Woodson: Al could use help
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, May 28th, 2009 at 3:39 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Had a chance to talk with Rod Woodson today for a project down the road and got his thoughts on the current state of the Raiders.
As a studio analyst for NFL Network, Woodson has refrained from making cheap jokes at the Raiders expense and has hope the team can mobilize its young talent and turn things around.
He does think it would be beneficial for Al Davis to find someone he trusts to help run the football operation.
“I think a football mind has to come in with Al, somewhere,” Woodson said. “You need a football mind to help facilitate the ideas that he has . . . he’s the only gentleman ever to be a coach, a commissioner and an owner. Ever. So his knowledge is vast. I just think there has to be somebody up there with him because it will never get down to the players.
“There are some good players there. Some of his hires have no been the wisest. Schematically you’ve got to have something, but what you need is a leader. Your head coach doesn’t have to be an offensive or defensive genius. You need a guy who can lead 53 men and (have them) buy into what he’s selling on a weekly basis.”
Toward that end, Woodson thinks Tom Cable is on the right track in terms of his desire to run the ball effectively but concedes JaMarcus Russell is “an unknown with a lot of potential” at quarterback.
Woodson, a hurdler in college at Purdue, did think the Raider infatuation with 40-yard dash times at the expense of football skill is sometimes a problem.
“You’ve got to find a football player who runs track, you can’t find a track athlete that plays football,” Woodson said. “It’ different. It doesn’t equate. Football is played on the ground, track is off the ground. The faster you are, the less time you spend on the ground. You can’t be in the air in football. You’ll get knocked out. Football is played grounded. That’s why I think they have some issues sometimes when they get those fast guys.”

This is one of the only guy’s that I respect out there. Because he’s objective, with no ax to grind.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
I hope the day comes he starts delegating his responsibilities
May 28th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Hello Rod, where have I heard that before????????????

Your endorsement, I’m sure means everything to his career.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Sounds good. I wish Al would hire Woodson as GM…
May 28th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
I’d love to know which hires he thinks aren’t the “wisest”. Sure, we all have our opinions but someone on the inside like that would be interesting to hear from.

Art Shell
Lane Kiffin
Joe Bugel
Tom Walsh
May 28th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
just the fact that AL Davis talked to Bobby Petrino was a problem
May 28th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Thanks for the obvious ones, KK, that’s not exactly what I meant. I’d be curious about the inner working stuff, but we’ll never really know.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Oh snap!
May 28th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
2009 AFC West Champs-thats us
May 28th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
“Yes, unlike Stabler, Russell hasn’t had four Hall of Famers on his side of the ball, or even any Pro Bowlers.
“I’m the last one to tell somebody about work ethic,” Stabler said. “On the field, I worked hard and understood the system. … It was old school, simple football – just go play.”
May 28th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
I hope so 4evaRaider, but it looks more like we will be AFC West Chumps again in 2009.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I always thought Kenny led by example,he was a winner and we all won because of it.Fine example of work-ethic,he got it done
May 28th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Man with our RB’s and if we can play some D there is no reason we cant take da West,imo
May 28th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Woodson isn’t saying anything all the so-called haters have been saying.
Al needs help
Scheme matters in coaching (Tom Walsh) a nd players (D Hall).
Al hires “blindly”
Track speed doesn’t make for great football players
Even the people respectful of Al like Woodson can see the obvious. Only the clueless Al apologists don’t get reality.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Al’s philosophy is simple.
Bigger faster guys should have an edge.
Power of the old Yankees, speed of the Dodgers or sumthin like that.
His backwards attack and approach to the gaem is genius and should work, but the problem with genius, is those that aren’t may not understand it.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Al just replaced his football guy with someone I’m sure he “trusts”.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Bigger, Faster. And discounts the Human Element.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Isn’t Al on record as saying he doesn’t believe in Team Chemistry?

So…it’s everyone else’s fault that Al’s approach doesn’t work? I really hope you’re kidding.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Former Raiders assistant coach Keith Rowen has taken on a more prominent role since he arrived last season and that likely played a huge part in Snead calling it quits in Oakland.
Rowen is said to have Davis’ ear more and more each day and playing a pivotal role in the shaping of the roster
AL`s unofficial GM
May 28th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Whatever is said by a respected, respectful and uncompromised man, Rod Woodson and a blog opinionator JerryMc, will here be turned to the same crap. Woodson honestly says AD needs someone to trust as a help to mine his depth of experience. JMc disses on the DHB hire. Result? Dumping on Al continues. Man, you would think that the Raider Godfather has personally ruined some lives in here. Foreclosed on their homes, imprisoned their children, spiked their drinks with GHB, taken away their healthcare…what exactly is the problem? Oh yeah, some of you believe that you love the Raiders more than he and would know exactly what would make the franchise better today. Go for it.

Rod Woodson is the man. One of the very few smart and classy ex-players on TV. Nothing like Sapp, Deion, Schlereth, etc. who are just loudmouth jackazzes.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
The Raiders and Mr. Davis are taking a beating in the media these days and its gotten to the point of piling on. I mean when you look at other franchises where is the destructive criticism on them some haven’t even sniffed a super bowl never mind actually play in one. The great ones can play in any era, would Ted Williams be a great hitter today. Would Wilt Chamberlain be a force in today’s NBA. Mr. Davis was a great owner early in his career and he still is a great owner despite the current situation. Mr. Davis is guilty of not being patient the last 6 years and not playing it safe. I think it goes to his problem with death and his age. The fact remains you don’t do something well and then all of a sudden you don’t know what you are doing. As Raider fans we know the organization is under attack by the NFL press. You know they have had it out for us for the past 40 years don’t fall for this crap Al Davis doesn’t know what he is doing. The guys on a cold streak no doubt about it, and winning is the only thing that’s going to change that. I read Peter King week in and week out dump on the organization and I ask my self why? I read how our 23 year old QB is all washed up and cant play because he doesn’t do this or that. I say the hell with them all where getting back to the super bowl, we have the players, the coach and Mr. Davis. The thing you have to ask your self are you going to stick it out with Mr. Davis and have his back, or are you going to listen to all the crap from everyone who doesn’t want us to be good and win. otnom@netscap.net Boston MA

Al’s record as GM over the last 20 years is sub.500!
May 28th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
20 YEARS OF SUB-.500 FOOTBALL!
May 28th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
DHB is a football player w/ lots to talent. You guys just don’t know the kinda of potential you’re getting here. Speed, Size, Separation, Hands …what else do you want from a WR? PROTO-TYPICAL. Just give him some time. Don’t expect fireworks Y1, esp when the other WRs are truly question marks (only a little less than he is).
JR, DMC, MB, DHB, ZM ..call me when the camaras turn on! …who would’ve imagined Oakland would’ve been stocked w/ such talents?
May 28th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
damn right ..& I’m gettin tired of the BS ..tired of watchin the loosin’
Defense all talk – PROVE IT!
Offense – A BUNCH OF CONFUSED GIRLS!
**Prob not their fault though …lack on good coaching consistency and poor recruitment.

That is officaly the dumbest thing EVER said on this blog

How so? Can you honestly deny that the Raiders would be better by default the moment that slug penetrated his brain?
==========================================
Who will run the team ???Mark dont think so…Amy maybe…
all i am saying is we will never have anyone running this team that has the passion for the team that he does…has he made mistakes..you bet. but who among us hasnt??? i feel he want to win so bad all the time he doesnt want to buld a team he want one RIGHT NOW and imo that clouds his judgement
_______________________________________________________________
Anyone with a fully functioning brain could do a better job than Al. How? By letting the football minds, something Al is not, handle personnel. Add to that the fact that someone who is actually willing to pay a fair wage to coaches, and we might even be able to find a decent head coach for a change.
The simplicity of the solution is obvious to anyone willing to look for it.

So Crow tell me who in your opion would be better suited to run the RAIDERS then Al ? And anyone is not an answer
May 28th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
raiderforlife anybody could be good at something and get worse at it take playing football for example or driving or any job somebody does you get better with age to a certain extent but once you get old enough you get worse
May 28th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
r8rpaver charley casserly?
May 28th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
I can’t imagine the Raiders without Al!!
Win or lose, Al is the Raiders.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
16,
No way bro, he’s not that good.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
I think its easy slamming Al Davis, I chose to stand by him to the end. I know our record over the years. I think any true Raider fan would just not pile on at this stage. I have seen it all and its been hard and I know its been hard on him. He wants to win and win badly don’t you feel for him in that way? In 2 years from now when he is holding number 4 at least I can say it was me and AL to the end.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
OK 16..maybe i should have said, Who would run the RAIDERS with the same passion for the team as Al.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
And Me, 4eva, R8, and others too!!
Don’t forget about us!!
May 28th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Raiderforlife..im with you
May 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
O how was play time with your angel
May 28th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
I just don’t know if Sentimentality has any place in business, let alone a vicious game like football.
He’s just too old, that’s all.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
R8,
It was great!! She kicked me out a few times, but then she felt sorry for me and asked me to play again.
The 1st time she kicked me out was due to me cleaning the bird seeds from under the feeder. She likes to play with the seeds!!
The 2nd time was I cause I told her no about something. she didn’t like my answer, so she kicked me out again.
I love it.
Then we went to buy a few things ( toys), and just came back a few min ago.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
We also stopped at the park next door, so that she can play with the ducks.
It was a full day for her, and a great day for me. As you can tell!!
May 28th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Shoot i remember those days O.. now my angel is in the army getting ready to go to korea in augest.Enjoy it while it lasts
May 28th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
passion doesnt matter wins does you could have the most passion in the world for something and still suck at it and RaiderO he chose mario willams over reggie bust th same year we got michael huff and he probably would have fired rob ryan a few bottom 3 defenses ago
May 28th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
R8,
God bless her, and keep her safe.
I wanted a boy at 1st, and I still do.
If I get all girls, I would be happy too.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Then why are you a RAIDER fan 16 ?
May 28th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
O she has 4 older brothers..
May 28th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Plus, he wouldn’t hesitate in selling his fans out.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Wouldn’t it be nice if Al Davis gave 1/2 sheit about his fans?
May 28th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
R8,
That alone should keep her safe.
You have a nice family. Like I said before, I think you are good people.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:56 pm

I think Al cares fot his fans, in his own weird way.
What owner would go on National TV to explain his discion?!?
May 28th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Thank you O very much
May 28th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
I don’t care what people think about Al, but I like him.
I can understand their views, especially KK’s.
What GM would last after 6 Double digit loosing seasons??? Or a sub .500 record for the last 20 years??? No One!!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I like Al for a lot reasons.
1- when I win, I want to win my way. Winning is not everything!!! It’s your style!!!
I don’t want to be like the rest of the league, so does Al.
2- look at your team and it’s history, it’s full of controvercy. This is nothing knew to the Raiders or Al.
If you are not cheating, you are not trying!
Cheating is encouraged!
Just win baby!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Al pulled his team out of Oakland after 16 straight years of sellouts. Came back and sued the City for 1 Billion Dollars!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
New, sorry.
Just win baby stands for:
I don’t care what you do Mon- sat, just win on Sunday!!
I don’t care what you have to do on Sunday, just win baby!!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
KK,
Let’s not talk about those things!!
lol
May 28th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
So Raider O,
In a nutshell you would rather lose doing things the Raider way than win while doing things in a more modern rest of the NFL way??
May 28th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Raider O,
Let’s see clearly.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Dude,
Honestly, yes I do.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Dude,
I would rather win that way, but you didn’t ask me that.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
All im trying to say is ..Al is the RAIDERS and has been for 50 years, has he made mistakes? you bet..bad personel choices..yep..but he has 3 SB trophies..more then most teams in the NFL..i know sometimes i and we make bad dissions and choices in life no one is perfect not you, me or AL. you do what you think is best for your family , team whatever sometime it works out sometime it doesnt.I still want to know who will run the team when he is gone.But to say “shoot him in the face” and call yourself a RAIDERS fan..i dont get it
May 28th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
KK,
I think it’s different with fans from outside the ciity if Oak. Do you agree?
May 28th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Raider O, we are not the Pats.
Though I have to agree with you on the liking AL Davis for his approach to the game thing. Al’s well recorded comment of “I rather be right than consistent” is funny to me. Because if he was to be right all the time, then he’d be consistent. I think that’s what he meant by that comment by the way.
Anyway, the Raiders are who they are because of him, so to say you hate Al or anything like that doesn’t really make sense either. To me at least.
Does he need help now a days? You bet he does. But it must be hard for someone like him to admit to himself that he no longer has what it takes to run this franchise the right way anymore. However, that doesn’t take away from his knowledge and from what he has done for the AFL, NFL, and football in general.
AL Davis will go down in history as an icon for all the good, bad, and crazy he has done in his time.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
RaiderO,
Shocker!! You didnt answer the question. LOL!!
As far as wanting to “shoot Al in the face”, thats going a bit too far.I wouldnt want to harm the guy, I despise him and hope he steps down soon, but wishing harm on the old senile geezer isnt cool.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Good thing most of you so called Raider fans dont have season tickets,with a young team,the Raiders are about to turn things around,hope youre around for that!So,if youre a hater continue to CRY,wont matter anyway,cuz youre fluff,wont see MOST of you at the games,anyway!Continue on,MR DAVIS,been with you for the GREAT TIMES,with you and the BASE thru the last six years,RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
3 Super Bowl Trophies, the last in 1983, before most of you were born, the rest before you were fans, has nothing to do with NOW, or the last 20 years for that matter.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Gilbert,
How many years you been bangn the “about to turn it around” drum?
May 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Raider O
Yeah, I think local fans are more cynical, and I think the Old-Timers are more cynical.
We don’t see Al Davis as God. It’s a disservice to the Hall of Fame Players, Ron Wolf, John Madden etc.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
KK, I mean no disrespect or anything like that, but to say what Al Davis did 20+ years ago has nothing to do with today, would be like saying Hitler is cool now because WWII happened so long ago.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Al Davis is the sole reason this franchise is where it is. Period. End of story. If you REALLY wanted this team to win you would be screaming at the top of your lungs for Al to leave. All the enabler Raiders fans who still support the old goat are just part of the problem.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
EMRaider
What Al Davis did and Hitler did in life is history.
The Raider GM has a sub.500 record over the last 20 years, and counting. That’s relevant today.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Dude,
Read post #78 please.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Sorry bro, missed that. How could you possibly say your a Raider fan and not want them to win over everything else? You arent a Raider fan, your an Al Davis fan. To each his own I guess.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
So can anyone answer my question..Who will run the RAIDERS when Al is gone with the same passion to win and the same passion for the team that Al has ? And by the way KK what is relevent today is the last game played
May 28th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I see your point. And agree with your thought that Al Davis needs help, or to step down, but the way he’s talked about in this blog makes him sound like he is the worst thing that has ever happened to the Raiders. Considering he is the ONLY thing that has ever happened to the Raiders…from an owner perspective anyway…
The old man is just that, an old man. But he deserves a little more respect than what he’s given in this blog.
And let me say it again, I agree with all of you who think he needs help or to step down, but it is AL Davis who we are talking about here, and if he’s ever going to do such things, he’ll do it his way. He’ll go out winning.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
R8rpaver im a fan because the raiders are in oakland
May 28th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
What Rod said makes total sense. Al is wise beyond his years, and he has many of them, but he needs help “modernizing” the franchise and “facilitate the ideas he has” as Rod said. Seems about spot on to me.
And on a side-note I am totally stoked because the wife and I scored two (comped) tickets to see David Alan Grier tomorrow. Score!!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
HEY JUDE,I mean dude,how are ya?Six years and counting,young fella,I see the sun rising on the RAIDERS!!!Dont You? ps Also a SF Giants fan,havent won a title since they Headed West,but Im WAITING,HOW SWEET IT WILL BE! Hope I live that long,oh well,grand kids are here,catch you later! raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:50 pm

