Source: Raiders to sign Keller today
By Jon Becker
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 at 9:46 am in Oakland Raiders.
UPDATE: Steve Corkran reports that Keller’s signing is official. The Raiders waived QB Erik Meyer to make room for him.
Looks like the Raiders’ backup quarterback situation is going to get a bit more muddled, with word coming from a source close to Sam Keller that the ex-San Ramon Valley High, Arizona State and Nebraska signal-caller will sign with Oakland today.
Keller worked out with the Raiders at a post-draft mini-camp, but left without signing a contract. The Raiders later re-signed Marques Tuiasosopo, who joined Andrew Walter as the main competitors to back up JaMarcus Russell.
Keller would join Erik Meyer and Jeff Otis, giving the Raiders six quarterbacks heading into training camp in July. Our reporters thought Keller was actually more impressive than both Otis and Meyer in May.

Good morning Raider fans…
Note, for the George Carlin fans, HBO will be running some of the specials he did for them starting tonight at 8 pm and Thursday night at 8 pm as well. For you youngsters or for those that have never seen George Carlin, you might want to check him out if you have HBO.
No comment on Kelly, stick with Walter and Tui.

June 25th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Signing Keller would be a smart move. He clearly has talent and potential. Andrew Walter doesn’t fit the system, he just doesn’t have the mobility and should be traded. The big issue is whether Tui has enough talent/presence to hold down the back-up job. If he does, then a trio of JR, Tui and Keller looks balanced and compatible. If not, then Dilfer is worth a look as the experienced back-up.
Keller gives us the raw materials to train JR’s long-term back-up.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Any word on Nnamdi Asomugha? This guy hasnt singed his franchise tender and no word on a long term deal i hope this guy gets signed already Jordan should be released to make room on the cap to pay Nnamdi already whats going on!!!!!

Sam Keller QB 6’4 241 Nebraska 4.91
By: Robert Davis
Keller spent his first three seasons of college at Arizona St. He took over the starting job as a junior in 2005, and had an amazing start to the season. In the first seven games, he threw for 2,165 yards and 20 TD’s to just nine interceptions until he went down with a hand injury. A QB battle in which Rudy Carpenter was named the starter caused Keller to transfer to Nebraska, where he sat out the 2006 season. His only season with the Huskers was cut short with a left shoulder injury but he still managed to throw for 2,422 yards, while completing over 63% of his passes for 14 touchdowns and ten interceptions.
Keller has all the skills to develop into a quality pocket passer. He has a very good arm, capable of making every throw on the field. He is not afraid to unleash the ball all over the field, and has the confidence in his ability to make big plays. Keller has good size and the frame to be able to take hits in the pocket and continue to get up. He still has some development and upside left in his game.
Inconsistency has been the big issue with Keller. He has made some questionable decisions at times, and may believe in his arm too much. He will try and force the ball into coverage to make a play instead of seeing the field and making the smart decision. He also has less that two seasons of starting experience at the college level, so he still needs more work.
Sam Keller is a quarterback that needs more time, but has the skills to develop. He needs more experience overall, especially in the aspect of reading a defense. If a team can have some patience and be willing to develop his skills, he is a player that could develop into a legitimate NFL quarterback.

I just hope Nnamdi Asomugha doesn’t ask the Raiders not to franchise him next year before he signs the offer sheet.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:39 am
I hope Nnamdi doesnt do that we need him on this team i hope he doesnt hes my favorite defensive player and a home grown talent.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:42 am
He deserves that big contract without a doubt i hope Al will give it to him hes got phenomenal skills and is a stand up guy good character and never has problems off the field he would set a great example for the others on the team for years to come. I say pay da man AL whats the hold up?????
June 25th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Nnamdi is doing what all other franchise players do and that is sit out of practices until they are mandatory. Because of the obvious reason, injury and no guarantee in a franchise on year contract.
wearing the franchise tag is not a popular thing in the NFL because if you get hurt your screwed. So why show up for voluntary practice and risk injury.
Don’t worry by mini camp he will be there and ready to go.

June 25th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Now that Shane Olivea has been banned for four games for failing a drug test, any team could get him for the minimum. Okay, we won’t be available until Week 5 and he wasn’t hugely impressive for the Bolts in 2007. BUT. The Shane Olivea of 2004 to 2006 was one of the best OTs in the league and if we could get his head straight and his motivation sorted, I think he would be a bargain.
We desperately need some quality depth at OT. Harris is a gamble. Green is a journeyman. McQuistan isn’t trusted and Henderson isn’t (yet) tough enough.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:01 am
I have a report on Sam Keller his strengths are makes big plays with arm and legs shows the athleticism to avoid sacks when sensing pressure.Has the body control to reset and throw accurately when scarmbling.Tends to set up and throws quickly.when striding into passes,he makes NFL throws with velocity and accurately.weaknesses struggles to consistently to make good decisions and accurate throws in tight situations.he threw bad ints in important college games.has trouble with footwork.sometimes gets flat footed and relies on his arm strngth to delver the ball loseing accurately allowing defenders more time to break on the ball.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Keller is a project. We need a proven back-up, not Tui & sure as hell not Walter.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:08 am
I hope so July 25 we need Nnamdi signed and in camp preferably to a big 5-6 year deal.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Scottish,
He was banned for illicit drugs and SD said he seemed to have “lost his motivation.”
Looks like the dude is finished, why risk exposing our young ones to more trouble? I know we need more depth, but this guy is not the answer…unless we hire Dr. Phil and check him in to the Betty Ford clinic.
At this point in the offseason it is going to be pretty difficult to upgrade the o-line. Hopefully the o-line and d-line are priorities in the next offseason.
Pray that Cable can work more miracles.

May give you a little insight on Walker.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Dakota,
You’re probably right. I am just really concerned about our lack of alternatives at LT and the search for a credible starter at RT.
I thought McQuistan did a reasonable job at RT for the last five games of the 2007 season. He looked like a possible long-term solution, but he isn’t even getting any RT reps.
We might not yet be desperate enough to take a risk on Olivea, but we aren’t far away.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Hello!!! I found myself,WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 25th, 2008 at 11:29 am
If Keller has shown retention of the playbook since the Spring, it would appear he is already battling Andrew Walter for the #3 spot. Tui was groomed under Gruden, and Kiff appears to be using a similar offensive philosophy as Gruden.
Tui is already the #2, without it being said, although Walter has more potential to be trained-up further. Ironic that Walter still has trade value, where Tui would have none if he were offered up.
At the risk of putting too much faith in the young defensive linemen who appear to be impressing everyone in OTA’s and such — it’s time to package Walter in trade to a team that can better use his talents, in exchange for another WR or offensive lineman. AW could start for any number of teams in this league, and those teams’ GM’s know it. Couldn’t have an easier contract to trade, either.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Wow. That was am insightful article. I’ll admit, I slammed Javon pretty hard. But, it is a pretty sad situation. Hopefully, he’ll seek some sort of help. For his sake and ours.

June 25th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Kudos to AD for bringing in Keller. We need competition at reserve QB so that a trustworthy #2 emerges and we can trade away Walter – our only player with trade value who we can afford to dump.
I would love Keller to have a great camp, trade Walter (and the big dummy #34?) for some depth at OT, WR or SAM LB, and let Tui finish his otherwise unremarkable NFL career as a loyal Raider third-stringer. #3 QB is the one position where an AD scholarship type player is OK.
I also wouldn’t mind if Walter went somewhere in the NFC and lived up to his talent. He had a relatively good attitude while getting pummelled 2 years ago, and deserves better than he’ll get in Alameda.
Food for thought: Can you imagine how Gannon would have reacted if he were the starter under Walsh/Shell? NUCLEAR. In that scenario, I actually think Gannon would have gotten Shell fired mid-season.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Jordan for Shockey is an absolute pipe dream. Jordan essentially has no trade value because of his inflated contract. The Raiders will just have to cut him loose. Everybody knows it. Plus, while I would definitely like to see Shockey in Silver & Black, I doubt the Raiders would want to do that to Z. Miller after the promise he showed as a rookie.
Shockey is an OK blocker, not great but servicable, but he is a great playmaker who the Giants have under-utilized for years. He’d definitely be a great personality fit in Oakland. Fiery, tough and a bit of a headcase. I remember watching this Giants-Eagles playoff game at a bar two years ago, and the place just went berserk on this play by Shockey:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx02CbpPcGY
———
Walter doesn’t seem to fit. He never had a great opportunity, but I don’t like QBs with zero mobility. You could point to the game’s top 2 QBs and say that mobility doesn’t matter. But Brady and Manning both are excellent at avoiding the first wave of pass-rushers and then hitting an open receiver — usually for a big gain.
Walter is more in the mold of Kerry Collins and Drew Bledsoe. Those guys both had decent careers behind a pair of big arms, but they’re absolute statues and turnover machines. That’s why their careers are finishing up as backups. Bledsoe, Collins and Walter all still have elite arms, but the immobility of all three makes them prone to an excessive number of turnovers and sacks.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Scottish — Almost without exception, every one of the “problem child” players let loose in the past year, has done something to further their suspensions, or otherwise add to their bad reputations.
How many times on this board have we seen guys crying for a player (Henry, Thurman, et al) who ends up being at least as bad (or stupid) as his rep? Every time that happens to a player who occupies a coveted roster-spot, it moves the team back, not forward.
We want football questions and answers, not questions of character. Look at the hype surrounding Javon Walker — a guy who appears to have done nothing other than exersize his right to be stupid at times.
Imagine what it would’ve been like if this happened on a night off a few months from now. Assuming Javon is worth the money (even half the money) of his contract, this event would’ve been devastating to a team that needs every player to be responsible for his actions — on and off the field.
Characters, yes. But, no more players of questionable character.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Shockey is a white Randy Moss. He’ll show up when winning but become a distracting headcase on a losing team. We just dumped a few players with similar mental shortcomings (Porter, Fabe, Brayton) and we’re about to jettison our last example: Lamont “I may be outta shape, but at least I don’t know the playbook” Jordan.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:57 am
OK, maybe not our last example. MeAngelo Hall and Walker certainly need to prove they are grown men when winning AND losing.

June 25th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Our QB situation is baaaaaad if J.R. goes down. Tui is worse than McCown who would have been a good back-up/mentor/role model for JaMarcus. He’s the type of guy that could come in for a couple games and run the offense o.k. Tui is terrible and Walter doesn’t fit the scheme. Keller is merely camp fodder – I’m sure he’ll be better than Otis and Meyer, but he’s in the same mold of Walter, tall and slow, except not as good. We need a vet than has won some games in this league – Leftwich is still out there and I thought he was better than Culpepper, who is also still out there. Culpepper obviously doesn’t want to be a mentor and still considers himself a starter, so his attitude can go someplace else. Leftwich has won some games without Randy Moss and would probably appreciate the opportunity – he’s not mobile, but he could hand the ball off and make some plays off play action, something that Tui can’t do because he can’t see the field. Losing McCown and his one year of experience in the system hurt us because we could have had an open competition for the other QB spot with Walter – we should have gone after Andre Woodson or Dennis Dixon as developmental players – Right now we’ve got 6 QB’s with something like 10 games of NFL experience between them. We have to go after somebody that has done it at this level.

June 25th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
JR won’t go down because we will be running the ball 30-40 times per game. Kiffin is going to do what Gruden did not, which is listen to Davis and throw deep once in a while.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
LMN – You could show up to our country in your uniform because our uniforms are sitting in another country helping someone else.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Gruden had a QB with poor downfield arm strength and WRs who couldn’t run past anybody. I don’t blame him for not going downfield. I blame Gruden for being too conservative, especially when we had the heady vets necessary to execute risky gameplan (which Trestman DID do after we traded Chucky).
June 25th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
LMN…#36 Very good point there, Miller should be an ALL-PRO for many years.
Who you got in the match. Germany or Turkey?
June 25th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Keller is a nice addition of talent. I thought he was going to stick and he got cut so I’m happy to see him back. Hes has to be better than Meyer and Otis. The thing that concerns me about Tui is that Gruden drafted him but Gruden didn’t pick him up when he was a free agent and Gruden has no problem picking up 12 QB’s at one time. Why would the man that supposedly drafted him to be the successor to Gannon, not pick him up and give him a tryout? I honestly don’t see Keller being better than Walter.
Walter was a 3 year starter who wasn’t injury prone until he hurt his shoulder his senior year. He got beat down in the Shell/Walsh era and continued to get up again and again. Hes tough and more polished than Keller.

June 25th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
I agree with the poster who wants Olivea – having a bonified starter at ROT would be key for us – it will allow us to send Miller out into pass patterns more often and help out whoever starts at LT with the FB or RB. The core of our line should be o.k. with Gallery, Wade (or whoever beats him out, by the way, bring in LeCharles Bentley please), and Carlisle. None of our OT’s are upper eschelon players so JR won’t know where the pressure is coming from because he’ll have to consistely focus on both edges. All we need is one stud at either one of the OT positions and we won’t have to compromise our scheme too much by keeping in extra blockers. Adding McFadden will definetly help by keeping the D honest with draws, screens, motion to the slot, etc. but in those 2 minute situations or if we get behind and are forced into obvious passing situations, we’re going to be hurting, but not as bad as last year since we added some speed at WR and JR has the arm to get the ball down the field.
I feel with the new talent, another year in the system, and our weak schedule, and how close we were to winning 5 more games last year we should win 10-12 games this year on paper, but we’re not going to go far in the playoffs (if things work out) having to compensate for two sub-par OT’s that will constrict our scheme in the pass game. Obviously the goal is the super bowl, so needs at OT and Dline still need to be addressed over the next couple of years before we’re legit contenders.

Ever heard Shockey speak? He doesn’t respect anybody, and he has the same surly attitude even when in a good mood. Shockey’s just another spoiled, slightly over-rated ego case — with a limited vocabulary filled with “me’s” and “I’s.” Why do we want to keep adding “me-first” guys to this roster? Egos are fine, but team-players are what this team needs — no matter how good a guy is.
June 25th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Lorenzen is worth a look. He’s got a big arm and might actually be better than Tui, Walter and Keller. He’s not great but he should definitely land another job somewhere in the league.
Leftwich was awesome in college and showed some nice flashes as a pro. If he wasn’t so injury prone he’d be starting somewhere in 2008. I’d rather have him than Culpepper or any other free agent QB, if the price is right.
Leftwich is as good or better than half the starting QBs in the league, IMO.

FYI
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has prohibited the use of the word “ketchup” on product labels unless the product conforms to a set of strict guidelines. Despite the more general origins of the word, all products marketed as ketchup in the United States must be thickened only with tomato solids, and the viscosity of the sauce must be within a very narrow range. The nutrient content of the sauce is also tightly regulated.
Ketchup has been shown to provide significant health benefits but many argue that these benefits are counterbalanced by the food’s salt and sugar content. Ketchup has been found to be a beneficial source of lycopene, an antioxidant which may help prevent some forms of cancer. This is particularly true of the organic brands of ketchup. In fact, organic brands were found to contain three times as much lycopene as non-organic brands

I get your point, the similarities are general, the ball was round, but made of stone. I was just re-iterating your point that soccer is the worlds most popular sport and similar versions of the sport have been played for hundreds of years.
Football is still so much more entertaining than soccer in my opinion. Personally in order to enjoy soccer I must have a vested interest, unlike basketball or football where I can still enjoy watching watching the game even if my favorite teams aren’t involved.

yup =)true, I understand why…
but remember soccer as it is played in the US is mostly boring to us as well , it has nothing to do with real soccer, and you need to follow it for at least 2 years to understand the formations, tactics and the reasons behind the changes before and during a game… and by follow it. I mean the Champions league, the Uefa cup, and the national leagues plus the national teams games…

the World cup has very little to do with real soccer too…
its the clubs, who let you understand how the game works. The National teams play after a philosophy… the clubs are in for the money! and they have multiple nationalities on their roster…
World Cup is dead last in priority! Euro Cup, is way harder than the World cup, I know it doesn’t seem logic, but is true…
remember if the US team tried to qualify to the Euro Cup, even small nations with 1 million inhabitants would smash your… By that I mean, the quality of the world cup is much lower than the Euro cup…
but the real deal are Champions league and Uefa Cup.. thats where it happens… national teams are a holiday compared to the clubs =)

LMN, It’s easy for someone from a country that has never even sniffed a World Cup title to pooh-pooh it. I would imagine that Brazilians and Italians feel a little differently. Actually, I don’t have to imagaine — I’m married to a Brazilian and was in Brazil when they won their last one in 2002. It’s a HUGE deal. But for a Dane to say the World Cup is no big deal is kind of like a Charger fan saying that winning the Super Bowl is no big deal. Win one, and then you can talk.

After reading that article on ESPN.com about Javon today I now realize that there are some bigger issues at work here. Serious emotional issues. I don’t know about any of you guys, but I have never had anyone die in my arms, let alone a good friend.
I just hope he can find peace in his life, because if he doesn’t it WILL manifest itself on the field either by poor play or by just plain losing his desire to succeed.
Javon Walker needs to see a grief counselor and stop running from his pain. Learn from it, use it as strength and move on. He is probably still stuck on January 1, 2007.

Great point, you may be right about addiction problems. Serious grief can only compound those kind of problems. Sometimes serious grief can even cause addiction. Anything to hide from feelings that are too hard to face.
Then again Javon could just be a compulsive gambler/champagne sprayer that does blow like his name is Tony Montana. But I have a feeling it runs deeper than that.
Either way he needs to get his S together soon. I just hope football is his only sanctuary and he pours everything he has into it. I won’t hold my breath though.

you are absolutely right if you only think about merits (merits and knowledge isn’t comparable) … but the italian coach Lippi who won the World Cup with italy and who will become caoch again after Donadoni…said it as well, so did Klinsmann…. they won everything…
another argument that the european leagues are harder than the world cup…The entire brazil team all plays for European teams…
If you took Man U (winners of Chp League) and played them against brazil, Brazil would lose…
In spain you first root for your local team, then for the biggest team in spain (usually barca/Real) and lastly their national team… uhh and btw, its just as huge in spain as in Brazil… so it paint the picture pretty well…

well yeah!! have in mind we are only about 5.5m here! and most people here was against it, then its a lot, go do the percentage…
640 / 5,500,000*100 = 0.011%
33,000 / 300,000,000 = 0.011&

what you need to have in mind, is how many nations do you have as allies ?? not that many, this is more a game of numbers of nations, than a game of soldiers!

Dogg,
If I lived in Denmark maybe I would just have to call in the government to fix my proken prinkler…gladly worth 60% of my income!
June 25th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Dakota,
You may be right about the US’s contributions in WWII, not to mention WWI as well, but other than that we have offered very little in contributing to rest of the world’s advancement during our nation’s brief existence. Don’t be suprised by the way others look upon us.
Sincerely,

wtf??? broken sprinkler!!!!!
June 25th, 2008 at 3:36 pm

I guess I was wrong about the sprinkler system then. That’s good news anyway.
On another note I hear that the Beard may be headed to Detroit.

Dogg,
I heard that…Wallace and Chauncey for the Beard???
Do you like that deal?
June 25th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Dakota -
Not really, mostly because of the age difference. The Beard is much younger. I would rather have Marcus Camby than Rasheed Wallace, although Rasheed plays his heart out when he wants to. The Warriors need a big man desperately.
Monte Ellis is the future so they will be all right without BD, but if the W’s are going to deal The Beard they need to get a big man in return somehow.
June 25th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Sorry, Dakota. The Russians won the war in Europe. 75% of all German casualties were inflicted by the Russians.
June 25th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Wewease Bwian!
June 25th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Hate that deal. Mr. Bigshot hasn’t hit a big shot in years, and Wallace will pout and drive all the fans crazy. Gotta keep the Beard!!!

It’s just that America has the highest Murder rate in the World outside of South Africa and Zimbabwe,
Has more people in prison than ANY nation on earth
Has the highest Divorce rate on earth.
And has to import it’s scientists and engineers.
Infracture is crumbling.
A very violent place.

Keller signing now official. Our beat writer, Steve Corkran, just got it confirmed. Erik Meyer was waived to make room for Keller, which leaves 5 QBs on the roster: Russell, Tuiasosopo, Walter, Keller, Otis.

Who the heck is Keller?…hopefully this means Marc Wilson Jr will be let go,…Walter sucks.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Sorry Kirk, looks like you need a history lesson:
Without the lend-lease agreement (look it up) between the US and USSR, and the US lead bombing of Germany destroying its infrastructure and crippling its ability to wage war, and the subsequent invasion of France, most of Europe would be speaking German right now.
The USSR did kick some @zz, and faught valliantly to save Moscow and Stalingrad, but without out our help with equipment supplies they would only have been able to eject Germany from thier own boarders…maybe.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
I think we should go after S-Jimmy Williams. think about, G.Wilson with J.Williams side by side and M.Huff as back up. Nice Right. that is if J.Williams can play like the star that he is suposed too. if he does than we just might be able to trade M.Huff for a O.Tackle or a S.S. linebacker or even a decent WR

June 25th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Dakota and KoolKell, stop talking politics. This is a football blog, not some whiney political bitch fest. Take it to some high brow political blog. Nobody wants to hear your guys’ exchange of boring ideas and historical references in here. Talk Raiders.

maybe the rest of the world was way 2 smart 2 be drug into the biggest political blunder ever perpatrated on the free world.a gutless war started by a fortunate son so he could finish his daddys personal vendetta.all the shattered lives,divorces,fatherless kids,amputees warped minds,promised medical care never delivered and 4 what?A closed door energy policy so bush oil and cheany kbr.They might have sold thier intrest but dont you dare think 4 a minute when these piece of shiot slime balls get out of office they dont have jobs waiting.This has been going on since bush 1 was head of cia in the 1950s.WE may have come 2 europes rescue but that was 1945.They have showed there appreciation 4 63 years.anyone who sided with bush over this LIE can burn in middle-east oil as far as Im concerned 4 all eternity.I personally applaud the Netherlands 4 having enough sence 4 not having the so called bush patriotisim.GO DENMARK
June 25th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Well, I’m leaving now, goodbye.
Just wanted to get everyone to stop talking politics, because real men don’t talk politics. Real men just keep filling the buckets. Pay not attention to what the big man is doing. Earn your keep. And have faith in your country and in the good lord. Everything will work out. Avoid any intellectual activities. Do not ever read. Reading is for liberal elitists. Read only the bible, and the scrolling bar on the bottom of the screen on FoxNews.
Don’t bother responding.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Raider4life,…those two, Koolkell and his girlfriend Dakota,..they are lifeless losers who cant exit the blog that they live in,..they ran out of dumb stuff to post about the Raiders,..so now they make idiots of themselves posting about other stuff they know nothing of.

Dakota, WWII is politics. It’s not Raiders. Raider football only. Enough. Nobody wants to hear about what you read in your gay little books. Books are for homos. Real men only read the bible and the scroll bar on foxnews, nothing else. Understand, queer?

June 25th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Well, then, since you put CNN lower than Foxnews, you’re okay in my book, Camel Jockey. But at least you’re not doing the gay thing and quoting history and talking about your ideas, like some of these queers in here. They can take their world views to San Fran Sicko. Real Raider fans and real Americans don’t want to hear it. I’ve never read a book in my life. I don’t have to, because I’m going to heaven.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:23 pm

It’s too bad the country is against mormons. Mitt Romney is the only choice!!!!
He brought the olympic committee together and now they’re out of the red. He brought the most liberal state out of the red (mass). I call it the welfare state. Although I’m all Irish get Kennedy and his spending pricks out of washington! Guess what… our country is in red and i want someone with a track record to develop us again. Not a preacher or a soldier. No disrespect to soldier. I was one but I am not presidential or can handle cutting through the bs that Mitt Romney has successfully done in the Olympics and Mass. I’m sorry.. someone tell me what BO has done. What are his accomplishments?
Dakota… wow… we’re against the world here. Although, i don’t know if you like romney.

