Barksdale: My goal is to start
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, June 6th, 2011 at 8:17 am in Oakland Raiders.
Offensive lineman Joe Barksdale told the Detroit News his goal is to start right away for the Raiders.
Barksdale was the second of two third-round picks by the Raiders, No. 92 overall, out of LSU.
He will likely be a competitor at right tackle, a wide open position in that Mario Henderson, Khalif Barnes and Langston Walker are currently not under contract.
Barksdale said he’s not overly concerned about money in the wake of a lockout which is preventing him from signing a contract.
“I don’t spend a lot of money,” Barksdale said. “I never had a lot of money. Maybe five dollars in my pocket and that’s it. You give someone who never had candy before some fat-free twizzlers and they’re good.
“I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I need money for gas to see my girlfriend (in East Lansing). My hobbies are simple. I have an IPOD, a MacBook. The MacBook is starting to run my life. And I listen to music and play video games.”

With the less than stellar play we’ve seen at RT for about the last 10 years, I’d say he has a pretty good shot at starting. For no other reason than lets see how he reacts to a game situation, if he’s not good then we know what we’ve got sitting on the bench.
June 6th, 2011 at 8:41 am
Barks sounds like a good guy. Refreshing. I don’t know why more nfl players don’t just save their money and opt for a simpler existence. Play your 4 year average and retire a young rich man.
June 6th, 2011 at 8:42 am
hmm.. I kinda like this fella… if Jammy was like that, he still would be rich kid…
June 6th, 2011 at 8:47 am
LOL @Heat fan with Lakers on the brain.
You’ll get ur shot at us next year. If you can get by a healthy Celtic team, or if Orlando doesn’t get CP3.
June 6th, 2011 at 8:48 am
bring back Mario and let him compete at RT. Joe could be the second coming of Anthony Munoz and we’d still need some decent backups. As of now we’ve got nobody on the bench.
June 6th, 2011 at 8:50 am
Barksdale sounds like he’s another in the recent line of drafting “character” guys. He sounds like a well grounded, intelligent young man. Sounds like he comes from a good family.
Here’s his NFLDraftScout.com review:
9. Joseph Barksdale
6-5,336 40 Time:5.34 Projected: 3rd round
Positives: Ideal size, long arms and equal weight distribution to be a sturdy starting tackle. Came to LSU as a defensive tackle and plays with that mentality. Gains good depth on his kick slide and has the lateral agility and balance to mirror. Uses length and powerful hands to get quick control of defenders. Can easily turn defenders to open a lane and has some athleticism getting to second level.
Negatives: Lacks the elite athleticism to play left tackle in the NFL, where he started as a senior for LSU. Gets lazy and doesn’t maintain proper footwork. Technical flaws will be exploited regularly unless he takes to coaching and dedicates himself to perfecting his craft. Overly reliant on natural ability.
In our view: Barksdale has the combination of size, strength and athleticism to rate amongst the top offensive tackles in this class. But his reputation for doing just enough to get by makes the NFL right tackle a middle-tier target for teams who trust his athleticism and believe he’ll flip the switch as a pro.
Those negatives and concerns defenitely raise some red flags, for sure. However the Raiders have the cure for what ails him, IMO.
They have a “Wiley” old veteran OL coach to teach him all the techniques in the book. Then they have the Ultimate Raider in asst coach Wiz to motivate him. Get in his ear and tell him to grind people into the turf.
This kid sounds like an intriguing prospect. He has all the tools, lets just hope he utilizes them.
I remember reading the same concerns about Trent Williams, OT of Oklahoma. Questionable work ethic and technique. He was a top five pick. I think Barksdale is a gamble worth taking in Rd 3.
That article from his hometown newspaper makes him sound like a good kid. I hope he works out.
June 6th, 2011 at 8:53 am
That’s what he says now…. But give him a few million and that little college boy lifestyle will be replaced by “the finer things in life “….. Hopefully he remains humble…. I just hope wiz and him both start and play well cuz if they do, this draft will be another successful one
June 6th, 2011 at 8:57 am
ht. 6.5 wt. 315 40 time 4.9. Barksdale is a long armed freak!He can play either side of the line and has the perfect body type for an O-linesman. This was a great pick and I’m surprised he isn’t being talked about more.
Good call Jerry! Given the mediocore play we’ve gotten from Henderson, Barnes and Walker, the only thing that will keep Barksdale out of the starting line up will be the lockout and lack of practice time.
btw, has anyone else heard rumors about Walker retiring?
June 6th, 2011 at 9:02 am
I don’t think Siragusa’s hit on Gannon was that out of line. Face it, if Sirugusa were a Raider, he’d be a hero for that. Look at how so many Raider fans praised Seymour throwing a punch at Roethlisberger last year. That punch could landed right on Ben’s throat or something, injuring him severely. We would have celebrated. Every team’s fans celebrate their own teams’ rough behavior, then act like it’s a sin when it’s done to their team. It’s football.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:07 am
STs coverage teams need to be more consistant next year.
Watching the end of the Jags game and that big return we gave up after the McFadden TD (McFadden is a BEAST!!!) was a killer.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:08 am
And I remember thinking we were going to the Super Bowl in 2000, too. In fact, I remember thinking we’d caught a break when Baltimore beat Tennessee a week earlier. It was Tennessee I was fearing. lol. I hadn’t watched Baltimore play that year. I was much younger then and didn’t follow sports as closely, and didn’t know they had the best defense in the league. We were never in that game. Even though they had about a 10 point lead on us most of the game, it may as well had been a 30 point lead. We could not move the ball against their mountainous d line if our lives depended on it. I think they might have had the greatest defense ever. I remember Mark Kreidler saying in the Sacramento Bee the next day, I paraphrase, “With the Baltimore Ravens going on the road and punching the favored team in the mouth, it’s as if the Ravens were the Raiders of old”.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:09 am
Never seen Barksdale play but I like the kid’s attitude.
BTW JFB, big diff between LSU smart (Barksdale) and Stanford smart (Kwame Harris)
LSU smart = you’re not in trouble with the law and actually go to class.
Stanford smart = you’re way to philosophical to be wiling to smash your head for football.
I’m sure 504 Raider will give me shcytt for that.

Heat too much for Mavs

BAUCE,
the Mavs had no business winning Game 2 and the Heat had no business winning last night
it was ugly. Plus Dirk routinely makes that shot 9 times out of 10
call it a wash. Heat in 5
June 6th, 2011 at 9:17 am
We were really just an offensive team with Gruden. Because our defense had some great games, we kind of got ahead of ourselves and became convinced that team was a rebirth of the ’70s Raiders, being dominate on both sides of the ball. Such a team hardly even existed anymore by 2000. Came January, the chips fell. And our defense had more holes than swiss cheese. Who gets pump faked by Trent Dilfer?
June 6th, 2011 at 9:19 am
All vets gonna wanna go to South Beach for the next 6 seasons
game 2 was a little speedbump. This should have been a sweep, but no matter. Heat in 5. Crown Godzillan and King Kong already.

They’ll get a decent player to accept the 5 million salary cap exception (if it’s still in play after the new CBA) just like ALL good playoff teams do.
Boston, Lakers, Dallas, and Orlando will get those same good players to take their exception.

It’s a beautiful day to be reunited with my family, go home and spend some quality time with them. I’d like to thank everybody for their prayers and words of encouragement. I’d like to thank all my fans around the world for the thousands of letters and unwavering support.
“As far as football is concerned, if and when everything gets settled and they get back on the field, I’ll be ready. Y’all be good and blessed.”

Actually, I hope he does. The finals sucks with scrub teams like the Mavs. It just isn’t the same.

Good point on Bryant. He may be an exception and wasnt drafted high at all.
True story….
I have been told many times from people who actually went to Harvard that it is hard to get into Harvard but, once you are in the undergrad program,it is not hard at all. Their post undergrad is pretty tough though. I think Berkeley’s and Stanford’s undergrad programs are way tougher. Plus I’m a West Coast dude so I’m certainly biased.

I agree! But then again, look at the track record of our incumbent WR’s and that makes Plax and anyone with a track record of success look good.

Ilgauskas, Howard, and Bibby won’t be back with the Heat next year. They better find some bigs if they think they’ll be able to get past the Lakers or OKCs length next year.
And if Chicago gets a decent player to take it’s mid level exception, the Heat will have problems getting outta the East.
They need help down low to get the 5 or 6 rings some of you are thinking. The stars are not going to align every year like it did this year, lol.

I know bringing Willie back would be a joke but I read an article some time ago that he was talking about a come back at 50. They said the guy is in great shape.
The only thing with WIllie is his hands were not reliable. Maybe not at the DHB level but he was not as good as a Tim Brown or Fernandez when it came to making a catch.

I’m not saying that you won’t run through the East next year, but if you are telling me that the Rondo injury and the Perkins trade didn’t make your road a bit easier, then I think you’re in denial.
You should have EASILY lost game 2 against the Bulls, but that ONE ref letting you back in the game early in the 2nd qtr was a gift. You were WELL on you way to getting blown out, but you got to shoot FTs with 9 minutes left in the qtr, lol!