Your question implies, that the Raiders will vanish, once Al Davis retires. Competent Mgmt will have to be found. Right now the Mgmt is incompetent.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Dude he has won and WILL win again..does he need help you bet he does..but Al is the RAIDERS and the NFL will not be the same with him gone or the team for that matter
May 28th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Oh snap!!!!!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Snake is tweeting on the raiders twitter page. http://www.twitter.com/oakraiders oh snap!
May 28th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
KK thats my point..Mark has already said he didnt want the team so does that leave Amy ? will the team be better with her in charge ? I dont know thats why im asking..and not to arguee by the why…i dont know who will run the team when he is gone …because your going to have to pry it away from his cold fingers
May 28th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I thought Sports was all about winning.
Maybe Stabler should be our starting QB, for old times sake.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
shoot kk one can only dream…..a young snake back on the team..ohhh the good old days

But life was not the same in both cases you have to admit
May 28th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
The modern day Raiders are the running joke of the NFL. Chaos reigns and instability is the new way of life. Al Davis is the reason for this and I for one cant wait till his days are done in Raider land and someone with a shred of common sense and stability takes over. Al Davis does NOT care about winning. He cares only about proving the nay sayers wrong and doing things his way. He is the ultimate senile ego-maniac.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:21 pm

May 28th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Fans in Oak and near by areas like the Raiders because they are the home team. Fans like myself who never even visited Oak, like the Raiders due to their image and thars Al and his style.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Dude i have always said stability is the #1 reason for the RAIDERS demize the last 6 years..but can you sit there and say Al is not trying to but togeater a winning team …he is inpatient and whats to win NOW and not build a young team from the ground up..he is starting to do it now but you have to have stability in a coaching staff to keep 1 system in place for more then a year…Payton Manning wouldnt thrive with the RAIDERS no one will until you keep 1 HC and 1 system in place for more then a year.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Wheres the evidence that he is starting to do it?
May 28th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Raider O,
what team will you follow after Al dies?
May 28th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
I thought that with the login it was going to be somewhat monitored..I, personally, don’t care too much for the “Crow Says: May 28th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
“Shoot Al Davis in the face: Raiders are better.”"
May 28th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Yeah, according to Al, and his slogans, and his Imagemaking, that’s all the out of towners know.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
O im on one tonight…man i wish i could type with more then just 1 finger lol..but iv also finished a 6 pack and started the second one so things might get weird from here on out ..lol ..
May 28th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
R8paver,
There’s bee no stability of Coaching for over 20 years. Lo and behold, we have a new staff this year, my o my.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Russel,miller,bush,Dmac,JLH,Chaz,Henderson…do you want me to continue…your smarter then that…come on
May 28th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
kk i agree 100% we will never get back to glory until we have stability…never
May 28th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Ultimately its about superbowls..Andy Reid has been in Philly 11 years..one superbowl appearance (loss)..in same time we also have one appearance (loss)..Gruden and Tampa beat us in his first year there..continuity??
May 28th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Dude,
I hope the Raiders, IF they keep their style and image.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Why are you a Raider fan ? Are you an Oakland resident and root for the local team ? Is it because you like the uniforms ? Why do you root for the Raiders ?
I’ve been a fan of the Raiders since before the AFL/NFL merger. Never been to Oakland. I do like the uniforms. But that’s not the reason I became a Raider fan.
No, I’m a fan of the Raiders because of the style of football they used to play and the way the organization operated. I like the ‘maverick’ approach. I like the ‘Raider way’. I like the ‘us against the world’ approach. I remember when the Silver and Black had a mystique no other team had. I remember when ‘Just win baby’ was the reality. The kings of Monday Night Football. Perennial contenders. The team that welcomed the retreads and castoffs no one else wanted and won with them. The team that did it their own unique way and got the job done. Just win baby.
Through all those great years the constant driving force and shaper of the organization was none other than Al Davis.
Now, I understand why some people want to throw Al under the bus. Yup, the Raider’s futility over the last 6 years has been torturous to endure. This once proud team has been reduced to a laughingstock.
Still, I will never throw Al Davis under the bus. That’s just me. I’m loyal to a fault.
I’ll tell you one thing though – if Al turns this thing around, and the Raiders resume their place at the top of the NFL heap – that’s gonna make it all that much sweeter.
And if he doesn’t get it done, I’m going down with the ship.
Why are you a Raider fan ?
May 28th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
KK..well we did have Gruden and some stability until we traded that away..lets not go there
May 28th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
R8,
It gets weird here at night anyways, have fun.
I’m having a session myself.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
I’ve been a Raider fan since I first watch football, 35 years..I will always be Raider..I will always support Al Davis, until he chooses to die.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
post120,I agree that post was off base,perhaps we should have that person sit down,across from Al,and let Mr Davis school him on Football,as well as life!
May 28th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
“Yup, the Raider’s futility over the last 6 years has been torturous to endure.”
———————
This myth has been hard to shake. The Raiders are a sub.500 team for the last 20 yrs. In fact, the Raiders have been medicore since the advent of Free Agency in 1989.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Raiderman99,
Same reason as you bro.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
If you’re a fan..be positive..root hard..cross your fingers..celebrate with the wins..feel like crap with the losses.
If your not a fan..join another blog.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
OakTone,
LMFAO bro.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Kool Kell…good to see you still posting as ever. I’ve always enjoyed reading your posts. Critical, but thoughtful…always the provoker, but respectful. Good to see that the blog finally has required registration…maybe those posters like the old MaddenRaider will be deleted on a more consistent basis…
I would agree with your point on the age of a Raider fan, and how long they’ve followed the team are KEY to the level of cynicism that they may have towards Davis…1983 is a LONG TIME AGO (at least in the world of sports) and many of the posters that post up weren’t even born yet. I was there when the Raiders were in Oakland the FIRST time, and I remember vividly how the East Bay felt when Davis bolted for LA…that kind of thing just has a way of staying with you, ya know? Kinda like a divorce…you eventually get over it, and move on to other women, but you do still deal with some shrapnel wounds, ya dig?
May 28th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Raiderman 99..very well said.. me too brother..Because that what a FAN of a team does it supports the team through good times and bad..
May 28th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
I look forward to more thoughtful but realistic discussion…more critical but respectful dialogue…and 6-7 wins this fall.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
DesertRaider,
I like your moniker.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
I love the desert for many reasons, and 24 is my fav #.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
I think the vast majority of us that take time to post here are fans–the registration requirement really has eliminated A LOT of the distasteful posts of the past 2 years. I hope to see more of the types of posters like 808Raidah, NewMexicoRaider, OakGlenn, Huff24, GuamanianRaider, and the dean of 3 years ago, Coach Sean.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Btw RAIDERMANN99,
Well said, and I can respect that.
But I’m a local fan since 64′, seen Al as Head Coach. Knew many of the old Raiders.
And I don’t think Al has the right to stand in the way of winning, over sentimentality.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
O you there ?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Yes Mista.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
KK, as the majority partner he has the right to stand in the way of anything. You know that!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Desert..ill be 46 a week from today…i remember to the good old days when teams would fight getting off the bus until they got back on the bus to go home..it killed me when they went to LA…and i refused to call them LA RAIDERS wouldnt buy anything that said LA on it….but i am still a RAIDERS fan and always will be
May 28th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
O I tried your wine tonight its good. Silver something, what is the name I cant remember.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Back to football…and the topic…sigh, yet ANOTHER former player has pointed out the obvious…however, it is Rod Woodson, a HOFamer and someone who has earned the respect of players, coaches, and fans. Unfortunately, it is the one thing about dealing with a self-made millionaire–NO ONE CAN TELL HIM WHAT TO DO. He made his money HIS way, and he’ll lose it HIS way too.
It’s obviously slow during this time of the year, but I do look forward to seeing Bush get more touches. I’m looking forward to seeing DMac in the Wildcat, or lining up as a WR. I don’t know much about our new DC, but after 5-6 years of Rob Ryan, ANYTHING else would be an improvement.
I still laugh when I think of him trying to turn Sapp into a DE…
May 28th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Rod Woodson also has said you cant play the basic man 2 man defense in todays NFL.
Basically a crack on the buffoon that is Rob Ryan.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Hay KK by the way i respect your opion bro maybe dont agree but we all want the samething and that is to WIN and get back to greatness
May 28th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Nice to see you DesertRaider24.
Still the same ole arguments.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Mista,
Sterling. I’m glad you like it. What is it, merlot? What year?
I love their 02, and 03 reserve.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Mistabrown–now let’s be real here…we all know why the Raider DBs play mostly bump-and-run…the same reason why we draft players using only a stopwatch…LOL
May 28th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
While Woodson held back any personal shots at Al, he indeed criticized Al Davis as an owner/gm today. “Al needs help”. It’s that simple. As in, front office help. Real front office help, not yes men telling him every player he drafts or acquires is “genius”.
So, now we have:
Warren Sapp
Rich Gannon
Tim Brown
Rod Woodson
And the list keeps growing.
Fuq Al Davis and his worshipers.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Sterling!
I had dinner at my parents house and they served it so it was a total surprise. It was a Cab I dont remember the year. Cobuld have been 2007.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Yeah, KK, I’ve stayed away until I saw registration became a requirement. Just got tired of all the crap. I’m not local anymore–haven’t been since ‘86–but I think the age of the fan has more influence than the location. We now have an entire GENERATION of Raider fans who know little about the Raiders success other than through NFL Films and Youtube vids.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Desert if you want to have Ryans back thats purely up to you.
Tell me what the stopwatch had to do with too little blitzing, players out of position, no discipline, poor half time adjustments.
Im listening..
May 28th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Mista,
Your parents have good taste. lol
May 28th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Hmmm…I guess I spoke too soon…I’m no Davis supporter, at least when it comes to how the team has been run the past 6 years, but I guess MaddenRaider is back, eh?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
My money’s on Jerry Rice to next take a shot at Al. Any takers? Pretty soon every key player on our ‘02 team will have come out against Al. ….the players’ owner. BWAAHAHAHAH!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
DesertRaider, do you have a problem with me?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I’m hoping with a new DC who doesnt have his head up his own a$$ our defense can go from bottom to middle of the pack. That alone would be worth 2-3 wins.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
O, I guess so they let me eat at the table.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
I’m no Ryan supporter by any means either…I’m simply pointing out what many of us in the Nation have long suspected about our defensive schemes and play…they have been dictated by Davis…Sapp is always good for a quote, and DEFINITELY exaggerates and embellishes, but really–how much could he have exaggerated when he pretty much told the football world how Al dictates defensive game plans?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
We have no problem, MaddenRaider…as long as the exchange is respectful…we’re all Raider fans, which is why we’re here wasting time posting instead of doing something more constructive…LOL
May 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
but mista there your parents what else can they say lol
May 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Mista,
LMAO
May 28th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
DesertRaider, I’ll try again…..
Warren Sapp
Rich Gannon
Tim Brown
Rod Woodson
And the list is growing.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Ryan’s own wife pointed out how poorly the D was at tackling the ball carrier…if our tackling ALONE shows improvement, then yes, I can see the D adding 1-2 wins.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
It’s all good, Desert. It’s just that when you talk about registration being a good thing because I won’t be here, you don’t make a lot of sense because I wasn’t the one breaking Jerry’s rules.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Constructive!!!
Not for me and R8, and not now.
R8,
Right!!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
DesertRaider,
Al Davis has built up quite a Cult Leader Image for many, many, many years. Many younger fans only know that, and Rich Gannon.
I was there when the Raiders were a dynasty. And that was a Long time ago.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
You forgot Stu, D Hall, J Porter.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Ryan was doing what Al told him to do. That’s why Kiffin wanted to bring in his father. Because Monte would run his own defense and tell Al to eat a dik.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I agree with you, MaddenRaider, but let’s look at the obvious…YOU’RE STILL A RAIDER FAN…my point is also fairly obvious…no matter how many people point out the problems of the team, Davis will only relent when HE WANTS TO.
Until then, all we can do is hope for the best…I’m hoping for 6-7 wins…what do you see for 2009?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
G’night mrfkr’s
May 28th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Ryan lasted as long as he did because he did what Al told him to. Simply put. He was a big name from a football pedigree, with Super Bowl experience, that was actually willing to bend over for Al. A rarity. Al milked it for as long as he could. But eventually, it came time for Rob to be scapegoated, too.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Desert,
6 or 7 wins and Tom Cable is Fired!
At Least 8.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
DesertRaider, I don’t understand your point that Al Davis is going to do whatever he wants. Sure he is. So am I. He ruins my favorite football team, I criticize him relentlessly. That’s the ebb and flow. It’s on him to stop it. I will not spend a dime on the Raiders until Al is gone. And just to be fair about it? Even if they win. If by some miracle Al Davis produces a winning season again, I still will not jump on the bandwagon. I’ve severed my consumer relationship with the Raiders as long as Al Davis is alive. I believe Tim Brown about the Notre Dame race comments. And, Tim never recanted. He just sugar coated it. The press let it go because the sports media is corporate friendly and doesn’t want to give credibility to race issues. It’s a rare instance where they will take Davis’s side. Fuk Al Davis.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
same ol’ worthless schit from the same ol’ fuqqing haters.
I have never listened to Limbaugh but I would guess it be would be the same. Blah blah blah hate blah blah hate blah blah hate. never to let it go. Thanks for nothing.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Go Go Garcia!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
KK–have you ever read “Better to Reign in Hell: Inside the Raiders Fan Empire?” GREAT READ on Raider Nation…it also chronicles how Oakland’s blue collar based economy radically changed during the ’70s.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Lonetree,
You want a Raider bedtime story?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
And look what you’ve accomplished with all the hate………..zero.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
And look at what you’ve accomplished with all the love….zero.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Sorry O went on a B double E double R un
May 28th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
MaddenRaider–then I respectfully say to you to go to another blog. I come here as a TRUE FAN, not as some pissed off consumer with an ax to grind. Go somewhere else to vent; I come here to not only catch up on all things Raider, but to dialogue with my Raider brethren. Good luck–I hope you find what you are looking for.
KK–you really think Davis will can Cable if he doesn’t get to .500? I’ve looked at the schedule, and at this point in the year, I can’t see .500. Have you also seen the documentary “Rebels of Oakland?” Good sheeeit on the A’s, Raiders, Black Panthers, and all of the social change that went down during the ’70s…ahh…the daze of glory and empire…LOL
May 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
KK,
I do.
A story about Tatum, Atkinson, and the Raiders Vs. The Vikings.
Won’t that be nice?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
DesertRaider, this is not your blog. It’s Jerry’s. When he asks me to leave, I will. In the meantime, get over it.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Time to do some work…will check in later. Peace.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
No ,I haven’t read that.
But I grew up in the Coliseum. During the 60′ and 70′ the bay area was also the center of the counter-culture. Home of the Hippies, Hells Angels, Black Panthers, Sly & Family Stone, Santana……..
May 28th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
DesertRaider, you can start your own blog at google blogger for free. All Al Davis love, all the time. You can ban people for criticizing Al. That’s how it works. It would be YOUR blog. This, however, is not YOUR blog. It’s Jerry’s. You are a commenter here. Nothing more. Why are you having such a tough time understanding that?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
R8,
It’s a blog, it’s all good bro. You didn’t miss much.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
“If you want me to stay”
Gruden dedicated that song to Davis on KPOO back in ‘01.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
After all it’s just sports. I love the Raiders but I realize no one can win all the time. No matter what you do the best you can do is get lucky and some of what you do pans out.
There are certain principles and standards you must abide by but mostly you have rto have some luck…..perfect example Tom Brady. Joe Montana was not genius it was luck. Bo Jackson was bad luck, if he had stayed healthy things would’ve been much different.
The draft is a crap shoot but peple try to pretend they’ve got it all figured out. Yeah right! fans criticise organizations about bad drafts and no one gets it all right all the time.
Hell the defensive player of the year wasn’t even drafted and was cut 6times. But you have these talking heads that run their mouths as if they have never been wrong.
If the Patriots were soo freakin smart why did they wait until the 6th rnd to drat Tom Brady? Half the Steelers were mid and low rnd draft picks. That were on scholarship until they panned out.
My point is you get players whereever you can get them…………..period
May 28th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
MR.. who’s you favorite football team
May 28th, 2009 at 10:46 pm