Barack has inspired the country in the way Ronald Reagan and JFK did, all with little Washington experience.
If you want Washington experience look at Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfield, they might be available.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Sapp says…
How would you describe your experience with the Raiders?
As dark as a black hole. Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn’t go on in sports. I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let’s just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
i’m looking for accomplishments not experience. i don’t know what being inspired means. I’m self motivated. He has had everything spoon fed to him. Watch cnn/fox and the next day BO gives a speech saying exactly what they said he needs to say. It’s hilarious. HC destroyed him in debates. No one was there to give him answers. THat’s why HC was so upset that she always answered questions first. I don’t want a puppet, i want a leader.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:01 pm

Jim, Obama has accomplished nothing, just like George W. Bush. And he’s going to win, just like him, because his image resonates. That’s all there is to it. Doesn’t matter what the issues are. It matters how good you look on television. It’s a popularity contest. Has been for years. That backed with money. Otherwise, you or I could run. Just get used to the fact that a brotha’s going to be in the white house next January. Try not to commit suicide.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
GB also won because of his loving brother stealing FLA during his first term.
I just think its funny all of this band wagon jumping. I’m disappointed the one man who can change things won’t be elected because of his religion. The south destroyed him because of it. I guess that’s why the south is still low paid. Sorry south raiders.. that was just bitterness.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Jim, Americans are stupid, stupid people. That’s why we had Bush. That’s why we had Clinton. That’s why we had Reagan. All of these men were more crooked than a barrel of snakes. Yet we voted for them. Why? Cause we liked them. We didn’t need a better reason. Americans are simple and dumb like that. And this time, Obama’s the man. You can pound your fist in the wall all you want to over the fact that nobody will pay attention to his record, and what have you. They don’t care. That’s boring to them. They want gratification, right now. That’s why their fat asses sit in long lines at Jack in the Box, because they want their milk shake, right now. Never mind that they’re pre diabetic and have high blood pressure. Doesn’t matter. They want a milk shake. And they want Obama. 8 years ago, they wanted that cool Bush guy from Texas. That’s your country. And if you’re in denial of that, then you’re just a delusional, high brow, intellectual version of the same brand of idiot they are. God bless America.

Frankly, I don’t know his Illinois State record. But obviously he was good enough to get to the US Senate.
But that’s beside the point now. The choice is Obama or McCain. Republican policies have run the country into the ditch. People want a Democrat, especially one from outside Washington and offers so much promise.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
pretty slick with the 1 hahaha
June 25th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
i don’t vote names, colors, or parties. Don’t worry what the rest of the country wants. Vote for the best candidate. If you don’t know anything about them then how do you know they’re the best for the position. COnsider the country as your personal business and you need to hire someone who can get goals accomplished. Know who you’re voting for.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Well if you find someone beside Obama/McCain running for president this year, let me know?
June 25th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
by the way, in america we can vote for anyone. not just the democrats or republican nominations. THere are many different parties we can vote. Don’t ever let anyone confine your voting choices. We fought too long and hard to have our voice heard. No one can ever tell me i have to choose between two people.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
There are about 10 others… have you ever voted before?

June 25th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
You can write in Mitt Romney if you want, I don’t get the point, but you can do it. He’s supporting McCain btw. If you think the country in going in the right direction, just say so.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
i’m sorry.. what exactly has obama said he will change. please give specifics and details.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
No, if you’re interested you can go to his website. So Why is John McCain good for America at this point in history?

The economy has not prospered under the Republican Trickle Down theory. It functioned much better when Democrat Bill Clinton was in charge.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
i’m not voting for jm. i told you that. I don’t want a soldier to run our economics. Trickle down was in the 80s. Clinton sold us to china. I’m not rep or dem so i’m a little more open about the over all situation of our country. again, i don’t vote parties. i just asked you why you are on the band wagon and you basically said you’ll vote dem regardless and it’s an anti vote against the way things are. Is that correct? If so, i just warn you that when you’re not on the road you want to be taking the next left turn (haha get it) doesn’t mean your going closer to the road you want.
Also, our economy does not run in 4 year increments. It over laps into different presidency. In other words, whats done in 90 may not have effect until 93 or so.
by the way, trickle down or voo doo economics (Mr. Stein’s word) is a supplied side. Most companies are anti-supply as they want cash flow.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
congrats to all in and around the raiders org.. Sam is a hidden gem. If he has recievers that have that passion and quick hands he is the man. He throws a good fast ball.If you look at any game he’s been in ,you will see a few mistakes on his part ,but alot on the recieving end.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
see you all. i’m going to get a nice juicy steak, mashed potatoes and a heineken and wake up 10lbs heavier!
June 25th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
The economy responds to policy. Responds well to Democratic economic and tax policy, and responds poorly to Republican policy according to anecdotal evidence.
Trickle down was STARTED in the 80’s under Reagan, and has been Republican economic policy ever since. Much to the detriment of working taxpayers. Put our Country up to it’s arse in debt to the Chinese, and atrophied our infrastructure.
Corporations get richer & richer, headquater themselves in overseas tax havens, then send troops overseas to protect their assets and play with our treasury as if it were their own piggybank.
The next president WILL BE Obama or McCain, period. Who would you prefer?

Kool Kell, John McCain is a tool for the oil and military industries. Frankly, those VC’s should have killed him. His life would be worth more in that instance than what it is today. He’s an empty suit. Dude had balls when he ran against Bush in the Rep primaries in ‘00. Bush played on good ole Southern racism to take him down. Had his callers tell people McCain fathere’d a little black baby. Sold hook line and sinker. Only to those dumb racist rednecks. McCain should have gone independent then and there. He didn’t. He decided to suck Republican co*k and he’s been on it since. The most he gets out of it is this very nomination. Obama’s going to slaughter him in November. Why? Obama’s cooler. And that’s all Americans care about at the end of the day. Don’t ever forget it.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Obama’s going to torture McCain this fall, Charlie style…
June 25th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Keller is a disciple of the Bill Callahan west coast offense. I am excited.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Kool aid drinkers…is there any player Al Davis has ever signed where you guys didn’t try to sell him on us as being a possible great Raiders reclamation project that will be part of a unit that will propel us to multiple Super Bowl victories? Don’t you just ever look at a guy and say, “why’d we sign this bum?”, like normal sports fans with actual brains? Just asking.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Raiders 4 life that comment about the vc killing McCain is pretty disgraceful for anybody to say. Have some respect for something man. Just because you are online doesn’t mean you have talk like an idiot.
why the hell has the past 50-60 comments been about politics?!!
June 25th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Dick V, when did we ever use the Bill Callahan west coast offense? When did any NFL team? If you’re referring to the 2002 offense, that was Gruden’s. It was Gruden’s passing offense. That’s all it was. I’m sorry you thought it was anything else.

Dick V, why should anyone respect John McCain? He’s an empty suit, at the control of the puppets who control the republican party, the energy, oil, and military industries. There is no reason to respect such a pathetic human being. Charlie killing him would have just done him a favor, considering what he turned out to be in his elder years, wouldn’t you think?

I hope you were. And about the Bill Callahan thing, too.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Callahan used it at Nebraska genuis. I know this is a Raider blog, but we can watch college football too. Keller was the Cornhusker QB who ran the west coast offense for Callahan. Try to keep up. I know everyhting is little too fast for you.
Based off your vc-mcain comment, I am guessing you are drunk so I won’t think any less of you.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Holy crap, you were serious.
Listen, and try and understand this:
Callahan did nothing as head coach of the Raiders other than yell and pretend to be a coach.
Everything we did in ‘02 was an expansion of Gruden’s passing offense. And who cares what Callahan did in Nebraska, and what connections Hellen Keller might have to it. Do we have any college teams on our schedule this year?
McCain is an empty suit, living a meaningless live. You know it and I know it. And he’s going to get slaughtered by Barack. You know that, too. You know your country. You know the presidential race is nothing more than a prom vote anymore. Obama’s just cooler. End of story. McCain sold his soul. He’s weak. That’s probably how the VC captured him to begin with,
June 25th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Dick
being drunk isnt that bad it numbs my reality……..
June 25th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
McCain supporters are drunk on hopeless optimism.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I wasn’t being sarcastic about the vc-mccain post. You really need to have more respect than that. Regardless of who you are voting for.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
McCain supporters are praying, praying that white people will come out in droves to vote against the black candidate. It’s their only prayer at this point. They’ve already tried to nail Obama on every single issue from national security to religion. Obama’s ahead by 15 points in latest poll. Fear of a black planet is all they have left.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Dick V, request denied. No respect for empty suits that shill for the Republican party. I actually have more respect for W. Bush than I do McCain, and Bush is retarded. So that tells you where McCain stands with me. No spine. No charisma. Just an awful candidate. You republicans are screwed with him, Dick V, in the worst way. You’d better just pray that racism is still alive in America, as much as it’s always been. It’s McCain’s only hope at this point.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Sam Keller played in the west coast offense for Bill Callahan the last couple of years at Nebraska. He will not matter come the regular season because he will be cut, but the fact is that he knows the west coast offense. He is a bill callahan disciple for better or worse. Based off of the fact that he has barely made a roster and did not get drafted, it is probabaly for worse.
Just come back tommorrow when you sober up. It will be easier to follow then.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Dick, nobody cares what Hellen Keller did at Nebraska. Kiffin likes to run the ball. And after Kiffin is gone, Lofton will be airing it out in Al Davis’s leather helmet vertical offense. Hellen Keller is useless. Call a spade a spade. I don’t expect a McCain supporter to have the ability to do that, but you have to try.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Dick, drunk or sober, I can handle you.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Why are you so sure that I am Republican? how do you know that I am not voting for Obama. Why do you keep insinuating that I am white or that you have to be white to like McCain?
Your drunken babble is what offends me not the fact that Obama will be the 43 or 44th president just depending on how you count it.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Dick V, what is your point? Why would you even bring up Callahan? You’re trying to make Hellen Keller look good, aren’t you? You’re trying to make this look as if Al Davis plucked another diamond out of the rough, aren’t you? Stop lying. I just called you on it. Don’t pretend now that you were bringing up Callahan as a negative. The optimism freaking oozed from your first post. Al Davis couldn’t pick a diamond shining right in front of his face, anymore, let alone out of the rough. The last diamond he picked out of the rough, as far as we know, was Jon Gruden.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
actually there are alot of football fans on this site that do keep up with highschool, college and the rest of the pro game.
The fact is that you didn’t know Callahan was at Nebraska for the past couple of years and you did not pick up on the connection between Keller and Callahan.
you will get it tommorrow when you sober up.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Dick V, I never said you were white. But thanks for telling me. It’s not that I couldn’t tell. Only a white person would stick up for McCain in the nostalgic, pouting way you did. Black people, or any minority, for that matter, don’t have the time for a worthless human being like McCain. Only clueless white people do. Thanks for revealing yourself as one of them.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:49 pm

June 25th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
My point is that you are idiot and everyone that will read your blogs posts will recognize that.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Dick V, Bill Callahan is irrelevant to any Raider related conversation. He was Gruden’s line coach. That’s all he ever was, even after Gruden left. I don’t care what his title was. Tressman and Gannon ran the team after Gruden left. Callahan walked around and yelled.
Nebraska is irrelevant. There is no reason to bring up Hellen Keller’s connection to Callahan and Nebraska unless you’re making some lame attempt to make it look as if Al Davis made a good call by bringing him in. That’s what you were doing, wasn’t it? Of course it was. You wanted to convince us Hellen Keller was going to be a Rich Gannon sitting on the bench, for when Fat Albert inevitably gets broken in half this year. And you were wrong. Don’t try and back peddle now.

I am convinced you are a 49er or a charger fan now. You don’t like jamarcus, Al, or Lane kiffen, and you love Gruden.

I was just kind of suprised that ibabuzz allows these kids to talk about McCain and Obama taking head shots in convertables and getting killed by “Charlie”. Wheres the damn moderator. I have seen some dumb ass remarks on here before, but this is a new low for this blog.

June 25th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
26th im not shure but it seems like 4 ever
June 25th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
that was the whole point of intial I am excited about Keller/ callahan disciple post. This is a Raiders blog. I just was here to talk about the Raiders. That kid was getting too lippy. I couldn’t stomach the way raider4life/ camel jockey was posting and purposely trying to get people riled up. That isn’t good for anyone. they probably should just take down this whole blog entry. Way too much politics on this one. And those comments just are way too dumb to be allowed on this site. I would hat to see this blog get delayed like PFT waiting for a moderator to read the posts but those kind of comments would not make it on the baord.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Whats the deal with Namdi? Is he going to get a long term deal? The fact that he is not signing the tender is also starting to scare me. What the hell is going on? I though Lane said he expected Namdi in soon?
June 25th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
McCain, Hill-Bill and Obama were walking down th road and came across a homeless man… John gave him a $20 bill and offered him a job.. hill-bill was so impressed the next homless person she came across; she gave him a $20 bill–from McCains pocket, pointed to the wellfare office then took $15 to pay for admin fees.. when Obama came across the next homeless person he said “beleive in hope and change, its coming” then walked away. The homeless guy was so bitter that he grabbed a bible and a gun.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Wow. Good to see Maddenloser or Debartoloraider or MoRon as he likes to be called has been in here posting as me again. Wow, Looks like this qualifies as another MR official meltdown. Just goes to prove I own that 49er loving racist gay homophobe. Hey MR how does my ass taste???
June 25th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Why would a presidential candidate choose to avoid placing his hand on his heart during the national anthem?
Is it a coincidence that this is the presidential candidate endorsed by Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam, the New Black Panther Party and other anti-white and anti-semitic hate groups?
Is it anything less than a double standard and complete bigotry when Obama stereotypes with the phrase “typical white person”, knowing that if Hillary Clinton, John McCain or any other non-African American recast the same phrase in the form of ‘typical black person’ they would themselves be cast a racist and their resignation demanded?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Oakglenn, good to see ya. Wasn’t me posting under your name. But you’re set on your ways and I’d hate to let a simple fact interfere with your conspiracy theory.
And, “gay homophobe”, huh? Think about that one, Oakglenn. We’ll just chalk it up as a classic Oakglenn moment.
But Oakglenn, before we get to your claim of pulling chicks, let us talk about Walker for a moment.
Remember him?
Remember when we signed him?
Remember how you had him pegged for another great reclamation project, something in the mold of Ted Hendricks or Jim Plunkett?
Now, he might be. We’re yet to find out.
But Oakglenn, you’ve already given up on him. You’re bashing the guy now. But interestingly enough, you seem to be leaving out one important co-signor to the Walker deal, one Al Davis.
Walker didn’t sign himself, Oakglenn. Couldn’t Al Davis see the underachieving party animal in him before inking him? Surely the owner who hasn’t lost a step and still understands the modern day game understood that there was a reason both GB and Denver wouldn’t give Walker a dime, right? Remember, Oakglenn, we didn’t win Walker in a bidding war. We took the guy out of a trash dumpster….and made him a higher paid receiver than Terrel Owens.
Now, to your pimping ways, Oakglenn. Oh yes, he who “pulls chicks”. How many today, Oak? Remember…even us Raider fans only count them if they weigh less than 200 lbs. No fatties. Maybe for marriage, family, sure. What the heck. All about what’s on the inside. But not for the guy who brags on blogs that he “pulls chicks” in his nice car. We expect a little more out of you.
Oakglenn, do these “chicks” know how many melt downs you’ve had on this blog?
Do they know that you spent Easter Sunday contacting administrators, AT THEIR HOMES, begging them to ban the IP’s of people in here that, well, you basically don’t like?
I mean Oakglenn, what “chick” wouldn’t melt for a guy with such studly ways.
Oh, one last thing, Oak. Jon Gruden’s here with me, and he has a message for Al Davis. Take it away, Chuckie:
“Al Davis, my good man, how’s my ass taste???”
June 25th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
“Obama must go”, according to recent polls, looks like the majority of voters think Obama must stay. Your man’s in trouble. I like McCain, but he’s got Bush III written all over him, and America doesn’t seem to be buying. Obama is not perfect and he’s certainly full of it on some issues, but it’s always about the lesser of two evils in the two party system, and it looks like Obama’s got the edge.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
1st when next camp starts we will have our next backup qb either dante or leftwich n Ihope LOREEZEEN CUT FROM NY
June 25th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Wow, Oakglenn, just reviewed today’s activities. No doubt it’s you posting as “Pulling chicks but not Oakglenn”. You know, it’s more like, “Not pulling chicks and I am Oakglenn”.
Again, Oak, you’re caught posting under other people’s names. Something you wined to the administrators about over their own phones on Easter Sunday. This is why they don’t take you seriously, Oak. That, and this thing is all about money, anyway. More posts, more hits, more revenue. Oakglenn, you’re just in a bad spot. Maybe it’s time you high tailed it and left the place.

June 25th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Obama can say whatever he wants, OMG. Did Bush’s “bush-isms” hurt him? No. Heck, they helped him. Americans related to his humility. Obama is a liberal, black version of the same thing. He’s charismatic. The only way to bring him down is with a better candidate (and McCain is far from it). With Obama’s ability to hold a room, and not to mention work a camera, any and all slander will be brushed off of his sleeve like lint.

220 was an excellent post…you’re so right on. Do you ever watch Bill Maher on HBO? He spends most of his show ragging on Bush & Chaney, especially Bush being such an idiot…McCain will be a 4 year re-run of Bush if he wins, but I doubt he will.

Get out of “la-la-land,” and focus on reality.
Maybe you can vote for Ralph Nader, he’ll give you a VW, a dollar off ona gallon of gas coupon and a green apple.

Don’t be another Oakglenn and fall victim to this every single person who criticizes Al Davis has to be MaddenRaider mentality. You can see how retarded he is. You’ve still got a chance.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Riverside, considering you’re a Chicano from Riverside I’m going to take a wild guess that you’re Catholic. Will you be seeing Maher’s film this summer? It’s pretty much a documentary film mocking all religion. Maher’s show comes back on HBO in late August. Too bad we know Carlin won’t be on the panel this season.

June 25th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Oakglenn, I don’t know how your ass tastes. Maybe Dakota does. But homie don’t play that, over here. I do know you are an ass, however, and imitating Shaq’s rhyme isn’t going to distract anyone from it.

That’s it! I’ve had enough! This is my blog, and I won’t take it anymore! I’m now calling the administrators at their homes. I’ll go and visit them if I have to. Yes, this is that serious. This blog is my life!!! Soon as I’m done with that, then it’s off to pull chicks.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Walker is a bum!!! How dare he act like this when Al Davis gave him this opportunity??? Al Davis made him one of the highest paid players in the league! He was supposed to live up to that, even though he hasn’t the talent or maturity to do so, and everyone knew it. It’s why Denver and GB wouldn’t give him a dime. And, perhaps Al should have seen that…but no way!! I will never blame Al! Never!!!! Al made the right choice. Now Walker has to magically turn into Jerry Rice! I’m coming for all of you trolls! MR, how’s my ass taste? I pull chicks!!1

Wow, from the looks of things, OG, you’re the one melting down. And, it’s cool you pull chicks, Oakglenn. I always knew you did, but. Try and keep cool about it, buddy. Because when you keep bragging about it, people start to wonder if you’re exaggerating.

Oakglenn, it’s bad enough you’re going on this rampage about pulling chicks and licking butts, but now you’re posting under my name, too? Isn’t this something you’ve railed against, Oakglenn? What a hypocrite. This is exactly why the mods here laugh at you, and ignore you stupid phone messaged. post 395 was not me, people. It was Oakglenn, Mr. Never posts under other names, himself.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down. I’m not melting down.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Another classic MR Meltdown!!! Eat my ass, MR! Eat my ass, Jerry. Eat my ass, Mike Shanarat. I pull chicks!!
June 25th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Wow, Oakglenn. Talk about melting down. post 399 is not me, people. It’s Mr. above and beyond posting under other peoples names, who frequently contacts the mods as their homes to snitch on people who be believes are doing it. How pathetic.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Oakglenn, again, I don’t eat ass. I don’t go near it. Not even on chicks. I stay away from that side of the building. But since you know a lot about it, Oakglenn, how’s Jon Gruden’s ass taste? How’s Mike Shannahan’s ass taste? how’s Kiffin’s ass taste? (future reference)
June 25th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
you’re more of a loser than me MR. How does my ass taste MR
June 25th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Goodnight, Oakglenn. Have fun with the ass play.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Oh, and your chicks, Oakglenn. Because I’m sure you have a harem of them with you by your desktop…even if they’re in other tabs.
See you tomorrow, Oakglenn.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Wow, over 400 posts on a thread about signing a fourth string quarterback! The internet will probably explode if the Raiders actually sign a worthwhile player. By the way, Al loves ketchup poured on his vanilla ice cream. Problem is, he is lactose intolerant and it backs up his system. Which explains the pained expression on his face sometimes.
June 26th, 2008 at 1:15 am
Oh, but Keller is a worthwhile player, Al’s drool cup. He was schooled under the great Bill Callahan, an Al Davis prodigy.
June 26th, 2008 at 2:48 am
I love the Keller signing, I believe that he’ll end up being the #3 Qb. He fits the system better then Andrew Walter. Always liked Walter & I think in the right system (Norv Turner Offense) he’ll do well.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:00 am
Dakota..don’t diss Denmark or the system.
When I lived in California, I paid about 40% in taxes (national and state income taxes) and got nothing but highways, war machines and lousy public secondary schools. Now I pay about 45% and get free medical care, free college for my kid, subsidized child care, which is cheap, my wife gets about 200 bucks a month in child support from the government, I have good public transport so I don’t need a car, AND I get 6 weeks of paid vacation.
I love the U.S. but the system does not compare.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:01 am

Daily Reminder: This place still sucks
But the new blogmasters seem to be able to write a paragraph or three more often then once every three days.
Question about the shaq how does my butt taste comment?
What does it mean? Did kobe and shack have mansex?
If shack had beat lowbeam up or defeated him in the finals I could understand the comment but it seems out of place unless they had mansex on the downlow.

Its easy to ply all the money stolen from the subjects into goodies for them if you do not have to spend money on defense. The world is not free bubble up and rainbow stew. Someone has to keep shipping lanes open and try to keep any more hitlers from arising.

Dakota…
LOL, you are funny dude, you need to get your facts straight… you are the kind that when you hear something is the best in the US, they must be the best in the world… how many wars have the US won by themselves???
oh yeah you might spend a few minutes on this one =)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties
Soviet Union 168,500,000 23,100,000 13.71%
United Kingdom 47,760,000 450,400 0.94%
United States 131,028,000 418,500 0.32%
So again thank you for joining the rest of the world for the last 2 minutes of the War, so very nice of you, but the Britts help us for 4 years and the Russians won the war. Period…
Dakota you said “From all of us in the US…you are welcome…” I’d like to reply… but most american never did squad!
I’m in awe for the few who did! all your young men who fought in the war, to all those women who was left behind… thank you. A bit late but that wasn’t you fault… It’s a pity that your sons and daughters have become what they have, when you who were young in the 40’s gave so much to the world… now a bunch of fatass americans reaps your legacy… and acts like they did it… sad!
give me some freedom fries and some kasschup!

June 26th, 2008 at 7:23 am
LMN,
Typical self-serving European drivel. You are too proud to admit we saved your azzes. American money and supplies allowed England and Russia to hold out, and then we came in and finished another one of your European wars.
You just can’t face facts can you…
Lend-lease:
It began in March 1941. A Total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to nearly $700 billion at 2007 prices) worth of supplies were shipped: $31.4 billion to Britain, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France and $1.6 billion to China.
The list below is the amount of war materiel shipped to the Soviet Union through the Lend-Lease program from its beginning until 30 September 1945:
Aircraft 14,795
Tanks 7,056
Jeeps 51,503
Trucks 375,883
Motorcycles 35,170
Tractors 8,071
Guns 8,218
Machine guns 131,633
Explosives 345,735 tons
Building equipment valued $10,910,000
Railroad freight cars 11,155
Locomotives 1,981
Cargo ships 90
Submarine hunters 105
Torpedo boats 197
Ship engines 7,784
Food supplies 4,478,000 tons
Machines and equipment $1,078,965,000
Non-ferrous metals 802,000 tons
Petroleum products 2,670,000 tons
Chemicals 842,000 tons
Cotton 106,893,000 tons
Leather 49,860 tons
Tires 3,786,000
Army boots 15,417,001 pairs
But go ahead and belittle the US you irrelevant European elitist. Whatever makes you and your little country feel important.
June 26th, 2008 at 7:31 am
I like elitist…they know things, were the mob clings to their pathetic fantasies…
and again so very nice of you to send some hardware, while the rest of the world helped to win the war with solders..
and again i hope you have a great taste in your mouth, the lend-lease program wasn’t about to end the war, it was about making a profit on war, and others misery… again thank you =)
June 26th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Making profit on war? Our government sure didn’t make a priofit, neither did our taxpayers:
Lend-lease items retained were sold to Britain at the knockdown price of about 10 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR giving an initial value of £1,075 million. Payment was to be stretched out over 50 years at 2% interest. The final payment of $83.3 million (£42.5 million) due on 31 December 2006 (repayment having been deferred on several occasions) was made on 29 December 2006, it being the last working day of the year. After this final payment Britain’s Economic Secretary, Ed Balls, formally thanked the US for its wartime support.