UnrealMadden Traitor,
I know you’re just trolling for an argument, and unfortunately I’m gullible enough to take the bait this time, but damn.
That 2000 defense was just full of more holes than Swiss cheese, huh? Really?
They shut out Miami the week before, 24-0. They only gave up 16 points to Baltimore. The only touchdown they gave up was a fluke. 96 yarder on 3rd and a country mile. D Russell had just buried Dilfer for a huge sack to his own four yard line. Marquez Pope was in perfect coverage and obviously pulled back at the last second to avoid a costly P.I. (which may or may not have come. Hard telling against Oak). It was a tragic and costly mistake on his part. Watch the replay.
Hell, at one point Gannon tried to shoot it up and re-enter the game. Didn’t work. He fumbled deep in Raider territory. The Raiders defense so overwhelmed Baltimore, The Ravens lost like 15-20 yards the next three plays. Phil Simms cracked…If Baltimore could only run three or four more plays, Oakland would be in prime scoring position. The ravens were going nowhere.
We know you hate everything Silver & Black. What kind of Raider fan gleefully predicts a 42-0 Raider loss to Denver in the upcoming season opener? None that I can think of.
You’re unbelievable. Unbelievably sad.

June 6th, 2011 at 10:22 am
MR say what? 2000 raiders were very good on defense. We played run well created turnovers and got alot of pressure on qbs. That was the raiders best team since coming back to Oakland. Sirgagusa wasnt the one who hurt Gannon….it was Rob Burnett 3rd play of game
June 6th, 2011 at 10:24 am
Raiders also had a 49er on the 2000 team….b-tch made marquez dope #49 at that. Plus bresnahan messed up on 3rd and 18. All year we went away from what we did best on 3rd and long…..sticks formation

Brien, the 2000 Raiders’ defense was hit or miss. If they had momentum, they were great. The better OC’s in the league had them tripping over their shoe laces. And in some cases, even horrible offensive teams ran right through them. Trent Dilfer pump faked Anthony Dorsett (Al’s guy) to set up the Baltimore TD that would be the nail in the coffin. Trent Dilfer. Dude, Trent Dilfer doesn’t pump fake anyone. Ever. Dorsett should have been cut after the play, right there during the game.

Basketball is the only sport where you can take 3 superstars and a bunch of scrubs and win championships. That’s 60% of the starting lineup. You can’t get 60% of other starting lineup as all-stars on one team in any other sport. And it’s been that way in the NBA for a long time.

I don’t think Siragusa’s hit on Gannon was that out of line. Face it, if Sirugusa were a Raider, he’d be a hero for that. Look at how so many Raider fans praised Seymour throwing a punch at Roethlisberger last year. That punch could landed right on Ben’s throat or something, injuring him severely. We would have celebrated. Every team’s fans celebrate their own teams’ rough behavior, then act like it’s a sin when it’s done to their team. It’s football.
******************
On this point I couldn’t agree more. And, I was one of those cheering on Big Sey’s shot to Rothlisberger’s facemask. It was too bad that he got ejected but at some point in time your defense has to send a message about who they are and what repercussions are available for distribution if they piss you off. I firmly believe that Oakland’s front 7 are a recognized force to be dealt with – especially since Seymour joined the line-up.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Marquez Pope, another Davis guy. Who loves taking those Niner throwaways, thinking they’ll play great in Oakland? Besides, wasn’t Pope covering Sharpe man to man, and Dorsett free?

MR thats a complete lie about the 2000 defense. Great d? No but very good D hell yes. Our DEs caused constant pressure, our DTs held up in the middle , our LBs could tackle well and we had DBs who caused turnovers. Youre full of schit. 2000 was our best year period
June 6th, 2011 at 10:34 am
Well, JB, at least 8 Sundays last year Oakland’s front 7 were hardly a force to be reckoned with. They’re average at best.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:34 am
Pope let Dilfer’s pump fake dictate whether to kep his arm there or not. Dorsett as usual took a bad angle. Yes Al messed up with getting that 49er b-tch as he has done with all 49er b-tches
June 6th, 2011 at 10:35 am
Brien, that defense was all momentum. They were bullies. If an offense showed fear, they swarmed. But if an offense prepared well, even lousy offenses like the Ravens, we saw what happened. We would have lost to Baltimore no matter what but that play was inexcusable. That was probably the only play longer than 30 yards by that Raven team.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Average at best? MR no…they are above average….ill give em a B….but not an A. Seymour is a LDE and our best run stuffer is a backup lol. also we need another base type DE
June 6th, 2011 at 10:38 am
OMG!!
STFU!!
Kept his arm out there?
The reason Sharpe galloped 90 yards for a TD is because Dorsett, who was free, and responsible for the deep field, was totally taken out of the play by Trent Dilfer’s masterful pump fake. You may have thought that Raider D was solid, but obviously Billick saw differently in the game film, didn’t he?
June 6th, 2011 at 10:38 am
That’s a 10 yard gain if Dorsett doesn’t fall for the fake. Raven’s punt.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:39 am
As I believe it was 3rd and around 15. they were buried, i remember that.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:39 am
Defense was all momentum? lol you arent even making sense now. Ravens offense wasnt overly prepared lol. They had one TD and never put up a long td drive. They coudlnt
June 6th, 2011 at 10:40 am
3rd and 18 at the 4….that play wasnt intended to go all the way. Dilfer even admitted it. Bmore had just given up 2 straight sacks and weere just wanting room to punt. Liar
June 6th, 2011 at 10:42 am
Brien, their offense sucked. But face it, all of those ex Niner coaches know how to beat the Raiders. Even Dilfer probably said to Billick while watching game film and preparing for the Raiders, “Pump fake? Me? Do you think they’ll fall for that”?
Billick: “Trust me. They’ll fall for it.”.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:42 am
MR do you listen? Dorsett never fell for pump fake! He as he always did took an awful angle. Pope is one who fell for fake as evidenced by his arm. Hear Phil Simms? Again u lose I win
June 6th, 2011 at 10:43 am
Remember what Billick said before the Baltimore/Tennessee game a week earlier?
“The winner of this game goes to the Super Bowl”.
He had no respect for us. So Dorsett’s crappy play was insult to injury. We should have at least put up a fight.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:44 am
MR now u going with probably and not actually in reference to Dilfer and Billick….again like a woman u make up bs to try and prove youre right. That works on others but not me
June 6th, 2011 at 10:44 am
TOOK AN AWFUL ANGLE?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I guess he did, Brien. Because he got faked! You prove yourself to be another dumb Davis worshiper more and more with each comment.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:44 am
I have nothing against Avon barksdale, The thought of him starting before midseason is not very comforting. There will be to much youth on the line. When free agency begins Sign a couple decent veterans to start/groom the youngsters.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:45 am
TOOK AND AWFUL ANGLE…..
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, stop.
Please, stop.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:47 am
Well Billick had a point. He knew like most smart people that Gannon’s arm wouldnt beat them. They were daring it to happen lol. And even worse…rob burnett was the one who messed up gannon not goose
June 6th, 2011 at 10:47 am
BRIEN YOU TOOK AN AWFUL ANGLE IN THIS DISCUSSION, THAT’S FOR SURE.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awful angle…
my goodness.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Brien, he knew the Raiders would find a way to lose. All of those coaches who know how to beat the Raiders, what they do is they watch film, and they look for those Al Davis guys who slack and “take awful angles” (lmao).
June 6th, 2011 at 10:49 am
Stop what? Dorsett always took bad angles…that why he sucked always. Come on a pump fake to TE than eventually pass goes to TE? be serious……again u show u dont know football
June 6th, 2011 at 10:50 am
No…it was quite known Gannon aint gonna beat a stout defense and that we had to run the ball. Well we didnt have nap and fkin jon ritchie. We were screwed and your boy gruden night before game changed gameplan
June 6th, 2011 at 10:51 am
Let me ask you guys this…in 2000-2001…that team that advanced to play Baltimore….had we won that game, you think they would have beaten the Giants?
2001-2002…That stupid Tuck Rule…had we beaten the Patsies, do you think we would have beaten Pitt and Kurt Warner and the Rams? 2002-2003…had Gruden not go…you think we would have beaten anyone that would have come across the NFC (which I think would have been the Eagles)? Would that have been 3 in a row? Possibly? I know…what if??? but yeah…what if?
June 6th, 2011 at 10:52 am
No MR ANGLE I TOOK is a correct one that u cant combat. AS usual I best you in any debate about football. Youre a clown and are only here to be negative on Raiders
June 6th, 2011 at 10:52 am
Dorsett got faked. You can watch the play. They talked about it, during the replay. Phil Simms. They showed it, over and over. Dilfer faked to the sideline and Dorsett bit like the chump he is. Davis scholarship. And Billick knew it. Those Niner family coaches and old AFC west guys like Shannahan and Marty just know how to beat any football team put together by Al Davis. They look for those scholarship slackers in the game film, and go right after them. That’s what Billick did to Dorsett, and it put the game away.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:52 am
Barksdale looks good. Hope he pans out. O Line needs some fire, and our new coaches will help make that happen.
Very excited to see what these guys put together, Campbell and Hue Jackson will come up with some clever, careful plays that take advantage of our team’s strengths.
Sure we have weaknesses, but so do 90% of all NFL teams, it’s a question of chemistry, collaboration and commitment. With some stability our young team could develop some skills!
The 2011 season will be a test for them, getting mauled by Patriots, Jets, Bears, Packers, even Vikes and Lions will make them either rise to the challenge and overcome adversity, or Raiders will implode and collapse under pressure.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:53 am
Hwnrdr…..2000 we would have beat NYG. 01 we never beat steelers in pitt and we lose still with gruden in 02 cuz we had mrs 49er fairy rice
June 6th, 2011 at 10:54 am
On another topic, I’ve been thinking a lot about the Raiders championship runs of old.
My conclusion: Screw the Superbowl, the AFC CHampionship Game is much more important and carries more prestige.
AFC Champ game is the real end of the season, Superbowl is more like the ProBowl, an afterthought for fun.
Any thoughts from you guys?
http://theoaklandraiders.wordpress.com/
June 6th, 2011 at 10:54 am
Dorsett always took horrible angles in the open-field.
That guy was awful.
I was at that game, and that joint was rocking right before that 3rd and 18 snap.
I remember watching it and thinking right with the snap, “wait why are we blitzing from the corner here????”. Than poof……SB dreams down the toilet.
We needed the Willie Shaw “Sticks” defense!!!!
June 6th, 2011 at 10:55 am
No, Brien, you’re the clown. Anyone can see that for themselves. Everyone knows Dorsett got pump faked. common knowledge. Every one knew it when it happened, because the replay clearly showed it. The commentators talked about it. And you’re saying it didn’t happen. that makes you the clown, Brien. When something happens live on t.v., and some guy claims it didn’t happen, people tend to think that guy’s a clown, Brien. And, that guy is you.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:56 am
MR is a damn lie….the fake was to sharpe….dilfer got on tv and said it hence marquez dope’s arm pulling back. Dorsett didnt fall for a damn fake he just sucks. And if you ever played sports…which for sure you havent…..then you know angles are vital