You are lucky, I love those days.
Don’t forget about the cars!!! Muscle cars are great.

O my first car was a 1972 capri..i had a friend that had a 67 charger that was a girl she hated it we would trade cars all the time..man was it fun
May 28th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Raider O
I’m lucky as hell. I grew up when they were unbelievable. I never imagined I see days like these. But they’ve been medicore, at best, over the last 20 years.
Al Davis is a man, not a god.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
KK why is that crap ?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
He basically absolved Management of any responsibility for the product.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
R8,
My first car was an 83 NewYorker, it was my father’s.
The 1st car I ever bought is a 94 Nissan Altima, and I still own it and drive it everyday.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Not at all IMO he was saying that the draft is a crap shoot and some teams get lucky and some teams dont..
May 28th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Most of the players on the Pat’s were FA’s because most of their draftpicks are bust. Biulding a football team is an all consuming process. And then it may be wrong. Organization mmust identify wh they are and what their program will consist of the type of schemes and such. Then hpe like hell you can get the players that fit that scheme. But injuries, attrition and just bad decisions play a large role in wether you’re successful. More than anything a great QB is the single toughest acquisition, if you have one chances are the coach will last longer. Well we didn’t have one for the last 6years which IMO had a lot to do with coaches getting fired. Dungy at Tampa no QB..fired and at Indy great QB he retired. Biggest difference the QB.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
O my dad sold me my first car…man that capri was bad a$$ in the 70’s lol
May 28th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
KK,
You are right sir. He Is a man a not a god, so he makes mistakes.
The problem is, he mad a lot of them over the last 20 years, especially the last 6.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
BHP …but dont you agree that you need a stabile coaching staff to have any success in the NFL..IMO thats why we have been so poor lately
May 28th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
He’s basically saying putting winning football teams on the field is a matter of luck, and not organizations and coaching management. Crap. He’s only here to cover Al Davis’ rear.
If that were the case, the Bengals would have won a Super Bowl by now.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
The capri was a nice car, but the 67 Charger had me drooling. lol
May 28th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Yeah I agree very much so. Stability is important especially if that stability includes a great QB and coach. The loses over the last 6years had more to do with the inability to score points………no QB.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
R8paver
Ask him about the last 20 years, see what he says.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Your problem KK is that your hatred for Al Davis is all you know. I just know what he’s done so far hasn’t worked out. That doesn’t mean he’s not trying with all he knows how. He feels he has the help he needs, many disagree. So we’ll see
We can argue to the end of time but we all know he wants to win. The young talent on this team right now is very impressive. Now can they win….period?
May 28th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
O her car was bad a$$..her dad was an ex race car machanic so the car was in really good shape looping cam MOPAR power…ohhhh the good old days
May 28th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
You want to label every critic a hater. I hate losing, are you a loser?
May 28th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
“Al Davis wants to win”
So what? People in hell want ice water.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
R8,
They don’t make them like they use to. FiberGlass, what a joke!!
May 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Critics are just criics, but haters are people that ignore truth just to push their agendas. Fair criticism is fine by me.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:19 pm

He can’t create a iracle man he can only do what he knows. If that’s not good enough Oh! well. He’sprovided me with tons of enjoyment. Just because things aren’t what I want them to be I’m not going to start hating the guy. As long as I know he’s doing everything he can I can’t complain.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
BHP i agree 110% if you can keep a coaching staff and the core players the same you will win..give our o-line 2 years togeather and Russell time with Hackett and imo we will be a force in the league again..at this point the whole organization must grow togeather from Cable to Jruss to DHB..imo 17 starts is not enough for anyone to be called a bust with 2 HC and 3 play callers
May 28th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Boy what a trip that guy is.
I’m misleading people, but he’s not. Yeah uh huh!
May 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
BHP..IMO there is NO one that is as sick of losing as AL..
May 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I agree I’m anxious to see how we do, I think this is a very good mix. So we’ll see
May 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I couldn’t have said it better R8rpaver, but be careful. You’ll be called a cultist with that opinion.

I’ll tell you what bothers me about KK. It’s as if he thinks he has some right to demand success. All concerns have a burning desire to see the team succeed but it is not a right. THis is a very demaning sport and culture(the NFL) putting a team together with great coaches is extremely difficult. Then having great success is even more difficult. When it happens you enjoy it. But when hard times arise you don’t start demanding people die. Or have someone who’s been responsible for your enjoyment all of sudden he’s wicked and destructive.
I think what Mr Davis has done in the last 2 years will bare fruit but it takes time. Unfortunately the last 6 years have been horrible but anyn can see thin gs are changing. So let’s let this play itself out.
Trust me, time will bring about a change wether we like it or not so let’s see what tomorrow brings.
Well I’m done
Adios

Why was Kaczur at least suspended for admitedly purchasing / dealing 10s of thousands of OXYCONTIN’S?
New Englands line is a bunch of F’in drug addicts, but its ok…cuz thats not a banned substance. Its prescription and he lhelped narc on his supplier!
What a great fella, what a great team.
May 29th, 2009 at 6:07 am
I will agree with that, Dirt Lot!
OAKlifer…Yup, Rod has finished strong with us. What made him so good was that he never trashed any team that he was on. Funny how every team he was on made the SB. We need more players like him!
May 29th, 2009 at 6:11 am
220. Cheers to that
May 29th, 2009 at 6:12 am

….look at New England’s roster , and statistics record vs ours…year after year after year…
May 29th, 2009 at 6:13 am
The SLOB needs to step away from the Fur Coat section at Neiman Marcus and his local Krispy Kreme counter and start paying more attention in meetings. I hope that I’ll be eating my words come football season, but I doubt it. This guy was never worth the first overall pick. Million dollar arm…10 cent head. I guarantee we’ll be looking at another QB in 2 years
***
sheesh 90210. harsh words and criticism for a guy who has only started 16 games, had 3 play callers, 2 head coaches, no WR’s, an average o-line and a terrible run defense last year. give him time

I think they could still beat us with Roland Burris as QB…
May 29th, 2009 at 6:19 am
good morning , RR, N21..,
I wonder if Shannon Brown should start over Fisher ?
May 29th, 2009 at 6:21 am
Good Morning Rockstar…yup, ot even Tom Brady could have his stats with Russels first year obstacles.
…And you are right N21. I always did say that Brady is a good system qb that has also worked hard on his skill. I’m dying to see Cassell fall flat because he doesn’t fit the system. Oh well…Funny you have to cheat to be a system qb…LOL
May 29th, 2009 at 6:24 am
NnAMDI21 IS ON FIRE..WE ALL KNOW ONE PLAY PUT NEW ENGLAND ON THE MAP,WHEN A TRAM WIN’S, BY WHATEVER MEAN’S, MOST BIG-NAME FREE AGENT’S WANT TO GO THERE. SEE DALLAS / 49ers IN THE 90′S WHICH KEEP’S THEM GOING 4 A FEW YEARS..
May 29th, 2009 at 6:27 am
I also agree that Belicheat is scum… As for Tom Brady, great as he is, after the fact when the season was over, it would have been classy of him to simply admit that the tuck rule was simply a blown call…
May 29th, 2009 at 6:27 am
-1 HC & play caller
-Tollner & Hackett to teach Russell, rather than Knapp (worked wonders for Vick) & Defilippo
-less Fargas and more McFadden & Bush
-Henderson replaces Harris
-Satele replaces Grove
-Heyward Bey & Murphy replace Curry & Lelie
-Marshall replaces Ryan as DC
-Johnson replaces Hall
-Mitchell replaces Wilson
-Garcia replaces Tui
-Neal replaces Griffith
***
many important changes this offseason. Locking up Nnamdi and keeping the entire special teams unit intact should not be overlooked either …
May 29th, 2009 at 6:28 am
TGIMFF!
Good mornin all. Reading Jerry’s post, I cringed when I saw he is working on “a project down the road.” With Rod Woodson? I hope this isn’t a book-length version of the ex-Raider Al Davis psychoanalysis tour.
May 29th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Rod Woodson is a classy guy. I agree with his analysis
May 29th, 2009 at 6:30 am
I dont believe that included in Brady’s “first year obstacles” were routine misfires, under no pressure , in critical situations…
May 29th, 2009 at 6:33 am
248 great post!!!
Morning Double R!!!
All the changes have definitly been for the better this year!!! which is change it self from the last few off seasons!!!!
May 29th, 2009 at 6:37 am
Senile,
Brady would have gained at least some respect from me that year if he had admitted that the “tuck” was a blown call. Instead, he admitted that he knew that the play would be overturned and laughed about it when asked in interviews. As for his 1st year obstacles…yes, he was smarter than Jamarcus. Now, would we be talking about this if it the tuck rule never happened? Probably not. But, none of us owns a magic phone booth. It is what it is.
May 29th, 2009 at 6:40 am

I agree. DHB & Mitchell were both considered “reaches” by draft experts, but that doesn’t matter if they both produce on the football field.
Thats the only thing haters can slam us with as far as offseason moves. I don’t even care if Russell looks out of shape and out of sync in May. I’ll be concerned if he’s still that way in September though …

yup woodson is all class…..and its no coincendence that all his teams make the SB with guys like that “leaders” “playmakers” in the locker room and on the feild goes a loooong way!!!
May 29th, 2009 at 6:53 am
Jruss needs to run more just like big ben rumble when its their, of course he has 2 rings but last pic I say of big ben he looked more like fat ben a tummy that put jruss to shame.
May 29th, 2009 at 6:58 am
Yeah, but Big Ben really has nothing to prove anymore…just got to shed the haters label of never having to go through NE to get the SB win!
May 29th, 2009 at 7:06 am
Anyways…back to Raider football…
Here’s hoping that Mitchell becomes a great safety like Rod Wood!!!

May 29th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Here’s hoping to all to have a good weekend!!! See ya all on Monday…wait sorry, Tuesday. I have to work later on Monday!!!
May 29th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Rod Woodson could sure play… great corner with the Steelers (too bad) and finished up strong as a Raiders’ safety. Smart, talented, Class act….
Funny story, a girl I knew had a Steelers tatoo with Wood’s number just above her breast…. she got his autograph in Pittsburg before a game once and showed her tatoo (nothing more) to him…. and he blushed.
May 29th, 2009 at 7:40 am
In those two quarters, Bush carried 24 times for 206 yards and scored twice on breakaway runs, averaging 8.6 yards per carry. He was the dominant force in two of the Raiders five wins.
If you want to anoint Bush as the second-coming of Jim Brown, play those quarters over and over and stop reading here.
Because other than those two quarters, when the Raiders were cut-blocking the opposition to ribbons with Bush and his 245-plus pounds breaking into the second-level untouched, he was ordinary. Even less than ordinary.
Minus the fourth quarters against the Chiefs and Bucs, Bush carried 71 times for 215 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 2.8 yards per carry.
=======================================================
Ah…but a little clarification is in order. Since Bush was BADLY misused last year he only had a total of 95 carries for 421 yds. Those 4th quarter stats represented 25% of his total carries and 50% of his total yards….what if Bush got another 90 carries last year?
Those 4th QTR carries were a significant part of his body of work.
May 29th, 2009 at 7:43 am
see ya Hwnrdr. have a great weekend bro!
May 29th, 2009 at 7:44 am
I couldn’t agree more, Nnamdi21, NE wouldn’t have won any SBs without stealing other team’s signals. Denver cheated the salery cap by $95 million to win 2 SBs. SF cheated the salary cap to win their 4th SB but everyother yr the NFL passes rules because of the Raiders since 1960’s.
Woodson is nothing but class, I remember wishing we had him since he was with Pitt.
May 29th, 2009 at 7:47 am
I agree with you S&B. you have to look at the big picture when trying to summerize a players performance.
if you’re going to take out all the big runs and come up with an average rushing yards per carry you should take out all the no gains or negative runs as well …
May 29th, 2009 at 7:47 am
Fargas started 14 games. In all those games he had 5 games where he got more than 80 yds and only one game where he eclipsed 100 yds (107).
His season average was 3.9 yds per carry. But if you apply the “Jerry Principle” and take away his best carries…if you take away two of his longest carries…a 42 yarder in garbage time on Monday Night against Denver….and a 21 yarder in Mile High in the 4th QTR….that average drops to 3.65 yards per carry.
I hear that Fargas is a good teammate and leader. That’s all fine and good, but the starting tailback has to do better than 3.9 yds per carry…or 3.65 during prime time when the game is on the line!
May 29th, 2009 at 7:48 am

Son of Pats coach arrested for alcohol possession
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) The 17-year-old son of New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has to stay out of trouble for six months to escape a charge for alcohol possession in the Gillette Stadium parking lot.
Brian Belichick was arrested Monday afternoon, the day of the NCAA lacrosse title match, after police found him holding a can of beer during a patrol for underage drinkers, authorities said.
The younger Belichick appeared in Wrentham District Court on Tuesday. His case was continued without a finding for six months, meaning if he stays out of trouble, the charges will dropped.
Norfolk district attorney’s spokesman David Traub said Belichick will have to pay $200 in court costs and complete an educational program on the potential consequences of drinking.