The reason this blog has gone to S*it is because of the same three guys who come in here everyday, like they have no one to talk to about sports, etc face to face, and it gives the blog room this sense of weirdness..just like in any other online forum where people can discuss issues, it is mostly white people with sterotypical views on people who get to elaborate on their small minded views through the anonymity of the ‘net..most of these guys are just cornballs, period…

Shane Olivea is a gamble I would take especially at the minimum. He can play period and now hates the bolts what better way to get back at then then go to the raiders and help them get over on you!
Keller is a talant and he will get an oppertunity to show his stuff in napa if he does well tui is gone and our backups are arizona state guys to go with our te. If he isn’t ready they put him on the practice team for the future and try to develope him into the future #2 when andrew goes off to sign a big money deal. but make no mistake those of you that are crying for dilfer or culpeper or a vet that’s not happening andrew won’t get traded he’s way too talented! When he came in he was more effective then the vet starters last year and had a better passer rating then JR for christ sakes! So lay off andrew and the trade take stateing he doesen’t fit kiffins system, you make yourselves sound unintellegent, if kiffin thought he was a bad fit he would’ve been gone! He works with the #2’s because he is the #2 and if JR goes down he is the guy so all you fan better warm up the walters chants if JR gets hurt! He will be more then solid if Kwy-me-a-river Harris is Sims lite!

We Europeans screw up big time and allow Germany’s Charles Manson to get out of control. Now we want a country on the other side of the world to come in and fix it with free money and their entire military or we are going to call you fat and lazy 60 years later when everyone who faught in the war is dead.

Russia lost 23 million solders? Or 23 million lives? If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t Germany actually on Russian soil? Compairing how many Russians died by the hands of German solders while they were in Russia and how many American solders died while being sent into Europe(most through Normandy Beach) is pathetic.

Second; row 116; A rookie NEVER led a team through 14 or 16 game season,playoffs and superbowl.david woodley/dan marino was as close as it got.I always personally like AW,rifle arm,needs time 2 develop.Here we go again,but even Stabler sat bench for 4 years.Defences are wayyyy 2 smart and intimidating 4 ayoung QB.If it wasnt 4 JMACs incredible talent and surounding talent,I would be concerned.I dont think AD ever let someone so young take control of THE NATION.Maybe some think AD is walking the plank by putting 1 so young at QB,I dont think so.ITS the #2 QB that I worry about,but like I said I think AW has all the 2 BE sucessfull

June 26th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Haynesworth said yesterday he want to be a Titan, is working out harder on his own and expects to be at training camp. I’m more worried about Nnamdi being in camp. Seems like they got something good goin on with the DB’s now that Lil Puss Stui is gone. Would hate to ruin it with a holdout.

4eva–I think you are probably right. DeAngelo Hall sure seems to be reborn as does Huff. Wilson went to Oak Grove HS and is happy to be home. Could be our best defensive backfield since Hayes/Haynes/Davis/McElroy.

I saw a comedian do a bit last night about how Europeans hate Americans and it reminded me of you. He was talking about how he was riding around with a cabby who was talking mad sh*t about America and Americans in general. Lazy, fat, blah blah blah. Then after saying how much America sucks he says “Are you hungry? We’ve got Burger King, McDonalds or TGIFridays. If you want a pick me up we can swing by a Starbucks. You lazy Americans like coffee right?”
June 26th, 2008 at 10:25 am

Hey, since you are having such a difficult time, in giving away jersey(s).
I have been on the look out for a deal on a Dave Casper throw back jersey, to add to my collection.
Size, 48-52 in black, short-sleeve works for me.
p.s. mesh style would be cool, if you can find it. Thanks.

Bo…
regarding the Marshall Plan…
well the discussion here was who liberated the europeans from the naz1es… not who whelped the rebuilding…
there can be no doubt that all people in europe are in debt to the russians for liberating, and we thank your grand fathers (not you) for supporting the russians…
The Marshall plan was something of the smartest ever to unfold after a war… Germany wouldn’t have become such a power in the 60’s if it hadn’t been for the Marshall plan… but remember… all factories, were bombed to oblivion so we had nothing to start from…. gdasnk is in poland btw…

RED BRYANT UPDATE:
6/19/08 – Red Bryant has made an impression simply because he seems to be so much more than the run-stuffing player the Seahawks thought they may have drafted. Granted, no pads were involved in OTAs, but Bryant regularly beat his man and made some plays that turned heads on more than one occasion. He has zero technique so the coaches think he can only get better.
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/profile.php?pyid=8859
WAY TO GO AL! Thank god we traded up to the top of round four to draft a special teams player instead of a run-stuffing DT. We are solid against the run, lol.

CamelJockey,
You ought to be more careful who you’re calling a moron. Making slurs isn’t enough without any factual reponse. Denmark is a puny, little insignificant country full of warped ideas. Belgium, too. The Soviet Union and the German infantry simply slaughtered each other on the Eastern front. Meanwhile we pulvarized the German industrial machine, won on the western front with help from our stalwart fiends, the British and the Australians, plus we were beat back the Japanese war machine. And what did Denmark do, Belgium do, Switzerland do, Luxemborg, et al? I’m sick to death of listening to a bunch of ingrates whine about America? I lived in Europe and could see quite clearly the poor little things haven’t gotten the hang of being independent. They still wear the yoke of the monarchists and still have their hands out and can’t think beyond the bureaucrat that is going to steal their money and make decisions for them…just the bunch of idiots Voltaire took them for…in need of a non-hereditary autocrat to answer all questions form them…don’t stop Dakota give the little w##nies what they deserve. The modern Bolsheviks is wide spread in this country…they are educated in our colleges, adored in our media…they dream for the hybrid Marxist state…they regurgitate Marx and Engels without even knowing it…and aspire to the lyrics of Imagine…CamelJockey gfys

LMN,
When the US joined the fight…Germany was in control of the Eurpopean continent. Did you miss that one…the Russians were shooting their own men in the back at Stalingrad for running away. I don’t recall the Russians fighting the Japanese, do you. They were busy letting winter do the work for them…fighting a battle of attrition wasting their men in a slow, horrific slaughter, thus boosting the numbers that you are pointing to. Another point, and in 2 and 1/2 years beat 2 entrenched and well supplied and dedicated armies with some help. The point is the Britsh, the Russians, and nevermind the French could only manage a grinding defensive fight, NEVER AN OFFENSIVE FIGHT. YFI.

I have read everything you have written and I still think you come off as elitist and judgemental.
Just my opinion based on everything that I have read you write, not what others have said.
Let me guess, Americans don’t have a mind of their own and are unable to formulate an opinion based on facts? You must be confused with the gross generalizations that you have already created within your mind, that is causing you to miss the big picture.
No point in back pedaling, I know what you said. Your view is so much more narrow than I ever realized.

Continuation of post 503
And I don’t think the situation has changed any…instead they send over the lawyers and the comparative law crowd to try and re-write the laws of this country through a bunch of slezy hacks in black robes.
We don’t need a bunch Euro-centric punks belly-aching about Americans…I heard enough that conceited, arrogant bs when I was there…and Volvo and brie cheesse isn’t enough to get all high-minded and proud about…a lot of American men died there to stop a political movement they did nothing about when they had the chance. YOU CAN”T REWRITE THAT HISTORY…
…stick to football
June 26th, 2008 at 11:03 am
I agree completely with RaiderDogg. LMN comes off as insufferably smug. Sure, America has its share of problems, but who doesn’t? It ain’t easy being the most powerful nation on earth. Try it sometime. Oh that’s right, you can’t, because you’re weak. And to downplay the role that America played in turning back the Nazis because they didn’t enter until late is like saying that Mariano Rivera didn’t contribute much to the Yankees World Series wins because he only pitched the ninth inning. Shut up and quit while you’re behind, LMN.
June 26th, 2008 at 11:04 am
man you guys are funny…
first…I don’t care about the japanese… you joined in 44, when the war was 4 years old…. thats late, and thats why I said you joined for the last 2 min…

From Raiders.com:
Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski is entering his ninth season with the Silver and Black. In eight years, the 6′2″, 250-pound native of Poland has scored a total of 808 points by way of field goals and extra points. The 808 points are currently good enough for third place in scoring in team history.
In 2008, Janikowski could become the all-time leading scorer in Raiders history. K Chris Bahr and Pro Football Hall of Fame QB/K George Blanda sit in front of Janikowski. Bahr scored 817 points during his Raider career which spanned from 1980-88. Blanda spent 1967-75 with the Silver and Black and scored 863 points.
In 2007, Janikowski passed Bahr’s total of made field goals. His 50-yard field goal in the first quarter of the October 28, 2007, contest versus the Titans in Tennessee gave him 163 in his pro career and set a team record for most all-time field goals in the regular season. His third field goal of that game moved him ahead of Bahr for most field goals as a Raider in the regular and post-season.
Janikowski needs just 10 points to move past Bahr into second place, and 56 to move past Blanda and become the all-time leading scorer in Raiders history. Janikowski has averaged 101 points per season since entering the NFL as the Raiders first round choice in the 2000 NFL Draft. He has scored more than 100 points in a season four times during his career.
The former Florida State standout’s 54-yard field goal during the November 25 contest against the Chiefs in Kansas City was his second from that distance in 2007 and tied for the second-longest of his pro career and second-longest in team history. He also converted on a 54-yarder on October 28 against the Titans. Janikowski’s 55-yard field goal in the November 12, 2006, contest against Denver tied his own Raider record set on November 2, 2003, versus the Lions in Detroit.
His five field goals on November 18, 2007, versus the Vikings in Minnesota tied a team record and marked the third time he has accomplished that feat. Janikowski also kicked four field goals on September 23, 2007 against Cleveland. Janikowski almost set an NFL record for longest field goal when he narrowly missed a 64-yard attempt that hit the right upright during the November 4 contest against Houston.

okay… what have change?

you’re right… but as I said in previous posts… I’m in awe of the men who served, who gave their lives and the women left behind… I think its sad that their legacy is ruined by their grandchildren…
but 400K against 23M losses… is the fact!
and for the record…I’m not saying i’m better than any of you or your fellow americans… i’m just statin the russians won WW2…
But what the americans did, they won the peace… the marshall plan as someone here mention was a stroke of genius… we don’t ow you anything for helping us in WW2 but we ow you all alot for the help after the war… by that I also mean the cold war…

June 26th, 2008 at 11:17 am
RM- Those stats are a bit misleading IMO. Look to see who is the all-time leader in return yardage. Chris “I’m a whiney b*tch who never returned anything for a touchdown” Carr. Only reason why fatboy will be the leading scoring in Raider history is simply time spent here. Almost every football related site has him rated no higher than #25 in the league this year.
PS Carr did have one INT for a TD
June 26th, 2008 at 11:18 am
LMN, I know Gdansk is in Poland, thats my point. The Marshall Plan helped Western Europe, meaning without the plan all of Europe would have been stagnant, not just the east.
I chose Gdansk as an example because it is a northern port town (as is Copenhagen).

That’s not a very ringing endorsement of Jon Gruden. Sorry MR
June 26th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I was watching something on the news about there being more cases of type 2 diabetes (the type that’s usually acquired through poor dieting) in the South than anywhere else in the country. They were talking about how it’s a burden on our health care system, and people there are doing little about it in regards to changing their lifestyle. But notice southerners are quick to lecture everyone else on accountability (don’t even get white southerners started on blacks). But evidently they can’t keep themselves out of ER’s from diabetes and overall obesity complications, which is costing all of us.

I just know as soon as I stopped taking in sugar I lost like 30 pounds in 3 months. I still eat natural sugar like fruits and stuff, but no more refined sugar. No more booze either because your body metabolizes alcohol into sugar.
I changed my life after my son was born. I wasn’t hugely overweight but I did have some extra pounds.

Like the Terminator said “I’m Back”
First point
LMN, We entered the war in 1941, not 1944. Decided to take the easiest one out first, so we took out Italy. Turned our attention to Herr Hitler and then the Japanese.
Because of our pacifist Neutrality Act, we had to trick the Japanese to attack us by cutting off their oil with an embargo. To proceed with their China invasion, they needed the oil. So they attacked us 12-07-1941. Germany foolishly declared war on us 2 days later.
We fought all over the globe to secure Western Civilization and any disrespect of our effort during WW2 is reprehensible. And yes the Japanese even captured American Territory occuping the Aleution Islands of Alaska.
Uncle Joe Stalin killed as many Russians as the Germans and without our help would have fallen to the Germans.

A rookie did carry his team through all 16 games to the Super Bowl. Ben Rothleisberger of the Steelers.

LMN,
Obviously, you don’t read anything, but just watch TV. Saying the Russians won WWII is about the most unintelligent thing I have ever heard. You’re the perfect “useful idiot” that Lenin talked about. The ignorant slaughter the Russians perpetrated on their people through bumbling military tactics doesn’t equate to “winning.” The lack of Air power and a Navy at that time doesn’t equate to “winning.” It just meant more dead people than anybody else. Russia simply put people on the front line and got them shot…they weren’t very successful at attacking the infrastructure, the supply lines of Germany. Stalingrad and the Battle of Britain are two the great epic lines in the sand, but were won for very different reasons. There is no way in the world the Russians every would have every been able to propel an offensive strategem without the destruction of the German armaments factories. Just to manage D-Day American engineers had to come up with new technology to be able to supply the military with the means to be able to pull it off. We destroyed the German war machine piece by piece strategically in every phase and then crushed them…the Russians were only able to make progress after the effects of the American design had damaged Germany. It’s true enough the Russians had more bodies to sacrfice and the Germans exhausted themselves on both armies, but to say the Russians “won” the war. That’s just patently stupid.
As far as fat people it must be your neighborhood that you’re talking about…

I liked Metallicas “Kill am all”,..their best record,…been downhill ever since,..unless you dig corporate metal.,…that movie they made, some kind of monster,..um,..not a great idea,..a therapist in their sessions?…ok James,..but youre not a dork though…
June 26th, 2008 at 12:24 pm

June 26th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
True story,..2001 season, or 2002,..unsure,..we opened with the chargers and won it at the very end,..low scoring game,…hetfield in the west side club,..i tried to talk to him,….he was being rude to everyone,..was standing up against a wall alone,…drinking coffee,…I spilled a sierra nevada on his boots by accident,…he was a jerk about it,…he was on his sober kick,..he should avoid sobriety,..we all should.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Gruden gets all the credit for blowing the big games when he coached the Raiders.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Ok Bo,..your band is probably more successful,..my bad.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I would take Gruden over Kiffin any day of the week.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
No more hand gun bans under the table from Obama. The people of Illinois rejoice!
June 26th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
What should we call our band?
How about “Lots of Death”?
No that sounds weak. Wait a minute I think I’ve got it. Instead of “Lots of Death” lets call ourselves MEGADETH! Drop the A in the death to look cool and we are all set!
Lamest band name ever!

Did I claim to have aband or post as a successful bandleader?
Sorry Dave, just got no respect for the music or most of the fans. But if it is YOUR band, I’ll respect your professional success.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Is this Raider chat or metal chat?
June 26th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Kind of off-topic but Sapp gave an interview in Tampa and said that his experience was, “…darker than the black hole…”. He said, “…no one know who or what is…” calling the shots. That the sideline phone rings a lot.
This is alarming and disappointing and unfortunate because it means Al Davis continues to be a “problem” in the organization. There is a reason why every effective organization has a clear chain of command and why the top dog should observe that chain of command. If that top guy micromanages to the bottom, the organization becomes ineffective and can fall apart.
This coming season has many potential positives and Kiffin is a good young coach. I sincerely hope Davis keeps his fingers off Kiffin and let him do his job. This is a business after all and I pay good money to see a good product. If Davis forces Kiffin to leave yet again after this season so he can bring in a “yes”-man, I am done, done, done, done. Without coaching continuity, we can have the best players in the universe and the team will behave like a collection of individuals rather than a team.
Getting rid of Gruden was foolish, hiring Turner and then Shell were giant mistakes. If Kiffin is forced out, then Davis is truly losing his ability to manage. He ought to retire and let someone else take over.
This is sad. A good leader always pays attention to who will take over because nothing is certain in life. A good leader ensures the organization continues to thrive and that organization does not exist for one person. It seems Davis does not know this.
Many posters here may flame me over this post but all that needs to be said. Even we all keep quiet, Davis will pass on one day and someone else will take over. What happens then?
No more throwing hard-earned cash into the “black hole”, at least for me. THis is our last year.

June 26th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Eyepatch, I’m an IL voter and would prefer if none of my neighbors had guns – legal or not.
The NRA propaganda about more guns equaling less crime is a ludicrous lie. A legal handgun in one’s home is MUCH more likely to shoot its owner/family than any criminal.
Charlton Heston, how’s Satan’s azz taste?
June 26th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
That’s right I did. Thanks eyepatch.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Sapp is just mad at Kiffin for playing him into retirement and Al has his rights if he decides to come back.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
What I want to know is who had the honor of prying that rifle out of Charleton Heston’s cold dead hands.

Since theres been way too much political discussion lately and not much Raiders news to talk about (unless we all want to endlessy analyze the Sam Keller signing)….how about something that is at least timely….the NBA draft.

Go to ProFootballtalk.com. Gives Dungy credit for the SB win. said the cake just need the icing when Gruden got there.

June 26th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I have a concealed weapons permit for my Springfield .45 XD subcompact…my wife has a concealed weapons permit for her Smith and Wesson .38. My .45 is loaded with 230 grain Federal Hydrashok rounds, my wife’s is loaded with 110 grain Federal Hydrashok rounds…so we can shoot you and not kill the person behind you…

Funny how someone in Sioux Falls South Dakota feels the need to carry concealed weapons. Everybody is terrified. But America is #1, right?

Thanks, I’d like to think so.
Hey did you see the Nets traded Richard Jefferson to the Bucks for Yi and some junk??? I was hoping that if we were going to get rid of Lamar, we might have gotten RJ back…oh well. I guess we will have to see if Lamar grow a pair in the offseason.

Dakota,..figures,…only men who cant take care of themselves need to carry a concealed gun…why that pig of a wife of yours carries one is surprising,..shes too fat and ugly to be a rape victim candidate. Go Raiders.

Bo: I agree that you are more likely to shoot its owner. That’s why you take it out of the house on weekends. Then you throw the dirt (criminals) into the CT or Mississippi river when your done.

June 26th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Vegas, did you read that police report?
June 26th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I do not find anything in that police report that calls for all the hate Walker received on this site in the hours after the attack. Yes, he showed poor judgment by flashing too much bling and getting out of his friend’s vehicle while being very intoxicated, but that is not a crime.
Repent Raider Nation!
June 26th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Yeah, it looks like the robbery part is legit.
What lured him to get into a car with strangers, and leave his date hangin?
June 26th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
now Ive heard everything
June 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Why was he fightin with his friend Ryan Lewis, probably trying to get him to call it a night.
June 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
he got IN the car not out of it

—”NFL Network’s Adam Schefter mentions New Orleans, Detroit, and Chicago as possible landing spots for LaMont Jordan. The Bears and Lions are obvious potential suitors, but the Saints may be most needy with Deuce McAllister’s health in serious doubt. Jordan isn’t a power back like Deuce, persay, but would add good competition for Pierre Thomas. He’s also a good fit in a pass-first offense like Sean Payton’s. Jun. 26 – 7:01 p.m. ET”—
June 26th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Just read it Kool, still curious how two unknown, kind of shifty looking guys were all of a sudden able to hang out with a football player. Drai’s can be a dicey place, and he already seemed like he had girls. Should have never left the Hard Rock, which provided him security and probably would have given him a room if he asked.

He’s had 2 seasons of over 100 catches. Better than Javon.

He was drafted in the 2nd round because of his relatively slow combine speed[1]: a 4.71 40 yard dash.

LMN, as I said in post 567…I didn’t mean for this to turn into a bash LMN session. You manned up and stuck to your guns (even if you are dead wrong, lol)…that is respectable.
I just want to clear one thing up; you made the fatazz Americans statement prior to my statement about Europe@ns being quivering piles of shiit. You first called Americans fatazzes in post 428 or so…my comment was made in comment 450 or so…so please stop using that as an excuse. Your true feelings came out…just live up to it.
I am done with it unless you come asking for more.
June 26th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
OK 1 more!!! Post 728 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 26th, 2008 at 7:04 pm

yeah thats true… post 428 was a good one =)
June 26th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
LMN: While you are correct that the Russians spent much more blood than the US in WWII, to those Americans who died, their blood was not “paltry”. And you are getting this from one who is deeply ashamed of Bush, and who agrees with you that many Americans are “fat asses”!
June 26th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Dang LMN, what happened? I think you kind of stepped in it if you know what I mean.
One thing to know, American men are zealous about our military history. We know the ins and outs of every war, battle and conflict. We know all of the principles, including the enemy, the dates, places, effects and most of all the armament. We have 24hour channels that are dedicated to the history of war and all of their weapons, both sides. I’m not sure if this is a global phenomenon, but it is something that most here share.
You’ve basically started questioning Catholicism to a bunch of guys from The Vatican!!
June 26th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Immodesto…
no they were not paltry, not at all, they were true heroes, and I respect them and the women left behind very much… its more their grandsons and daughters I have my doubts about =)

June 26th, 2008 at 7:53 pm

You are a great guy.
Thanks for spreading the truth.
Fat people are lazy. So are black people, white people from the South, Mexicans, and Jws.
Hitler was right. Rid the world of all these folks and everyone else will be better off.
Stop by the office and pick up your Nazi decoder ring tomorrow.

every home here has satelite tv… but I don’t go for tv shows for knowledge thats for sure =)
June 26th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
LMN,
You could not have known this, but my grandfather and one of his brothers were both in the US Navy and were at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. They both survived and served in the Pacific for nearly 4 years…another of his brothers served in the army and was killed in France sometime in 1944….hence my strong feelings on the subject.

—”According to the Las Vegas Police Department’s arrest report, Javon Walker suffered a broken jaw in addition to a fractured orbital bone and a concussion when he was beaten and robbed on June 16. If Walker is unable to consume solid foods, it’s possible he’ll lose some weight. Walker showed up to minicamps in less than ideal shape, so that might not be the worst thing. But at this point there’s no way of telling if he’ll be ready for training camp. Consider him out indefinitely and a flier pick at best in fantasy drafts until we hear Walker has resumed practicing.

Most wars are won by the side that has the best supply chain. In the case of WWII, the ability of the US to provide materials, manufacturing capability and a sizable army ultimaely sealed the fate of the Axis powers.
It is true that Hitler’s armies were first smashed by Russian armies, and the Russians bore the highest number of casualties of ALL nations of the war, but they could not have withstood the German army without US material and manufacturing capability. The T-34 and other equipment was manufactured literally at the front lines, but they needed critical war material to produce them… the is where the US came in to play. If D-Day would not have taken place, I believe that the Russian army would have been ultimately victorious without the US or Britain supplying combat troops in Europe. Of course the threat of D-Day kept German armies tied down in France that could have been redirected to the East, but overall by 1945 the Russians and the US had the best armies in the European theater. which was better? we will never know, fortunately for the world those two armies never faced each other in direct combat.
The United Kingdom was not a match for Germany for in either size of the army, manufacturing capability, or in the leadership of the military. Although Churchill was the best possible person to be in a leadership position for England, the combat generals were not up to par (example: Montgomery was no match for Rommel in the Deserts of N. Africa and could only find victory after Germany was forced to reroute supplies and replacements to the “Eastern Front” to deal with the Russians leaving “Monty” with a 20:1 tank advantage and he still almost didn’t win in Egypt, and we don’t even need to speak of other brilliant moves like “Operation Market Garden”).
The US entered the war and with the aid of SONAR, defeated the U-boats with advances in technology that allowed a build up of forces prior to D-Day. A huge army, with lots of easily repaired tanks and other vehicles, and an unstoppable supply chain is what made the final difference in the war in Europe.
In the Pacific, the US was simply lucky at first, the battle of Midway should have been won by the Japanese. Had that battle turned against the US, the Japanese would have had posession of Hawaii, and Austrailia would have been isolated and likely captured. The US would have needed time to rebuild its fleet and recapture Hawaii, and the war could have easily been extended through 1947 or even into 1950. As it turned out, once the Japanese fleets were turned back in 1942, the the United States and Austrialian forces overpowered the Japanese with superior technology, naval and ground forces… and an unstoppable supply chain.
In summary, you can have the biggest and best trained army, but if you cannot: feed them, provide arms and ammunition, and provide rapid access to medical facilities. You are not going to win a conventional war of any duration.
June 26th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
LMN: I am usually in agreement with you, but your percentages in post 428, while accurate, don’t tell the whole story. My dad joined up in 1942 and was with “Operation Torch” into N. Africa that year. He fought “up the boot” in Italy until the Invasion of S. France in 1944. Then he proceeded into Germany. While you can argue that alot of US strategy was, at the time, directed towards tying up Nazi divisions to lighten the load on the Russians, he still did what he did for the intended purposes, and I don’t think the contribution of like-minded Americans should be considered a “last Minute” effort, whatever the intentions of Washington. I just ask you: consider the efforts of the men who DID contribute from the US. And while the Marshall Plan was a selfish plan, in a way, (it was designed to create European markets to fuel the US prosperity of the 1950’s), it was a heck of an idea anyway, wasn’t it?
June 26th, 2008 at 8:10 pm

furthermore… at that time you had been talking smack about europeans for two days, so you invited me on the war path =)
June 26th, 2008 at 8:11 pm

the Masrshall plan was great, never said it wasn’t – I said the lease lend program was about profit, and stand by that
June 26th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
A broken Jaw?? If this is true they will just red shirt during camp right?
LMN, my point is that American’s are very “knowledgeable” about our military history because of our high INTEREST in it. I can read different things about our own Civil War dependent on where I am in the US as well.
Now I’m debating this!! You see, that’s how we are!
June 26th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
LMN,
You still don’t get it do you? Last two minutes of the game??? Wow. Let’s do the math: Sept 1, 1939, Germany invades Poland…March 11, 1941, the US begins the lend-lease program…Dec 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor, US enters war…war in Europe ends on May 8, 1945…Japan surrenders on August 14, 1945.
WWII lasted nearly 72 months…the US was involved for 53 months…
Whatever…go ahead and keep lying to yourself.

