interest of the team are more important than looking good for the media. This is why, as a fan, I can no longer be upset with Al Davis, based on the press conference from yesterday and the horrible feeling that interview with Lane Kiffin gave …