Brandon Marshall Pushing For a New Deal
Posted by Aaron Wilson (PFT)
Although Denver Broncos star wide receiver Brandon Marshall doesn’t appear to be holding any real leverage, he’s lobbying behind the scenes for the team to restructure his contract, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post.
Marshall is recovering from hip surgery and is still facing thorny legal issues involving his former girlfriend. Per the report, the Broncos are not inclined to grant Marshall’s request.
Marshall is reportedly attempting a power play by rehabilitating his surgically-repaired hip away from the Broncos’ training facility. Marshall’s lawyer denied that was the case.
“Brandon is not a holdout,” Harvey Steinberg told the Post. “He went back to Orlando so he could continue rehabbing from his surgery.”
Marshall is due a $2.2 million base salary this year after catching 104 passes for 1,265 yards and six touchdowns last season. He registered 102 receptions for 1,325 yards and seven touchdowns in 2007.
Besides the medical issue, the Broncos’ hesitation to give Marshall a new deal could be because of potential pending NFL discipline.
Marshall’s former girlfriend, Rasheeda Watley, is speaking out to ESPN’s Outside The Lines program for a segment that’s scheduled to run Sunday. She’s continuing to press ahead with a domestic violence charge filed against Marshall last year.
“I feel like somebody has to stand up and stop him from doing this because the Broncos haven’t done it, the NFL hasn’t done it, the Atlanta police department hasn’t done it,” Watley told ESPN.
Marshall was suspended by the league office for one game last season and was also fined.

RaiderDogg,
I hope Game 7s are what each of the NBA conference finals come down to. Can’t say I like any of the teams that much but it has been entertaining to watch each of the series. All of the young men on each team (except for Whiner Bynum) deserve to have it all play out in such a fashion, one game, winner take all.
thanks for twisting the norco thing out of here.

I love game 7’s, whether it is basketball, baseball or hockey. If I am lucky enough to have a vested interest it is even better, although I can’t remember the last time one of my teams was in that situation. That game last night, especially the 4th quarter, was a fun game to watch. James literally imposed his will and made sure that the Cavs won.
As far as Norco Bob goes, reality can be the scariest thing for people in his situation. I was honestly trying to give him a little perspective.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Rockstar,
very nice cite from Amy Trask.
RaiderDogg,
IMO each of the games in the Cavs-Magic series has been played as if it were a game seven. Very fun to watch. Lakers-Thugs almost as well.
the norco reality is an odd one, whatever it is.

For the hardcore like myself, if this doesn’t get you psyched in May nothing will. The pro’s prose:
The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
swaggering boisterously
His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash
With his silver hat about his head
And a bristly black moustache
He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold
The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He’ll knock you ’round and upside down
And laugh when he’s conquered and won.

“the Chargers are a solid football team. It feels good to get the win, especially since we haven’t beat them in 5 or 6 years. We came prepared. Our guys were hungry and we’re trying to build off the momentum from winning the last 2 games of 2008. JaMarcus played the way we feel he is capable of playing. We’ve still got some work to do. We’re going to get ready to travel to Kansas City. a tough place to play on the road and our guys are fired up”

Mike Mitchell on a run blitz. He shoots the gap between Kelly and Warren. Blows up Tomlinson for a loss on the play. LT is getting up slowly. trainers are out there trying to find out if it’s a reinjured knee or groin. LT sits on the bench with his helmet on. at halftime reporters caught up with LT, here’s what he had to say “who was that guy?” “i never saw him coming”. Coach decided to let me recouperate and have me ready to go next week instead of risking further injury.

I love morning humor.
Especially love watching, what I assume to be grown men (women?) getting all giggly over a silly little “Autumn wind is a Raider”
There is a subtlety in there, obviously missed by most.
Autumn.
As compared to spring.
Spring things come to life. Growth. Emerging. Gaining strength.
Autumn things start to die off..regress…even lay down and die.
Pretty much the state of the Raiders each ‘Autumn’, is it not?
But hey, keeping with the theme of things, I think you should keep a backup theme, just in case.
Try this:
the inky binky spider went up the water spout..
down came the rain…well..you know the rest.
At least you’ll have less people laughing at you for that one, instead of the “Arrrggh…we’re pirates”
But hey. Kids do love that pirate stuff…right, mateys?
May 29th, 2009 at 11:10 am

To kill a wild animal, just so you can wear it’s skin!!!!

You obviously don’t understand the feelings that accompany the poem “Autumn Wind” for true Raider fans young and old.
It’s sad when people feel the need to ridicule what they don’t understand. I don’t blame you, it is a crutch many rely upon to distract themselves from the fact that they are truly uninformed, and are too close-minded, to ever grasp what they couldn’t possibly comprehend. I actually feel sorry for people like you.

Not a hunter myself, never had the opportunity, unless you include rat hunting. I did that often while living in Oakland, CA with 5 other people in an old victorian house. It was a competition.

LOL……thought you was signin off….not askin you to leave EVA!!!! I enjoy like I said a constructive convo any time!! and while I also Agree that there is a HUGE difference between farm animal, and wild animals!! but wouldn’t it be safe to say Farm animals are far more like “pets” then other wild animals….and if our cow, chicken or pig population were to be dwindling would we be up in arms about protecting animal rights?? I dont think we would cause its our “tradition” to eat those meats wev’e been condtitioned to think that is all right..but like I said in other countries they eat dogs does that make them any less civilized than us?
May 29th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I don’t see how killing a wild animal can bring so much joy to someone, especially if you don’t need the meat or Fur for clothes. It’s killing for the pure joy of killing.
I really can’t think of another reason.
Some hunt animals that they can’t buy from the store, such as Elk, deer, and a lot of birds. Thats different than hunting Fox, bobcats, and other wild animals!! IMO
May 29th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Name one Farm Animal that’s on the Endangered Animal List!!!

*************************
none that I can think of….
But isnt that cause they are raised in captivity and forced to breed for our consumption…..Don’t think thats what they would want as animals do you?? Animal rights is a broad subject and depending on where you were raised you r opinions will vary for instance Double R lives in MO so he hunts and eats…but if you live in Oakland you prob were to taught to shop fpor your food… to each his own!!!

Cant you buy Buffalo at the market??? arnt they close to endagered??? or only the wild ones….which brings me back to my point!!!! ALL animals weere made to be wild not held captive and raised for consumption!!!!
With that said I need to renew my combo tag its stealhead season here!!!

OAK,
I know they eat dogs in other countries, I can’t judge them.
I don’t like it, but I can’t say anything negative about for 2 reasons:
1- who am I to judge an entire nation or country for what they choose to eat??!!
2- dogs are not Wild animals, and their not endangered. You don’t have to worry about your kids not seeing a dog.
May 29th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Surely there’s a forum on some website for animal rights for this topic! But personally i think if you eat meat u should have to kill it yourself and dress it so you truly respect the animal and its sacrifice. Remove disassociation from the general meat eater and we are headed in the right direction.
May 29th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
I feel ya O,
All we can controll is what we do and what we teach our kids!!!!
May 29th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
OAK,
You have a point about animals being wild. I guess my point is that I want my jus to see animals in the wild just like I did. I live on a canyon, and I see rabbits, fox, and raccoons.
I want my kids to see these animals too, and not just gear about them or see them at the zoo.

I’d like to see Huff start at FS and Mitchell start at SS.
Having said that, Eugene will probably start at FS and Branch will probably start at SS. That’s what it looks like in OTA’s thus far … and these two guys are getting beat by scrub TE’s like Stewart, O’Neill, Myers and Strong! even FB Reece out of the backfield!

You can’t watch the Raiders these last 6 seasons and not have some harsh criticism of Al Davis and everyone involved. But if Al is so washed up and clueless and can’t get beyond the 70’s game, why is that 22 teams haven’t been to a super bowl since the last time the Raiders were, only a few years ago? Did he just get lucky? Teams don’t go to the SB on luck (Well, okay, except the Steelers in 72 and the Patriots in 02!)
May 29th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Huff has coverage skills and Mitchell has crackin’ heads and intimidation skills. lay the wood. sounds like a good combo to me

you can make the same argument about people who spend their money on drugs, alcohol, bling and tabacco products. It’s all about choices. priorities. people have different interests/hobbies.

May 29th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
The term Caucasian (or Caucasoid) race has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the indigenous populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia and South Asia.[1] Historically, the term has been used to describe the entire population of these regions, without regard necessarily to skin tone. In common use, the term is sometimes restricted to Europeans and other lighter-skinned populations within these areas, and may be considered equivalent to the varying definitions of white people.[2]
The concept of a Caucasian race was developed around 1800. Today some scholars reject the concept because human genome studies have not demonstrated a precise genetic definition of Caucasian.[3][4]

There are Caucasians in Arab Countries, they immigrated from the mountains.

I’m not sure when, so I don’t want to say.
But if I had to guess, I would say 500- 700 years ago they immigrated to the Arab countries and others close to that area. The reason was religion!! Still is in that Area, look at the (Sheshnians) sorry I can’t spell.

The 4th edition of Meyers Konversationslexikon (Leipzig, 1885-1890) shows the Caucasian race (in blue) as comprising Aryans, Semites and Hamites. Aryans are further subdivided into European Aryans and Indo-Aryans (the latter corresponding to the group now designated Indo-Iranians). Adjacent to the Caucasians are the Sudan-Negroes to the south (shown in brown), the Dravidians in India (shown in green) and Asians to the east (shown in yellow, subsuming the peoples now grouped under Ural-Altaic (light yellow) and Sino-Tibetan (solid yellow)).
May 29th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
KK,
I saw that, but is that your only source of information?
You don’t have to agree, and I can make mistakes.
Just keep an open mind, do more research ( if you are interested), and then let me know what you think! I know what I’m telling due to a few reasons. School paper, and personal interest in that Area and it’s history.
Don’t focus on a term definition from 1 website, do some research.

KK,
Look at the war between Russia and Shechnia, reason and history, and google Caucasian mountains. Very interesting information.
May 29th, 2009 at 3:40 pm

Like I told TW, I want to talk about it later.
I can share my point of view how women are treated worse here and other countries that claim better rights for women than musl!m women!
May 29th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Let the Mini pin do all the digging sorry, later.

Even though I’d like to see it, I’ll bet Marshall won’t get suspended for his 4th arrest in just over 3 years.
Charges were dropped even though he “punched and kicked” his girlfriend (again) right infront of the cops.
Even though rehabbing from hip surgery, he wants more money.
http://kevintor.blogspot.com/2009/02/stupid-sexy-flanders.html
I hope the gets suspended and or leaves the division.

Oh boy, you guys know how frustrating it is to read the comments throughout the afternoon and not be able to chime in and add a little spice to things?
I like Raider O, seems like a good dude, but we would have clashed a little today. And KoolKell, you are better than comment #508.
May 29th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Marshall is an idiot and no doubt he will blow up this year with a green coach and a QB half as talented as Cutler. Hopefully he takes his frustrations out on a grown man (maybe a teammate) instead of a women this go round.
May 29th, 2009 at 5:00 pm

May 29th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Evening Nation,
Wow! Slaves, Pyramids,and Whitey.
Are we now in the 21st century?
Are we not socially, more evolved?
I like or dislike people based on “The Content of Their Character”, as a great Black Man was quoted as saying.
I’m white, and by heritage, Scott’s/Irish.
I guess if we were to use the similar logic as some would argue regarding Slavery and by inference, discrimination and bigotry,in Today’s age…I most certainly must be a penny pinching (Scotts), drunk (Irish).
I’m personally tired of people whining about their circumstances in this country specificly.
If one can not change their life for the better here, then I wish them all the luck finding a place that suites their needs elsewhere.
Make no mistake, I think our Country has been on a long slow decline in many respects, but it still provides the best HONEST opportunity for ALL peoples.
Off the Rant now.
Thanks for listening.
May 29th, 2009 at 8:14 pm

if only my other team could do this
May 29th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
I wonder if Mike Mayock is still in love with Brady Quinn? he can’t even beat out a 5th rnd QB who’s struggling…
He liked Quinn over Russell saying he wouldn’t touch Russell and Quinn was a solid 1st rndr. I said Quinn was a 2nd or 3rd rndr and he’s living up to it. He mmay still turn out to be a solid QB but he’ll never be great if the Browns had passed on him would he have been drafted in the 1st?
Russell IMHO will be very good to great and you’ll see some of that this year as he starts to get comfortable as a NFL starter. And his talent starts to come to the fore. The running, the big plays and the dominance late in games. Like he did against the Jets last yearas well as the Bucs. So maybe the sixpack and all the hype don’t mean much after all.
Isn’t Quinn most of your idea as the QB you’d want for your team the prototype QB and Russell the antitypical QB. So as their careers unfold we’ll see what really matters most.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Hi TJ,…called Gary lately? You can again you know, you are no longer banned.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Hey Bobby, no I haven’t but I did call Rod and Fitz. I rarely ever called Gary anyway.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Priesttj,
Thanks for that post.
Quinn is not in Jamarcus’ league regarding talent.
He may possibly look better on a Poster at 24 hr Fitness, but Jamarcus has the “Goods”.
Good Coaching and CONTINUITY of the Offensive approach will spell imo nothing but success…Period.
lol…I had to borrow(Period) one of Your signature terms.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
How’s the BUZZ Narco?
May 29th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Fitz and Brooks arent worth my time, as you know they both are in the Niners pockets, both of them…Gary is who you truly need to call, so please call him, say youre sorry, then its all good,..ok TJ?
May 29th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Its always good Len,but Im sure youre still the same bitch as always.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
lol, they say imitation is the greatest compliment, so right on!
I like how Russell just goes about his business and let’s the game speak for him. And I think we’ll see evidence of that again this year.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Say I’m sorry Bob? what did I do that I should say I’m sorry?
And why do you want me to call Gary?
May 29th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
TJ I was told that you were banned by Gary for some rant you went on on the air,…but Gary says its ok, youre forgiven,..so you can call again,..please do, you were the best caller,…next to me.