Back up your statement with some facts…I provided plenty of facts…the US government, otherwise known as American taxpayers, took huge losses…and if we had not provided the materials needed by England and Russia, again, you would be speaking German right now.

Monty might not be considered a big character of the war, but after the war he is the sole reason why DK wasn’t under sovjet rule… US and USSR had agreed upon that DK would become under their jurisdiction, But thank God, Monty convinced Churchill to argue the case for the americans that we should get under English jurisdiction…
That would be strategical important during the cold war because we control access to the Eastern See, and by that most of the sovjet northern fleet… after the cold war we learned DK would be USSR’s first nuclear target :/
But being under English Jurisdiction meant we became a part of the free world, got a part in the marshall plan and became a full blown member of NATO, was under Amercian protection during the cold war, and could develop a prosperous life as a member of the EU…
June 26th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Dakota…
yup, get your point, and i’ve replied it with “thank you for the hard ware”
June 26th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Dakota
the lend lease program, meant that we were enslaved to use amercan products for several years, forced to trade with american companies, no real free market. Which meant those companies knew they could turn up the price… we got out of those agreements about 1972… just in time for the down turn, the first oil crisis… had we been forced to trade with american companies during the oil crisis, we would have been bankrupt in the 80’s…
Not that it wasn’t hard enough…
you maybe didn’t get them back in direct way, but Europe sure payed for the lend lease program…
June 26th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
LMN: Was lend-lease about profit? YES. Little this country does is not bound up in profit. But at least opposing the Nazis is something for us sons of US fighters to be proud of. And I must say, of all the posters in this blog, your posts are among the few I consistently agree with. So, post on, my friend, post on!
June 26th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
“But at least opposing the Nazis is something for us sons of US fighters to be proud of.”
Damn right…
My grand father was nothing but a school teacher, but he hit freedom fighters, and stole German equipment..
of course thats nothing compared to others, in fact its pitiful. But i’m still proud of it…
He was On G3stapo’s list because prior to the war he had spoken publicly that what went on below the boarder, was Hell on earth… He lived 10 miles form the german boarder so he knew it was bad in 37…
He died when I was 6 or something, but I’ve read his journal… quite exciting, but of course pretty meaningless, when you look at he big picture =)

at the least the man can take a hint. I think I will go on a Danish blog and talk mad sh*t about how stupid they all are. You aren’t very smart are you LMN?
June 26th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
LMN: Yes, be proud of your grandfather! I am a little too. My grandfather was Danish, and no country or group has a monopoly on heroism during this dark time.
June 26th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
LMN,
You should be very proud of your Grandfather and his actions. Everyone that contributed should be proud…that is our point; quit minimizing the US’s contribution to WWII…you are spitting in our face, and frankly, many of us over here are tired of it.
At the time of the lend-lease you gladly took our supplies, materials, and money…which Europe would not have survived without, and now, 60 years later here you are minimizing it and crying about having to pay some of it back and calling it profiteering. Can’t you see why some of us have a problem with that? Don’t you see what an insult that is?
June 26th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Have you guys read the police report for the Walker robbery. That’s messed up. He was with his girl and got duped into getting in their car in front of the Bellagio. Idiot sat in the front seat and got choke held from behind while the other guy beat the crap out of him!! They had been following him for a couple of hours. Those mothers are going down hard!!!

Saint,
That report cleared some things up, like the fact that he was stalked and victimized, and that the champagne spraying had nothing to do with it, and that he never claimed to have been abducted from his room…but I would love to know what those guys said to him to induce him into their vehicle…
if he was drunk enough it could have been something as simple as them telling him they knew of a great party…or was he looking to score some drugs??? Probably not looking for a street beaver because he had a woman with him…unless she was a dog…
We may never know…

Dakota, its truly sad that you have nobody in the real world that will spend enough time with you to tell of your glorious war knowledge. By the way, the term, “Real world”, means any form of life not in a blog, as far as youre concerned anyway. Why dont you and your wife sit around and talk about how important you both are due to having gun permits. Dakota you get worse every day.

You are getting better poopy…but not quite there yet…keep trying.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Dakota, you see, this is my point. You ask me what do I want to talk about? Dakota, this isnt talking. You have lost what was once reality in cyberspace. You consider posting in a blog, and someone responding, as talking. Dakota, my advice to you is stop living your life on the internet.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Your brilliant responses Dakota only proves you agree with me, but will never admit it, not here, not in your real world.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:28 pm

June 26th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Stkaufman: are Americans really so knowledgeable about military history? I once asked a group of 12-14 year- olds some questions about WWII for a class at university. None knew who fought in the war, none could tell me who won. Maybe our generation is the last to take an interest, and now all are interested in pop culture…
June 26th, 2008 at 9:30 pm

Dakota -
I am very good friends with the producers that make the game Call of Duty. Not to give too much away about what I do for a living, I learned that from you, I used to live in LA and I worked for a little company called Activision. I was in on COD from day one and one of my best friends is still a lead producer of that franchise.
It is an intense game and the new one is incredible from what I’ve seen. You will be glad to know that the folks over at Activision pride themselves on historical accuracy and realism so your son won’t be misinformed for the most part.
Pretty violent game for a youngen, I imagine he is 14? I’ve got a ways to go with my boy yet, he is only 2. By the time he is 14 video games will be holograms in my living room and I will walk in and get shot by Master Chief.

Go Raiders!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 1:29 am
Here it comes. Some liberal is going to play the race card and accuse me of being a racist. Well, I’m not. I’m against anyone being ignorant and stupid, black or white. I’m against thugs, living the life. I hate them. And that’s the problem with blacks in this country, they look up to them instead of the good blacks, who are a credit to their race. Bill Cosby, Larry Elder, etc. But of course, these brainwashed black idiots will call these good black men “uncle toms”. That is sad. black people really get on my nerves. I wish they’d just shut up, and go back to Africa.

4evaRaaider…
man it was action packed! I had 8times the fronts the naz1es had… we know they couldn’t handle two, so i’m quite impressed how I managed it… but it was very stressful…
June 27th, 2008 at 7:46 am
LMFAO!
June 27th, 2008 at 7:51 am
As Dakota said;You have very thick skin my friend.It looked more like 20 fronts,but you never backed down from your original comment.That so-called red blooded american puke was just a posser anyway.99% of us are glad you grace this site.And how come these so called experts never mentioned the “RESISTENCE”?They were feeding the nazis so much disinformation at great peril to themselves and their families
June 27th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Great Good Morning Now dakota is here 2 good morning Dakota!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 7:55 am

June 27th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Well its good 2 see Dakotas on a roll allready.Now all we need is 4 the rest of the gang 2 show up
June 27th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Watch it Pilgram or I’ll have you pread eagle on a wagon wheel!
John Wayne had some great quotes!
Examples:
“There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves”
“Get off your butt and join the Marines!”
“I’m the stuff men are made of”
“If everything isn’t black and white, I say, “Why the hell not?””
“If you’ve got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.”
“Women have the right to work wherever they want, as long as they have the dinner ready when you get home”
“Screw the KC Chiefs!”
June 27th, 2008 at 8:05 am
spread-eagle…that sounds bad…
June 27th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Jerry, this halfway house isn’t registered yet?
Backup QB, who cares ? If JR goes down we go down regardless.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Jerry, it has been a week dude, get back to work…this isn’t Europe.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Well look here Mista;I disagree with you on that.WE had the #6 rushing attack last year.The QB “usally” dosent block 4 the RB.With another year under their belts Im sure we will even be better this year.Thats why I posted yesterday we need a vetern #2 QB,one who wont make mistakes if a passing situation arises which it surely will.This is why I question signing Hellens brother.I say sign Dilfer if we can, he proved in Baltimore he wont loose a game 4 you. strong running game.oppertunistic defence will get you far in this league
June 27th, 2008 at 8:38 am
so this it the 4th day of Dakotas attack on europeans…
June 27th, 2008 at 8:38 am
thats my john wayne
June 27th, 2008 at 8:41 am
4eva…
I agree. And I’ve said it here before, Dilfer is an administrator of the game… not a passer, and administrator, thats what Jammy needs around him, clever guys who can help him on the sideline and a guy who can distribute the ball, where it is a short pass of a handover on a run play…
June 27th, 2008 at 8:45 am
LMN,
I think it is just the 3rd day of my “attack” isn’t it? If it was day 4, it would be a new European record for resisting an attack…you guys usually fold in 3 days or less, lol.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:48 am
apropos our talks about Afghanistan… one of our Tanks has been under severe attacks, this morning, in the Helmand province…but assistance beat the attack back…
according to the first reports…
June 27th, 2008 at 8:48 am
LMN,im with you on that;good one Dakota!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 8:49 am
LMN on the Dilfer comment
June 27th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Dilfer would be much better that what we currently have in place.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Another case in point Mista;Earl Moral backed Johnny U 4 the Dolts[Baltimore]got them through season,playoffs,allthe way to super bowl.A strong running game good defence AND an experienced #2QB.We all know what Joe Willie Namath did 2 them but my point still stands
June 27th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Let’s sign Vinnie!
June 27th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Noooooooo!
June 27th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Lets sign Vince Evans!
June 27th, 2008 at 9:15 am

June 27th, 2008 at 9:28 am
4EVA,
Dilfer is a sack of manure If I ever see him in S&B I will puke. When we are a SB caliber team our backup QB will be important, until then its not even an issue.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Dilfer rhymes with pilfer! Nuff said
June 27th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Mista,if you have or support a football team #2QB is allways an issue.Like Isaid b4 I didnt really care 4 Dilfer early in his career,but when McNair went down in baltimore,he did all you could ask of him.Hes got the RING 2 prove it.On a side note wasnt McNair about the toughest sons of guns 2 ever play the game!!! Talk about a player who truely LOVED the game.His numbers dont warrent a hall of fame bust,but his toughness and love 4 the game do.imho

Meh, he was pretty good in college. I played against this guy in high school. I would have liked to see them bring back Daunte merely as a mentor to Russ. I’m still lauging inside about Tui being back.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Daunte is welcome back a whooping… hate that guy, biggest traitor of the NATION and btw he is a purple guy in my eyes… be default i gotta hate him… as I hated Moss when he arrived…
Daunte can’t play anymore, I rather have marinovich…
June 27th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Good morning to you 4eva…
As for Dilfer, we shant forget that Siragusa is the only reason he has a ring. Without that tub of lard, Dilfer would be just another Lane Kiffin (i.e. scrubby white QB from Fresno State).
June 27th, 2008 at 10:02 am
siragusa… hate that falla, I would love if the east coast mafia gave him some heavy boots!
June 27th, 2008 at 10:12 am
DEATHbyTATUM,Ihave 2 question a guys heart if he gets offerd #1million 4 1 year to PLAY football,especially in GreenBay.Imean what a way 2 end your career,those cheeseheads are well not close 2 THE NATION but still are about as close as any fans can be 2 their team,in way of support.Culpepper dosent want glory,he wants money,imo
June 27th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Milicia,
Why not have Daunte as a mentor to Russ? Same type of big arm, big bodied, mobile QB. How is he a traitor? If you think he is the biggest traitor, what would you say about people like McGlockton or Porter?
June 27th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Good point 4eva.

June 27th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Dilfer is a joke, period. He was in the right place at the right time and by right place, I mean one of the best Defenses ever to cover his butt. I laughed my head off when he played the Ravens last year and tried to “bury the hatchet” to make some publicity for himself and then gets demolished by them. His reaction to that touchdown when he freaks out is priceless.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:18 am
I think Andrews Mom shows why women and sports dont mix.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:20 am
DbT…
because he turned his back on us last year… McCown stayed and helped Jammy, Daunte ran away as a b1tchy teenager, when he wasn’t #1 anymore…
He turned down a job at GB for 1mill, because he wont be a mentor…
Daunte can take a hike… hate the guy, go play in canada…
June 27th, 2008 at 10:23 am
McClown high tailed it to Miami. Yeah, Daunte cried like a girl, but you have to expect that from guys in the NFL. They all want to play instead of riding the bench. I’d much rather have a backup who wanted to start rather than one who was content being a Tui.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:23 am
ohh I can 4eva said the same thing…

June 27th, 2008 at 10:26 am
We do NOT need a doucebag like Daunte to mess up Jammy’s head… we need quality guys, not traitors as that old fart… He better go home and put on one of his purple dresses…
June 27th, 2008 at 10:29 am
LMN, why the special distaste for the Vikings?
What you said about Culpepper’s character is pretty true. He has about as much heart as a…..as a….
EU infantry soldier.

@ the begining of the 02 03 season I heard porter talking to Rod Brooks on 1050 and tru 2 form he acted like a baby when asked about learning from the great TIM BROWN and jerry whats his name
shulda known then he was a punk…. I use to be a porter guy bought a jearsy and all that….

they wear purple… I cant respect anybody (males) in purple… it doesn’t compute with me… it makes me sick… that was the main reason I thought Lakers would lose, and that a soccer club called celtics had won the last 3 years..

Re: 879
I too would love to see Porter get laid out, by us or any other team. In fact, looking back on it, Shell shoulda just got Porter a suite at the Bellagio and a case of DOM instead of benching him…
Can you imagine LVMPD finding Porter in the gutter wearing nothing but his heavyweight belt (cuz it was too cheap to steal).
June 27th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Bo,
Best analogy I’ve ever heard in my life!
June 27th, 2008 at 10:39 am
there not called the celtics the soccer club just Celtic, cmon LMN ur better than tht. Have u guys checked out Keller on youtube. Seems like a bit of a dud.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:39 am
I wish I had a Lakers blanket…I have a Cubs blanket and a Raiders blanket, but no Lakers blanket…
Thanks for bumming me out LMN.
What did I ever do to you?
June 27th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Dude,
Keller wasn’t bad in college. Living in Tracy, I played him in high school for a preseason game, he was pretty good then.
Dakota,
What kind of blankey are you going to have when the Rays beat the Cubs in the playoffs?
June 27th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Dont talk mexican in front of the baby is my favorite John Wayne quote. I responded that way on purpose to see if anyone got it.

I meant the Marlins.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:43 am
HEY! Go CUBS!!!
Dakota, whats your take on Cuban as an owner? I HATE him as a Lakers fan, but he least he would care if his team lost (as you know, that would be a first for a Cubs owner).
June 27th, 2008 at 10:44 am
He is made for a west coast offense apparently and we run n gun. Davis loves the long ball and Keller cant throw it.

Of course the EU has no army of it own, I meant any infantry soldier from an EU country.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Cuban is one of the biggest idiots in sports but yes, at least he does care about his team. I’ll give him that.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:48 am
By EU, you folks mean Europe?
June 27th, 2008 at 10:48 am
EU is a political organization, there was talk about it in the 90’s that EU should have an united army, but The No from the Danes in 93 put an stop to it…
June 27th, 2008 at 10:49 am
I dont think Cuban is a idiot. More of an egotistical blowhard. Most idiots dont have a couple billion in the bank account by the time they are thirty.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:49 am
DbT, that is my single favorite trait of Mr. Davis, knowing his gut is wrenching worse than mine when we suck.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:50 am
there are plenty of countries in Europe who can’t, who wont or who isn’t a part of EU…
June 27th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Bo,
You’re right. We can only piss and moan so much but he has to front the cash for it. Al may have made some mistakes here and there but you can’t call the guy cheap. Every year he spends money to try and better this team.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:52 am
LMN, if the EU did build a united army how would we know?
June 27th, 2008 at 10:56 am
The EU has been pushing for a European Rapid Reaction Force since at least 1999. Now France is supporting it…
Seems a little redundant too me…most of Europe is used to cowering under NATO since the fall of the USSR.

Ha! That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard; The last line. Al Davis is under no pressure at all. Kiffin is. Al Davis will scapegoat the f’n fans before he blames himself. If the Raiders tank this season, Al Davis will say that Kiffin wanted all of these guys. It’s that simple.

June 27th, 2008 at 11:48 am
It’s been well determined that Al Davis does not understand the modern day game. So that’s correct, to the guy who posted under my name, Al Davis will get no credit. He gets credit for hiring the right people, and that’s it.

Yahoo sports, today:
“Three sources who have had conversations with the Oakland Raiders general managing partner within the past two months said Davis has expressed regret over the team’s offseason spending spree on players and worries about his ability to end the longest-running slump in team history.”
What? Al Davis doesn’t believe in our players? That’s it!! Al Davis is not a real fan, man!!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 11:54 am
More from yahoo sports:
“So much so that he would relinquish control of essentially making all personnel decisions and hire someone else to call some of the shots?
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported in a blog on the network’s website on June 6 that former Green Bay Packers vice president of player finance Andrew Brandt was on the verge of being hired by the Raiders in a similar role. However, two league sources told Yahoo! Sports that Brandt declined the offer and countered by offering to serve as a consultant. One of the sources found Oakland’s attempt to land Brandt particularly interesting.”
June 27th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Not only can Al not hire a coach, he can’t hire a GM, either. My god, has he dug himself a hole.

—”Mike Williams’ conditioning level is reportedly still an issue. Williams hasn’t been bad in non-contact OTA work, but he’s still hovering in the 240-250 pound range and doesn’t look like a great bet to make the Titans unless they keep seven receivers. The four-week layoff before training camp could work against Williams due to his apparent lack of self discipline. Jun. 27 – 2:54 p.m. ET”—

Walker, Probably won’t be ready at the start of camp.
Kelly, probably won’t be ready at the start of camp.
Two players, Al invested heavily in will be behind schedule from the jump.

June 27th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
What kind of BS news flash is this? An owner regrets dropping big guaranteed money after his new guy gets his face rearranged in Vegas. DUH! Should the owner NOT feel any regret?
Face it nation. Al takes risks every year to put together a winner. Some pay off, others don’t. If you want an owner who will never roll the dice, get a Cardinals jersey. You’ll be asleep by halftime each week.
June 27th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
My favorite was the time I quoted Rich Gannon ad nauseum when he criticized the Raiders, but then a couple weeks later turned around and claimed he was nothing but a Raider shill when he praised them. God I hope the Raiders don’t run the ball twenty times a game this year.

I’ve been to France, Spain, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, and Germany. Some fine things there and some not so fine from my point of view. Nothing Europe offers could entice me away from my country.
Most of the people who settled this country were from Europe and most of those were the dirt poor. Is that a touch of envy that the dregs and rejects from most European countries have built the most powerful nation the world has ever seen?

You guys want effective change? Do it to the CEOs and politicians where it hurts; in the wallet! Stop buying so much gas. Quit buying consumer goods. Quit charging things on plastic. In other words, don’t spend your green! The less money you spend, the less they make. The less you spend, the less the government takes.

You will see several states that mirror the fed in that the executive is of the minority party and the legislature is controlled by the majority.
Would you want Dems running everything? Would you want Reps running everything? If you’re like most voters, you want the party you support in sole power.
I personally don’t. It gives too much power to one ideology.

The only things I don’t like about Europeans is the way they stand in line (think: Cincinnati Who concert) and their, shall we say, aversion to showers.

15,000 TICKETS TO LONDON GAME GONE IN 30 MINUTES
Posted by Michael David Smith on June 27, 2008, 3:59 p.m.
The NFL said today that the 15,000 tickets it made available for the October 26 game in London sold out in half an hour.
“Once again this demonstrates the huge interest in the sport in the UK,” said Alistair Kirkwood, managing director of the NFL’s United Kingdom office. “Fans here are excited to be able to see two teams of this caliber playing in the UK, and with a full Wembley Stadium, we expect the atmosphere to be electric when the Saints and Chargers take the field.”
The league previously put 40,000 tickets on sale for the game, and those sold out in 90 minutes.
The announced attendance of last year’s Giants-Dolphins game at Wembley Stadium was 81,176. The NFL says it will play at least one game a year in the UK for at least the next three years.

This is why Iran can’t have nukes…
Nuclear proliferation is a term now used to describe the spread of nuclear weapons, fissile material, and weapons-applicable nuclear technology and information, to nations which are not recognized as “nuclear weapon States” by the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also known as the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty or NPT. Proliferation has been opposed by many nations with and without nuclear weapons, the governments of which fear that more countries with nuclear weapons may increase the possibility of nuclear warfare (up to and including the so-called “countervalue” targeting of civilians with nuclear weapons), de-stabilize international or regional relations, or infringe upon the national sovereignty of states.

June 27th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Lebat Blue=Worst Beer ever. Then again Canadian beer is rancid to begin with. The only good Canuck beer I like is Moosehead.
June 27th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Heineken is piss. Gross.

A nice pint of, “Black & Tan” is, IMO a very refreshing beer.
But, what do I know. Damn near ANY beer that is ice COLD, is refreshing to me.(8

whats you favorite tequila??
June 27th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
All Tequila is bad news. I can’t stand the stuff after I had a wild night with it a few years ago.
Jim Beam all the way.
June 27th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Well, when there is no RAIDER football news, to talk about.)8. Then (8’s and beer. Is better than some of the other drivel, that has been spouted adnauseam here lately.

June 27th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Grolsch is one of my favorites.
I also like St. Paulie’s Beer, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, Bass, and Shiner Bock(Brewed only in TX)
June 27th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Broken jaw, cracked orbital bone, concussion…
I don’t care what Kiffin says, Walker will be lucky to be ready by the first game of the season. Game 2 or 3 most likely.
What a waste.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
gordon biersch Dunkelweizen now thats a great beer brewed in the 408 San Jose California
June 27th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Good Beer…
yeah many of my friends like Grolsch too, I enjoy one once in a while but, but I find it a bit too bitter..
June 27th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Why bash Walker hell all he did was get robbed n beat up while in Vegas.You think thats just wrong hell ratface got rid of a thug but he kept Marshall yeah I think by week one u will love Walker.PS TALK FOOTBALL U SOUND LIKE BUNCH OF HATERS NOT TRUE FANS
June 27th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
2-3 months for a broken jaw, don’t know about an eye socket. I think he’ll be ready for game 1 but he won’t be in “football” shape when he gets there.
Mmmmmmmm, Negra Modelo, Patron, hash, Gordon Biersch. Man, I’m thirsty!
June 27th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
At the moment, I’am enjoying some refreshing ice COLD Coors “banquet” beer.
What, can I say. My everyday beer of choice for 30+ years.
Yeah, I know. “brewed with pure rocky mountain Elk pizz water”. yuk yuk.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
my all time favorite beer is……… FREE BEER
June 27th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Eyesocket damage and broken jaw doesn’t mean he cant sit on a stationary bike!
June 27th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
909,
One of the best beers I’ve ever had was just a straight up Coors that was givin at the end of the tour there in Golden, Co. I could’nt believe it! I live in Portland, Or which has more microbrews per capita than anywhere in the world. I’ve had me some beers, if you know what I mean. But man, that Coors there at the brewery was so refreshing I was taking the drink tickets from my relatives!!
June 27th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Not that, I’ve ever had my jaw or orbital socket broken. (although, have had others try to, on me at times in my younger days.)
That should not keep Walker from working out, running, lifting etc. To get in shape.
We will find out when camp opens, whether or not he can participate and get into “football” shape, and learn the offense.
I’am cutting him some slack for now. Most, if not all of us has done something ill advised or just plain stupid before.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
909…
I think running is out of the question.. and at first lifting too… but sit on a bike work of some pounds should be plausible in a few days
June 27th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
1st pre season game throw it across the middle and let him get hit to test him out if he gets up good. if he gets hurt well then we can make plans with out him and somebody will have to step up!!
June 27th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Saintkaufman…
I, have to fess up here a little. My family lived in Evergreen, Co. for a few years when I was a little whipper before, moving out here to SO-CAL.
Anyway, I remember that my dad let me take a sip or two of o.g. Coors after the tour. So I guess that makes it 40+ years, that I’ve been drinking that stuff.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
I doubt he’ll be ready for preseason. He can run and lift and ride all year if he wants but playing in a game is a totally different workout and he’ll be sucking wind hard by the second half if he’s not able to go until week 1.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
You gotta love dad 909!!
I lived in Lakewood for a coupla years in the early 90’s, just by Red Rocks. Got a great Fat Tire at the Busch brewery in Fort Collins as well. Now that was good beer! My mom still lives in Englewood, Co and has 7 fold the disdain for the Broncos as anyone in here!! I love that old lady!