June 6th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Vegas….we ran sticks all 2000 and it never failed….bresnahan fked up bad on that
June 6th, 2011 at 10:58 am
And that was one of only several 3rd and longs that 2000-2002 Raider defense gave up. They were a good defense when they were rolling downhill. Uphill is where they had their problems. They didn’t perform in the face of adversity. If an offense had their number, they quit.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:59 am
Hwnrdr….woodson had turf toe….burress and ward would have aced him in 01
June 6th, 2011 at 11:00 am
As far as Barksdale goes……..
I have bagged on him on here (infamously dubbed him Kwame 2.0), but I am really rooting for the kid. He is smart and funny, and if he does well he will be Jerry’s best friend, as he will be a great quote.
Anyone know if he went to Camp Soupmore?
Hopefully this MacBook that is running his life, has some film cut-ups on it.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:00 am
MR another lie…..Raiders defense never quit in 2000. Not one game from 2000 you can recall them quitting you liar
June 6th, 2011 at 11:00 am
Oh, so know it’s Breshnehan! I thought it was Dorsett’s “bad angle”? Here we go.
“Wheel!!!”
“of!!!”
“Excuses!!!!!!!”
June 6th, 2011 at 11:01 am
Bauce that all may well be true but they can only suit up 15 everybody cannot go there. Plus the biggest issue of all is there may be a hard cap after this year so they may not be able to take on more than a couple of impact players at the most.
Plus I you’re smart the Lakers aint exactly chopped liver that team could get back there fast IF and say IF ONLY they get a star PG. They could get back very quick and that is with Kobe and Odom and Bynum and Gasoffffft. That aint hard to do, Baron Davis and a young talented PG could change their fortunes immediately.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:02 am
Dorsett didnt fall for a damn fake he just sucks
**************************
LOL
Real-talk. Dorsett is on my top 5 all-time Raider that I hated list.
Jamarcus, Dorsett, Lafat Jordan, Meangelo, Cole Ford
June 6th, 2011 at 11:02 am
MR…did you not watch the 2000 season? Sticks formation worked all year…never failed Bres messed up for sure as a coach. Pope is a loser and Dorsett always has sucked. What is excuse in that? You arent making sense
June 6th, 2011 at 11:02 am
Ok….let’s see here…spinning…spinning….is that Dorsett’s bad angle? No, still going. spinning, is it going to be Breshnehan? Breshnehannnnnnnn???? no, it’s going to be, Brien Billick just knowing how to beat the Raiders. Ooooh. sorry. Better luck next spin, Brien.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Explain how im spinning when i detail what the coach and the raider safeties did on that play?
June 6th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Brien…first Dorsett’s bad angle..then Breshnehan…you should buy a vowel before solving.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:05 am
For you MR….TELLING THE TRUTH IS SPINNING LOL
June 6th, 2011 at 11:05 am
Anthony Dorsett may just be the reason I started going grey around 20 years old
June 6th, 2011 at 11:05 am
Actually MR…keep up…first thing I said was Marquez Dope….if u gonna make accusations at least be correct lol
June 6th, 2011 at 11:06 am
Uh, how could Breshnehan be responsible for Dorsett taking a “bad angle”? Now you have Vegas Raider in here saying Dorsett was known for bad angles. So, it’s dorsett, his playing, isn’t it? Now, suddenly, it’s Breshnehan’s fault. How could it be? If it’s dorsett taking the bad angles, then it’s dorsett’s fault. That’s the…
“Wheel”
“of”
“excuses”
The favorite game show of Al Davis worshipers.
Your spin, Brien. Stop staring at Vanna. You’re creeping her out.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Dope pulls his armback because pump fake got him and he didnt want a penalty(idiot move)….dorsett as he always had that season takes a bad angle….and bresnahan knowing his safeties sucked went away from what worked all year…….tell me the spin in that when thats what happened
June 6th, 2011 at 11:10 am
And MR you are a documented liar and entire blog will agree with that….so again you lose I win
June 6th, 2011 at 11:11 am
Lol MR u dont think coaches get blame for not calling correct stuff? hahahahaha
June 6th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Yesterday’s game of Wheel of Excuses was quite fun, as well. Good show.
HayezDaze spun first. He landed on “Gruden wanted to leave anyway”.
Then suddenly priest takes a spin, and lands on “Gruden sucked, we were better off without him.”
Then Nnamdi 21 takes a spin, lands on the same as priest!
Of course, they all thought they’d won. But none of them landed on the correct answer: “Gruden was a good coach, but Davis got rid of him because Gruden became bigger than him”
June 6th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Hwnrdr I think if we beat the Ravens we defnitely beat the Giants IMHO I think we underestimated the Ravens we came in over confident. We had a better team we didn’t play nearly as well as we were capable. Our Oline just didn’t play to their capabilities until the following year.
And if the Eagles get to the SB to play us do you need to ask who wins that game. We blow the freaking Eagles out of the stadium……………period
If The freakin Tampa-bays luckyLous didn’t have someone there to give them every advantage in mankinds history we kill them. Tampa could’ve been had but they knew things about our passing game as if we had a double agent they should’ve WON!!!……………period
June 6th, 2011 at 11:13 am
As a coach u know ur guys weaknesses and strengths…..thhats why we did sticks so much on 3rd and long all year you idiot. Bres messed up on that part
June 6th, 2011 at 11:14 am
Rich Gannon should’ve won at least two SB’s with the team we had and we didn’t win ANY…………that SUCKS LIKE HELLL!!!
June 6th, 2011 at 11:15 am
No thats not why Al got rid of gruden….gruden wanted to be gone after Al embarrassed him in front of his dad after 2000 ravens loss. Al offered a contract during 01 season but gruden was cool on it
June 6th, 2011 at 11:16 am
You and Vegas both said repeatedly that Dorsett was known for bad angles. You both implied that it was Dorsett’s execution that was the problem. Then…..
….Ok, Brien spins the wheel. Let’s see here. Is it going to land on….let’s see….Dorsett’s bad angles?…..no, looks like it might be….Breshnehan’s coaching? …nope, it lands on “Dorsett got pump faked”. Sorry, Brien. Wow. Not your day. And, Brien, please, your making Vanna uncomfortable with that weird staring.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:16 am
BHP….if healthy we were better but no Nap and no ritchie meant disaster
June 6th, 2011 at 11:16 am
So now it’s Rich Gannon’s fault? Unbelievable.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:17 am
In what game??
June 6th, 2011 at 11:17 am
Dorsett was guilty on that play. We can put that argument to rest. Dude was scared to lay wood into Sharpe. Should have never been a Raider to begin with.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Who said it was Rich Gannon fault??? did anyone say it was Rich gannon’s Fault??
June 6th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Lol MR YOU DO REALIZE ON A GIVEN PLAY EVERYONE HAS A PART IN THE PLAY. EVERYONE HAS A RESPONSIBLITY ON FIELD AND COACH HAS ONE AS GETTING PROPER CALLS IN CONDUCIVE TO A TEAM’S SUCCESS
June 6th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Al embarrassed Gruden? I’m sure Gruden was already embarrassed by the play of Al’s scholarships. I don’t think Gruden could have been embarrassed any more.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:19 am
I think Al taking Jano in the 1st round to was to let Gruden knows who’s in charge. Gruden was pretty much gone after that. I doubt Gruden ever wanted to take a kicker in the 1st round.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:19 am
Yeah, Brien, it’s definitely Breshnehan’s fault that he can’t go out there on the field during the play, grab Dorsett by his shoulders, and put him in position to make plays. All our coaches can do with Al’s scholarships is hope they don’t choke too bad.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:19 am
Who said it was Gannon’s fault? He just didnt have arm to beat them. He needed his backfield 100 pct and they werent
June 6th, 2011 at 11:20 am
ONE FREAKIN play didn’t beat us we just didn’t play well. We still had a chance to win at the end Hoying took too long to get it together. And Gruden NEVER should’ve put Gannon back in it broke Hoying momentum. Gannon was obviously hurt and couldn’t play he should’ve stuck with Hoying.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:21 am
And MR AFTER WE PLAY YOUR GAME…… we will play “Who wants to lose their Virginity?” ….u are the primetime contestant
June 6th, 2011 at 11:21 am
AIG….WRONG…..there were a few guilty morons on sharpe’s play
June 6th, 2011 at 11:22 am
Oh, come on, AIG. You know Al wanted either Keith Bulluck or Shaun Alexander, but Gruden insisted on Janikowski! Brien will say that any second. Watch. tsk tsk
June 6th, 2011 at 11:22 am
That Ravens team was good not great we could’ve and should’ve beta them if ganon ddoesn’t go down we beat them…………….period
June 6th, 2011 at 11:24 am
Brien’s in a full blown melt down. Be careful with him, everyone. I warned him earlier, about how hilarious his “angle” argument was. I warned him it would only get more embarrassing for him from here. He didn’t listen. He stuck to it, just like his hero Al Davis sticks to bad ideas, even when they’re proven not to work. Now he’s paying the price. He’s fully humiliated right now, and acting out. Just observe.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:24 am
Ok MR you trying your bit at comedy is a failure. Al cussed gruden out in front of his dad and made him feel small. Its similar to what i do to you on here. Gruden was gonna be gone eventually afer that
June 6th, 2011 at 11:25 am
Bauce,
I am sure there are tons of mistake on a play involving 11 men. The bottomline is the play was between Dorsett and Pope. Pople took the under and Dorset was our last line of defnese, in which he whiffed. Do you ever remember Dorsett laying the wood on anyone? I am shocked you are defending that guy.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:25 am
Actually MR….last week someone mentioned about moves Al wouldnt do and i countered with Al picking jano 17th…..so try again
June 6th, 2011 at 11:27 am
AIG….i know you can read better than this….scroll up and read again….now u see where i said dorsett sucks? thanks for playing
June 6th, 2011 at 11:27 am
Brien, as I said earlier, there’s nothing Al could have done to make Gruden feel smaller than the performance of Al’s scholarship players that gruden was forced to play earlier. Gruden was already as embarrassed as he could possibly be, like everyone wearing Raider gear. Al’s scholarship players, notably Anthony Dorsett, did a number on the pride of the silver and black that day. Davis’s incoherent , old man raving was irrelevant.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:28 am
I don’t Gruden even understood what Al was yelling at him, Brien. Al probably didn’t even have his teeth in.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:29 am
Meltdown? lol im killin u….whole blog knows i destroy you and Kelly with ease
June 6th, 2011 at 11:30 am
Hey Brien, didn’t Gruden just take the job? Al didn’t even hire him, and Gruden just started showing up and organizing meetings, didn’t he? lmao. Just like the Sopranos. Tony really running the family while crazy old Junior thinks he’s the boss.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:30 am
Walter McFadden will challenge for the spot across from Stanford…..the dude can flat out cover.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:31 am
MR YOU DONT EVEN MAKE SENSE!…..embarrassing a guy in front of his father? Calling him names as Al is known to do can never trump the play on the field. its a game that u can win or lose but what Al did was cold
June 6th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Severe we shall see what walter has
June 6th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Yeah, brien, you’ve been killin me with ease today, by churning up one conflicting reason after another for Sharpe’s td in the ‘00 AFC champ. My reason’s been the same all along, and it’s the reason that is common knowledge in the sports world, outside of Al Davis’s loyal following.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:33 am
So Tj…we win in 2001 and 2003, but not in 2002? Well, Pitt was pretty darn good that year and Bauce was right…CWood had turf toe that year…Plax and Ward would have had a field day. Who was qb? Was it Slash?
June 6th, 2011 at 11:34 am
Brien, how could Gruden have been more embarrassed by his old boss yelling incoherently, probably without his teeth, than he was over the play of those awful players he’s forced to play, because their Al’s guys? Gruden’s a football guy. He’s all about winning and losing. Doesn’t care about all that power structure stuff. Al’s into that because he’s a wannabe mobster. Gruden’s just a football coach. And if anything embarrassed him, it was the play on the field, notably by Al’s scholarships. I’m sure he found Al’s ranting and raving hilarious. Most people do. Remember the overhead projector?
June 6th, 2011 at 11:36 am
And u kill me MR LOL….Al Davis gets all blame from u but if team wins he had nada to do with it hahahahaha. You would drink Gruden’s bath water
June 6th, 2011 at 11:37 am
When the hell does the team win, Brien? I’ll give Al Davis credit when we win, if we ever do again. But should I not notice that he’s NEVER, EVER won without either Jon Gruden or Ron Wolf?
June 6th, 2011 at 11:37 am
You would drink Gruden’s bath water
——————-
Lesson learned today…never read this blog while eating lunch. Thanks Bauce.