=======================================================
100% agreement on Jamarcus. He needs Repetitions / Game Time Experience.
He looked much better at the end of the year.
He actually was looking to His 2nd and 3rd options.
It was obvious.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
What Jamarcus needs is a release….June 1st around corner, should happen then,…Ala willing.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
I never went on any rant, Like I said I never knew I was banned until YOU told me.
Furthermore I have no problem with Gary at all. So I’m not sure what this stuff is all about. I rarely listen to Gary because he doesn’t talk sports. Nothing personal.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Garys ok,…Fitz n Brooks suck,..Barbieri is a child molester.

TJ,…can I expect a call to Gary monday morning?
May 29th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Yeah! Len 30 starts is my estimation for Russell to really start to let it rip. That’s when I think he’ll feel comfortable attacking defenses. So we’ll see.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
TJ,…by week 5 Garcia starts and finishes the season.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:06 pm

======================================================
Yep. This season will also be a huge learning experience.
Stabler didn’t see Full time action untill his 3rd or 4th year.
Jamarcus needs Stability in Coaching, and in the Offensive Scheme.
If He is provided with that, and an Offensive line that gives Him some time to throw, then I see nothing but good things for Him, provided He puts in the requisite work.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:09 pm

People won’t be laughing at us when we unleash all are speed Chaz,Dmac,DHB,JLH or when Nhamdi is the slowest guy in the secondary Johnson,Mitchell,Branch!!

May 30th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Do you think the Cavs will win the next 2 games?
May 30th, 2009 at 10:48 am
RaiderO,
while everyone is fascinated with the King, seems to me that Superman’s team plays with a lotta heart. And, as for a finals, the Cavs don’t have the athleticism to match the Lake boys. The Magic does.
And no, from a few days ago, I have never heard of the Law of Attraction. What is it?
May 30th, 2009 at 10:54 am
KK, TW, and others who are interested,
You asked about the state of Musl!m Women in Arab Countries, I can’t speak for all Arab countries, but I can tell you about the countries I know about.
1st of all, ty have to understand that there is a difference between Arab culture and Musl!m culture. For example, there are Musl!ms in India, Malaysia, and other countries. Arab countries like Jordan, Saudi , and others share an Arab culture since they are all Arab nations, but they still have diff customs and traditions pending on the area they are from.
May 30th, 2009 at 10:59 am
M,
Superman’s team is playing better and they should win, but James vs. Kobe is great for BBall!!
Law of Attraction:
The science of attracting more of what you want and less of what you don’t.
Michael J. Losier
May 30th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Back to Musl!m Women:
Now you also have to understand that there are a lot of Christians in that area since it is the origin of all three major religions.
These Christians share the same Arab trades as their musl!m brothers in the same country. ( I speak of the countries I know and visited, I heard it wasn’t the same all over Arab countries, but I don’t know for sure, so let’s not go there. I speak of a country like Jordan, UAE, Lebannon, etc..)
May 30th, 2009 at 11:08 am
For example; a lot of the older generation Christian women wear a scarf on their head, as part of the Arabic culture and not Musl!m. My wife is musl!m and she doesn’t wear it.
So there is a huge diff between Arab and Musl!m who are Arabs!!!
May 30th, 2009 at 11:11 am
RaiderO,
hmmm. there’s an old proverb about being very circumspect when tossing a pebble into a pond. one never knows exactly what will become of the ripples spreading out in all directions.
IMO, human beings mostly lack the wisdom to understand much of anything. getting in the business of attracting things/people/circumstances, let alone wanting those things/people/circumstances will play out over time and have repercussions physically, metaphysically, karmically etc. and may perpetuate endlessly in the continuum and beyond.
We all interfere with things each day just by our presence in this life, yet I prefer The Prime Directive.
I fear the Cavs would be swept by the Lake. Hope East Con goes seven anyway.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Raider O,
Read your comment from last night, and your right clash might have been the wrong choice of words on my part, we can call it respectfully disagree.
Just didn’t like the comment in #491 about the rich. Class-warfare is what is dividing our country right now. It’s not the “rich’s” job to feed any kids other than there own. Now it is their job to fuel the economy by spending, and we all would rather have them fuel another industry besides the lion killing one, but I would rather it that way than live in a place where they tell you how you have to spend their hard-earned money (of course as long as it is legal).
Besides, after you get your BS here soon, your going to be on the other side of the fence. Finance major right?
May 30th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Now we can look at the state of Musl!m women in the Arab countries:
You have some countries who have extreme rules for musl!m women like Saudi, and what KK said was hurtful, but it’s true in a country like Saudi, but NOT Jordan, Lebannon, UAE, Egypt, Syr!a, and other countries. Mainly Saudi and areas on the Arabian Gulf.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Let’s take a break from Musl!m women for now, will continue later!

May 30th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Not outside of North America, just got back from anniversary in Canada a few months ago, been to Caribbean, Mexico and the like.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:23 am
I guess Carribean is Central America, but you get the jist. Never been across the pond.

The problem is not with wealth per se. When the rich make 30 times what working people make is one thing. When they make 3,000 times what working people make, it breeds distrust in the whole.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:24 am
So are you disgusted at Lebron James or Michael Jordan?
May 30th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Vegas,
Let me clear an issue 1st:
I’m a HUGE fan of Capitalism, This Country due to that (and other reasons), and I love my Finance Major! lol
I would never tell a rich person how to spend his money. Not for ethical reasons but for the simple reason that I want to become rich, and I don’t want anyone telling me how tospend my money.
That’s why I’m in the only pure Capitalist country in the word next to UAE!! lol
May 30th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Finance major myself O, Chico State, and am a broker for a publicly traded company. Not the best of times for that, but my wife is the rock, working as a VA nurse and taking care of our heroes past and present.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Europe would be a nice trip for you. They share our systems of capitalism, democracy, and Judeo\Christian values. Only with a lot more decency, and balance. Education in waaaaaay better, the roads are waaaaay better, and the streets are waaaaaay less violent.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Now,
Here is my issue:
This rich guy can do anything leagel that he wants to do with his money.
My problem is: out of the leagel things he can do, go goes to takes a life.
A life that never harmed him, or caused him any discomfort!!!
That’s my problem!! It’s not how he spend his money, but taking a life because be feels impowered due to his money.
What do you think Sir?
May 30th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Hong Kong reminds me of America. Pure Capitalism, no social elements at all. Lot’s of rich, Lots of very, very poor. No in between.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:33 am
KK,
I was blessed and lucky to have visited Europe. lol
But I have to disagree with you about them sharing our Captalist system.
They pay 40+ of their income in taxes!!
May 30th, 2009 at 11:35 am
40+% of thier income, sorry.
KK,
I have never been to the far east or south America.
Next trip if I’m lucky

Kool,
Would love to visit the homeland (Italy) and Amsterdam is screaming for me!! Not too interested in Scandanavia area, too damn cold for me. I know you like it up there.
O,
I wouldn’t do it to exotic animals, but I grew up in a military family and have gone hunting a few times. However, I am a huge gun control advocate. I get your point, but attack the person for it, and leave the wealth factor out of it. Plenty of hicks in the mid-west shoot animals all day and could barely rub two nickels together. My radars just go up when people start bashing the rich. I’m not “rich” but plan on it here soon, and we didn’t get the “stimulus” check last year, but we do get the making work pay tax-break. I could go off on that too, but I’ll spare you that as I gotta check out here shortly. Thanks for letting me grab your ear for a second.

Now, what is it about the 15th century muslims feel so fond about?
May 30th, 2009 at 11:40 am
In the U.S. It’s dog eat dog, capitalism.
In Europe, there’s rules.

Europe is Capitalist, yes they pay higher taxes. In exchange they get a working society. Higher wages, longer vacations, better school system, cheaper Health care, better roads, and safer society.
In America you pay cheaper taxes, and don’t get a damned thing for them.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Vegas,
You are right, I did make a mistake!
Please excuse me.
I was just trying to show the dark side of the human spirit. How 20k can save a few lives, but it’s used to take a life.
I should have never said rich people, and just said people.
To be rich is not a crime, and that’s why im here , and others like me come to this great country.

I know you were not trying to be hurtful, but like you said. You were honest, and like I said. It happens in countries like Saudi and others, and that’s why I’m sad.
I wanted to tell you you were wrong, but I couldn’t!!! Made me very angry and sad!!
It’s not what !slam stands for bro!

Now to answer your question:
EVERYTHING!!! The strength of that nation, the building structure, the mercy they showed their enemies, and more!!! Much more!!
Look at some of the buildings in Spain, Egypt, Istanbul Turkey!!

Sorry I missed your last post, later Bro.
Have a great weekend.
May 30th, 2009 at 11:54 am
I don’t think that’s what Islam stand for either. I have some Persian friends here, she’s beautiful by the way, and so is her daughter (grown). And very comfortable around us non-muslims.
I guess it’s just like Christianity, perverted by some people to exert control over others.

It’s about what makes happy. If you are happy being a Buddhist, then be a Buddhist.
All these Reiligions teach the same ethics. Don’t kill, etc…..
I don’t have a problem if you don’t even have faith, I didn’t for a long time.
That’s why I’m hurt KK, some people are giving my Faith a very bad reputation.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
KK,
In !slam:
Musl!m can’t harm trees, animals, women, children, or elders at a state of war. Everything else is allowed except killing yourself.
How to does that apply to these bombings???
Those are not real musl!ms, and they don’t understand their own faith.
Some are brain washed by other who claim to be Musl!m to do their own dirty work.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Yep. Hopefully Obama’s election will help bring in a new era of tolerance, and recognition that we are all sentient beings.

About Musl!m women vs. Women in western countries.
Women in these countries who claim a lot of women rights like the US and Europe, women are treated as sex objects. The guys love it when they are single, but don’t luke it fir their wifes and daughter.
Musl!ms don’t have that problem.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
But don’t like it for their wifes and daughters, sorry.

Look at how these women are treated here:
Porn, 3somes, half naked walking to get your attention. Is that better than hoe we treat our women?? I don’t think so.
You have more domestic crimes than we do, women are being hit and abused all over the world, it’s not an Arab issue!!!
May 30th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
If you don’t want your daughter to do something, then you shouldn’t do it to someone’s daughter!!!
We as Muslims do that.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Raider O, what is your faith?
May 30th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
O,
True. But, it’s freedom of choice. Because a lot of them make a lot of money as Sex Objects.
50% Divorce Rate: At least the woman can get out.
Muslim Men don’t have that problem.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Divorce is allowed in !slam. My parents are divorced.

I’m a Musl!m sir.

Thank you O, just trying to catch up.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Look at why people get divorced, cheating, abuse, loss of affection!!
We have a lower divirce rate, because we don’t have these problems AS Much as other western countries. We do have these problems, but on a smaller scale due to a lot of reason, but mainly religion.

Well I wasn’t trying to butt in. I have very strong opinions on religion. I am an evangelical Christian. I think we can agree on conservative values as it pertains to sexuality

Do all Christians and Musl!ms follow their faith exactly??
You have people that kill in the name of !slam and other religions!!
Don’t judge faith by the people that follow it, read about it yourself.
May 30th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Fear. The number one guiding priciple for all human cultures and subcultures.
This leads to brainwashing and a willingness to be brainwashed.
Fear of lack of control, fear of not fitting in, fear of being left out, fear of death. Fear of being wrong is brainwashed right out of the way.
Patriarchies in general fear women. The men just want to control their little bit of the gene pool. Nothing more. Patriarchals speak hypocritically of respecting women, when all they care about is owning a uterus.
Thus spake the anthropologist.
May 30th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Always liked Rod Woodson a true hall of famer who played the game the way it was meant to be played. He could easily trash the Raiders like the rest of the pack but, chooses to respect the things Al Davis has done right or wrong over a period of time that is unequaled by any owner.

I can’t speak to every sect and belief of Islam as it pertains to womens rights.
Chr!stianity teaches that men and women are equals. Men are suppossed to love their wives as Chr!st loved us.
Sex is reserved for marriage alone, and our culture reflects the opposite current humanistic philosophy, which gives allowance to all kinds of permissive attitudes.
May 30th, 2009 at 1:21 pm

I love Chr!st, and what he did for all humanity. I also believe that he will be back to show us the right way!
May 30th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
If you believe in god, then you have to believe in JC, Mohammad, and Moses. IMHO
May 30th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
In !slam, I shoud love and respect my Christian and J3w!sh brothers, as should they!!
You think this is what God wanted??!!
Killing each other in his name for land and economical reasons??
May 30th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Sorry, I had to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for my daughter.
Jesus is the crucial issue. He said He was God. The way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father except through Him.
I understand the Muslim belief of Chr!st.
The sin of shirk is to ascribe God partners, (the belief of a trinity).
Yet, this is my belief. Jesus is not a prophet as Muslims say, at least according to the Bible. Jesus left no alternative. He is either God as He says, or He is crazy and believed to be God, or He is a liar and horribly evil. But, He is NOT just a prophet.
May 30th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
STL,
I respect your opinion, and I know this can be a sensitive subjuct for Christians. That’s why I said I loved him and ended it there.
I don’t want to disrespect your faith!! And if that means to keep a few of my views to myself, I’m happy with that. You seem to have a good understanding of his my faith views Chr!st.

I can never call JC Crazy.
Even if he was or wasn’t God, of if he is God’s son or not, the man did a lit for all humans. So even if he wasn’t who you think he is, ( and I’m not daying that he isn’t) he did a lot for all of us!! If that’s crazy, then I don’t know what sanity is!!
May 30th, 2009 at 1:53 pm

It was a rhetorical question Bob. I asked that question knowing exactly how you felt, drug addled, in a haze, body screaming for more poison to drown out the real feelings that you ignore. Sound familiar? I know it does.
Honestly I could give a rat’s ass about your pathetic mess, I asked you how you felt just to remind YOU that you feel like SH1T. Norco’s a b1tch ain’t it? How’s your liver? Phychosis kickin’ in yet?
Time for you to wake up my friend and get off the narcotics. It’s fukking you up and you know it. I have seen it too many times, and mostly with people that actually have chronic pain. You take them to get high. Good luck with that.