June 27th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
steelers OUCH but any 1 who hates the donkeys is ok in my books.. My moms a whiner fan but she still roots 4 the raiders! so I know how ya feel..

I lived there, 62-66. A old family friend from there is over in Montrose, over on the “western slope”.
My ol’lady’s son & daughter (from her 1st. marriage.) are on there way out here for a week,as I type.They live in Breck & the Co Springs areas.
The daughter is a Raider fan, The son could care less, into snowboarding & dirt bikes.
Colorado is bitchin, ‘cept for the donkeys, I hope to move back there someday.

If you can find a place, that serves o.g. Coors on draught. Try a pitcher. Mmmm Mmmm good stuff.

June 27th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Why does everybody drink watered down crap? Why drink 12 beers of crap to get a buzz when you can drink 3 good beers to give you a better feeling and if you plan on having a hangover, it will be a better hangover too. I still can’t understand why Budweiser is the King of Beers. Sure…If you’re poor and you want to be a cheap @$$, buy that crap. I personally like Newcastle, Guiness, Warsteiner to name a few. If I want something less harsh, I go with Rolling Rock.
Now…If I show up to a place and all there is, is cheap beer then yes…Coors is one of the better beers. I can stand Bud light as well but outside of that. Everyone drinks Budweiser and claims its great because they can’t afford anything else because it sure as hell comes cheap in the stores, I feel like I’m drinking bad water and you all know it so don’t deny it. Its like putting 87 gas in your car when you can put 91 gas instead because its BETTER for your car and it gives you better gas mileage. Sorry for the rant.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
it looks like there will be a new pay scale in 2010,no more ridiculous 30 million guaranteed 4 someone who has never played a down.Good the way it was going it might have bankrupt the league.It will be interesting 2 see what they come up with
June 27th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Fosters 4 me thankz.I like st.pauli girl too.even tho coors light out of a keg is really fun beer
June 27th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Interesting how the change comes after The Raiders have these high picks. Yeah, I’m paranoid!!
Hey Huff. All these damn microbrews out here have really turned me away from ales. And dude the hangovers after a night of draught micro’s is brewtal! Ha. I’m all lagers for now, mostly mexican. Bud is for beer bongs.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
hah.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Man, looking at the roster for the umpteenth time, we need to sack up and go get a bona fide WR in next years draft. Hoping to land the next Colston year after year is not a good strategy.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:23 pm

and goodnite to you all…

June 27th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
LMN…I’ve read with interest Your comments on America and Americans.
I think Your brush strokes are Much To Broad.
There are many Fit, agile, hungry, motivated, intelligent, members of OUR GREAT NATION.
Statisticly…are we the fatest?…I guess…never checked. If You have, I would beg the question if it was a cross section of Our Entire Populace.
If so I’ve got a reasonable explaination as to how this might be. (Being Fat)
It’s called an Aging populace. “The Baby Boomers”
I could imagine that some in America may be “living off” the reputation of the sacrifice and commitment of “Our GrandParents”
I’d like to offer a personal insight. My Grand Dad fought in the Pacific Theater in WWII.
He was one of MY ROLE MODELS. His example and spirit is a Measuring Rod for Me as a Man and Human Being.
By the way My Dad was a Reserve Marine and a Police Officer.
I’m not alone in this experience or sentiment in The USA.
Americans are linked to their History through their ancestors.
As a whole WE aspire to “do them proud”
One last egotistical note. I’m damn near 48. I walk 6 to 10 miles a Day, Bench Press Over 350 lbs (for reps)…and I did it all while eating cheese burgers, hotdogs, apple pie, and washing it down with beer.

post 1158 408RAIDER I miss all the fun stuff.But of course I went back and read all the comments,I didnt get 2 comment but its fun,real fun just listening 2 all my brothers.BTW how are those silver shields with the “interesting” back ground colors looking???
June 27th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
GO Len…. I love this place
June 27th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Braylon Edwards, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Tory Holt, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, Plaxico Burress, Santonio Holmes, etc, etc are all 1st round draft choices.
You might strike it rich with a T.O. or Colston or Steve Smith in the 2nd or later rounds but we should target a top 3 talent next year at the position. I think we missed out this year.
June 27th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Saintkaufman,maybe.But when you consider we got Dmac 1st round,traded our 3rd round pick this year 4 Mario Henderson last year[6-7,300]2nd year out of florida st,I believe we got DeAnglo Hall for our 2nd pick this year,got Tyvon Branch 4th round,got Trevor Scott 6th round,got Armon Shields,Chas Shillens in the 7th round.I dont think we missed out,time will tell.But I agree with you we may need 2 think about a “elite” reciever in 1st 3 rounds.I hope not because Im really high on JOHNNIE LEE HIGGANS.IMO DL or LT comes 1st
June 27th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
There were several very good WR’s this year and instead we got another CB for our 2nd. I’m fine with the McFadden pick, would have rather had a DLineman but I’m excited to see Darren do his thing. Guess who the last WR was we took in the 1st round? That’s right, Tim Brown. 20 years ago!! Can you say HOF? For 7mil more in guaranteed money we could have made a run a Jared Allen!! Al refuses to draft DL and WR’s in the first round.
June 27th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
4eva
shields look great shes been drawin 4 me since she was 4 ……
and now the beer run
June 27th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
In that same 20 year period we have taken 10 DB’s in the first 2 rounds! I don’t know how many we acquired for trades where we gave up a first or second on top of that.
June 27th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
well its 11:00 here I go play 4 an hour or so then off 2 dreamland.Next time I log on it will be around 4am your time PEACE NATION.Untill THE MORNING !!! P.S. with no new news I can see us reaching 1500 comments!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
AL loves his DB’s thats 4 sho… Im still hopeing JLH will step up or jovans face ( & knee) holds up and he scores many TD’s 4 the NATION how sweet would that be ?? ex donkey scorin TD’s 4 the silver & black….. I hope
June 27th, 2008 at 8:00 pm

I hate logging off I just know Im going 2 miss something good
June 27th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
4eva, you could log off for a month and not miss much!! Although the military history banter was pretty good I must say!
June 27th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Saint…in keeping with the military theme…The Raiders D needs to Blitzkreig and the O needs to Grind it out on the ground.
However…I’d love to see the Raiders O capable of a full aerial assault.
Bombs…Quick Strikes…
: )
June 27th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Like 408 said,if I cant wake up and turn this site on I feel like Ill miss something.Oh what the hell Ill have another Fosters,you know the 25.9oz can.BTW Napolean Kaufman was and is my favorite RB in RAIDERS history,dude could flat out fly
June 27th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
AFC EAST: New England
AFC SOUTH: Jacksonville Jaguars
AFC NORTH: Pittsburgh Steelers
AFC WEST: San Diego
Wild Cards : Indianapolis (a lock), Ten, Oak, or Bal
Byes: New England, San Diego
Wild Card Round: Indy d. Jax
Oak d. Pittsburgh (Since we’re in the Raider Blog I can be biased)
Divisional round: Indy d. San Diego
Oak d. New England
Now would’nt that be something to see…
June 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
4eva…Kaufman was a Home Run Threat…I loved that.
One could honestly anticipate His Taking it “To the House” on any given carry.
D Mc Fadden will provide the same kind of excitement.
I can’t hardly wait to see it.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Even though the O struggled in games last year, they still scored and moved the ball well in others so I’m not even worried about them scoring points..it’s all on the D. T
June 27th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Marcus 32 the tratior was mine till he put on the chefs hat freakin AL did my guy like that.. and seeing THE GREAT TIM BROWN in the yuks uni was even worse…..

June 27th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
200 + ruishing yards… the Negra Modelo”s are working
June 27th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
yeah that whole marcus really hit me hard.Kaufman wasnt even heard of then,everyone loved marcus.That amazing run against the hogs on superbowl is what legends are made of.I guess marcus and AD were a million apart and both were soooooo stubborn,both wouldnt budge.Man marcus killed me when he went 2 the squaws,I hate the squaws more than any team in any sport.I hate the color red.UFCK THE SQUAWS,UFCK THE DONKEYS UFCK THE CHOCKERS.GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Hey 408…C Long would have been cool too.
I agree that DMac is an improved version of Nap.
Size, Hands, Instinct…etc
June 27th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Len
WTF are we gonna do till camp starts…
4eva thats what Im talkin bout
June 27th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
RaiderLen Trevor Scott taken in 6th round has a faster 40 time than C.long a higher vertical leap,bench presses more.IT woulod have been interesting if Long was still there at #4.I still think AD would have taken DMAC,and thats who I wanted,I bloged many times on that one but I think THE NATION might have turned on AD.Every one was thinking Howies kid,but if you think about it he would never score a TD.And I think this Scott will be better than Long.Time will tell
June 27th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
408…drink beer…bs…drink some more beer…speculate…drink some more beer…tell MR He’s a Trolling 9er fan…you know…the usuall.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
I think me and Dokota were the only ones who wanted DMAC.MR said if AD took DMAC he would NEVER comment here again,but he wears 49er jammies
June 27th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
We all do sure think alike dont we brothers!!!!!!!!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
4eva…That sounds good to Me. Whatever it takes to get the Raiders back on track.
As a side note, I’d LOVE for Scott to be better than C Long. It will make the Raiders look REALLY smart.
By the way MY prefference is DMac as well..though I would certainly would have understood a C Long selection had He been available.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
4eva…My recollection is that Tommy Trojan pimped Dmac awfully hard as well.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pm

RaiderLen…
of course there are fit americans…you are 300M so there are enough to take of… but you are by no comparison the fattest! you got 24M diabetics due to obesity…24M!!! thats 8%!!! and you have 20% obesity, thats 60M fatties, every two roughly speaking is diabetics… But DK is the main producer of insulin so eat away guys and girls =)
June 28th, 2008 at 4:02 am
RaiderLen…
Whoops!
those numbers were way too small, 1/3 or 33% of the US population are considered obese thats 100M thats just freaky!
“A key factor in many chronic illnesses is obesity and smoking. About 33 percent of Americans are obese, compared with 17 percent in 10 European countries reviewed. More than half of Americans are former or current smokers, compared with about 43 percent in the European sample.”
you had 8% diabetics, here in DK we got 4% or 220K, thats too many, for several years we were at 2%…
Most text I got on the subject are in Danish, but I found this in English..
newsmax.com/insidecover/U.S._obese/2007/10/02/37381.html
June 28th, 2008 at 4:12 am
RaiderLen..
I think its great you Grand father was Helping out during WW2… But even that he was your role model, most of those vets haven’t been role models for your fathers generation, and your generation is lost because of it…(by that I mean they haven’t been asked to be role models)
I can say the same thing about Danish kids below the age of 18… they don’t know sh1t, and I find this very worrying, we call it “americanization”…
If you had good role models you wouldn’t have the highest rate of inmates per capita, you wouldn’t have so much violence in your streets and so on… but of course that doesn’t mean most americans didn’t grow up in a great environment… But it sure means a big percentage of them didn’t…

2 points;First,MR I didnt have a dad,Im Omnipotent Second,Good Morning La Milicia Negra.The reason we americans have the highest rate of inmate population is we didnt learn the lessons of Prohibition.Over 56% of of that population is because of non-violent offences or in other words,our RETARDED WAR ON DRUGS,started by a retarded president who I posted earlier,was an actor who played second fiddle 2 a monkey.We spend Billions,kill millions of forigners on their own soil.Because of the misguided right-wing leaning republican moralistic police the whole world is ufcked up.I posted earlier that every time a republican gets elected with their holyier than thou attitude we go straight 2 hell.When oh when will my country wake up???All the good men that died because of prohibition are now dieing from the war on drugs.The gov.needs 2 get the hell out of peoples personal lives,you know,kinda like the GOOD gov of the Netherlands.Who cares if someone wants 2 smoke a joint or shoot smack?If they are in the privacy of their own home let them.I thought people fled England was to get away from the Kings MEN.A mans house is his castle kind of thing.Ill stop here,but I could go on 4 days

—”A man charged with beating and kidnapping Javon Walker is being held Friday on bail $86,000. Arfat Fadel’s lawyer said he probably couldn’t make the bail. Fadel, who was apparently using his girlfriend’s car at the time of the robbery, is not cooperating to reveal who the other person with him that night was.

**Allow Terrapin to disturb all the BS on this board and get to some real talk, if only for a few seconds.**
Jason Jones makes an observation in his blog today that we all have said one way or another time and time again. That is – This Defense is where all the proven talent lies. Our most talented players are on the defense (in no particular order: NA, DH, GW, DB, TK, KM, TH). At face value, there’s absolutely NO reason why this defense should suck as they have in the past. But as I try to really rank them (you should try to objectively rank too so you’ll get the idea of what I’m saying – it forces you to really objectively think about the players) I find that most of these talents are incomplete. But which team’s talents are?
1. NNAMDI – without a question is the most complete for his position. The best cover corner in the game and not a bad tackler either.
2. BURGESS – I’ll give him the nod here (thinking about BHP’s memos as I typed that). BHP and few others have came to Burgess’ defense regarding his run support. I have my doubts but I’ll give way for now. All else being equal, he’s an exceptional pass rush.
3. HALL – Very young Probowler with a lot of talent. He’ll be targeted if Nnamdi’s ready for the season. He has lapses during the game – whether its gambling or what have you but my opinion before was that he’s overrated and nothing has changed to change that opinion. But that’s not to say the boy isn’t damn good – just not the best as he would proclaim.
4. HOWARD – Above Kirk? Yeah, I’ll give it to him. He’s a much better athlete and both are great in coverage. But he like Kirk suffer in run support.
5. MORRISON – Great in coverage, lacking in run support. But then again, you don’t really know until you get some damn good DTs in front of them (see Ray Lewis’ complaints)
6. WILSON – By default he must fit in here. Don’t know a whole lot about him except what I read. Great run support. Not sure about coverage – a gambler. He’ll be in for some heavy duty run support this year. Hope he holds up.
7. KELLY – Why Kelly this low in comparison? Because no one can truly, with absolute confidence, guarantee that TK will be a beast at the 3tech if he has yet consistently been in the 3tech. I’m not doubting the boy has talent. Just saying we can’t really bank on it until we at least see it on the field (although I have seen some amazing plays by him outside the 3)
Our Best defenders deficiencies: NA(none), DB(maybe run support), Hall (gambler, hence inconsistent), TH/KM (run support), Wilson (maybe coverage), Kelly (?)
Damn – didn’t mean to go all over with this it just progressed that way. But I will say this: The proven talents on this team are on the defensive side of the ball. The only problem as I see it is: We have talent on the edges, talent in the middle of the field, but we are lacking talent in the middle of the line. Does this lack of skill at DT justify this whole defense falling apart is the question (?)
Your answer to that question is a partial, if not complete, answer to the true abilities of these defensive coaches.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:18 am
If your answer is “NO” …the poor DT play should not justify bottom dweller rankings then these Defensive coaches suck ass@! If your answer is “YES” ….a yes answer can have qualifications or an it will fall apart but within reason sort of qualification – then some leniency should be given ….the degrees of which is subjective.

hmm Caroline Wozniacki lost to the world ranked 3 Jelena Jancovic…. I guess that still means she will advance on the list… I don’t know how it works =)
June 28th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Onto the OFFENSE: A LOT of unprovens here so ranking them is even more stupid than ranking the defenders….
(based on sheer talent alone)
1. MCFADDEN – He can run, catch and play some QB. Needs to work on his center of gravity though (balance …lower shoulders, build legs). He seems a little to off tilt with his current running style.
2. BUSH – Another who can run, catch and pass. McFadden over him based solely on speed but its neck-n-neck. This is one big muthaf*er!
3. JaMARCUS RUSSELL – No. 3 ranking? Ignorance on my part? Maybe. But Bush/McF goes above because they do it all. However, make no mistake about it, the world revolves around Russell.
4. MILLER – He’s going to be the 2nd coming of the Ghost. Not as good but he’ll still be well above average to great.
5. COOPERC – Consistency
6. JAVON WALKER – When healthy
7. JUSTIN FARGAS – Delivers …gives it his all ..what more can you ask for
A trend? Maybe its wishful thinking on my part or maybe its true but to me at least it looks like the most talent on the offense are with our young guns (MB,DM,JR,ZM). These are all players that Kiffin drafted; and although its extremely early, they look to be amongst the best “talents” in the League at their respective positions – unproven of course.
This says to me: Just give Kiffin the time he needs (with due pressure of course to perform) because this thing he’s building could be HUGE! (I’m getting ahead of myself but with this ‘preliminary’ level of talent I’m thinkin’ multiple championships).
June 28th, 2008 at 7:44 am
That is with this ‘preliminary’ level of talent projecting forward (new acquisitions) I’m thinkin’ multiple championships.

This Walker thing is totally screwed. How is this guy gonna be ready for cam. Is he wearing a red untouchable jersey like jammy?
This guy is an alcoholic or drug addict. Getting into the borrowed car of some dirtbag that cant raise 8 grand to spring himself from jail. And I can see Javon on the witness stand-uh, I don’t remember your honor I was totally wasted.
What a sad story this guy is. Like my boy said-he’s a tard, but as long as he scores td’s. Well, this guy should be made an example of to save this team. Let him go!
June 28th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Defence;We only have 3 players over 300lbs.Warren,Sands,Joseph.I dont think we have the beef 2 play a 4-3.Warren at 330lbs is the big guy.In a 3-4,we could put Warren on the nose.Burgess and Kelly on the ends.I dont know if Irons is ready,but lets assume he is.We could put Irons and Hartwell in the middle.Now comes a million diffrent possibilites.At 6-6 Jay Richardson could play strong side next 2 Irons,kinda like Mad Stork;tall long arms 2 bat down passes.On weak side Trevor Scott could play next 2 Hartwell.He is faster than C.Long that some here wanted.I think he could be a sack machine.I know,I know all of you are saying what about,T.Howard,R.Thomas,R.Brown,K.Morrison,S.Wialliams? This is where the game would decide whos on field.Like I said,it seems were more of a 3-4 than a 4-3.What does THE NATION think??????????????

Hopefully Al can swing a trade with Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans. If they are desperate for a veteran RB and don’t want to miss out with Jordan signing else where then maybe we can land a WR (Williams or Horn) and dump that J-12 Walker. There has to be some clause for off field activity to save him some money. Or even sign Koren Robinson. I can’t see Walker being ready for contact football in one month after receiving facial fractures. Cut our losses if Al can p/u a decent WR.

not to rip up in a old discussion, but regarding lend lease….
The US has done the same thing to finance the war on terror… but in reverse…
The US has borrowed 600B from the Chinese and 200B from Japan…. which means you now are forced to trade with them as we were forced to trade with you for over 30 years with you….
who is worlds greatest nation, now? is the american empire’s downfall begun??
it took us over 30 year to payback the loan, how many generation will it take for the US to pay back to its former enemies?

There are different degrees of damage in facial injuries, Ben Roethlisberger broke his lower and upper jaws as well as his nose and other facial bones after his motorcycle accident in 06.
His accident was on June 13th and his surgery lasted 7 hours, he was probably in worst shape than Walker and he didn´t miss any training camp practice time and started in Pitt´s 1st pre-season game.
“training camp won´t even be an issue” says Kiffin, he should know better than any of us.
Also, you can´t terminate a player´s contract because he was beaten and robbed, you can blame him for bad judgement but truth is, he did nothing wrong and certainly nothing illegal.

“I’m not going to judge Javon. He’s been through stuff few of us can imagine. He’s really a good guy. I just hope the best for him.”
That´s former teammate John Lynch, maybe some of you should do the same.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Okay, Bob…Walker is a train wreck. Everyone said it, even his friends say he needs help. He may have passed a physical exam, but he possibly has mental issues that can effect his game. Also,if his face hurts, you don’t think he may be a bit gun shy and not want to get hit? The joker has everything to prove this year and live up to the big $$ paid to him! He should have been in in the bay area studying his plays, running routes with the QB and working out to drop the lbs that his coach wanted him to do. I’m sorry he got hurt, no one should suffer that, but he put himself in the situation and he is a grown man, not a rookie out of college!!! He was to be the best WR on the team and he should all of us how much he really cares so the hell with him, he has no excuse for his conduct. If I were paid millions of dollars and the WR face of a great franchise I’d expect all of you to judge me by my actions as I do of his! So I will not lay off him until he has redeemed himself…
June 28th, 2008 at 11:26 am

Bob Marley – You’re a Gentleman and a Scholar.
When are we going to set up our fantasy football teams?
June 28th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Marley, you’re right from your end, Walker’s critics are right from theirs. They’re just being realistic, that’s all. You’re treating Javon like he’s your son. That’s cool. Having faith that he’ll pull it together, whatever. A lot of us are just calling it as we see it. We don’t hate the guy. I just never thought he was that great to begin with. This is a business, Marley. The Raiders got that in the ’70s. All of those reclamation projects never would have stepped foot here if they weren’t good football players, and RELIABLE, too. Back in those days, teams cut players because their hair was too long. The cultural backlash of the ’60s was still ripe. We picked them up and the result was magic. But that’s not the case today. Some guys are just outright out of control. The closest thing we had to that in the ’70s was Warren Wells and the Tooz. And look at what happened with them. Once Warren Wells was arrested, he was cut. Once the Tooz went after Terry Robiskie with his freakin’ crutch, he was gone. He missed the ‘83 Super Bowl run. That Raiders organization drew a line. This one doesn’t. What’s missing? I don’t know. If I say Ron Wolf, I’m in love with him. And then everyone’s asking me how their asses taste. So fine, I won’t mention him. But whoever it was, Al needs someone like him again. Enjoy your Saturday.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
post 1253 Exactly,i agree no body that does no harm 2 anyone else should have 2 go through that.So untill he redeems himself,like RaiderKC rightfully says I wont lay-off him either.Also BOB MARLEY did roethlisberger have a broke orbital bone???
June 28th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Walker is far from a thug. He was in a car that got shot up by thugs and he was robbed by thugs. If anything, this makes him a victim to thug related activity. He hangs out with people, he gets shot at, he doesn’t hang out with people, he gets robbed. Hes obviously just trying to find a way to have a good time and its not working out all the time. Everyone has a past that has bad memories and situations so stop point the finger and acting innocent.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:42 am
KC…
He has no excuse for his conduct? what conduct exactly?.
He was in Oklanad working out all week in the OTA wasn´t he?. Do you think he was the only Raider who left town over the weekend and partied with his friends?.
The only reason this became a story is because he was robbed and beaten, hundreds of NFL players were partying all across the country that weekend and hundres will party tonight…and no one will complain or notice unless they end up as the victim of a violent crime, or even worse, if they commit a crime themselves.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:44 am
McFadden isn’t considered a thug right now even though he has some recent “thug” related activity. If he doesn’t play well within these next 2 years…I’m going to bet that people start to call him a thug because they don’t like him as a player. People will always change their story to their benefit. Thats reality. People will say, we should have never drafted him because he was obviously a thug and he can’t play and so on.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:45 am

June 28th, 2008 at 11:46 am
As far as Walker being a thug…there’s that word, again. Why not just come right out and call him a N*gger? It’s so obvious now that’s all that word means. I never hear it used to describe whites…like the hundreds of white people in that photo where Javon is spraying the champagne. They’re engaging in the same behavior he is, yet they aren’t thugs. They’re just a bunch of idiot kids out having a good time. Guess what, so is Javon. But don’t let me get in the way of your latent, passive aggressive racism and the verbal diarrhea that comes out of it.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:46 am
4evaRaider – Its not like that with rookie contracts so why would it be any different for someone like Walker, who has performed well in the past?
June 28th, 2008 at 11:47 am
I don’t rememebr that many reclamation projects in the 70’s. Everybody had long hair in the 70’s but the military. Tooz retired after the 81 season because he did not want to play anymore. Ron Wolf learned from Al Davis but would not have been a nobody without a great quarterback. The holes keep blowing through your b.s. MR.