Lol MR….YOU JUST PLAYED yourself….again….go back to december 08 end of season….you said Raiders won vs gruden in spite of Al Davis….now u claiming otherwise lol…..too easy hahahahaha
June 6th, 2011 at 11:42 am
Brien, you’re like a woman. You lack logic.
Wow. This is easy. If this is what it’s come to, I’ll play along.
You woman, who lacks logic.

hahahahahah

June 6th, 2011 at 11:43 am
We are sticking to topic…..u defend gruden so much that i do think you would take a sip of his suds. Its never his fault for any loss….all blame goes to al Davis
June 6th, 2011 at 11:43 am
you’re too easy, brien. ha ha ha.

June 6th, 2011 at 11:46 am
Hwnrdr Well we were playing what if right? I’m saying health and other factors not happening. Gannon also got hurt. BRobb went south that’s why teams win and lose.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:46 am
Lol MR is obviously the lame kid in school who no one liked cuz when he got clowned he just copied ppl lol

June 6th, 2011 at 11:48 am
lol Brien is obviously the lame kid in school who no one liked cuz when he got clowned he just copied ppl lol
How long are we going to to this, Brien? We can get back to football, or we can continue this. It’s rather silly. But hey, if you insist.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:48 am
For instance this team we have now if it comes together is not that far from bigtime playoff wins. The Oline has talent but it has to come together and gel. If it does this team can challenge for whatever it wants.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:48 am
MR still yearning for Gruden’s love. Its sad and sick…..u got to get over it pal he aint comoing back

4 rings in a decade qualifies for team of decade

G123,
I predict 5 rings total for this group (James/Wade/Bosh)
they get the first one this year. probably nothing next year and Spoelstra gets fired. then a 3-peat with a legit NBA coach
just my humble opinion
June 6th, 2011 at 11:49 am
Brien, do you think anyone here doesn’t know that the reason you’ve taken the discussion to this level is because you lost the argument about Dorsett and the AFC champ. game?
June 6th, 2011 at 11:50 am
MR you can continue…..its no different from what u do on the daily…we use to listening the the panties in a bunch rants from you and your obsession with hating Al davis
June 6th, 2011 at 11:50 am
Brien still yearning for Davis’s love. It’s sad and sick…u got to get over it pal, Al doesn’t even know you exist, and never will.
Brien, come on. How long?
June 6th, 2011 at 11:50 am
And on top of it….u have been proven to not know football and u are a known liar
June 6th, 2011 at 11:52 am
Brien you can continue…its no different from what you do on the daily… we use to listening to the panties in a bunch rants from you defending Al Davis.
This is too easy, Brien. Le’ts just get back to football, huh? You’re at a dead end here, bud. This is rock bottom. You lost the Dorsett argument. Lick your wounds, go to another topic. We all lose on occasion. this is no way to handle it.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:52 am
As long as the stack of used condoms u collected from jon gruden
June 6th, 2011 at 11:52 am