Thank you sir, I agree.
Now, the Majority of this country are Christians, and they share your faith. Meaning they aksu view JC as God, correct?
So why disresoect him by having him in cartoons like family guy. Drinking, doing drugs, and much more?! Is that how you show respect to a God.
I’m all for freedom of speach and that’s why I live here, but that’s too much. IMHO

You do have a point, it’s not a Real Christian country anymore.
Took God out of schools, and put him in TV shows.
I’m a musl!n, and I don’t mind if you pray to your god or mine in the morning at school. It just feels good to know that there is religion and faith around you. Makes me feel really good.

It’s not a class, no one is forcing their religion on you, it’s just a prayer!!

I think you wanted to talk about JC being God, but I can’t for 2 reasons:
1- I haven’t read every Bible, or a even a sigle Bible.
2- I’m not that deep in my faith, to talk deeply on how it views JC and why.
I will let you know when I’m ready, this may need a lot of time!!
I’m so glad you shared your opinions today, I enjoyed reading all your posts.
May 30th, 2009 at 2:28 pm

May 30th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Thank you for the time.
I have looked into this deeply and have come to one conclusion.
Predictive prophecy shows us the truth.
We are all guilty of sin and deserve the Divine punishment of Hell.
Jesus bore our sins on the cross and offers us eternal life if we will repent of our sins and place our faith in Him.
No other faith holds to this belief.
God has reached down to us to give us an indescribable gift, everlasting life.
Jesus is God! Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The earlier comments by some about women in some societies was most apropos this day as it is the 578th anniversary of the execution of Jeanne D’Arc.
For the longest time I could not figure out Mark Twain’s hatred of the French people. He was a world traveller, an observationist.(And he did not have the politico manufactured crap that you all of the Freedom Fries ilk have.) Until a friend in Marin gave me a book written by Sieur Louis de Conte. (Another pseudonym of Samuel Clemens).
Twain hated the French for one reason. They betrayed Jeanne D’Arc to the English after she led them against the English. That girl was regarded by S Langhorne Clemens as the single greatest incarnation since Jesus of Nazareth.
Norco. I am certain that Christ does not hate you for your views. He has dealt with much worse. Good luck with avidya.

Doc, I think you’ll see much better play from the Dline. If teams stack the box against Russell, it will result in fireworks. I can only hope throughout the season teams load up against the running game. Please do, not only will the fail to stop it but with our speed outside we’ll shred their secondaries.
IMO it will speed up Russell’s development. So we’ll see.
May 30th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
If jruss and crew can move the ball and score that will be the dline best friend , make teams throw against our secondary and lb it is our strength.
May 30th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
STL,
I have been thinking about what we talked about all day, and this is just a thought and an opinion.
Christianity originated from the midd east, and Human Gods are not part of that Atea’s culture. At the time of JC, the area was under Roman occupation. Romans believe in human gods and have a full history of such men.
Now, what if that had an influence on JC being viewed as a God?
What if he never really said that, but was forced into a bible and a religion adopted by that empire?
This is just a thought, you know I don’t mean any disrespect. I’m only sharing my thoughts, I have not read the Bible yet, or did any research. Just a thought that I wanted to hear your opinion on.
May 30th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Correction:
1- just a thought and NOT an opinion.
2- but what if that idea was forced into the Bible and a religion adopted by that empire after JC?
Sorry!
May 30th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
STL,
And I also have a question sir.
JC was born of the Virgin Mary. she was human, so why is JC a God?
No disrespect, but you told me to ask away, and I’m very interested in JC due to my love for him. lol
May 30th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
STL,
By the way,
My favorite thing about JC, was how he used to create a bird of clay then give it life!!
May 30th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
STL,
I found this:
The Qur’an said, God strengthened JC with the Holy Spirit. What does that mean, now I have to find out more about that!!!!
See what you have started!!

I watched the Carolina game tonight. If our defense plays that well most of the time this year and we were able to score say 20+ points a game. We could win 10+ games this year. Aside from a 69 yarder by D Willimas we dominated that game defensively.
That was a very good defensive game and showed what we are capable of when we attack. I saw the same thing in the Houston game, we just dominated defensively. Except in the Houston game we scored points early.
AW started the Carolina game and Russell didn’t play. AW was aweful. Guy’s a competent offense and I think we win 9+ games with our defense. Warren, Sands and Kelly were dominant. Same as the Houston game and the Jets game and some others.
Our defense is going to be really good IMO. I’m excited.
May 31st, 2009 at 1:21 am
I have some amazing insider news from Alameda,…but its late, nobody here,..so if anyonereminds me tomorrow I will pass it on. I have had too many Pills and when you do that they keep you up all night,…so there ya have it.
May 31st, 2009 at 1:23 am
Raider O you are a complete loser,…idiot…a-hole,…you and all these cute little religious posts do not make you look clever, witty, funny,..you are only exposed for your true self,..an empty headed loser with no life, no real people in the ral world to talk this way too,…was a time you were a decent poster in here,..the truth is youre the biggest dork in here.
May 31st, 2009 at 1:25 am
One thing the registration did,..is somewhat defuse MR,..MR was at least good for entertainment,..losers like Raider O makes Raider fans look gay.
May 31st, 2009 at 1:30 am
TJ old friend,…seriously,..you stayed home on a friday night and watched that Carolina game?…please call Gary, but do not mention what you did on a friday night, or you will be banned again.

What up 4eva and what’s up with da Raiders!!!!
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!
May 31st, 2009 at 5:18 am
Lazy Sunday NMF and its all looking up 4 da Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 31st, 2009 at 5:28 am
For anybody who thinks local fans “liked” the raiders just because they were the “home team” never lived through the afl-afc blood feuds of the late 60’s-70’s (chiefs,jets,broncos,steelers,dolphins,pats), the horrible LA 80’s… plus having to watch Joe Cool playing next door.
It’s always been the attitude – period.
The Raiders were never, ever considered good wholesome family entertainment by bay area fans. People were always looking for an excuse to bail and fans and local media jumped on the 49′ers so fast you thought the raiders never existed. Trust me. I was a kid but I was there.
May 31st, 2009 at 5:49 am
If Jesus was available in the draft, Al wouldn’t take him because his 40 time was too slow.
May 31st, 2009 at 7:08 am
The Raider Experience as a fan and probably even as a player will not go on forever.
When Al Davis moves on, it will not be the same, it might even be intolerable for original Raider fans to continue being fans.
The way Al runs things is a large part of the attraction to this team, along with the attitude, colours and uniforms. They are all products of the mind of Al Davis. Hopefully they can find someone to take-over that can somehow continue that without looking like a cheap imitation. I doubt it.
May 31st, 2009 at 7:12 am
I’d have to disagree, Kirk, Hendricks, Matuzak & Stabler would have forced Al into taking him because he could turn Gatorade into wine. He could run precise routes on the wet field that Al watered & leave DBs behind. Besides Al could fire the trainer because JC could take over 2 jobs & no more injuries. Sundays would be no problem because Sat. was the holy day.
May 31st, 2009 at 7:40 am
So are we done with free agent signings? I love the Neal and Garcia signings, but I’d like to see a solid veteran picked up on the DL.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:41 am
Raider o.
I can answer all those, but I think we should take that conversation elsewhere.
I am not a computer guy, I don’t even have an e-mail. My wife said if you have a facebook account you can add me in without all the ibabuzz garbage following us(no offense guys).
May 31st, 2009 at 8:53 am
Bob,
That’s funny!!! lol
Are you out of pills??!!!
Are you lonely???
Need all these pills to fill the void in your soul and lonely life??!!
Norco, stop being an attention whore!!!
May 31st, 2009 at 8:54 am
Let’s go to the prev thread, ok?
May 31st, 2009 at 9:02 am
STL,
I dont have a facebook account!
We can talk on the prev thread.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:11 am
Raider O,
We can try that. But I’m leaving with the family now. I will catch up with you later.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:18 am
Later STL, just let me know when you are ready.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:26 am
I know this bolg is for Raider Fans and the topic should alway be the Raiders. I’m sorry for all the other topics, but I didn’t feel that I was bothering anyone.
Bob,
If you want me to stop, why not ask me? Do you have to insult me?
It’s fans like you that make us look ignorant!!! Stop, you CAN be better than that!!
May 31st, 2009 at 9:37 am
Rod is a Hall of Famer. U gotta respect that along with his opinion about the current Raiders affairs. I will say this, Mr. Davis has been in a Super Bowl or AFC Championship Game in every decade with a former Raiders assistant coach. He’s made what seems to be some questionable management and player personnel moves through it all yet he keeps rolling. Every single NFL franchise has had downfall. Raiders obviously included. Mr. Davis earned the right to sink with his ship and rebuild it with his old methods mixed in with some new ones. Coach Cable is yet another former Raider assistant coach. With yet another so-called mediocre QB. With yet another “track star” at WR. with yet another “shut down” CB on one side. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for you Raiders fans just like every other teams’ fans. Allow Big Al his one last ride and let him do it his early AGAIN. He has at least one more Super Bowl appearance left in him. Just Win Baby. Congrats to Rod, the Hall of Famer.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:38 am
O,..youre a dork and you know it,…I believe you are someone that used to post with multiple names before the Nazis took over and made us register,…Im hoping your Raider blogh persona is fake, that you arent this whiney bitch Raider fan who is always laughing, always using exclamation points, is always so cheerful,…going overboard with politeness to other dorks,…hopefully you are a regular dude in real life, not the bitch you are in here.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:54 am
I will be at the Raider Image in Roseville this afternoon,..Kenny Stabler, Freddie,..and dozens of legends signing today for the Stacy B Foundation,..then tomorrow is the golf event in Licoln, which of course I will be at because someone in Alameda invited me. If any of you mental defectives can pry yourselves off the couch today you should go see the legends and donate to the foundation.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:57 am
Norco,
No, im nit Fake, I’m the same person, and I don’t use diff names.
You are right about one thing, I’m a Dork, and even a bigger Dork got talking to someone who keeps insulting me!!
May 31st, 2009 at 9:57 am
Who you are in secret, you are in your own mind and body. If you are a name caller incognito or in secret, that’s who you are. If you are disrespectful to others incognito, you are a disrespectful person in your own mind and body as well. If you’re a nice person in secret or incognito, you’re a nice person in your own mind and body. You are who you are. It is what it is. One can be a faker but it’s very hard for the average person to fake who they really are, even incognito or in secret. I hope that helps certain Raiders fans on this thread.

Do be polite is not a weakness, but an indication of strength.
I know who I am, and there is a reason to my politeness.
I’m a very proud man, and I don’t allow people to disrespect me.
What is the best way to stop people from disrespecting me??
It’s to be kind, respectful, love others and treat them the way I want to be treated.
Now after I do all that. If they keep disrespecting me, then I use a diff way to treat them.
Every action has a reaction!!
May 31st, 2009 at 10:15 am
You don’t know me, so PLEASE stop judging me and insulting me.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:18 am
What is wrong with these people.
You see a calm guy, so you insult him, call him a b!tch, and think his weak!!!
You would rather have someone who is angry and cruel!!!
I’m out!! Later Nation.

The best way to treat the ” attention whore” is to ignore the whore. The only thing Boob wants is to aggravate probably because he hates himself & everyone else anyway. His opinions are worthles because someone who thinks JR is a bust after 16 games is not in his right mind.
Ignore the whore.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:28 am
I thought he was a bust before his first game, I never waited til after 16th game you idiot.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:31 am
We don’t need Russell to be the savior just a QB that manages the game at this point.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:32 am
Ya snot, thats what the number one overall is for, thats what 65 million is for,..to hopefully manage a game,..lol.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:33 am

May 31st, 2009 at 10:35 am
Some people just get lucky and hit the lottery in Russells case it was the RAiders
May 31st, 2009 at 10:36 am
Ya,…he hit the lottery and sets the team back at least 5 more year,..at the minimum 3 years because after this failure in 2009 he will be let go.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:37 am
I want him cut today,..let Garcia play in 2009 and start over with Tebow next year,..Tebow way better then Russell.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:37 am
Norco
Are you applying the theory “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:38 am
I agree this year its either chit or get off the pot.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:39 am
I dont apply theories dude. I state facts. Russell is a bust but there are some that live in denial.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:40 am
Keep your friends close and your enemas closer.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:42 am
Im out, on way to Roseville to see Snake and Freddie and the legends,..you all enjoy your day in the house pretending to have a life….by the way, wipe off your computer screens once in a while so your mom doesnt see what youre up to when shes out of the room.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:44 am
Norco
Great! Have a great day, and have some fun. Please ask Snake why he thinks Jamarcus will be successful.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:47 am
Bob will be the guy wearing the Russell jersey at the Raider event today .
May 31st, 2009 at 11:05 am
Raider O, do your best to ignore Bob. He’s miserable and it’s sad.
Just the fact that he keep asking me to please call Gary tells you all you need to know. He’s in pain a much worse form than physical.
Plus the fact that he called Russell a bust before ever seeing him play? What does that tell ya’
Norco Bob you’re a much better person than you think you are, stop drowning in your past. Your present and your future need you.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:06 am
What’s happening in Raiderville is that many fanatics are forgetting that some QBs still take the Jim Plunkett and Terry Bradshaw road to success. There are many roads to success and failure but one should not be judged two miles down the road. JaMarcus certainly hasn’t travelled the Ben Roethlisberger, Flacco or the Falcons’ QB road to early success but perhaps he’ll travel the Bradshaw and Plunkett road. Give him two more years. I will say that the money these first picks like him and Stafford are getting is crazy. Hopefully, that will be changing soon with the next CBA. The Raiders are not far away from on-the-field success. That’s coming from someone who is not a Raiders fan, on the outside looking in. The team I root for just won the Super Bowl. The Steelers have a different management method but the Raiders are accumulating the piece again with their own method. I see playoffs for McF, JR, Nnamdi, DHB and Cable by 2010.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:39 am
Very few people realize that John Elway, Peyton Manning and Troy Aikman threw twice as many int’s as TD’s in their rookie years. All 3 will be in the HOF. In Peyton’s 2nd season he threw as many int’s as TD’s 23 each. Elway in his 2nd season threw 22 int’s and 22 TD’s. And is truth be told Big Ben’s first season was very shaky eventhough they won. Joe flacco’s 1st season was less than stellar but they won otherwise he didn’t have a better season than Russell but the perception is that he did, because they won.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:41 am
Oh! BTW all 3 Elway, Manning and Aikman won a grand total of 7 games while Russell won 5 on a bad team.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:47 am
You’re right Lynn, Narco will be the guy with a JR jersey turned inside out, half tuked in, dull gaze in his eyes, popping p!lls in front of Stabler, and staggering in a v!cod!n stupor.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:52 am
So true. I was just tuning in to Live Wire on NFL Network. It was, coincidentally, talking about the early struggles of Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw, Peyton Manning and comparing them to young QBs whose teams had success in their first years like Matt Ryan, Flacco and Ben. Let’s face it, football is still a team sport and sometimes a QB’s early weaknesss can be covered up by his running game, O-line and defense as was Flacco’s, Ryan’s and Big Ben’s. JR wasn’t afforded that luxury. He must show an increase in his level of understanding line protection calls, audibling and simple reads this season, though. He must be a difference maker.
May 31st, 2009 at 12:40 pm
They were showing bit and pieces of the win at Denver wished they would have showed the whole thing, man I hate the whites the Silver&Blacks are the best jersey ever but those whites .
May 31st, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I’m watching the ‘83 SB with Marcus Allen, Howie Long and all the greats. The HOFers in this game are incredible. Flores should be one as well as Branch and Ray Guy.
I’ll tell ya’ Matt Millen isn’t thought of as a HOFer but maybe he should be. So should maybe Rod Martin and Lester Hayes.
May 31st, 2009 at 2:05 pm
It was the largset margin of victory in the history of SB’s at that time. Later shattered by the Bears
May 31st, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Everyone knows the Raiders will be a running team this year. I believe DHB was drafted to add to that. Not necessarily by going deep, but he runs a VERY good end around.
Look for DHB to get a lot of his tounches behind the line of scrimmage this year.
May 31st, 2009 at 2:20 pm
priesttj I can’t even watch that tape Black Sunday without getting teary eyed, to not only win big in the SB but to destroy the defending champs !!!
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!
May 31st, 2009 at 3:22 pm
DHB on the ground:
The team’s continued struggles at quarterback saw the junior receiver be used more often out of the backfield as a runner. For the third consecutive season, he led the Terps with 41 catches for 609 yards (14.5 avg) that included five touchdowns. He carried 13 times, totaling 202 yards with a score, averaging 13.5 yards per rushing attempt and 14.23 yards each time he touched the ball. – NFL.com

