Al didn't want anything to do with Gannon. Period. I have forgotten more about Raider football than you will ever know. I guess you aren't smart enough to figure out sarcasm. Facts are facts. Today's football has passed Al buy. His insecurities led to Wolfs, Gruden's and Allen's departure. He is typical business owner that wants yes men with no dynamic or original thinking. That messes up their culture. The employees, in this case the culture have no clue what the plan is. Its the I will draft the players based on my ways and theories and your job is to develop them using my (archaic) systems. Uncle Al would rather lose with his methods than win with today's methods. Marshall actually had his butt handed to him for having the audacity to blitz with (his) zone blitz packages against Cinn and Pitts last year. Regarding McClain, lets put it this way. Not comparing them but Ray Lewis would have trouble with this defensive scheme. Why? Because Lewis is able to improvise. Uncle Al's system would restrict him. Im been sick over the last 8 years. This once proud franchise needs a makeover. priesttj Are you related to uncle al? Al didn’t want anything to do with Gannon. Period.

Family deaths are almost always more difficult the second time they pass. rumor has it his Grandpa passed away during training camp and the same Grandpa passed away on Monday.

Gruden was the last to agree based on his own words. Listen if you don't know something why not ask? instead you pretend that you know and look foolish and lie your way out of it. Bruce didn't have much if anything to do with personnel decisions in Oakland that was Mike Lombardi's dept. Why wouldn’t Gannon have signed as a FA without Bruce and Gruden?

He's making tons of money. I agree this sounds fishy. You can't count on the Raiders telling us the truth on this; they may be, but u can't count on it. Someone suggested he's gone AWOL. Is that possible? If so, why? He doesn't like playing for Oakland and he's gonna protest? I want to know what the real deal is with McClain. He’s making tons of money. I agree this sounds fishy.

The Raider offense gets off to a pathetic start. Grads throws 2 ints in the first half. Halftime Chargers 17 Raiders 3. Then, in a move of desperation, Cable puts Campbell back in the game to appease Al, hoping this will save his job. Campbell leads the team to 24 unanswered points in the second half. Raiders 27, Chargers 17. Raiders then go on a 8 game winning streak. ^^^^^^^^ If Grads goes down....JC will not lead this team anywhere near 24 unanswered points...let alone 12 unanswered.