I also feel McFadd can play he was coming off an injury and got schooled it’s happened to EVERY corner in the history of this great league.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:53 am
And on top of it, Brien…u have been proven to not know football and u are a known liar.
Brien, this is getting old. Let’s get back to Raider football. That’s what the blog is for.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:54 am
As long as the stack of used condoms u collected from Al Davis. Ha ha. ha. This is so easy. Brien, let’s get back to football.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:55 am
I win every argument and i surely won on the dorsett thing…its a known fact that dorsett takes bad angles his whole career as he did on that play. Dope pulled back his arm like a moron and Bresnahan didnt go to our bread and butter……this is fact

Barksdale sounds like he’s another in the recent line of drafting “character” guys. He sounds like a well grounded, intelligent young man. Sounds like he comes from a good family.
Here’s his NFLDraftScout.com review:
9. Joseph Barksdale
6-5,336 40 Time:5.34 Projected: 3rd round
Positives: Ideal size, long arms and equal weight distribution to be a sturdy starting tackle. Came to LSU as a defensive tackle and plays with that mentality. Gains good depth on his kick slide and has the lateral agility and balance to mirror. Uses length and powerful hands to get quick control of defenders. Can easily turn defenders to open a lane and has some athleticism getting to second level.
Negatives: Lacks the elite athleticism to play left tackle in the NFL, where he started as a senior for LSU. Gets lazy and doesn’t maintain proper footwork. Technical flaws will be exploited regularly unless he takes to coaching and dedicates himself to perfecting his craft. Overly reliant on natural ability.
In our view: Barksdale has the combination of size, strength and athleticism to rate amongst the top offensive tackles in this class. But his reputation for doing just enough to get by makes the NFL right tackle a middle-tier target for teams who trust his athleticism and believe he’ll flip the switch as a pro.
Those negatives and concerns defenitely raise some red flags, for sure. However the Raiders have the cure for what ails him, IMO.
They have a “Wiley” old veteran OL coach to teach him all the techniques in the book. Then they have the Ultimate Raider in asst coach Wiz to motivate him. Get in his ear and tell him to grind people into the turf.
This kid sounds like an intriguing prospect. He has all the tools, lets just hope he utilizes them.
I remember reading the same concerns about Trent Williams, OT of Oklahoma. Questionable work ethic and technique. He was a top five pick. I think Barksdale is a gamble worth taking in Rd 3.
That article from his hometown newspaper makes him sound like a good kid. I hope he works out.
^^^^^^^^^
Barksdale was a good 3rd Round pick for the Raiders and will compete right away at RT. Barksdale would have gone 20 picks later without a doubt.
Just as long as he winds up being better than both M Henderson and L Walker, than I will be happy.

they get the first one this year. probably nothing next year and Spoelstra gets fired. then a 3-peat with a legit NBA coach

So we’re in agreement then that the Lakers are going to be playing the role of the Washington Generals to the Miami Heat’s Globetrotters for the next few years. And that Kobe has seen his last championship already.

June 6th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Actually Bo,
I live in Tampa.
The people here had a love/hate fest with Gruden. He started his last season here in 08 with a 9-3 record and then lost the next 4 in a row and missed the playoffs. He always had retread and garbage QB’s. It was always the criticism of him and Bruce Allen that they never invested in QB’s.
Ironic that he goes, then they finally invest in a QB, and they got a franchise QB in Freeman. That’s the reason that Gruden is gone. That and his association with Allen.
June 6th, 2011 at 12:14 pm

June 6th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
A lot of great players have been cut, getting cut doesn’t mean you can’t play. It means that team may be deep at that position. I still think the kid can play now we shall see WHO gets cut I happen to think we have enough room for that kid.

“Ur outta line”. You’ve said nothing even that harsh to Bo yet. If you think someone finding an older cousin of theirs attractive is just as bad as a grown man finding an 11 year old girl attractive, you must be a pedophile too. That’s a warped logic.
June 6th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
You guys are turning the discussion to me to distract from Bo’s revelations. that’s a defense, no way around it. The Raider Nation defends pedophiles. Even I’m shocked. I knew some of you were weird, but this is something I didn’t expect.

Ron Wolf’s Son in Green Bay
In nine years as Green Bay’s general manager, Ron Wolf made many of the moves that turned the Packers into one of the best franchises in football. Now Wolf’s son is climbing up the Packers’ organizational ladder.
The Packers announced today that Eliot Wolf, who is entering his eighth season with the Packers, has been named assistant director of player personnel.
“Eliot is an important part of our personnel staff,” Packers G.M. Ted Thompson said in the team’s announcement. “Over the years, his responsibilities and duties have continued to grow. His contributions to our efforts in pro scouting have been tremendous, and he has taken on more in the college scouting and draft preparations. We believe this adjustment is an appropriate recognition of his continued growth within our personnel group.”
The 28-year-old Wolf served as assistant director of pro personnel for the past three seasons and a pro personnel assistant for four seasons before that.
Wolf’s bio on the Packers’ site says he started helping his dad study film when he was 10.

Profootballtalk.com is inviting readers to chip in with suggestions for the 10 worst moments of the Raiders since 1987, something the Web site is putting together for every team in the league.
……
In my attempt to catch up, why stop at 1987? No doubt the No.1 worst moment was the embarrasment of being shut out 3 games in a row, 1981, defending SB champs by the way. I knew then and there something fishy was going on. Sinister forces were at work. Of course next season they were the (puke) los angeles Raiders.

June 6th, 2011 at 12:45 pm
Worst moment in Raider History (for me) was them moving down to south to Smell-A. The whole North/South relationship changed. I know a lot of people who were Raider fans jump to the Niners and all their success in the Montana/Young days. I wanted to, for all the betrayal of Al Davis. But I just couldn’t be a fan of the Crimson and Butterscotch.
June 6th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
Of course, maybe the reason why Brien doesn’t care about a grown man lusting over an 11 year old girl is because the girl is black.

He was also the first NFL owner to hire a Hispanic and a black as head coach. But Davis’s abuses of power have become increasingly visible. For example, after practice it is customary for him to enter the equipment room, drop a towel on the floor and wait for an employee to clean his shoes. “I saw him make someone wipe his shoes in front of 75 people,” says Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, who coached the Raiders in 1988 and was fired four games into the ‘89 season.

“The word is spreading about the Raiders and Al Davis,” says Seattle Seahawks fullback Steve Smith, a Raider from 1987 to ‘93. “The way they collapsed last year was typical. The Raiders have had more talent than any other team the last 10 years. They should have won at least three Super Bowls during that time, but they didn’t because Al screwed everything up.”

From the same article:
“The word loyalty is bandied about much too casually in the Raiders’ organization,” Anderson says. “For Al Davis, loyalty means, ‘You be loyal to me. I’ll think about being loyal to you.’ “
June 6th, 2011 at 12:57 pm
On one hand, most Raiders employees live in fear of Davis; conversely, discipline barely exists. “There’s so much confusion there, it’s unbelievable,” says Greg Skrepenak, a Raiders tackle for the last three of their 13 years in Los Angeles and last season when the team returned to its old base, in Oakland. Skrepenak signed with the Carolina Panthers as a free agent in February. “The problems were selfishness and a lack of cohesiveness. You had guys walking out of meetings, coming in late or not showing up at all. There were guys talking back to coaches and coaches yelling at each other. You’re never really sure where the decisions are coming from, and it seems like everything’s a big secret. Ultimately the decisions fall on Al Davis.”

Nonetheless, in what has become an annual rite of spring, optimism abounds in Raiderland. Last year hopes were buoyed by the hiring of Mike White as coach and the switch to an offensive scheme featuring short timing patterns. This spring a draft-day deal that landed Ohio State tight end Rickey Dudley and the signing of two big-name free agents—defensive tackle Russell Maryland and cornerback Larry Brown, both former Dallas Cowboys—have allowed Oakland to put a happy spin on 1996.

Davis has a history of undermining his coaches, and one source says that despite his lower profile in 1995, Davis pulled his share of power plays on White. Several times he showed up at practice and waited for White to approach him after drills. As White walked toward him, the source says, Davis walked away.

1. If he loses, then yes it will sour.
2. If he wins and the press starts to give him credit, then yes it will sour.
Conclusion, it will sour as long as Al is alive. Al is on record that HC’s should be changed at max 4 to 5 years (if he wins) and 1 if he loses.

Davis favors players whose most striking attribute is raw speed and obscure players whom he has discovered. Three examples are tight end Andrew Glover, a Raiders starter the past two seasons who caught only 10 passes as a senior at Grambling; defensive back Dan Land, a converted running back with excellent speed: and defensive back James Trapp, who won the NFL’s Fastest Man competition in 1995.
“Teams would watch our waiver wire,” five-time Pro Bowl wideout Tim Brown said last summer, “because the word around the league was that the Raiders were going to release football players and keep the guys Al likes.”

Bauce, I think I know who the Bootlicker was/is:
He was also the first NFL owner to hire a Hispanic and a black as head coach. But Davis’s abuses of power have become increasingly visible. For example, after practice it is customary for him to enter the equipment room, drop a towel on the floor and wait for an employee to clean his shoes. “I saw him make someone wipe his shoes in front of 75 people,” says Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, who coached the Raiders in 1988 and was fired four games into the ‘89 season.