The Denver game was more like a traditional Raider win. They won inspite of some horrid flags by the refs, bad goal line calls and some solid, disiplined defense.
It was awesome…

How did the NFL rank that team as the 20th best SB champ?
Top ten easy.
May 31st, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Looking at the schedule I would hope that we really try to get the passing offense going in the first 4 games, before we play the Giants in NY. The first 4 teams we play had pretty soft pass defenses and didn’t rack up a lot of sacks last year.
We’re going to need a very balanced offense to beat the likes of the Giants, Eagles and Jets before the bye. The Jets can be had in the air but their run defense and pressure on the QB is very good. You also have to believe they’ll be out for some revenge. However, if the defense plays solid and we get the passing and running offense somewhere around competent by week 5 we could be looking at 5-3 or better going into the bye.
Trying not to be such a homer but a 10 win season isn’t all that crazy with this schedule. It will mostly ride on Jamarcus and staying healthy but the west can be had this year!
May 31st, 2009 at 6:45 pm
NMF, that wasn’t ‘Black Sunday’, it was the entire game on DVD start to finish.
May 31st, 2009 at 6:45 pm
I think we have very talented defensive tackles here. The thing about run stopping and things like that, I think the first thing is we’ve got to fundamentally work on our tackling, which we’re going to address. There’s a couple things in our scheme that we’re getting fixed, you just blame me for.. I know we could have done better. We’ve got that worked out. We’re tired of watching tape. We can’t wait to get started back at it. Obviously, moving Tommy Kelly inside is going to be huge for us. And also, Gerard Warren is out here working every single day. We’re excited about those guys, no question about it.
-Rob Ryan, May 2008
May 31st, 2009 at 6:48 pm
The run game is kind of addressed a couple of ways. I think that we’ve gotta coach better and clean up some things in terms of what we’re doing, system-wise. I think we’ve addressed that by the coaching staff we’ve hired. And then we’ve got to get better at the linebacker spot. And when I say better, I mean more depth there. That’s really a key for us. You look what happens who we lose a guy, and then we kind of have to piecemeal it together. So this gives us a chance to not have that issue. Mitchell definitely upgrades us if any of you have taken the time to look at him now and see what he is physically. We feel a lot better about it. So we’ve got some good tackles on this football team. They’ve gotta play like it.
-Tom Cable, April 2009
May 31st, 2009 at 6:52 pm
MY proclamation: This year the laughter stops and the fear begins. I’m not going to say when but at some point this year the Raiders will become a team nobody is anxious to play.
May 31st, 2009 at 6:59 pm
BHP… i think we will turn some heads this year for sure
May 31st, 2009 at 7:18 pm

How do expect us to react to your self mutilation?
May 31st, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Whew!! I’m terrified Bob.
May 31st, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Priest,
You are so extremely optimistic. Pleas explain why.
May 31st, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Extremely optimistic? did I mention Super Bowl or something? From laughing stock to competitive is extremely optimistic?…………figure it out yourself. 3 -4 more wins is not unfathomable. 4 wins and we’re 9-7, 5 wins 10-6. We weren’t that far from that last year if Cable coaches the entire season we win 8-9 games easy.
May 31st, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Hey guys is are there otas this week? and I maybe late in saying this but possilbe reasons DHB was drafted is because we have a score from anywhere threat in JLH (Maclin) and a big possession receiver in Schilens (Crabtree).
May 31st, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Hey mods,why delete 833,please explain!
May 31st, 2009 at 7:59 pm
OTA June 2-4.
I only discovered recently that NFL Films has released many super bowls in their entirety, not highlights, on DVD. What a treat, since I was only 8 when I first watched the Raiders rip the Redskins in SB 18. I’ve seen all 3. Just watched SB 15, but 18 is by far my favorite. How a team with that much young talent didn’t contine to win throughout the 80s, I don’t know. Maybe it was Mark Wilson replacing Plunkett?
May 31st, 2009 at 8:03 pm
What improvements have been made to garner five more wins??
May 31st, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Just say you disagree Dude, whatever. State you own case I’ve stated mine.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Yeah! that game was fun to revisit some of the players I forgot were ever on that team. Like Mike Davis at SS and Odis McKinney at rover. Frank Hawkins was one heck of a FB for guy that went 5′8′ 220. And Rod Martin was dominant at Wil LB.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:15 pm
They have made NO improvements to a team that has lost 11 or more games six years in a row. The o-line is patch work at best, the WRs are below avg, the QB is as inconsistent as there is, the d is exactly the same as last year and the coaching staff is among the worst assmebled in the league. That does not equal a 5 game improvement. You havent mad a case, all your foolishness is based on best case scenario dreamland sheet.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I cant wait to see Schilens this year. His combine numbers were even more impressive then DHB. Schilens had a 4.38 40yd, 43 in vertical and is 6′4″ 210 and he is a really good run blocker.
With some time to develop, Schilens and DHB will be a very dangerous combo in a few years. Especially with JLH in the slot and Zack Miller at TE.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:21 pm
The Raiders are very talented, but they are very young. Even Al Davis admits that we are a few years away from really competing. Im just relieved that they finally committed to really rebuilding this team instead of trying to plug holes like they tried after the Suerbowl.
I honestly believe that in a few years we can easily be a perenial playoff team.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Mark Wilson really disappointed me. When he was drafted I thought he would be better. He did take us to the Championship game but we lost to NE and NE got killed by the Bears. That was a very difficult game to lose. However I don’t think anyone could’ve beat the ‘85 Bears the closest we got to the SB after that was the drubbing in Buffalo in ‘90 then it was a very dry period after Art Shell like the last 6 years until Gruden in ‘99.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Jamarcus Russell is not a playoff QB, never will be. Cares more about partying, eating pizza and wearing furs than he does working to be a better QB.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Thanks Raidertay for making my case for me. See Dude I’m not as nuts as you might think……jeeesh. Or is it Dudette?
May 31st, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Dude, Can you name 5 Miami Dophin players. They went from 1-15 to 11-5 without a very good team. Can you name their Wrs. Its the NFL… any given Sunday any team can beat any team.

JR is not a horrible QB. Especially considering that he had no Wr and no LT for most of the season.
I believe that JR has the talent to be one of the best QBs to ever play. I remember that many ‘experts’ said that Eli was to laid back to ever be a good QB.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Bill Parcells. If he was the new Raider GM then there would be a chance. Nothing has changed in Oakland, Al has just brought in another puppett to “coach” the team.

if trent dilfer can win a superbowl than any qb can win a playoff game with the right team.

Work ethic to make the talent work- NO

Dude never said that. Big bad BLACKDEATH( oooohhhh scary) said it.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Dude…post 840:
You make some good, obvious, points about the present statute of the Raiders. Hard to argue the facts. However, we do have some possible offensive potential in various players stepping up. Fat ass, pizza lover, fur coat wearing QB Russell may, I said may, step up. It’s too early to call him a bust, especially after the last two season games last year. McFadden could be super star and the jury is still out on Bush because he hasn’t been given a consistent opportunity. Miller at tight end, is the real deal and should give us increased production.
So, all in all, I know pre-season doesn’t mean much, but we have to hold our judgements until then. Our season opener will be a big indicator in the direction we move this year. Hopefully you’re wrong on your points, but they sure have a lot of merit???
May 31st, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Cancun,
Well said and I agree with all you say. Thats not how most on here put it however. They blindly assume stardom for every player drafted by the Raiders despit hard evidence saying otherwise.

May 31st, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Blackdeath that was a great listen. I’m sorry about the Wilson comment it wasn’t Wilson but Jay Shroeder that took us to the Championship game vs Buffalo.
Boy! don’t ever say anything wrong or make a mistake in here. Nothing but perfect people. I sometimes lump those two together their accomplishments being so similar. Please forgive me Norco Bob for misspeaking.
But honestly speaking I thought both those guy’s (Schroeder and Wilson) took us to the Championship game. Guess I’m getting old.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:25 pm
BOB,WHO IS Gary,a superstar of some sort? Who cares if a radio niner homer banned you from his program,hip hip hooray! TJ is not always right,nor are YOU,and all the rest of us!But Robert,you seem to be a hater,what,a displaced niner fan in the wrong year? at some point we will win,not sure you Want Winning again,its a shame on you,sir! RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!

May 31st, 2009 at 8:15 pm
They have made NO improvements to a team that has lost 11 or more games six years in a row. The o-line is patch work at best, the WRs are below avg, the QB is as inconsistent as there is, the d is exactly the same as last year and the coaching staff is among the worst assmebled in the league. That does not equal a 5 game improvement. You havent mad a case, all your foolishness is based on best case scenario dreamland sheet.
*****************
Now you’re not being objective…haven’t you heard of addition by subtraction? Just getting rid of Kwame “Turnstile” Harris ALONE just improved the LT position. But let’s discuss your points:
1. O-line. They cut Harris, and are looking to plug either Mario Henderson (who played well when he was given the shot–but he was in Kiff’s doghouse for some reason) or any of the three FA O linemen that they signed.
2. WR. Yes, this bunch is below average, but IT IS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER LAST SEASON. They did cut Curry and Lelie, and if (and this is a big IF) the O line can give JRuss time, you’ll see JLH and Schilens make plays. I expect DHB to snag maybe 40 balls, and anywhere from 5-7 TDs. The big question, of course, is Javon Walker…
3. Russell’s development. Give it time…go look up Elway’s, Bradshaw’s and Aikman’s QB ratings their rookie years. You’ll find that they are ALL lower than Russell’s 1st year QB rating. Paul Hackett will now be the QB coach, and let’s be real–the kid has had three–THREE OCs in the 2 years he’s been here. Now he’s on his second HC. You try and learn Mandarin Chinese and then in your second year, try and learn Arabic (football termininology IS like learning a foreign language)–and all the while trying to do this behind a crumbling O line. Contrary to popular belief, QBs like Matt Ryan or Ben Roethelisberger (successful rookie QBs) are the EXCEPTION, NOT THE RULE.
4. “The D is the same as last year.” It’s pretty clear that you don’t keep up with the team on a consistent, week to week basis. The club not only cut that overrated DHall (granted, that was Al’s doing in getting him in the first place), but also Gibril Wilson and benched Huff. They resigned both Asomugha and Chris Johnson, and drafted Mike Mitchell. Trevor Scott is a DE that they are looking to use to play alongside Burgess (if not outright replace him). The MOST IMPORTANT change, however, will the playcalling and schemes of John Marshall, the new DC.
5. “The coaching is among the worst assembled in the league.”
John Marshall-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Marshall_(American_football)
Ted Tollner–en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Marshall_(American_football)
Dwaine Board–/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwaine_Board
I don’t know why you’d think these coaches were “among the worst in the league,” they all have experienced levels of success at both the college and NFL level.
As to their 2099 win-loss record? I’m thinking anywhere from 7-9 wins are possible, based on the schedule. We can have hope, can’t we?
May 31st, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Dude you absolutely do wish you could’ve accomplished 1/10 of what Al Davis has or else you wouldn’t be in here everyday. Spewing hatred about someone you don’t even know.
You know damn well you wish you could be the HC of the Oakland Raiders. But you never will be. So unfortunate.
May 31st, 2009 at 9:51 pm
2009 record is I’m sure what you meant. But great rubuttle just the same.
You have to excuse Dude, he’s got issues.