Exactly, man. But it won’t do any good. People who use the word thug to primarily describe blacks are doing it to antagonize, and they aren’t going to stop any time soon. That’s the beauty of the internet. It gives people a place to vent on things that they’re too much of punks to vent on in the real world. Let them have their word thug. Let them have that release from their anger. God forbid they get up on that tower with a rifle and start picking off blacks on the street. Better they let it out in here.

Yes, his conduct! As I wrote he has so many people against him (press, etc) that he needs to prove wrong. Coach said he’s over weight, he’s in a new offense as the lead WR with a 1st year (basically rookie) QB and he needed to stay home. He’s got money obviously and he could have had the honeys/buddies over to his house where he can check anyone there! I’m not saying he’s a thug, but he is an adult who should have acted like one. If I was sprayed with booze at a club I’d knocked him out too!

If anything, they probably opened their mouths to catch as much alcohol as possible. I think everyone was having a good time. I think the robbery had to do with someone knowing who he was and knowing he has alot of money.
Walker is only 29. Hes still young. Does everyone in here act like an adult 24/7? The only fault of his was not having a couple of friends with him. You should never walk around Las Vegas alone. I’ve heard that gangs are picking up in Vegas and that there have been shootings in the open from 2 different gangs who were across the street from each other. Is the person who got shot in the middle of a cross fire an idiot for not protecting themselves better? Sh!t happens…it could have been anybody.
June 28th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Yes the personin the crossfire is an idiot for being there in the first place. It’s pretty simple, stay away from gang related establishments.

MR (or MoRon as he likes to be called) brings up an interesting intellectual point about the socio-economic differences between certain social strata, sometimes, but not every time, seperated by race.
In certain instances it isn’t race at all but more of the urban culture surrounding this strata in which art, theater and music provide the catalyst which defines this strata.
That being said, MoRon no doubt has heard some recent urban music propelled by pro athletes. This is the perfect symbiosis of urban culture, big business (the NFL)and urban art. In other words How does my ass taste MR??

SAPP INTERVIEW:
Not sure if this was already posted, but interesting answer when asked about his RAIDER experience…

June 28th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE RAIDERS?
Warren Sapp -
“As dark as a black hole. Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn’t to on in sports. I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let’s just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.”
June 28th, 2008 at 7:15 pm

June 28th, 2008 at 8:05 pm

June 28th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
How about my moniker as a thread
June 28th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
I don’t know why but it sucks to hear Sapp say that about his experience with the Raiders. I admire Sapp, he spent his years with the Raiders when we were absolutely terrible and he didn’t say much. He was a loyal soldier throught the tough times. The organization was an absolute disgrace to professional sports. I hope Al reads that, He is accountable for that. At some point it would be refreshing to hear Al accept some accountability. I love the Raiders anyway and always will. They better keep Kiffin, I think we are going to win 9 or 10 games this season. We need one more wide receiver, and we need to sign the center, Bently.

Oakglenn, how can someone be so incredibly wrong about the Raiders yet so incredibly right about politics?
I owe you one, so here it is.
Al Davis made a good move with Gibril Wilson. Gibril’s play may actually add a few wins. Dude’s a huge, huge upgrade. We’ve got a real shot at 8-8. If all of those Kiffin rumors turn out to be false, we’re a playoff team in ‘09. But I have to admit; I fear that’s a huge if…
June 29th, 2008 at 12:27 am
MR: Are you a Republican ally? We need you if you are. And as to the Raiders, I am terrified about the LT position, the one position on the team that I have little hope for. Any ideas? Harris? Really?
June 29th, 2008 at 12:32 am
Huff, stop responding the latent, passive aggressive racists in here who throw the word thug at every single black person who sneezes in the wrong direction. They’re doing it to antagonize, plain and simple. These guys don’t have the balls to tell black people in real life how they fell, so they come in here and let it out. Just ignore them. That’s what I do. If I want to hear sexually deprived white guys incessantly cry about black athletes, I can listen to sports talk radio any time I want.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Offensive line is still an issue, and the ZBS isn’t the answer to everything. We caught a few teams off guard with that last year. They’ll prepare for it better this year. We’ve got to mix it up, and, yes, our line has to give Russell time, as defenses are going to blitz him relentlessly. If all the Kiffingate drama is false, and I really hope it is, I believe all this stuff will be worked out. If the Kiffin drama is true, and Kiffin’s gone after this year? Lofton? * sigh.
And, if you know me or my politics, you’ll know that I’m pretty f’n far from being a Republican ally. Haven’t had much use for that party since the “Southern Strategy”.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:40 am

June 29th, 2008 at 12:55 am
Dakota….your political perspective is pretty much the same as the Raiders fans who talk about the “greatness of the Raiders” and Al Davis.
World War II is over a half a century ago. The United States is now lead by a half-witted, illiterate born again Christian buffoon, with a foreign policy that only erodes the true values and real interests of Americans and their nation.
Yeah America did their part in WWII, which had benefits for Europe. But look at everything we have done since???
Now take an honest look at the educational system, the destruction of the environment, the killing, poverty, racism etc. Are those American values?
The problem is that Americans think they are the best in the world. I love the true American spirit and the attitude that is truly unique, but we have to look at the facts, and the fact is that the U.S. is moving AWAY from it’s true values and falling like a bloated, confused, disfuntional post-Roman Empire.
The rest of the world has adopted many American values and now it’s time that the U.S. considered adopting some new values itself before it’s too late.
June 29th, 2008 at 1:03 am
Copenhagenfan: John would be very angry with me for saying this, but I agree with you. Let’s keep it our secret, OK? Americans think the 1950’s were normal life, and they were a unique and “never-to-be-seen-again” time of history.

From Pro Football Weekly
The long-term contract negotiations between the Raiders and exclusive franchise free-agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha continue to drag on, but we hear they have not turned contentious. Sources fully expect the two sides to reach an agreement, and Asomugha has made it clear that he has no intention of extending his holdout into the season.

You know, I didn’t read the Sapp interview in the Chronicle until yesterday. If someone already quoted him on his comments about the Raiders and how they’re ran, forgive me. But here’s an encore. Sorry. But this needs to be discussed.
Warren Sapp, when asked to describe his experience with the Raiders:
“As dark as a black hole. Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn’t go on in sports. I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let’s just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.”

June 29th, 2008 at 9:35 am
Now, although Sapp wasn’t asked directly about the Kiffin/Davis drama, that quote doesn’t go too far to debunk the rumors of Davis and Kiffin’s falling out, does it? I mean, if all was good between Al and Lane, it wouldn’t cost Sapp a dime to just say so. Instead, he gave a statement that clearly indicates the opposite.

June 29th, 2008 at 10:00 am
I admit it’s not exactly reassuring, what Sapp said, but it’s also kind of confusing, on the other hand. For example, what, exactly does this mean? “I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call.” People have been saying for years that the problem is that Al calls all the shots; Sapp seems to be saying that the problem is almost the opposite, that there is not one, defined decision maker. I also kind of doubt that the ’sideline phone’ rings all that much on gamedays; that sounds like dramatic license on Sapp’s part to me. Still, I will admit to finding what Sapp said to be troubling, as opposed to Randy Moss’s coments, which always sounded like the sour-grape whinings of an eternal malcontent.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Sapp needs to STFU he didnt do isht as a raider!!! I hold him responsible for our D’s run stopping problems.. and dont give me any BS about his leadership cuz now hes blasting us in the papers… ufck him!!! A new day is comming to our beloved RAIDERS.. Best defense is a good offense and all that…
June 29th, 2008 at 10:12 am
MR is a liar (nice name, btw. One of those great philosopher types one said that all attention is good attention. Don’t quite know if I believe it, but while in this blog, I obviously have no choice but to subscribe to the theory, right?), what do you think Sapp meant by his comments? I mean, I know you don’t KNOW. Because far be it from you to ever give an opinion without having all of the facts. But just this one time, I won’t hold it against you. Give your best assessment of Sapp’s comments.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:15 am
And guys, remember, I didn’t attempt to decipher what Sapp said, word for word, either. All I said was that if there were no drama between Kiffin and Davis, the way the press reported it, it wouldn’t cost Sapp a dime to just say that all is well. Now, Sapp wasn’t asked directly about Davis vs. Kiffin, but his comments about this organization, and mind you, this interview took place LAST WEEK, certainly adds fuel to the fire. I mean, his comment goes in the complete opposite direction of debunking the media’s stories on the dysfunction in Alameda.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:15 am
MR
Sapps just jellous cuz nobody wants him on their morning show…

408, while we’re agreed on Sapp’s performance as a Raider, which was certainly an overall disappointment (can’t help but to believe that Sapp was another has been that Davis got googly eyed over…), do you think he’s lying about the state of the Raiders?
June 29th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Of course Sapp is trying to get attention, 408. The man’s been trying to get attention since the doctor slapped him on the ass. But is he lying?

June 29th, 2008 at 10:22 am
MR
Lie’n no!! exaggerating?.. well maby but thats besides the point.. untill AL releases some control its always going that way with the RAIDERS.. & no I dont like it but it is what it is.. all Kiffin has to do is win some games like 8 or 9 and hell get more rope….
June 29th, 2008 at 10:26 am
408, if what Sapp says is true (the likeliness of his exaggerating noted..), which you seem to allude to, it would meant that it’s not Kiffin’s fault that we can’t win 8 or 9 games. So it makes no sense for Kiffin to be held to that standard. A coach can not win if he’s being micromanaged by someone higher up the ladder who’s second guessing him at every turn.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Either that, or it would mean that Kiffin is getting in the way. If that’s the case, then hey, fire the guy. Hire another puppet like Shell. What’s the point of hiring Kiffin if his expertise is not welcome? Or…if he has none to speak of, which many in here have said? What’s the point???
Again, this is in light of Sapp’s comments. You guys may think MaddenRaiders’ opening up the same old can of worms. Uh uh…This time, it was Warren who opened it!
June 29th, 2008 at 10:33 am
MR
Agreed but Madden did it as did Flores and to some extent so did gruden(ass face).. so its not impossible for Kiffin to do the same ya dig?

June 29th, 2008 at 10:42 am
408, it’s possible Davis is getting more difficult to work for, though. Our record over the past 5 years is by far our worst 5 year run, ever. If Kiffin was to bring Gruden, excuse me, ass face like results, he wound up 4 games short of the curve in his first year. We were 6-2 at one point in the ‘98 season, which was ass face’s first year. After Gruden’s first season, I don’t recall too many negative comments, like what came from Sapp, coming from players that played on the ‘98 team. The stench that’s here today just wasn’t there, then. And the press was just as much out to get Al Davis then as they are today.

gruden got his toys after the 98 season as did Kiffin this off season so…. well have to wait and see. Al cant even make it to Practice anymore so how meddeling can he actually be the guy is old and he just dosent have what it takes any more..so he’s useing Mark and Amy 2 run things now… wich is a whole other scary issue
June 29th, 2008 at 10:56 am
408, you’re making the case now that Al Davis couldn’t meddle anymore due to his age and health. So, you do believe Sapp is lying? Or, is there someone else Sapp’s referring to when he talks about the phone ringing on the sideline? Is Al Davis too old to watch a monitor, watch a football game from his owner’s box, and/or to pick up a phone?
June 29th, 2008 at 10:56 am
408,
I hate the off-season, thank God for the draft and FA, and the off-season drama. Raiders are going to kill some teams this year.(denver,KC)
June 29th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Sapp likes to run his mouth, I wouldn’t take what he said too seriously, plus he misses the spotlight.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:00 am
O
but I realy want to beat the chokers this loosing to the AFC west is freaking killing me… I dont have season tix but I go to all divisonal home games Ill just sayu the ride back to San Jose hasn’t been a good 1 for a long time I hate when we loose @ home
June 29th, 2008 at 11:06 am
408,
Denver and KC don’t have the offense or a defense to win, but SD (and I hate to say this cause I live in SD and I hate the chokers) do have a good team that has been playing well for the last 2 yrs, so i would be happy if we split, but Denver and KC are sorry.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:10 am
MR
I already said I didnt think he was lieing… as for whos on the phone how the ufck should I know??? Pluss Al will meddle as long as he’s alive so all we can do is raider on dude…..
June 29th, 2008 at 11:15 am
O
agreed but LT is starting to break down Gates is still a beast and rivers is a snivelling b!otch ther d is good tho….. ufck the chokers they’ve never won anything… I’d be good with a split this year and a sweep next year….. oh yeah thats what Im talkin bout.. Steve ur breakin my balls here we need a new thread….
June 29th, 2008 at 11:25 am
408, who could Sapp have been referring to other than Davis, when he talked of the phone ringing on the sideline? I’m pretty sure he was talking about Davis, unless there’s a GM in Oakland I don’t know about. You’re suggesting that Davis is in no health to micro manage. So, then you are suggesting that Sapp is lying. Again, all that absolves this is someone else being on that phone. Who could it be? Who could it be now?
June 29th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Sapp is lying, Raider O?
June 29th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Soccer time.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:28 am
IMO, Sapp was probably speaking about his whole experience in Oakland, his first 3 years under Norv and Shell were tough.
We know Norv does not have the kind of personality that takes over a team so I´m guessing many players never really felt he would hold them accountable and AD´s presence was magnified.
Shell tried to show he was the man from the start but seems like things backfired and we ended up with the Jerry Porter situation, that was a mess as players wanted him on the field, they thougt he was being treated unfairly but Shell never gave in and AD sided with the Coach as he did not intervene in Porter´s behalf.
As far as last season, here´s what said Sapp said in December with the season nearing the end: “It takes you a little while once you get ahold of an organization to get it turned,” locker-room spokesman Warren Sapp notes, “But so far, so good for the young fella.”
I would think realized things were changing but his overall experience in Oakland had more negatives than positives and he speaks accordingly.
By the way, I don´t get Sapp, I just read about his retirement party yesterday and Gruden, Monte and Lane Kiffin were there, this just days after Sapp gave Dungy most of the credit for the SB win and accused Monte of running him out of town…one would think Gruden and Monte didn´t exactly appreciate his comments but they were there, maybe they learned long ago that you have to take everything Sapp says with a grain of salt.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Raiders will sweep division THIS YEAR 408!!!
June 29th, 2008 at 11:33 am
So Marely, which is it, is Sapp referring to pre Kiffin, or is he lying? You allude to both.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Bob
nice comment I totally agree…. MR dude iI never said he was lieing so get off that 1 and Mr Davis can call the sideline whenever he wants Kiffin just needs to learn to ignore AL and do his job wich I feel he is doing…
4eva I would like nothing more but SD is still veary good
June 29th, 2008 at 11:44 am
408 Raider, you did say he was lying. You said that Davis is no health to micromanage the Raiders. Sapp was certainly referring to Al Davis when he spoke of the phone ringing on the sideline. Your suggestion by default accuses Sapp of being a liar. Perhaps you don’t even know what you’re saying?
June 29th, 2008 at 11:45 am
BTW, 408, which part of Bob Marley’s comment do you agree with, the part where he suggests Sapp was referring to Turner/Shell, or the part where he suggests that Sapp is outright lying altogether?
June 29th, 2008 at 11:46 am
I think it´s a bit of both, but I just said Sapp´s comments should be taking with a grain of salt, I didn´t call him an outright liar. It´s not like I know the guy and I doubt anyone here does…this is all speculation and “interpretation” on our part, we can´t be right or wrong.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:47 am
MR come clean do you bleed silver and black like the rest of us or are u realy a troll choker/whiner fan like every1 thinks…. I’ve given you the Benefit of the Doubt up to this point but ur putting to much stock in this sapp thing and its makeing me wonder…..
June 29th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Yes, 408, I bleed Silver and Black. The reason I’m putting stock into this “Sapp thing” is because my favorite football team is coming off of it’s 5th straight last place season. Because of this, I’m willing to give criticism of this franchise by former player the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you, 408. You Raider on, too. But I don’t think Sapp is lying. I think he’s telling the truth, and I think what he’s talking about had better be addressed. I can only hope now that the yahoo sports report that Davis is regretting his own managerial style and is considering giving up control is true.

408, if you really believe, then you believe. Nobody can kill your buzz. That’s what the kool aid’s there for. If I’m able to kill your buzz, then it’s probably because you agree with me.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I’ll tell you what, I believe that if Kiffin is here for 3 years, we’re a playoff team that 3rd year, which is next year. But like I said yesterday, I fear that’s a huge if. But if he’s here next year, I believe we’re a playoff team. I believe this year we have a shot at 8-8. I don’t believe we’ll win 9 games this year, even if everything is cool between Davis and Kiffin, and always has been. I still don’t think we’re good enough.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
MR,
What a change. It’s great to read rational posts from you. Keep it up.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

gotta go run some erands like an adult
raider on nation
June 29th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Allright, I´ll play along…try to keep up.
Sapp´s comments don´t even make much sense, first he says no one knows who´s calling the shots and then he says the phone rings a lot on the sidelines which would mean that AD calls every shot.
Everyone agrees last year´s team played much better than previous years even if the record didn´t reflect it, so….should we thank AD for picking up the phone and telling Kiffin what to do?.
Sapp said so.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Of course, there´s no way I believe that, but judging from your words today, you do MR.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
So then, Marley, Sapp is lying, right? Or, was he only referring to Turner/Shell with his comments, which was your first response today to this topic?

June 29th, 2008 at 10:15 am
And guys, remember, I didn’t attempt to decipher what Sapp said, word for word, either. All I said was that if there were no drama between Kiffin and Davis, the way the press reported it, it wouldn’t cost Sapp a dime to just say that all is well. Now, Sapp wasn’t asked directly about Davis vs. Kiffin, but his comments about this organization, and mind you, this interview took place LAST WEEK, certainly adds fuel to the fire. I mean, his comment goes in the complete opposite direction of debunking the media’s stories on the dysfunction in Alameda.

Why does sapp need to mention any disagrement with davis and kiffin..was he there or was he just speculating like you are, do you have proof sapp has or knows what was going on.,he is just guessing like you always do MR

LOL. Alright, later, Marley. I see you’ve got soldiers doing your fighting for you. Must be nice. I’m the Rambo of this blog. I’m all alone. But I caught you in a pretty good flip flop there, Marley. It’s obvious now you think Sapp is lying. So then why the disingenuous attempt to pass it off as a reference to Turner/Shell? Ahh, you go out and have fun. Let your henchmen answer for ya.
June 29th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
MR is a liar (did I tell you I love that name?), I referenced the reports of Davis and Kiffin falling out, and Kiffin subsequently being gone after this year, to make the point that Sapp’s comments go entirely in the wrong direction of dispelling those reports.
June 29th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
MR is a liar and hater (sorry, I forgot the “hater” part previously. Forgive me.

While we now know Marley isn’t the most honest person in the world, I actually do believe him when he says he only posts under the name Bob Marley), what’s your take on Sapp’s comments? Do you, MR is a liar, a hater, and an overall skallywag, believe that Sapp is outright making this all up? Is he telling the truth? Is he referring to Al Davis? Was he only referring to the Turner/Shell years? Is Sapp simply not to be truted? You can always give Marley’s answer, which is the latter two combined, and ignore it’s contradiction.

Well, MR, Sapp didn’t give us any specifics or name anybody did he? On one hand, he says there isn’t one person who is making the call, then he infers that insbordination is grounds for a firing and the phone rings on the sideline a lot.
I’ve always found the Al is calling coaches on the sidelines quite funny. It’s amazing that with the advancements in television and showing Al up in the owner’s box for over 30 years, there would be at least one visual proof of Al calling someone on the sideline.
By the way, here is a specific quote on Al Davis by Warren Sapp that I’m sure a fair & balanced(heavy sarcasm) like you should enjoy.
“You’re talking about one of the sharpest football minds you’ll ever come around.”
June 29th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Here’s another quote by Sapp, MR Jocker:
“The Raiders are a black hole”.
So, Jocker, is Sapp lying about what he recently said?
June 29th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
MR is a hater, liar, thief, convict, lawyer, doctor, elitist liberal, and whatever else you can come up with; You did answer my question, rather you intended to or not. You said Sapp has no clue, which makes him a liar. Why do you think he’s lying, MR is a hater, liar, cheat, hooligan, skallywag, person who really gets under my skin? What’s his motive? Back your theory with some clarification.

MR..it must hurt your feelings that when asked about your boy gruden..sapp replied he just put icing on the cake..MR that is crushing..your great coach is a cake dresser..not a great coach..sapp did say that..but what does that really mean.. is he lieing.. or just having some fun..sapp is and always will be about sapp
June 29th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I already stated earlier, I agree with Sapp regarding Gruden. Gruden won with Dungy’s team. Anything else, MR is an every negative thing in the world? Now, back to the topic: Sapp shredding the Raiders’ organization to the press last week. You clearly believe Sapp is lying. You said he’s “clueless”. Yeh, I’m sure he is clueless. I mean, he only played for the team for the previous 4 years… But anyhow, tell us, why is he making this up? Back your theory up with something concrete. That way it’ll be taken seriously.

June 29th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
MR I hope you dont mind a little constructive criticism since you have no problem dispensing it to others.
My second ex’s mom was one heck of an unlikeable woman . She could not stand to be wrong about anything so she would always ignore any points being made that did not defend her stance. Then she would pull what ifs and maybes and you said’s out of left field in a vain attempt to make herself look good. And to make it worse she could not stand it if anyone was having a good time so she ruined everything we did, I mean EVERTHING. We took the kids to disneyland, she invited herself and she even rained on the dam disneyland parade. My kids were bawling their poor little eyes out from listening to her whine and complain.
Her husband ran away from home the first chance he got and we never heard or saw from him again untill her funeral. You would have thought the man had died and gone to heaven. He said just knowing she wasnt lurking in the shadows to ruin his day anymore made him fell like a million bucks.
To top everything else off, I think the Baby Jesus was poking me with a sharp stick because she was a bronco fan and the only time I ever saw her smile was when the dam doncs beat us and she would rub it in. My wife divorced me shortly after I ran over her moms dog. I was drunk but it was an accident and her mom said I did it on purpose because the doncs beat us that day. She would not forgive me and things fell apart after that.
Anyway if you are looking for the moral of the story, there isnt one. You just remind me of me exs mom.

The best thing that could have ever happened for the Raiders in the last 2 years was Sapp finnaly quiting. His leadership was not what Davis had hoped for and he clearly was a situational player for the Raiders but given the starting role due to injuries. Its a good thing he is no longer running his mouth in the Raiders locker room.

Sapp was so overrated, Davis really screwed up agreeing to sign that punk. 45-0 should have been all anyone needed to see as a healthy Wheatly ran amuck but they will put him in the Hall because of his big mouth. If not for Gannon’s 5 interceptions Sapp would not even be on dancing with the stars.

I am glad to see Davis holding out till the deadline to release Jordan. It’s also comforting to know if Sapp decided to make a comeback Davis has his rights and can trade him to the highest bidder.