Ever notice how the ones who whine about Al the most don’t go to games.
Those same ones state they would go when the team wins, or when Al is gone.
Reality is they don’t go because their wife, in Kellys case, or in MR’s case, his mom, doesn’t give them enough allowance.
The two biggest whiners about Al Davis happen to be two unemployed, kept, grown men.
I would say I’m embarrassed they are Raider fans, but actually, they aren’t, are they?

In 1988 Davis ordered Shanahan to play Willie Gault, a former Olympic sprinter, ahead of Brown. Shanahan refused because Brown’s superiority to Gault was so obvious in practice. “That was the biggest fight we ever had,” says Shanahan. “No one had ever stood up to him. Everyone there is afraid of him, so that’s the behavior he expects.”

Davis’s treatment of Shanahan’s successor, Hall of Famer and former Raiders tackle Art Shell, was equally heavy-handed. Sources say Davis meddled with game plans during the week and sent notes to offensive coaches requesting specific plays during games. “Some strange play would appear during a game,” Jamie Williams says, “and players would look up to the press box and say, ‘That was Al.’ “

Nobody should ever say an 11 year old girl is “hot”, under any circumstances. No sane man who wasn’t a pedophile wouldn’t even joke like that.

In my sane conscience I know it isn’t as bad as even joking about an 11 year old girl being hot. My conscience is clean. Yours isn’t. Bo’s isn’t. You guys are reaching. Scratching. Clawing. Spinning. Anything you can to justify a grown f’n man calling an 11 year old girl hot. You scumbag. If we were face to face right now I’d kick your ass. Anyone who defends a pedophile should be treated as one.

She’s a 40 year old woman, capable of defending herself. If Bo were to act out on his thoughts, unsuspecting 11 year old girls would be in danger. So f’k you.

No sane adult male who isn’t a pederast freak every says an 11 year old girl is hot. And, really, no sane male defends one either. Which is why both you and Bo are scum.

Just awful….incest laden thoughts, extreme hatred for Al Davis as Raider ppl and a virgin. We feel bad for you MR
June 6th, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Wow.
Really?
You as a 20 yr old, lusting after a 40 year old family member hurts no one?
She can defend herself against a 20 yr old fatbody?
Denial, perv.
And ya, you are one sick demented perv, MR.

June 6th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
Guess what, I’m not getting any help. Because my thoughts about a 40 year old woman hurt NOBODY. Even if I were to act on them, they would hurt nobody. She would just think I was nuts. She’s a 40 year old woman, capable of defending herself. If Bo were to act out on his thoughts, unsuspecting 11 year old girls would be in danger. So f’k you. You’re just as bad as pedophile for this defense act you’re pulling off. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you are one. Birds of a feather.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Hobs, you’d better just hope I don’t take you up on that. You defended a pedophile here today. I don’t know what I’d do if I saw you. And once other people at that location found out why I was kicking your ass, you’d get mauled. So for your own good, you’d better just hope I don’t take you up on it. You f’n piece of s’t.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
Lol MR…..how about u come to Raider game with brick this year….i thought natalie portman was hot in “The Professional”….deal?
June 6th, 2011 at 2:04 pm
I also thought Eliza Dushsku or however u spell it was cute in “True Lies”…..now come to coliseum and do god’s work please
June 6th, 2011 at 2:04 pm
If I act out on my thoughts, a 40 year old woman laughs and tells me to take a cold shower.
If Bo acts out on his thoughts, 11 year old girls are in danger.
You know why you don’t understand that, Hobs? Because you’re probably a pedophile too. I just might see you tomorrow. I’ve got nothing else to say to you. Just leave whatever restaurant your punk ass is going to be at, and we’ll take it from there.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:05 pm
Pay attention, perv.
Saying any age person is hot doesn’t mean that person says THEY WANT TO DO THEM, perv.
If you are hot, you are hot, all there is to it, perv.
Some are hot at an early age, and remain hot.
Others never are hot.
Again, didn’t say he now craves her, just that at that age she was hot.
Only in your perv mind does that equate to lust.
(ya, we know, grasping at straws, desperate for something to hold onto, cuz you’re getting reamed.
We know, lol. facts are you lost before you started, perv)
June 6th, 2011 at 2:07 pm
Ur choice….new orleans preseason game or home opener vs nyj
June 6th, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Ill sponsor ur ticket
June 6th, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Anyway, just let me know when this f’n punk leaves the address of whatever restaurant he’ll be at tomorrow. He’d better hope for his own good that I’ve let it go by that time. Because if I’m in this mood right now when I see him, I don’t care if he’s a 300 lb. black belt.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:10 pm
richochet, whoever you are, I don’t care if you’re 300 lbs., and have a black belt. If I ever run into you, we’re going outside. I don’t care if you win. Just know that when somebody has made me mad enough to fight, I’m not playing by any rules.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Come MR so i can beat the living shhhht outta u
June 6th, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Everyone is forgetting that Bo was a teenager at the time Janet was 11 and he thought she was hot.
So if a 12 year old boy thinks an 11 year old girl is hot I would call that natural.
The problem is that MR is claiming that Bo was 30 at the time he lusted after Janet on Good times…..that would mean Bo is about 65 now.
I think the only 65 year old on this blog is the infamous KK.
I am done with this topic its lame!
June 6th, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Brien, I’m not going to the east bay to fight a black guy. do you think I’m stupid? I’m not trying to f’ k with you. But if I ever see this richochet, whoever he is, we’re going outside. HE might be tougher than me. But I hope he understands that everything goes.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
MR is afraid
June 6th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Name the place, MR.
You’re great at excuses on not showing where others invite you too.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:13 pm
Brien you want to fight you gotta meet me in Sac. Frankly I’d rather box with you. With gloves. Brien, I don’t know why, but I just don’t hate you that much. You crack me up sometimes. But I probably do have to step in the ring with you just to earn a little respect, because you clearly think I’m a punk. This richochet guy, however? Honestly? I don’t know what I’m going to do if I ever see him.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Richochet, you name the place. I’ll decide tomorrow if I’m going to go. Obviously if I do this, I’ll have to accept some jail time. It’s a big decision. Because I’m telling you it’s going to be a dirty fight.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:17 pm
I’m too pissed at this punk right now to be afraid, Brien. You know why I’m not going to take my white ass to Oakland and fight you. Get real, Brien. You come to Sac, we’ll go to a gym, put the gloves on. Get it out that way. Richochet’s getting a whole nother deal when I see him.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Oh now im black….lol last month I was white….btw being blk has nada to do with beating u down. Im sure many whitee bloggers would beat u worse than i ever could cuz someone like norco bob is crazy and would really ace you
June 6th, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Save the “you are so and so” or “if you are 300 lbs” or “don’t care if you are a black belt”, you aren’t showing up, you perv.
Save the bravado act.
you’re all talk, have always been all talk, and will always hide behind your screen.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Fk gloves……bare knuck chuck anything goes street fight
June 6th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I am so lmfao at mr acting outraged and tough.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
First u give PEDOchet his money u owe from 09 then u can get beat up
June 6th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Brien you know I’m just messing with you about the black thing. Let me know when you’re coming to Sac, Brien. So I can Manny Paquiao your ass in the ring.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Oh, now I’m richo?
Seems you’ve been called out so many times, you assume they’re someone else?
Like I said, call me what you want, perv.
but one thing is clear.
I hit a nerve because it’s dead on.
Otherwise you wouldn’t care, considering how many names you’ve been called.
But me detailing your aunt lust hit home, and now you’re teetering.
Guess it’s ok when you call Bo, and Bauce pedo’s, but when you get it back?
You collapse, like I figured you would.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
I’m going to pay pedochet in two knuckles sandwiches, that are so good they’ll knock him off his feet.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
Man you stupid punk you know you’re richochet. Just name whatever typical chain restaurant you and your old college buddies will be at tomorrow, and then watch out for me.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Bo hee scared to fight cuz im black and from Oakland….what a coward excuse. Like other blk ppl gonna give a schit here. This aint the 60s. Ppl got more on their minds than me meshing ur blood and face with the concrete
June 6th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Bo, I would kick your ass too but I don’t touch pedophiles. I let the police and those boys and prison deal with you. This is a man’s conversation. Stay out, chester.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
All becuz I said Janet was never hotter to me than when she was eleven and I was nine. Yep I would hit it then. She went downhill as she aged, in my eyes.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
whatever brien, be in sac we’ll put the gloves on.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Bo, you know what you said. Every time you pop in here I’m going to re-post what you said. so there’s no point trying to change it
June 6th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Richochet is not here anymore if he was you would know because he is the king of cut and paste…then he would put all kinds of symbols between his pasted comments and his responses. Like this:
&^&%^$%$^%$^%#^%#%^
I hate you guys whaaaaaaaaa
Thats how I remember it.
June 6th, 2011 at 2:24 pm

I’m just waiting for him to post which fruity little chain restaurant where him and his frat faaggg buddies will hang out at tomorrow. They’re going to be in for some action.

I’ll come back to see if you posted. I’m telling you, you’d better just hope I cool off and forget about this. Because I’ve had it with you. If I show up to wherever you’re at, one of us is going to jail and the other one is going to a hospital. Could go either way. I just know that I’ll be pulling no punches. see you soon.