May 31st, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Where do I even start with Deserts post……
1- The oline is patchwork. Thats not arguable. Mario looks like he could be a player, but he had alot of help from the backs and TE last year. Have to wait and see with him. Other than Gallery the rest of the crew are fringe NFLers.
2- DHB wont even approach those numbers. No Raider reciever will.
3- Watched every game the Raiders have played since the invention of NFL ticket so whatever. Cutting Gibril Wilson hurts the d. LOL @ the Mitchell pick being a positive. And LOL @ the comment on Marshall calling the d as a difference maker. Al Davis is the d coordinator.
4- Tolner and Cable= Walsh and Shell. Cable would have never had a shot at any other NFL gig. He got the job because he is a good ass kisser. Nothing less, nothing more. Experience automatically makes them good coaches? Yeah, ok.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Oh, T Howard is talking up his teammates?? Shocker!!! That MUST mean they are legit. Check the mirror if you want to see a laughingstock. Now shut up and go check Al’s diaper.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Success makes them good coaches……man this guy is clueless. These are all successful and are well thought of coaches throughout the league. Dude, think before you post.
Ted Tollner and and the coaches in Indy are cut from the same cloth. Paul Hackett is a very accomplished QB coach, one of the very best.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Yeah, they are all so well thought of that the Raider gig is all they could land. Hackett is SOOOO great he didnt even have an official job last year. Where is all the success you mention?? Hackett at SC? Cable at Idaho? Tollner at SDSU? Well thought of coaches dont coach the Raiders. Period.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:14 pm
882,AMEN
May 31st, 2009 at 10:15 pm
You think Tommy Howard is gonna say anything bad about his teammates? If he thought Russell was a fat, lazy bum. Would he say that? No, he wouldnt.
Howd that SF passing game fare with Tollner helping out last year??

Sounds like more excuses to me. Cue Priest saying something to Paver about how clueless Dude is.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Here’s some help Dude, a lifeline if you will. Have ever seen JTO play QB?, now what can a QB coach do for that?…
Mike Martz’s offense takes 2-3 years to install and he and Samarai Mike didn’t see eye to eye. That’s what happened, but I’m sure that went right over your head.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Where is the success you speak of? Last time I will ask. Deny that you work for the Raiders.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Dude
“who was he going to help first” IMO is a great question when you look at the confusion over there. Martz starts the guy who knows his system but can’t play. When if he had went with (whatever his name is) from the beginning, they may have made the playoffs.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Thats what I thought Priest. Keep on spewing garbage with absolutely no merit.

Previewing Oakland Raiders OTA week two
The stories coming out of minicamp and the first OTA session revolve around JaMarcus Russell’s accuracy issues. In addition, there should be updates on the rookies now that their college commitments are over. Derrick Burgess’s status is a whispered backdrop, and there is more drama sure to unfold.
Here is what I will be looking for whilst at camp on Wednesday:
JaMarcus Russell’s accuracy. Can’t expect him to have Rich Gannon-like precision after two weeks, but I will report as to whether there has been improvement since the last OTA, or whether there has been regression.
Darrius Heyward-Bey should be present at this workout. After he had a mixed bag at the first minicamp, and then missing half of it with injury, it will be good to get a chance to reassess the status of his alleged issues with his hands.
Derrick Burgess won’t be in camp. Read nothing into that, he doesn’t have to be by rule. However, I will be reporting on the status of the defensive line without Burgess.
It will be interesting to see if the turnout is as high as it was two weeks prior.
I am not expecting to see Andrew Walter. As bad as Bruce Gradkowski has been, Walter is missing an opportunity to remain a Raider. Perhaps, that is what he wants.
Danny Southwick could make a move on Gradkowski for the third string position. Will be interesting to see if he gets any reps.
Todd Watkins and Chaz Schilens have both been having great camps. Will they continue to have the appearance of breaking out?
I will provide an injury update once I get that information from Coach Tom Cable.

That’s the first time I’ve heard anybody mention Watkins’ name this offseason. Jerry Mac & David White both keeping talking up Chaz Schilens and Jonathan Holland. Even Murphy has raised some eyebrows.
Wasn’t Watkins solid in camp last year? I remember reading articles saying that besides Drew Carter he looked like our best receiver out there. Then come regular season he got maybe 5 passes thrown his way the entire season and finished with no catches …

I hate going to graduations and weddings. the social aspect is cool before the start of the event, but after that you’re bored out of your mind and you wonder when it’s going to hurry up and end. heh
Went to a wedding in Oklahoma last weekend (memorial day weekend!).
drove 6 hours there. I was an usher, my wife was a bridesmaid (it was her cousin’s wedding). smiled for pictures, went throught the motions, shook hands with the groom I had never met. drove 6 hours back home the same day. started pouring down rain on the way home. sweetness. talk about a long day. woke up at 4am and got to bed at 11:30. woke up at 7am to get ready for church the next morning

{Todd Watkins and Chaz Schilens have both been having great camps. Will they continue to have the appearance of breaking out?}
New to me as well hadn’t heard anything from Watkins Corner…But the more the merrier never enough healthy bodies in that WR spot!1 hope these two tear it up!!!!How many WR’s will we carry Double R and if ol toddie boy steps up whose spot does he take who goes to the practice squad??
June 1st, 2009 at 8:30 am
Thanks Oaklifer, but now its trophy or bust time. I’m not like Lefty12 and just happy to see the team in the finals…I gotta have the 4 wins!!!!
Howard and Lewis are going to be a major matchup problem! Do you play Bynum on Howard and hope Gasol can close out on Lewis’ 3 pointers and that Lewis can’t guard Gasol? Or do you play Gasol on Howard and Odom on Lewis?
And is their point guard that killed us coming back? If he does will he be rusty and ruin their team chemistry?
Schit…I’m getting an ulcer.
June 1st, 2009 at 8:31 am
I had been wondering about watkins and shields so I’m happy one of them is looking good imagine to go from the worst wr core ever to a young speedy one making plays Chaz,Jlh,DHB and watkins sure sounds better than curry,lelie,walker.

***************************************************
After finishing his college career, Watkins pursued a career in professional football. For many NFL teams, he was an intriguing prospect. He possessed the physical tools needed to have success in the pros: great size (6-foot-3) and strength (325-pound bench press) combined with terrific speed (4.28 seconds in the 40-yard dash). He also showed an ability to out-leap defenders and make difficult catches. Per-Wikipedia
This kid has the tools to be a good NFl receiver & deep threat, I would like to see him earn a spot in our line up he may be one of the only three WR’s we have that know the offense and have been around J-russ
June 1st, 2009 at 8:34 am
Howard worries me the most but who will guard Kobe, Celts had 3 hall of famers who were not going to be denied a title but Howard is beast.

Dakota,
I made the 5+ hour drive to MN myself (St. Paul area)this weekend and gorged on great golf. 60+ holes in 2 days. Jebus am I sunburned! And windburned…gusts were over 30mph. Showering this AM was agony.
But all is right in the sports world. LaBron got beat AND butt hurt, bummer. LAKERS in 4!
I think Ariza can guard Lewis, and they can rotate Bynum and Mbenga on Howard. If they foul out we won’t miss their 4 points of offense.
June 1st, 2009 at 8:48 am
I just think its too late for a lot of those guys. Figure that Cable will keep 6 receivers?
DHB, Schilens, JLH, Murphy are rock solid locks due to production or draft status
So that leaves two more slots.
Javon Walker probably makes it…but gets cut if he implodes, doesn’t practice or continues to show injury problems
For the rest of the group (Shields, Watkins, Holland UFAs) they really have to stand out in camp. Be dominant. One guy will definitely make the roster…for a 2nd person to make it….they would have to significantly outperform Javon Walker.
June 1st, 2009 at 8:52 am
How many WR’s will we carry Double R and if ol toddie boy steps up whose spot does he take who goes to the practice squad??
***
I think our WR corps will consist of: Heyward-Bey, Schilens, Higgins, Murphy, Holland and Walker.
Shields may be eligible for the practice squad, but Watkins isn’t. Holland is also eligible since he spent 2007 on IR and was active for fewer than 9 games last year.
Here’s what it comes down to imo. Can Watkins, Holland, Parker, Franklin or one of the undrafted rookies make an impression strong enough to persuade the coaching staff and Al Davis that Javon Walker isn’t worth the roster spot/investment ???

Mornin SnB,
I agree 6 is a good number and its prob between Shields and Watkins depends on who stays healthy I supose. You really think Murphy is a lock I know he was on our board as the 2nd receiver in the draft but is that alone enough to make him a lock?
June 1st, 2009 at 8:57 am

I ran to my locker room (garage) after game 6 of last year’s finals, so I didn’t see if Kobe hung around congratulating the Celtics…but I do know he spoke to the media afterwards…Lebron chickened out of even that part of it. My wife and I stayed up Saturday night waiting to watch Lebron’s presser after the loss and we were very disappointed we couldn’t watch his squirm.

NMF: Looks like we’ve replaced Ronald Curry, Ashley Lelie and Drew Carter with Darrius Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy and Will Franklin …
Shields & Walker still can’t get healthy. Samie Parker is garbage. the undrafted kids are destined for the practice squad unless we can place Shields, Holland or Franklin there. Watkins has been impressive in camp for the second straight season. He’d be easier to part ways with than anybody else, because we have no investment in him. No big money contract or the use of a draft pick. just a scrub we claimed off waivers (like Franklin and Gradkowski)

June 1st, 2009 at 9:13 am
So Holland is your pick to emege from the rest of the young guys???
***
here are the choices for a 5th or 6th WR:
Javon Walker, John Holland, Todd Watkins, Will Franklin, Samie Parker, Nick Miller, Shawn Bayes
Walker is injured. Holland & Watkins have been impressive.
We drafted Holland (6 foot, 195 lbs) out of Lousiana Tech the same year we drafted Russell. He’s not as tall as Watkins (6-2, 191 lbs), but at least he hasn’t washed out with 2 other teams. The Cards & Falcons didn’t think Watkins was good enough to keep on the practice squad. Drafted in Round 7 of 2006, maybe it just took him a while to develop? Going into Season #4 if he still can’t latch on an NFL roster even as a depth player he’s probably out of the league …

Hey! Well what do you know?
A NFL analyst who is actually OBJECTIVE when it comes to talking about the Raiders, without making a fool out of himself and being unprofessional!

Yes sir..Work is real tough in cali right now..first time ive been out of work this long in 20 years..i run a paving machine and finish blade (grader)
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
I know.
Well I fall back to what I just said. 27,000 copies of the New Testament don’t lie.
Internal and external evidence.
Historical accuracy.
Early date of authorship.
Coinciding with Old testament prophecies.
Archeological veracity.
Also the Dead Sea scrolls found in the 1940’s have verified the Old Testament as incredibly reliable as well.

we’ve been robbed!
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:27 pm
And only altered in one way, to show Christ as God, or the son of God.
They also believe that he will be back.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:29 pm
O you are the last person i would say that would disrepect anything…so dont worry about asking questions…..thats like me not wanting to make fun of you out of respect…forget about it
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
WOW mods over here at 10:30
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
1940s scrolls. I forgot all about that.
As you know, I’m a musl!m but I can’t just dismiss an entire religion.
So I’m trying to find out more info from both sides.
He created life!!! Clay birds that became real!!! Something a God would do!!
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Well you’ll be hard pressed to prove that.
Look Jesus didn’t only say He was God He showed it.
He forgave sins.
Accepted worship.
Claimed equality with the Father.
Claimed eternality.
Rose from the dead!
His followers sure understood all that, the entire New Testament is all about it. If the bible has been changed then it must have been re-written because all of it claims Jesus’ divinity.
John 1:1,14 In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God,…and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:34 pm
The clay birds are not in the bible.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Buy why would God keep stressing the idea in !slam? And in J3wdasim?
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:36 pm
What idea?
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Sorry,
He healed and gave life!!
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:37 pm
That Christ is not the son of God, or God.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Do you mean why wouldn’t he stress the idea in the koran?
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Did Christ say anything before his miracles that is stated in the Bible?
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Can you be more specific.
Also I still don’t understand post 973.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:44 pm
STL,
Yes, he stressed the idea that Christ wasn’t ….
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:20 pm
R8,
Like I said before, I’m new to religion. Both my patents are Musl!ms, but they never forced the idea on me. After a few things that happened to me, I became ready to learn and understand the word of God.
Who is to day who is right and wrong, I have to believe in Christ as a Musl!m, and as a person who believes in science and history.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:20 pm
And in my opion thats all HE wants to hear is that you beleive in HIM (God) creator
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Please do STL
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Yes sir. Take care, and have a great night.
I enjoyed all your posts, thank you for your time and info.

Parents.

Know this, there are only two kinds of religion, humanistic achievement or divine accomplishment.
Only Christianity offers divine accomplishment.
Be honest and ask yourselves to look at the ten commandments.
Have you ever told a lie? That makes you a liar.
Have you ever stolen? That makes you a thief.
If you even look at a woman with lust, Jesus says it is adultery in the heart. I know I am guilty.
This is only 3 of the ten commandments.
If you are honest you will admit that you are guilty and in danger of judgement.
God says no liar or thief or adulterer will have a place in His Kingdom.
The bible says “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
The punishment for sin is Hell.
“The wages of sin is death”
If you listen to your conscience you will see your sin and the need to be saved. The need for a savior. God just sees our good deeds as useless dirty rags.
Jesus said “I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME”.
Imagine your in court on trial and found guilty, the judge puts a 10 million dollar fine on you. You can’t pay that!
But some one you don’t know says I love raider O and r8rpaver and I am going to pay thier fine.
This is what Jesus offers you. He died on the cross for you. He shed his blood to offer you a way out of punishment in Hell.
You don’t know when you will slip into eternity and face the Living God. Don’t go without a Savior!
In order to recieve it you must repent of your sin and trust in Jesus alone for your salvation. Trust in him like a parachute. It doesn’t do you any good to have a parachute in a crashing plane if you dont put it on. You must put on the parachute and then jump.
That is like true faith. Not blind faith, but faith in evidence and reason. Activated by belief.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:27 pm
O science, history ,and religion are 3 TOTAL diffrent animals…IMO they cant co mingle
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:33 pm
I’m guilty of sin!!
Great post!!!
My hope and Faith in God are huge, and so is my faith in his forgiveness!!
Thank you so much for your time, I can’t express how much I really appreciate this. Thank you.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:34 pm
STL what a great way to finish…by the way i do strongly believe in the bible… no disrespect O but it is what i know…im not saying that Is!am is not right or if you believe in the koran you will go to hell… like you that is who is was raised right wrong i dont know ….but GOD does and if you believe in him i think all will be good after life
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Well brother have a great night…whats left and a great tomarrow God bless both of you
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:37 pm
R8,
I used to think that, and that’s why I wasn’t a believer. I disagree, I think they can.
God created everything, so why can’t we mix religion and science.
Just because science can’t prove something, does that mean it doesn’t excist?!
Do you think I was a monkey!!!! lol
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:38 pm
O we are all guilty of sin thats why god sent jesus to us
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Many will say on that day (judgement day) Lord, Lord did we not prophesy in your name and preform works in your name? And He will say, depart from me, I NEVER KNEW YOU.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:51 pm
I can’t tell you both how much I enjoyed this.
Great conversation is priceless, and one of the great free joys of life.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Good night Gents, and God bless you.