BOWMAN MAKES A BIG SPLASH
Posted by Mike Florio on June 29, 2008, 4:10 p.m.
Spurned by the NFL, rookie receiver Adarius Bowman headed north of the border. And, in his first regular-season game with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Bowman, um, blowed up.
Six catches, 112 yards, one touchdown.
Bowman’s efforts propelled the Roughriders to a 34-13 win on Saturday night against the Edmonton Eskimos.
“I’m loving this — we’re in it together and this is the first of many,” Bowman said after the game.
With the Roughriders leading by only seven points, Bowman caught a 73-yard touchdown pass.
The former Oklahoma State product fell off NFL draft boards, and then drew no interest via undrafted free agency

MR gets under my skin,
Congrats on the chick. And, I really believe you.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Rebel, we’re agreed (for a change) on Davis making a mistake by signing Sapp. Al took no consideration as to why Tampa dumped Warren. Al’s sort of known for that, and he hasn’t changed. See: WALKER, Javon.
But that being said, I have no reason to believe that Sapp is lying about the current state of the Raiders. His comments seem to be consistent with everything that has gone on and everything that has been reported in recent months. Remember Kiffin: “Where there’s smoke there’s fire”. That was his response as to rather or not ALL of the rumors were true or false. It was the white collar version of what Sapp said.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Well Said, MR. Way to keep up the heat on the Raider fans. Raiders suck. time to come back to 9er HQ and put your cute little Niner Jammies on, MR.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Ha ha. Cute. An original way to pull the “you’re a Niner fan” card. I give it a 7 out of 10.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
BTW, Al Davis is putting more heat on Raider fans than I ever could. He’s the one who’s making you hard cores look stupid year after year.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
If I were in charge of the Raiders? You guys would be sitting pretty. You’d actually have wins to point to when niner and dolt trolls come in here, as opposed to empty rhetoric and nostalgic glory. *tsk tsk…I would have addressed our run defense this off season.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
You mean you’re not a niner fan MR??? (wink wink). You coulda fooled me. Now on to doing another Toyota commercial. Just tell those dumb Raider fans how much Al Davis sucks and how great Ed DeBartolo was.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
I’m no Niner fan, nor an Eddie Debartolo fan. Debartolo…Freaking 3rd rate wannabe gangster, wound up snitching. But I’ll continue to tell the kool aid drinking Davis worshippers how much Al Davis sucks, you can count on that. If there’s anyone more responsible for the Raiders losing 61 games in the past 5 years than Al Davis, let’s hear it.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
The only team I want the Raiders to be ran like is the New York Giants. They’re the champions. Al Davis’s goal should be to make his team better than the champions. That should be every GM’s goal. I don’t see where he’s made one single move in that direction. He’s only trying to build a caricature of his 1967 team, like he has the past 5 years. I don’t see how this season’s going to wind up any different, unless Kiffin just takes the team over and does whatever he wants, rather Al likes it or not. Let’s hold the good thought.
June 30th, 2008 at 1:38 am
Why is “liberal” a dirty word in America?
Bush and Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Jessie Helms, Strom Thurman, etc are conservatives.
Let’s put a brother in the White House and change America for the better and embrace TRUE American values. Our founding fathers were EXTREME liberals!
June 30th, 2008 at 1:41 am
Maybe if we had like universal health care, fair conditions for all and a good education system there would be fewer “thugs”?
June 30th, 2008 at 3:15 am
Jesus was not a liberal! He didn’t believe in “hand outs”. he’ll teach you to fish not allow you to sit on your couch while the community paid for fish to be delivered to your house.
We are an animal. In animal world the weakest link dies. Let it be.
June 30th, 2008 at 3:47 am
JIM if the weak die out based on natural selection, how does that explain the existence of hoards of trailer parks filled with uneducated, ignorant, beer guzling white trash?
June 30th, 2008 at 4:02 am
The coaches and players are the ones that have lost 61 games, not Davis, no matter how you try to spin it.
June 30th, 2008 at 4:12 am
Better to let all the thugs live in trailers than give them a house and health care on tax payers money like in some parts of Europe. Anyone can get a free education these days. You can educate people but its up to them to listen. Letting thugs get a free pass does not solve any of their problems, it just creates more problems for eveyone else. Maybe Obama or McCain will push for a carbon tax on the rest of the world to help the thugs in America get on their feet. Since Europe likes taxes so much we can raise thier taxes to help the common good of the world.
June 30th, 2008 at 4:15 am
The thugs do eliminate each other so there is some natural selection there.

Dakota, I thought you were a student of history, check the mortality rated for mother & unborn children before abortion was legal. That is if you are worried about useless deaths.Besides when did YOU grow a womb?
Speaking of useless deaths, why are you a republican if you care at all? You root for the party that refuses to take care of our soldiers with care after they are wounded(veteran’s hospitals). 4 tours of duty for soldiers. Beinfits for soldiers. Ending a useless war that kills our soldiers. Since you voted for GWB your opinion involving politics should be over looked because of the faulty judgement you showed. Oh, BTW WHERE’S IS BIN LADEN????? Typical republican, support the wars but abandon the soldiers fighting, care more about the unborn than you do the people all ready alive. Disgusting belief system from a faction of people who crave nothing but power & money but shove their version of “holiness” in everyone’s face.

La Mil, sorry to have missed the “Euro” bashing about WW2, I didn’t know so many posters here “saved your Danish ass” during WW2 I figured they were much younger than 70-80 yrs old. They (flag waving, gay for america fanatics)take past war so seriously when you point out a few flaws, it’s like you attack their manhood here in america. But I have to point out how Prescot Bush (yes GHWB’s father & GWB’s grandfather) supported the Nazis with the most valuable commodity at the time that would get the Nazi army off the ground: $$$$$$$. But it’s best to ignore the important stuff like they do with global warning(if it doesn’t fit their belief system BS, then it needs to be ignored or blasted the people bringing it up as “no good s#!ts!!!!) But by pointing out the truth in their eyes I hate America (again their BS). Funny how truth is the staple of their religion but best to ignore that thing or they might go crazy!!!
On a possitive note………….GO RAIDERS!!!!

I do not watch soccer. Yesterday was the absolute
exception. To be honest, I probably will not watch again until another major event. The quality of play and the action was spectaculor. It was riveting and exciting. The difference between a regular season game in any sport and the best of the best in a final.
I finally saw a soccer game that was more exciting than watching paint dry. lol

I did not say this. When MR is posting, always take other posts with a grain of salt.
Well, actually, I agree with most of the troll’s comment (living in trees, pot smoking, and elitist Euros), but I do not agree with the second to last line. I do not believe in aborting healthy babies just for the convenience of the parents, but in cases of inc3st, r@pe and medical necessity there should be exceptions.
It has nothing to do with God, just right and wrong…and I decide what is right and what is wrong for everyone! lol.

In response to your insult La Milicia the only reason Pilot let the sect choose who to save is because Pilot was outnumbered if he had went ahead and killed them both. Thats why the Romans arrested James and Jesus in the first place is that they had gotten wind of a uprising. The Romans could have cared less about peace in the region, Pilot just did not want to get hung by an angry mob that day. I don’t know what history you are reading but its not very accurate.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:43 am
LMN, to the rest of the world the Bay Area and LA are the same thing: plastic fantastic.
The same approach is valid for Denamrk/Holland. With so many similarities, the minor differences (so dear to locals) prove meaningless to the broader public.
The same is true for:
> Spain/Portugal
> Australia/NewZealand
> Scotland/England
> Southern US/armpit
Speaking of armpits, what say we let Puerto Rico become a state and combine North and South Dakota to keep an even 50?

I went to a free Oakland As game this weekend (where they were used to mop the floor with) vs the Giants. My God I had forgotten how boring that sport is. No amount of beer could have helped make it a little exciting.
There where a few times when I saw the out fielders for both teams yawning a few times.
Americas past time my arse! Raider games are hundreds of time more exciting. After a while I was cheering “Leave Oakland!!” or “Cover up my infield!”.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:44 am
I didn’t know they had plane then, pretty cool of the romans to have a pilot…
But it doesn’t matter Pontius Pilate was outnumbered, the was the only force present.. numbers didn’t matter… it was his own who let him get killed.. in fact thats a major point of Jesus life….
June 30th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Thats b.s. you read from the bible, the mob was already armed but had no leadership because the Romans had them.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Bo…
true so very true… but we have pretty similar history to Sweden (norway was under Danish or Swedish rule most of their existence), where Netherlands history is more like the Swiss, belgium and lichthenstein…
But today(after 1960’s), Holland/netherlands, Denmark, Norway or sweden are more like eachother, and are proud of it…
To you our englis is pretty much similar too, i guess… same weird quirks…
June 30th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Most of the crowd present was from Qumran and supported James. It was just bad luck for Jesus.

well my point is that jesus was brought to us people so his own could get him killed, for the ’souls’ of future people…..

Jim (Ct Raider),
Comparing Jesus to an animal, huh? That’s new.
And, most people who sit on their couches and take hand outs aren’t even liberal. Talk to anyone who works in the advertising department at NASCAR.
That being said, I was more referring to Jesus’s views on peace and love, views considered to be a weakness by modern day conservatives. If Jesus is alive today, according to American conservatives, he’d be a pacifist coward.
And, besides, I don’t know if Jesus would be as conservative economically as you think. Who the heck survives on fish these days, anyway? There was no Halliburton when Jesus walked the earth. You’re trying to make it sound as if Jesus spent most of his days trading stocks on his cell phone, while ignoring homeless people asking him for change. In this world where big businesses destroys the planet, I can see Jesus being a union leader.
Jesus is more liberal than anyone walking the planet today.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Andrew’s mom, I was referring to MaddenRaider gets under my skin, with the grading thing. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were more mature and had better things to do. My mistake.
So, you compared me to your father’s ex girlfriend, was that it? I didn’t read it thoroughly, I more less skimmed. But what I picked up, and what you perhaps might have missed yourself, is that as much of a bitch as she may have been, she was obviously stronger than your father. She’s strong, your father’s weak. So, I’ll take the comparison to her.
Therefore, that put down would have to be a “D-”.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:46 am
LMN…some Mount Rushmore history…we really pulled one over on Calvin:
Presidential Attention
In the spring of 1927, President Calvin Coolidge decided to spend his three-week summer holiday in the Black Hills.
State officials immediately began preparing for the visit by remodeling the rustic State Game Lodge in Custer State Park, which was selected to be Coolidge’s “summer White House.”
On June 15, Senator Norbeck and 10,000 South Dakotans warmly greeted President and Mrs. Coolidge, their two dogs and the First Lady’s pet raccoon, as they stepped from the train in Rapid City. They were soon settled comfortably into the Game Lodge and the Dakotan way of life. Their three-week visit turned into a three-month stay.
Coolidge couldn’t have known that his fishing skills were greatly enhanced by park officials. Before the president’s arrival, chicken wire was stretched across the creek upstream and downstream from the president’s quarters. Lunker trout from a nearby fish hatchery were trucked in nightly—so many that Coolidge couldn’t help but fill his creel as he “learned to fish.”
This extended vacation allowed Borglum and Norbeck enough time to convince Coolidge to participate in the formal dedication of Mount Rushmore. On August 10, the president rode horseback to the mountain, sporting cowboy boots and a 10- gallon hat given to him by local residents.
“We have come here to dedi-cate a cornerstone laid by the hand of the Almighty,” Coolidge told a crowd of 1,000 South Dakotans. In an impassioned speech by a man not known for his passion, Coolidge became the first to refer to Mount Rushmore as a “national shrine,” then pledged federal support for the project.
After listening with satisfaction to the president’s remarks, the 60-year-old Borglum climbed to the mountain’s craggy summit and symbolically drilled six holes to mark the commencement of carving. The Mount Rushmore dream would em-brace the remaining 14 years of his life and leave a monument unlike any other.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Johnny Rebel,
I said to name one single individual human being that’s more responsible for the Raiders losing 61`games in the past 5 years than Al Davis. The reason you haven’t named one yet is because there isn’t one…no matter how you spin it.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Dakota,
I used to go to a men’s clothing store in Yankton called the Globe. Then west to cover accounts near the Missouri River near the reservations and then back North to Worthington. Beautiful country which every one should have the opportunity to see. Except for the speed trap on the interstate near Worthington. I knew I was in trouble when sitting in front seat, the trooper has a brass name plate under the radar detector. lol.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Dakota, very few people under the age of 65 take Mount Rushmore seriously. Nobody visits it. They did a report on how the place is always littered with trash anymore. People get out for a few seconds, and throw their McDonald’s bags right over the barrier.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:57 am
funny story… still sad :/
June 30th, 2008 at 11:05 am
What’s sad is that there’s slave owners up on a freaking rock that old white people, to this day, still pay homage too. F’k Mount Rushmore. Here’s another reason to not take it seriously…there’s a movement taking place to put George W. Bush up there. I actually hope they do, because it would solidify my point that the whole thing is a joke. Soon as Bush goes up, nobody, of any age, would take that thing seriously anymore. It’d be filled with graffiti.

I do not believe in aborting healthy babies just for the convenience of the parents, but in cases of inc3st, r@pe and medical necessity there should be exceptions.
It has nothing to do with God, just right and wrong…and I decide what is right and what is wrong for everyone! lol.”

Dakota, when you clone on blogs and message board, you’re supposed to use subtleties to make the person look stupid, that way people are really confused as to rather or not it’s them. You can’t just come out and say, “I’m a 49er fan!!”, or “I’m a charger fan!!”, or “I’m gay! I’m going to the gay pride parade”. A tad bit too obvious, Dakota. Don’t you get that?

Sacramento…80 miles from Oakland, btw. About an hour freeway drive. Born and raised on the Raiders. Everyone in the neighborhood I grew up in is Raider fans. And, they’re all disgusted with the losing. These are local fans, who were on board from day one. Lamonica, Stabler. And, they bash Al all the time. Give him credit for the good he’s done, but aren’t afraid to admit that he’s lost his mind. That’s how local Raider fans, in and around the bay area, feel about Al, for the most part. It’s idiots out in tenbucktoo Wyoming who like the Raiders solely for all of Al’s stupid mythology. We want the team to win. We have to deal with these Whiner fans out here. It’s a non stop game of one upmanship. Same goes for the fans in LA, vs. the Chargers. You yokels out in the yonder just don’t get that. You guys have the luxury to buy into all of this stupid mythology.

Would have loved to go to a Laker game in the ’80s if you could get a ticket. I don’t know what happened to that organization, and its fans. It’s sad. Both on the court, and off.

You’re right, Dakota, those cowbells were no match for the corrupted officials. I don’t know what those idiots were thinking.
BTW, I’m not that big of a Kings fan anymore, and really even wasn’t when they were good a few years ago. I actually liked the team a few years before the Maloofs bought it. I liked Gary St. Jean’s team, Spud, Mitch, Walt, B. Grant, they were a budding team. It’s just that turd owner (from LA, no surprise) wouldn’t get them the pieces they needed in the FA market. Only Mitch Richmond got the big check. Everyone else was on the cheap. Maloofs took over, sprayed their money all over the place. Great…except for the fact that every bandwagon fat bitch in town became a Kings fans. Families and kids started showing up to the games (used to be you could go to a game, buy standing room, and find an empty seat on the first level by half time). It’s been a zoo, since. Good luck getting a ticket. No standing room. You’ve got to shell out serious cash to someone selling them in the paper. Screw those idiots and their cowbells. I’m torn between being upset at how the refs screwed the Kings, and being perfectly pleased with the fact that those bandwagon a-holes with their stupid cowbells got what they had coming. In the early ’90s these heffers coulnd’t find their way to Arco.

Oakland is just over an hour drive from Sacramento. Denver is in Colorado. Now I believe you graduated from a public school in Sac. It’s showing. Private schools too, for that matter. Christian Brothers and Jesuit churned out nothing but idiots, too. Jesuit’s a basketball factory, anymore. Gives poor blacks from Oak Park and the Heights free tuition to go there, giving them an edge over b ball powerhouses like Sac High. Scaring off all the rich white people, making them put their daughters in home studies.

It would mean you’re the best she can do. People are only as faithful as their options. So, go out and let the ladies of Montana in on your African sized junk. If you wife could do better than you, she would.

June 30th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Today, at Sporting News.com (though google news search: “Lane Kiffin, Al Davis”)
“If the rumors are accurate, Kiffin could be pushed out — even before training camp. Such a move would be highly unusual, but Oakland owner Al Davis supposedly views the offensive and defensive coordinators as the two keys to the coaching staff, and he believes the head coach is an easily replaced game-day manager.
Even if Kiffin coaches the Raiders in Week 1 against the Broncos — and he probably will — he needs to have a big year. Whether that includes a playoff appearance remains to be seen. If the Raiders are on the wrong side of .500 again, it’s a safe bet that Kiffin will be the latest in a line of Oakland coaches who didn’t survive more than two seasons on the job.”

June 30th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Yeh, St. Kaufman. It’s not like Al Davis to fire coaches after two seasons, so Florio was way out of line for suggesting that Kiffin is on the hot seat.
June 30th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Frankly Speaking
• In an interview with the St. Petersburg Times, Warren Sapp gave a vivid description of his time with the Raiders: “As dark as a black hole,” he said. “Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn’t go on in sports. I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let’s just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.” Having worked in that “black hole” for eight years, I know exactly what Warren is talking about. And those calls to the sideline are from one man and one man only. At times I have been the reluctant messenger on a few of them myself. They are never pleasant.

McCain’s campaign at this point entirely relies on racism. His only prayer is that in November there’ll be more white people afraid of a black president than white people who would be willing to vote for Obama. Judging by the polls, it’s not happening. McCain could also pull ahead by denouncing Bush. That would put him neck in neck with Obama. But, obviously, he’s nothing more than a tool for the Republican party. I think he’s their throwaway candidate. They were seeing if Guiliani would fare well against either Obama or H. Clinton but the Florida polls didn’t look good, so Rudy made up some stupid excuse about his health to save face. He’ll be back, running against Obama in ‘12.
June 30th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
In fact, you can stick a fork in Rudy. Rudy ran on that 9/11 this, 9/11 that platform in the Repub primaries and it got him nowhere. ‘12 will be over a decade removed from the attacks. If his invoking 9/11 into every single issue didn’t work in ‘08, it’s not going to work in ‘12.
June 30th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
I think McCain’s campaign is all about experience, or Obama’s lack there of, not racism. Isn’t bringing up racism, when nobody else is, reverse racism?

Carve the tunnel of hope,
Through the mountain of despair
With this faith,
I will go out with you and,
Transform dark yesterdays
Into bright tomorrows
With this faith,
We will be able to achieve
This new day
When all of God’s children,
Black men and white men,
J3ws and gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics
Will be able to join hands
And sing with the negroes,
In the spiritual of old
Free at last, free at last,
Thank God almighty,
We’re free at last.

The Negative
In Week 7 last season, the Chiefs were beating Oakland 6-0 in the second quarter. The Raiders had just one first down prior to the drive. Faced with a third-and-two from the Kansas City 18, Oakland rookie head coach Lane Kiffin called for a run resulting in a 1-yard gain. Instead of kicking the field goal, the Raiders went for it on fourth down and failed to convert. The Raiders ended up losing 12-10. Many naysayers pointed to the fourth-down call as the mistake, but in reality, the third down call was the real miscue. Had the game been managed correctly, Kiffin would have known a field goal was not an option before making his third-down call. With that knowledge, the play book is wide open on third down and the potential is there for a big play.

I’m not so sure KK. One of the best running teams in the NFL can’t get 2 yards on the ground in 2 plays?? He had to be playing the odds on that one. We came back and did the same thing to KC later in the year.

I’m not hearing alot of support for Harris. Before the draft, I plead for Clady. We had our big star in JMarc, and potential stars at RB. A strong line has always been a Raider hallmark, and I.m getting little feeling from the NATION that they really believe in this line. That worries me. I’m SICK AND TIRED of our seasons ending in October, which is why I called for a draft-down and a legitimate LT. I’ll support whoever we drafted, that’s not the point. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Cable made nice progress with the line last year. But it’s not the typical power Raider O-line. Because O=line play is so choreographed, maybe he feels comfortable with this group and the work they’ve done together.
But Harris’s sacks allowed in not impressive during his career so far.
June 30th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
If youre backs cant get you 1 stinkin yard,you dont deserve 2 win.True the wrong call was made on 3rd down.Lets say Kiff calls a pass play on 3rd down,converts,well than we got 4 more downs or score.In that situation as coach I could say I went 4 it,it didnt work out.Field goal unit get out there,take 3pts.You cant we would have won 13-12 but it would have taken the goose-egg off the board and maybe changed momentum,and we all know about MO!!!

Sure Immodest. I’ll try. Basically, and everyone is the organization is in agreement on this, the org felt the defense played fairly well. Not great, but fairly well. What the thinking is if we can ball control more, keep the defense off the field and REALLY establish a running game, even tho we had a good one last year, that would take huge pressure off both the defense and the passing game this year. Hence picking McFadden.
The issue with Harris is while his pass blocking is certainly circumspect, no one can deny his run blocking. In other words we are REALLY gonna run it at opponents this year. With defenses looking to stop the run, that will help both Jam and Kwame. Oh and did I mention we have an absolute 245 lb stud in Mike Bush just waiting to smash someone’s face in???
Now, if the Raiders get behind 30-3 in the first half of a game, we’re gonna be in trouble, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen too often.

That’s why I worry about Lane Kiffin, if it’s his nature or lack of experience. You cannot have a good offensive football team without the ability or will to have Quarterbacks throw to Wide Recievers
Running the ball and dinking to Running Backs will Not get it done.

Sprinkler is fixed…life is gooood.
June 30th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Koolkell and others concerned about our ability to throw deep. It seems quite evident that the Raiders have made a concerted effort to resolve that. This offseason I think we added some outside speed in FA and in the draft. Maybe I’m missing something here but worrying about eight in the box seems a little unnecessary.
Why did we get Todd Watkins? Walker, Carter, Shields and others, just to allow some team to stack eight in the box and we’re stumped and confused as to what to do?……come on.
Having said that. I must admit that I hadn’t read many posts at all. So I’m sure someone else has made these obvious points.
June 30th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
dude glad to hear u got ur sprinkler fixed… time to blow a j LOL… and I aINT NO tree hugger pilgrim……
June 30th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
That link to breakout players, should show JaMarcus Russell somewhere in the top ten IMO. I can’t say when but I eel strongly that the offseason preparation. With the cameo appearances last season will pay dividends some point this season for Russell. My guess would be somewhere in the second half of the season. He will demonstrate the type talent and what sort of QB he’s capable of being. And start to perform at a high level more consistently.
The running game will carry us early and I think you’ll see us round into a more balanced attack as the season wears on. This has the potential to be at some point one of the more difficult attacks to contain in the NFL as Russell starts to settle in.
When I read comments that question our ability to attack opponents deep or stretch the field. I just don’t think those questioning understand Russell’s talent or what it takes to get that done.
No one and I mean NO ONE will stack 8 or 9 in the box against with any real success. If they do it, it will be at they’re own expense.
If there is one thing the Raiders will do this year it will be to get the ball down field effectively and successfully.

June 30th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
I don’t question Jmarc’s ability to stretch the field. I have doubts about Lane Kiffin’s playbook.
June 30th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
kk: i’m the opposite. I thought we should have picked up calvin johnson (who’s a beast) w/the 1st pick and chose the stanford dude who now starts for buffalo… trent…. or something.
Then we wouldn’t have p/u walker (i was against) and we’d have a west coast qb and a stud receiver to go w/our running game. I’m sure kiffin would want the same thing but al is al and is impressed by an 80 yard arm even though the WCO is quick hits with receivers busting it. Now that we don’t have any receivers… lets jr and throw a bomb…like brady did all year except w/o any receivers or a pass blocking line.
ct raider
what’s the buffalo qb name? he started half the games last year….didn’t hold out for an extra 4mil over what .. 6 years.. so he missed a whole year.
June 30th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
trent edwards!!!! and CJ/curry/miller and that running game… enough money left over to p/u Boldin… and sign namdi… wooo hooo.

June 30th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
I don’t know if Lane Kiffin and JaMarcus Russell is a good fit
June 30th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
kk: i agree. lk is a wco and jr will either have to show he’s a wco qb or they’ll have to go back to ANOTHER offense. AD needs to draft to coaches or pick coaches to the draft. he mixes.
ct raider
June 30th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
kiffin threw deep a lot at usc. i think his thought was he had margin of error by throwing bombs to big receivers. we have picked up all big receivers so that should help out a young qb (margin of error). and of course…. THE RUNNING GAME!!!
i’m counting on a good season! 9-14 at kc…here i come!
CT RAIDER
June 30th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I’m not sure I understand why you think his playbook is a problem? His playcalling last year was based primarily on his wanting to cut down on sacks, t/o’s and negative plays. He had to biuld confidence in this teams ability to execute. We really didn’t attack anyone by design. Which is your reason for concern I suppose. But this is a very different team from the one we fielded last year.
I gaurantee you we will set up big plays with the short stuff. He’s not going to just throw caution to the wind and force things. But we will make defenses cover the entire field this year.
Trust me his playbook as well as playcalling is no different than anyone else’s. It’s how he will use it. But we will attack deep without question.
BTW you’ll see, Russell and Kiffin may have their differences but it’s a great fit. He will develope this kid properly.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Why does everyone think we run a WCO? The offense is just offense and has very little if anything to do with the WCO.
Why does everything have to be the WCO if it has short and intermediate pass plays?
I’m not sure what offense we run but it aint the WCO. that’s for sure.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
bhp: i’m on board and i’m remaining positive! i invited a gb fan over last year for the game. I took sooo much ridicule when they showed jr all bundled up on the sideline. i wish they didn’t activate him that game and left him in cal. it was sooo embarrassing!
CT RAIDER
June 30th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Kiffins playcalling reminded me of Grudens last year. I understand the QB situation was weak. But if you want to make an omlette, you have to break eggs.
The QB’s primary function is to get the ball to Wide Recievers.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
kk: correct.. it’s to manage the game. like malcom x said, “by any means necessary” if that means an extra huh huh to get a man off sides.. if it’s a qb run on 3-3, in a tight game or if it’s to dump the ball. his job is to not have negative plays and keep pressure on the d. if we can’t stop the run then his job will be to chew up time as well.. and score 6s not 3s.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Yeah KK, it did look like boring but you had to know why. He had no confidence in ur ability to get the ball to WR’s consistently. Especially deep, I doubt that will be the case this year.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
But Kiffin doesn’t want t/o’s either so they will be very smart in the approach to the verticle game you and I love to see.
Defensive coord’s must fear our ability to put points up quickly, forcing them to play us honest.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I hear ya’ll, but coaches are stubborn, we’ll see, because of the QB situation last year, I give him the benefit of the doubt. But Chuckey even with a All-Pro QB ran only 5 yd crossing routes. In order to strectch the field and have a credible offense you have to get the ball to your wide recievers.
Later guys.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
If you remember that pass to Porter vs SD in the endzone by Russell was a direct response to the chargers playing the run and stacking the box, leaving Cromartie in man.
The results Touchdown Raiders!!!