His male nurse gave him an ennima this morning now he is felling all spunky. Once he gets his sponge bath he will be back on the prowl.

beecham do you know richochet personally? If you do, you can watch what I do to him tomorrow, that is if he ever has the balls to tell me where he’ll be at. I know him and his college buddies like to hang out at chain restaurants. typical mid life crisis s’t. The young female waitresses flirt with you there because it’s their job. That’s as close as him and his old frat buddies can get anymore. Oh, and his mid life crisis is going to get a lot worse. He’s got one more ass whipping to take. And he deserves it.

Politics as usual from the Dem party:
NEW YORK – After days of denials, a choked-up New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner confessed Monday that he tweeted a photo of his bulging underpants to a woman and admitted to “inappropriate” exchanges with six women before and after getting married. He apologized for lying but said he would not resign.
June 6th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
With a name like Anthony Weiner it was prob inevitable he would send pics of his junk to a female half his age while being married.

Kind of reminds me of how senator Larry Craig was so animate about Clinton stepping down after his affair and made a big show out of it all…….Then he gets caught trying to have hot homo bathroom sex in an Idaho airport.

In nine years as Green Bay’s general manager, Ron Wolf made many of the moves that turned the Packers into one of the best franchises in football. Now Wolf’s son is climbing up the Packers’ organizational ladder.
The Packers announced today that Eliot Wolf, who is entering his eighth season with the Packers, has been named assistant director of player personnel.
“Eliot is an important part of our personnel staff,” Packers G.M. Ted Thompson said in the team’s announcement. “Over the years, his responsibilities and duties have continued to grow. His contributions to our efforts in pro scouting have been tremendous, and he has taken on more in the college scouting and draft preparations. We believe this adjustment is an appropriate recognition of his continued growth within our personnel group.”
The 28-year-old Wolf served as assistant director of pro personnel for the past three seasons and a pro personnel assistant for four seasons before that.
Wolf’s bio on the Packers’ site says he started helping his dad study film when he was 10.

I was just looking up some stats for the first time in my life on Elgin Baylor and MJ. When I saw a stat that had MJ shooting 25x pg in his career that is 2nd only to Allen Iverson. Baylor shot 23.6 and Kobe(selfish) bryant only shot 20.0 xpg. That’s why I tell people how much of a freakin HOG MJ was. Through most of his career he was a “volumn shooter” he once shot 43 x’s to score 55 points if that had been Rick Barry of Kobe they would’ve scored at least 70 points.
When I tell people that dude was a freakin HOG they get mad. But I go back to Elgin Baylor, Rick Barry Pete Maravich and Jerry West. And those dudes were considered ball hogs but they scored in the 60’s and 50’s off 30-35 shots. Barry would shoot sometimes 45-50 times but he would score 70+ points. I cannot EVER remember MJ scoring 70+ points and Barry did it 20 x’s.
MJ was a volumn shooter who got a lot of points from the FT line. If people had seen Baylor who was an inch shorter than MJ and averaged 13.5 rebounds a game they would laugh at MJ being the best player ever.
June 6th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
By comparison The “Big O” Ocar Robertson shot 18 x’s pg; Doc J. 17 x’s pg, Kareem 18 x’s pg.
June 6th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Our leading receiver at the end of 2011?
June 6th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
Hell Wilt Chamberlain only shot it (17)x’s pg he was the single most awesome scorer I ever saw and he only took SEVENTEEN a game.
June 6th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
I think it will be between Chaz and Ford. My bet is Ford because he plays the slot.

Because he shot the ball a lot and wasn’t as efficient as other players that makes it a joke that he’s considered the best ever? Not quite sure what you mean..
June 6th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
What I mean is people assume they are seeing something for the first time when he really copied people like Doc and Baylor. Who were more efficient and more explosive than he was if you saw Baylor fly and hang 10 ft. in the air and make circus shot after circus shot MJ would just be one in a long list of high fliers with incredible body control. His game was below the FT line something David Thompson and Baylor and Rick and even ORobertson could outshoot him 7-10 times. I loved watching MJ but he wasn’t the best player I ever saw yet people iin the media swear he was. It’s disrespectful to thos ewho came before him.
I think offesively Kobe was a much better scorer than MJ ever was. So was Rick Barry who AVERAGED 35 points a game as a ROOKIE.

June 6th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
I know Bauce it’s a good move. The reason I say that is he was a PG and his sense of the game was very good when he was a player. He understands the game insode and out. He reminds me of Doc Rivers in that sense. Doc was also a PG who played the game with his head the way Mark did the weren’t especialy gifted they were cerebral players.
He knows the league he understands the players and he can lead because with the Knicks that is exactly what he did.

June 6th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
MB,
Your ability to communicate well is extremely important in commanding respect of the team. You usually find that a good leader is someone who can use his verbal skills as part of his assets to lead the players/troops/employees.
Hue Jack definitely shows that he can communicate well and you can clearly see that the fans are buying up what he is selling, even though he has never been a HC.
Look at at most of the successful HC’s in sports across the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB and you will find that they all speak very well in most cases.
No one ever doubts that Norv Turner knows his X’s and O’s but we all know the man is not HC material. Your communication skill is very vital in being able to inspire your players to take them to the next level.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
I don’t seek to win arguments. I seek to inform, enlighten, entertain, and to take in the 3 myself. If you’re saying I need to do a better job informing people of Al’s mishandling of this team, MB, let me know. I’ll step up my research, and share what I find with the blog.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
And MB, why are you bothered by me and Kell criticizing Al Davis? Are you saying that if we didn’t criticize Al Davis, you’d be cool with us?
June 6th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
I like Hue Jackson’s communication skills. It’s just that Lane Kiffin had good communication skills, as well. Hue’s fate will be no different.
June 6th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
Hujack has a chance to be an exceptional coach his nack for the right play at the right time is uncanny. Playcalling is the single most important part of a gameplan. A game plan can be superior but if you can’t playcall it renders the gameplan almost useless you must have the defense off balance and the element of surprise is a devastating weapon.
Hues playcalling at times last year was so pivotal it made the offense more potent than it actually was. If he can master that we can win a lot of games on that alone. Execution of plays has to be crisp. But he would call sreens that reminded you of the Raiders in their heyday. Back when Clem Daniels and Charlie Smith were here the screens the draws and hitch’s things of that sort made those teams great plus the talent which we have. That’s what Hue brought back to the Raiders the ability to call plays the players could execute.
I think the QB we have is exceptional at that sort playcalling where he doesn”t have to stand back there and hold the ball but get it into the HB’s and TE’s and Rec’s hands as quickly as possible an dlet the attack. Ford in the slot is very different from the Wes Welker’s of the world because he wont get 1st downs that kid will turn a lot of those into scores or huge gains just because of his speed.
Playcalling and talent is a dangerous dangerous combination. Hue and Camp have got to get on the same page and make that happen. It’s not about going deep as much as it is about big plays. That’s how we won in the past and that’s how we will win in the future.

***
TJ,
Welker only started 11 games for the Pats last year due to injury and had 86 catches, 848 yards & 7 TD’s on the season
Ford had 9 starts, was healthy for all 16 games. Finished the season with 25 catches, 470 yards & 2 TD’s
Look, I like JFord and everything … but the kid is no Wes Welker and being better than DHB doesn’t get you a Commitment to Excellence Award imo. It’s like those dudes who had the hots for Gradkowski, simply because he was better than JaWalrus (who isn’t?)
June 7th, 2011 at 6:08 am

June 7th, 2011 at 6:51 am
On ESPN…an interesting article on LeBron…
here’s a snippet from Shaq:
“On a business level, if he would have been straight up with the guy [Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert] and let the guy make moves to try to build his team, everything would have been all right,” O’Neal said. “But you can’t keep messing around with people [saying], ‘I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.’
“Then this guy [says], ‘All right, Mike [Brown], you’re gone. [Danny Ferry], you’re gone. You’re gone, we’re going to do this.’ The guy was trying to make it better for LeBron, but LeBron and his group of guys didn’t tell him what was going on. And then at the last minute it was too late. The guy couldn’t go out and get no free agents, you know what I’m saying?
“I just think if LeBron would have did it better, different tactically, things would have been all right. Because guys have left, guys have left franchises for the past 40, 60 years. The way he did it just kind of caught people off guard.”
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2011/columns/story?columnist=adande_ja&page=LeBron-110606
That last part is how I feel. He is a truly talented and gifted athlete. I mean, his go to the hoop slam dunks are amazing…just lost all respect with that decision thing, that, as Shaq said, he should have done better…
June 7th, 2011 at 7:01 am
Look, I like JFord and everything … but the kid is no Wes Welker
——————————————————-
It’s kinda hard to just throw the stats out there and say Welker is a better option. I think it’s fair to say that they throw the ball to Welker about 15 times a game or so on short dinky underneath routes. or essentially long hand-offs from the slot.
If we used Ford the same way the Pats use Welker then I would have to agree that Ford would be much more of a threat to take those 1st dns and make a bit more out of it.