Oakglenn: I see one hole in your theory.
IIM, clearly as Blackhole Priest and others have pointed out, you want to run a “balanced” attack. In other words, knowing the Raiders want to smash the rock, lst and ten, lst play, what if Jam rolls right, and throws a ten yard completion to Miller. You’re the defensive coordinator. Now what do you do?? Stack the box?? If you do, as BHP and Florida Pete have said, there’s gonna be some passing. If you back off, Dmac is toting the rock. In the immortal words of former NFL QB Ron Jaworksi, you wanna die fast, or you wanna die slow??
On a different subject, Knowing MR is white, if anyone took exception or offense to me saying what’s wrong MR, whitey keeping you down, please, accept my heartfelt apologies. Just having some fun.

Gave props to Fields for being first in the weightroom at the Rookie Symposium this morning. Said he came in a little after 5 AM.
Also said Mike Williams showed up for Titans camp after losing 30 lbs! Only problem is he still weighed 240lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s right folks. That means when Williams played for the Raiders last season, he weighed close to 270!
This is a freakin WR we are talking about.
Rich Eison said he should have played on our offensive line. LOL!

Vegas Raider, the phrase “reverse racism” is racist because only white people can claim it. So run along, racist. And, yes, McCain’s only prayer is that more white people are afraid of a black president than they are inspired by Obama. According to the polls, no luck. Race relations are starting to improve, and Obama’s playing a major part in that. That’s good for America, but, of course, bad for the McCain campaign. And make no mistake, they’ll do whatever they can to change it. Won’t work, though. McCain’s just a bad candidate. He can’t sell it. Too funny looking. Hey, that shouldn’t matter, but this is America and in this country, how you look on the tv screen is who you are. And in that regard, McCain can’t hold a candle to Obama.

If Jerry was here Im sure there would be a thread on Sapps comments.
FYI…Rod Brooks who was on the Raider sidelines for a few years said yesterday on KNBR that he never saw the things Sapp alleged.
July 1st, 2008 at 7:56 am
Here’s what Sapp said:
“As dark as a black hole. Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn’t go on in sports. I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let’s just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.”
You can guess who’s making those calls. If you’re clueless, here’s former Raider employee Mike Lombardi writing for SI.com:
“Having worked in that “black hole” for eight years, I know exactly what Warren is talking about. And those calls to the sideline are from one man and one man only. At times I have been the reluctant messenger on a few of them myself. They are never pleasant.”

Walker will be fine, I read they operated on his jaw and the orbital bone damage was just a fracture instead of crushed like what Romo did to Williams.
July 1st, 2008 at 8:02 am
Sapp is bitter because he sucks as a player now and is trying take out his frustration. He’s got to find something to talk about to get a job in the media. If Al were on the phone all the time why has he never been photographed talking on a phone from his booth over the last 4 decades? Because it doesn’t happen.
July 1st, 2008 at 8:08 am
You can call Sapp overated, lazy, etc.etc…but he tells it like it is…
July 1st, 2008 at 8:10 am
Then why are there players that say they have never seen what Sapp is talking about? Was he looking for phone calls while out on the feild playing defense is a better question to ask.
July 1st, 2008 at 8:15 am
No players have stated this…Rod Brooks is a sideline reporter…
Sapp isn’t the first player to criticize the organization…
Breshnahan did it. Moss did it. Rhodes did it. Washington did it. Sweighert did it. Sapp did it.
As Kiffin stated this year – “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”
July 1st, 2008 at 8:16 am
And Lombardi just mentioned it…
July 1st, 2008 at 8:21 am
I THINK THAT IT IS TRUE.. AS MUCH AS SOME OF YOU B!TCH ABOUT BIG AL AND THAT YOU WISH HE WERE TO DIE SO THAT THIS ORGANIZATION COULD BE RUN DIFFERENT AND NOT JUST BY AL AND ALL HIS LIVER SPOTS. YOU ALL HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT IF STUFF IS NOT GOING RIGHT DURING THE GAME THAT AL IS MAKING A CALL. AL RUNS EVERYTHING WE ALL KNOW THAT. SAPP IS JUST SPEAKING OUT, AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
July 1st, 2008 at 8:25 am
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING; I CANT HEAR YOUUUUU!!!!!!111
July 1st, 2008 at 8:26 am
I can see Al calling Lombardi because he has nothing to do with gameday activities and asking him why he hand picked all the bums playing for Davis’s Raiders over the last 5 years, but as you can clearly see Lombardi is gone now and so are the players he supported. Thats why Davis chose Kiffin to coach was to rebuild the roster Lombardi built and cut out the middle man. I think Kiffin is doing a good job too. Denver has their hands full in week one even if Russell gets off to a shakey start. I think it will be a close game with the Raiders pulling away and winning with a strong running game in the fourth quarter. Kiffin should have beaten Shanny the first time around and but won his next opportunity.
July 1st, 2008 at 8:43 am
Sapp is the kind of dude whose prone to exaggerate a little while speaking, however, this team needs to quit screwing around. Let the freaking coaches coach, let the players play, enough of enough is enough…time to get back to what’s most important, which is winning games
July 1st, 2008 at 8:43 am
Well you never see Kiffin talking on a phone during a game to Davis do you? They got camera’s everywhere during a game and always have one on Davis and the coaches yet the only ones talking are the coaches. Sapp is just stirring up b.s. to promote himself.
July 1st, 2008 at 8:56 am
Johnny Rebel;on this one I disagree with you.I say when the donkeys come 2 town,we slaughter them.5 YEARS of bullshiot will be taken out on them and Shiotarat.It will be so totally brutal that there wont be anything left 4 the glue factory!!!Then its off 2 kc 2 rape and pillage the squaws,ufck the squaws!!!Then its open season on buffylows,then backhome 2 chockers,ufck the chockers.Then a well deserved break.GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 1st, 2008 at 9:08 am
I’m not so sure we gonna steamroll anybody…
especially not the donkys or the Jills…I think we gonna start okay, and as a slow big snowball we gonna get momentum and self esteem…
The 2 Playoff sleepers in my book are Bills and Texans, we gonna meet both!

July 1st, 2008 at 9:42 am
donkeys are in disarray,they wont have #1 reciever.squaws just plain suck,jills will b tough imo.chockers are on down side but will still be formidable.Is it just me or do others feel there is something sooo big so awesome that we are about 2 see? True we have not addressed all our needs but Ive allways said a great running attack oppertunistic defence will get you far.I believe we have both and then some

Steve Mariucci has not ruled out returning to the head coaching ranks again some day.
But much to the chagrin of Green Bay Packers fans or Yoopers hoping to see the Iron Mountain native nicknamed “Mooch” return home, his return would likely be in northern California.
“The right situation may never present itself again,” Mariucci said, “because we’ve decided as a family not to move anymore. We are back in northern California in our home and we settled back in. I’ve moved my wife 18 times, and I don’t want to move again, nor does she. Our home base is going to be in the Bay Area. It’s that simple.
“For me to coach again, it either has to be on the West Coast or I would have to commute.”
July 1st, 2008 at 10:02 am
4eva…
well we haven’t got our #1 receiver either, and its a new crew… I still see donkeys as better set for teh first game, where as I think we will dominate the late return game.. because at that time our are gelled..

Rebel, Obama doesn’t make me horny. Don’t swing that way. But I haven’t talked to one woman who doesn’t find Obama attractive, liberal or conservative, so you obviously have no clue when you’re suggesting he’s funny looking, or whatever.
July 1st, 2008 at 10:21 am
Talk about ghoulish looking…John McCain looks like every deformed t.v. character in history rolled into one. Shilling for that Republican party puts some years on you, that’s for sure… He was actually a young, sharp looking guy when he got back from ‘Nam. So that wasn’t it.
July 1st, 2008 at 10:26 am
Johnny Rebel, you ducked my question yesterday, buddy. What one, single, individual person is more responsible than Al Davis for our 61 losses in the past 5 years?
July 1st, 2008 at 10:36 am
Mike Lombardi of SI, today:
‘• In an interview with the St. Petersburg Times, Warren Sapp gave a vivid description of his time with the Raiders: “As dark as a black hole,” he said. “Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn’t go on in sports. I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let’s just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.” Having worked in that “black hole” for eight years, I know exactly what Warren is talking about. And those calls to the sideline are from one man and one man only. At times I have been the reluctant messenger on a few of them myself. They are never pleasant.’

July 1st, 2008 at 10:40 am
So, now we’ve got Sapp and Lombardi telling the same exact…”lie”. Liars, I tell ya…
July 1st, 2008 at 10:43 am
Mr: While you may be right that “McCain’s only prayer is that more white people are afraid of a black president than they are inspired by Obama” I am holding out hope that the American voting population is a little more credible than that. I am no fan of McCain, the whole two party system is a joke IMO, but just because I don’t like Obama doesn’t make me a racist. Just like if you don’t support the war doesn’t mean you hate the troops
July 1st, 2008 at 10:43 am
LMN,donkeys dont have any proven RBs.When we take a 10-14 point lead Cutlers gonna chock and when he does Nnamdi gonna be there and so is Hall.I can see at least 1 TD by our corners.I now I sound optimistic but I cant help it.Ifeel like were gonna suprise alot of teams and people
July 1st, 2008 at 10:48 am
You know what’s funny?
Why won’t the Davis loyals just admit that he meddles? I mean, on one hand, they brag about his supposed knowledge of the game. In that regard, considering that were actually true, I mean, what would be wrong with him meddling? But when a story breaks of him meddling, or when two former employees give the exact same account of his meddling, as Sapp and Lombardi just have, these guys all of a sudden go on the defensive and suggest that Al Davis would never do such a thing. I mean, let’s play devil’s advocate here, why not? He’s all knowing, isn’t he? Surely Al Davis knows more about the game then two nit wits like Mike Lombardi or Lane Kiffin, or even Jon Gruden, right? These guys are bunch of kids who could kiss Al’s pinky ring, right? So therefore, what would be wrong with him meddling? Yet, you guys will never fess to him doing it when the accusation of his meddling arises. I don’t get that. Make up your minds. Is Al Davis the most knowledgeable owner in the game, or is he just like the other suits, minding his own business and letting others run his team?
Let’s take a stand here once and for all, Davis loyals.
July 1st, 2008 at 10:58 am
Vegas Raider, I dunno. The term “reverse racist”, which you used yesterday, is usually thrown around by these white people with bottled up racist views. I mean, only a white person can claim “reverse racism”. So the phrase in and of itself is racist. Why does racism have to have some special name when done against whites? You’ll never admit to it, but I think at least part of the reason you wouldn’t vote for Obama is because you have a problem with black people. And, McCain certainly needs you guys. But I don’t think there’s enough of you. At least that’s what the polls are indicating.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:21 am
Al Davis “meddles” with the Raiders??? And this is news???????????? Hey everyone: it’s HIS Effing Team!!!!! He can drive it off a freaking cliff if he wants!!! This is America. It’s a free freaking country. If You don’t like the Raiders, or If You don’t like Davis, or if you don’t like the colours silver and black, you can go follow the Broncos or the Whiners or any other team or go take a walk in the park. Hell go follow the New York Yankees. Lord knows Steinbrenner never “meddles”.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:21 am
Mike Lombardi.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:21 am
MR yes al davis is the most knowledgeable owner in the game.I dont think when you say meddle,hes coaching from the box.I do think week in and week out he will have things to add or offer up 2 his coaches 2 look 4 but AD lets them make the game time calls.But I never played 4 him so I dont have first hand knowledge like some in here do.Also if AD meddles he has every right 2,afterall he IS the most knowledgeable owner 2 ever be in the game

No good looking women ever say anything about Obama unless they are coached to.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:29 am
So, 4evaRaider, Sapp and Lombardi could very well be telling the truth then, right? “If” he meddles. That’s what you said. So then, why are so many Davis loyalists on the defensive right now, suggesting Al doesn’t meddle? What would be their problem if he did? That’s all I’m wondering.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:30 am
Rebel, I talk to women about politics all of the time and I haven’t heard one yet say that Obama isn’t attractive, women of all political affiliations and all ranges on the looks scale. Besides, it’s not like ugly women don’t know what a good looking guy looks like. I mean, you know what a good looking woman looks like, right? Same scenario.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:33 am
Seriously how much meddling can a 90 year old man do between naps?
July 1st, 2008 at 11:33 am
I know Obama’s wife is not good looking. That about sums it up.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:35 am
MR quit trying to hide your homosexual tendencies.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:35 am
McCain’s wife on the other hand is attractive and her family owns Budweiser. Go figure.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:36 am
Uh oh, now Rebel’s going to go off on an Oakglenn tangent and tell us he “pulls chicks”, too. Every time we accuse someone in here of being unattractive, we seem to get that in response. Let it go, Johnny Rebel. I was joking. I’m sure you’re a pimp, just like Oakglenn. I mean, doesn’t it show?
July 1st, 2008 at 11:36 am
Obama’s wife is ugly but not as ugly as Barbara Bush the Oatmeal lady.
Now Jackie “O” was a hot First Lady
July 1st, 2008 at 11:37 am
Davis likes to show recievers how to run routes in his turbo charged wheelchair.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:37 am
Johnny Rebel yes she is attractive if you like 60 year old women!
Better have some lube handy Johnny Rebel!
July 1st, 2008 at 11:39 am
Pull chicks? I am happily married to a knock out wife, what about you MR, going back to the gay parade next year? I noticed you did not post Sunday until after it was over.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:40 am
“knock out wife”
Does that mean he beats her?
July 1st, 2008 at 11:40 am
She is more attractive than Obama’s wife even if she is 60.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:41 am
Obama’s wife is no supermodel, but she’s not bad, either. She looks a bit too angry. Honestly, I think McCain’s wife looks better, too. She’s the only good thing he’s got going for her, although she does strike me as an airhead. But that won’t change the dynamics of this election. McCain’s only prayer is good old fashion racism. And it doesn’t seem to be getting traction. And, regardless of what you think of Obama, it’s well documented that he is far more charismatic than McCain is. And, again, I haven’t met a woman yet, of any political affiliation, who doesn’t think he’s attractive. McCain, on the other hand? Haven’t meat a woman yet, of any political affiliation, who thinks he is.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:41 am
MR just can’t get any, thats why he whines about women so much in here.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:44 am
They cant all be as good looking as Bill Clinton and JFK.
McCain looks like he was held hostage in a foreign country. Oops he was
July 1st, 2008 at 11:46 am
MR resorted to farm animals years ago he gave up on humans ever wanting to interact with him.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:47 am
Now that be funny right there:)
July 1st, 2008 at 11:48 am
Also, McCain ditched his first wife for his current one. His original wife was there for him all through the POW ordeal. She’s the one who met him with open arms at his return…but she had been disfigured in a car accident while he was on duty. He dumped her, and later married Cindy. This is something that will not resonate well with women voters. It hasn’t been much of an issue, because Obama is keeping his promise to keep the wives and families out of the campaign. But let McCain, or any of his sneaky political action groups that claim to not be affiliated with him, start going after Michelle or any of Barack’s immediate family, and the story of the two Mrs. McCains’ will be stamped on John McCain’s forehead until November. Count on it.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:49 am
when we are left with posting about MR’s sexual preferences and how good looking the presidential candidates are we are truly in need of some more Raider news!!!

“the two Mrs. McCains’ will be stamped on John McCain’s forehead”

July 1st, 2008 at 11:52 am
Yeah McCain ran women so what? But they like him because he is for abortion. Obama is a flip flopper you will see. They both come from the same establishment already in place. Neither one of them will change a thing. Obama’s downfall might be telling small business owners they must provide health insurance for their employee’s when they can’t afford the coverage.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:52 am
I don’t know anything about sex with farm animals, Silver Nblack666, nor even sex with human beings that might resemble farm animals. But Cindy McCain does.

MR..are you still trying to figure out how to meet chicks..or your term pull chicks..first you must do is leave your chair and keyboard..then talk about something chicks are interested in..dont bring up davis or politics or racisim..smile..they will see you as being happy..im only 19 and you need personal coaching..you sound very old and unhappy..go and pull,man..i understand you dont believe me..you lie so much you cant believe anybody..just go out and talk to chicks..even you may find your match..
July 1st, 2008 at 11:54 am
I hate how the media always talks about how Kiffin maybe on his way out.
Truth be told any NFL coach is always one season away from being fired. Typical spin doctors and rumor mongers that cant find anything else to write about. Journalism today has eroded to the point of fence gossip.
Long Live Kiffin!!!!!

July 1st, 2008 at 11:55 am
Rebel, if the story of the two Mrs. McCain’s breaks wide, McCain will lose by a landslide. There’s going to be a record number of female voters in this election and that story will kill him. It’s already out, it’s just not being spotlighted because the Obama camp is sticking to their promise of keeping families out of it. They don’t need it, anyway. They’re beating him just fine with the story buried. But let McCain get desperate and start going after Obama’s family, and the Obama camp will drop the boom on him and make sure the tale of the two Mrs. McCains is fresh in every female voter’s mind on election day.

July 1st, 2008 at 11:59 am
MR gets under my skin…welcome back!
Let me get you up to speed.
Marley’s been on a milk carton since I pointed out his flip flop on Sapp’s comments. Not a peep from him. Is he done here? Is he posting under other names? Never thought he would, but who knows? I really pulled his mask of with that Sapp thing, so he has to be a little embarrassed. Claimed that Sapp was talking about Norv Turner at first, then claimed Sapp was lying. I asked him which was true. He still hasn’t answered. Shame, shame, Bob.
Anyhow, now we’ve got Johnny Rebel and Satan666 in here telling me I’m gay and I can’t pull chicks, because, only a homo would defend Obama. And, I’m sure these guys are just pimps. And, even though Johnny Rebel is married, I’m sure young, hot, 21 year old girls are flirting with him all of the time, really wanting him. I’m sure the reason he’s faithful to his wife is by choice…I mean, can’t we all tell?

MR calm down there is no way McCain will win the election with Bush having a 32% approval rating and he is running on the same platform of 8 more years of lies, tierney and the abatement of civil rights.
Its going to be a landslide anyway with or without the deformed wife story.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:02 pm
I liked her rant, too, Rebel. She hit the nail on the head. Call it racist all you want. She spoke the truth, and it didn’t hurt Obama at all. That’s old news, been recycled by the mainstream media more than Anna Nicole’s death. Did no damage to Obama, whatsoever. Hillary was the one behind that, putting Barack on blast over race. She failed. McCain isn’t even going there because he knows Obama will pull his bigger artillery if he does. He’s just hoping white Americans will vote white. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:04 pm

Slightly, like 1 or 2 points? Sure. I can imagine Hillary doing better in states that McCain would win anyway. But Obama is every bit as much of the candidate she was, and more. McCain is an awful candidate, so it doesn’t matter. This thing is already over.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Thanks Oakglenn I would like to follow up on your earlier comment on the election.
I would like to know your (straight guy) opinion on gay marriages and then a rebuttal from the other side (MR)
July 1st, 2008 at 12:26 pm
OK well fine you did finally admit it.
You are correct there will be a change in administration this Fall and it would have been either Hillary or Obama now it is Obama and he is s very strong candidate.
Can you say landslide…

July 1st, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Well, a guy who watched “the Ladies man” for tips on how to get women certainly would know if someone is gay…

July 1st, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Satan, Hillary’s out. It’s over. The division tactic between Hillary and Obama is old news. You had months to beat that drum. It’s over. Obama is the better candidate. Hillary threw the “kitchen sink” at him with the race thing, and he stood tall. If he were white, he would have won by March. Obama will beat McCain as easily as Hillary would, if not more easily.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:31 pm
LMAO you mean 1971
and I meant infatuated.
Who is dumber the guy who made the typo or the guy who couldn’t point it out without making a lame brain mistake himself.

In Denmark, civil unions with the same rights as marriage have been around since 1989, and other Nordic countries followed suit in the 1990s.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:32 pm
McCain is infactuated with Iran.
Al Davis is infactuated with 40-yard dash times.
Just win baby.

So whaddya say MR?? You and me against the conservative world?? We take on all comers??? Oakglenn and MaddenRaider on the same team???? wheeew. Armaggeadon must be approaching.
666, there’s my personal opinion on gay marraige, my legal and political opinion on gay marraige and then there’s this opinion that I am gonna espouse right now. The gay marraige issue is designed to confuse the populace as to the more pressing problems in this country which include the education, health care, economic, and foreign policy directions this country needs to take. Once all of those issues are headed in the right direction, I will be more than happy to prioritize and discuss the gay marraige issue.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:35 pm
LMN, was that you in the local Copenhagen news? (post 1959)
July 1st, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Nothing wrong with gay marriage…but once you morally bankrupt liberals decide to legalize bestiality I am moving out of the US.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:39 pm
FYI- I just read good news on the net a couple days ago. Randy Cotoure’s wife just fought in a cage fighting match and had here jaw broken in two or three places. She said they have a new procedure for fixing broken jaws. They don’t wire shut all the time. They place titanium inside to hold the jaw togethor. This helps the persons jaw be stronger and the healing time is half as long as normal. Hopefully with the money Javon has, he hears about this new procedure!

Very Nice…Well put!!!
We have Millions of hungry people right here in America and yet we spend Billions of dollars on stuff like space exploration.
We are the richest country in the world yet most of us don’t have health insurance.
We used to be an entrepreneurial country and now we are dependent on foreign oil.
In the 1800’s the British put to high of a tax on Maple syrup (used to make whiskey) so what did we do as Americans we then made whiskey our of corn.
The same should be said for energy consumption.

Don’t worry, we will break new frontiers once again…soon Californians will be pushing the right to practice bestiality…
I know Europeans already hump their animals, but it is still widely frowned upon in the US.

When it comes to health care, vital infrastructure, regulation of drugs/food/pollution, and guns, Republicans want SMALL government.
When it comes to abortion, defense spending, death penalty, drugs, and gay mairraige, the Republicans want a BIG government.
Hypocrits!

July 1st, 2008 at 1:32 pm
ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 1 (UPI) — Americans may be used to being No. 1 in many things, but when it comes happiness the United States ranks No. 16, a survey indicates.
The World Values Survey, the work of a global network of social scientists, says happiness increased from 1981 to 2007 in 45 of 52 countries.
“Rich is better than poor, but more importantly being free — being in a democracy — as well as gender equality and tolerance of minorities were the key factors to happiness,” study director Ronald Inglehart of the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, told United Press International. “The most important determinant of happiness is the extent to which people have free choice in how to live their lives.”
Denmark tops the list of surveyed nations, along with Puerto Rico and Colombia. A dozen other countries, including Ireland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada and Sweden also rank above the United States. Three of the world’s poorer countries with long histories of repressive government — Moldova, Armenia and Zimbabwe — are at the bottom of the list.
The survey, published in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science, had a representative sample of about 1,400 in each country and the margin of error of 3 percentage points to 5 percentage points.

—”Scout.com’s Adam Caplan reports that the Patriots released Willie Andrews. This hasn’t been confirmed elsewhere just yet, but it was expected after Andrews’ latest gun-related arrest. The third-year pro was no lock to make the roster after failing to develop at cornerback. He’s a fine returner.”—

“As dark as a black hole. Stuff went on in that organization that shouldn’t go on in sports. I don’t think there’s one person who knows who or what is making the call. Let’s just say the Oakland experience is unique. The phone rings quite a bit on that sideline. Insubordination is grounds for termination in any company.”
July 1st, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Vegas, the “actual racism” that is out there is the closet racism people like you suffer from. It enables what’s left of the damaging racism that police and property owners still engage in frequently. Tell your black wife I said hello. You wouldn’t be the first racist to have sex with black women, Vegas. Most slave owners did. What’s the point of bringing your wife into this?

You can guess who’s making those calls. If you’re clueless, here’s former Raider employee Mike Lombardi writing for SI.com:
“Having worked in that “black hole” for eight years, I know exactly what Warren is talking about. And those calls to the sideline are from one man and one man only. At times I have been the reluctant messenger on a few of them myself. They are never pleasant

July 1st, 2008 at 2:08 pm
As I was once told, there’s a reason why the Raiders rarely blitz on defense.
Best case: Davis’ calls provide insight that help. But with all that goes on during a game, no coach wants to worry about taking a message from the owner during a game
The practice only reminds players their coach really has no say. And there are players that view Raiders coaches as puppets.