8 Game season?
Despite recent developments in the labor battle that are seen as positive by some, the NFL is planning for a regular season as short as eight games, the Sports Business Journal reported Monday.
The reported plan essentially means that in order to have a 2011 season a new collective bargaining agreement would need to be reached no later than early November.
Under the reported plan, the eight-game season would start in late November and culminate with the Super Bowl in Indianapolis Feb. 12. The NFL has previously cleared the way for the Super Bowl to be played as late as Feb. 12.
The league is looking to give teams five weeks before the season to sign free agents, hold training camps, and possibly play preseason games.
According to NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk, the NFL has said it needs at minimum three weeks between a deal and the start of the season, making early November the latest possible date for a labor agreement.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:06 am
So …
McFadden and Bush are our 2 best weapons offensively. How do we get them on the field together for most of the game?

I think a better way to look at the Welker/Ford comparison is Ford would approach Welker’s productivity if he were on the Patriots, and Welker would approach Ford’s productivity if he were on the Raiders.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:10 am
Bush won’t agree to being DMC’s fullback, and DMC is probably not going to take the slot position. So it’s a case of running back by committee. And with the run-heavy offensive, ball control, grind out the clock strategey…you need 2 good backs anyway. No need to have them both on the field at the same time.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:11 am
Besides the height there is no comparison in their skill set. Ford is a verticle threat. Welker is a short route across the field runner to move the chains.

Outside of Miller I think Ford is going to be our best WR before it is all said and done.
Chaz, well who knows about Mr. Glass!!!
June 7th, 2011 at 7:13 am
Jacoby Ford and Wes Welker are complete polar opposites, outside of their heights.
Why would anyone want to use Ford like Wes Welker?? 6 yard passes in traffic for Ford??
Ford might be our best “go-up and get the ball” WR, even with his height.
Ford needs to run down the field, and run trick plays to get him in space.
He is not going to patrol the soft zone 6-8 yard range and make a living catching passes and avoiding taking huge hits from LB’s like Welker has.

Yeah, I think even he regrets “the decision”. Came off as a D-bag. But compared to other star atheletes like Mike Vick and Plaxico Burress, he has kept his name clean. There isn’t any real scandal with Lebron. Just a lot of people who want to hate him for being a great player. He’s human after all. He’s not perfect. Even a “perfect” guy will get criticised. You can’t stop the hate.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:17 am
Agree! Design special packages for each player. Maybe DMAC could come in the slot and confuse the defense a little when Bush is in the backfield but I would play them one at a time. Also, one of them is usually injured during the season any how. So that helps determine who plays as well. Plus, we have such a mismatch with the defense at the fullback position with Reece, you don’t want to mess that up.
Lastly, don’t forget Taiwan Jones may step up and be a break away threat around the outside as well (you never know).

JAcoby Ford reminds me of Steve Smith for the Jags. I really think he has the talent to be that good one day.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:22 am
I hate Lebron for his on the court demeanor and personality, but I really didn’t have a problem with the “Decision”.
Well, I had one problem with it. He donated the money earned from that (TV ads and stuff) to the Boys and Girls Club, which is great and pretty cool.
Only problem, he gave a majority of it to the Boys and Girls club that he made the “Decision” at, which is Greenwich, CT, which may be the most affluent area in teh US>
June 7th, 2011 at 7:22 am
Does anyone compare Steve Smith (CAR) to Wes Welker? Of course not. They are not the same guy. Welker is a little tough guy that is very quick off the snap and has a knack for finding space and has terrific hands/toughness. It’s been amazing that he has found a way to last as long as he had. It’s also been a byproduct of having perfect balls thrown to him by Tom Brady. If he had any other QB throwing ducks over the middle, he’d be out of the league by now.
If we want to really get the most of Jacoby Ford, we need to find ways to get the ball in his hands, off bubble screens and slants. But also need to use his elite speed and throw up a few “toss-up” passes. He has the instincts to get “his ball” out of the air. He should be a guy that gets fewer passes caught than Welker, but a much better yards per catch average. That’s considering he’s used in the “Raider way”.

I will have to agree there…the one thing I do give him is that he is also humble…awaiting his turn. Even when they knew that they would run past opponents in the playoffs, he will not get cocky about it…now, will that change once he wins one????
June 7th, 2011 at 7:25 am
As for Jacoby…I think HuJack will find a way to get our most productive receiver out there…If he can’t utilize our fastest receiver (that can catch), then another HC will be gone…
June 7th, 2011 at 7:32 am
I think back to the SD game 2 years ago to start the season. Bush and McFadden were on the field together A LOT in that game, and it was VERY effective. One would motion out to the slot from time to time and it was a ridiculous mismatch against a LB. Bush doesn’t have to be a “FB”.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:42 am
The Sporting News last week has us signing Ricky Williams in FA to replace the “departing FA Michael Bush”, as an FYI.
Not sure if they are just not up to their facts (good chance) or potentially they know something we don’t.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:44 am
Hmmmm…an aging Ricky or Bush? Ricky Williams probably still has gas left in the tank but for how long?
June 7th, 2011 at 7:44 am
I call BS on sporting news. Al’s not going to let Michael Bush go anywhere.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:45 am
Ricky in NorCal is a bong bomb waiting to happen.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:46 am
If Bush is going to sit on the sidelines and get maybe 8 carries or so a game, then it would make more sense to have Williams.
But I don’t see a team out there that will sign Bush AND give us the draft picks that go along with his tender.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:58 am
What if the new CBA just completely wipes away this tender business??
I’m sure that’s what the players want, they hate playing on one-year deals, no matter what the pay.
June 7th, 2011 at 8:08 am
There’s going to be some sort of restricted FA where the current team has the right match or gets some type of compensation.
June 7th, 2011 at 8:14 am
So Marc Jackson gets the Ws job.
Now they are trying to trade Monta for Iggy straight up and play him at the 2????
Terrible!!!
June 7th, 2011 at 8:37 am
Yeah, I think that it is stupid for them to trade Monta…oh well…
June 7th, 2011 at 8:38 am
Iggy will be a big 2, to compensate for our small 1 and 4.
Warriors need to trade scoring for defense and passing (Iggy’s two strengths).
We will get something else besides Iggy, maybe Mo Speights or a lottery protected 1st down the road.
Hopefully we can schlep off Biedrins on them too.
June 7th, 2011 at 8:53 am
Iggy will be a big 2,
——————————————————-
Big???
Compared to Monta, I guess you’re right.
Are you suggesting that the Ws take the ball outta Curry’s hands and let Iggy be the playmaker?
Curry-Iggy-Wright-Udoh-Biendris isn’t even on Clipper level.

In 3 years, DMAC put up his first “injury-free” year, and even then got nicked up and missed some time. He’s not proven he can last a full season. You need Bush as insurance and it’s not a given he’s used 8 carries a game. He may end up your 16 game starter if DMAC has some kind of freak injury like Bush’s hand last preseason.

I have no problem with Lebron’s “decision”. It shouldn’t have been a media circus and that is regrettable. But if Lebron doesn’t start winning some titles soon, he’ll never catch up to Kobe and Jordan. He would have ended up one of “great” players to never win the ring. Another Karl Malone. Loyalty is overrated when you have all the money in the world. He needed to take advantage of his prime years. I’m glad he did. It took guts to do what he did.
I bet Nnamdi sometimes think about whether the ring mattered to him or the money. He pissed away his best years on a bad team, and was a loyal soldier. But he won’t be considered a great without a ring. You look at the greats, the Ronnie Lott’s, the Charles Woodsen’s, the Deion Sander’s, all have rings.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:30 am
Iggy is a play-maker on the break, not as much in the half court.
Monta is a scorer in the open court. You don’t even want him passing it, because he has just as good a chance throwing a bad pass as a good pass.

It was a different time back then. Oakland stood for the blue collar workers, the shipyard workers of Alameda. The entire East Bay started a sharp decline since those days, and there is just no money to support the franchises like they once were supported. OA Coliseum sits in the middle of a slum on all sides now. It wasn’t always like that. I blame the Jerry Brown’s, Feinstien’s and Boxer’s for that. Their liberal practices and killing the golden goose that was ANAS led to the decades long economic downturn in Oakland.

Whats up fellas…?
This morning I wake to see the NFL is preparing for an 8 game season???
What’s up with that…oh well, at least we’ll have some football this season. I’m thinking somewhere around the borderlines of 4 division games and 4 out of conference games??
Maybe sweeping the division will get you in the playoffs this year?

Oakland is a true microcosm of the American economy. Poor people suffering in a “bad economy”, surrounded by super wealthy people in the hills who are only getting richer.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:53 am
Bigsnow….why cant we land one? We aint spending it on Nnamdi. Plus new cba deal bout to down all these tags and transition bs for players. Mankins leaves in Cali and wants out of nE. Al would pay for that guy. He best interior lineman in NFL. And lutui wont cost much
June 7th, 2011 at 9:55 am
Owners of teams have been buying players since the begining of modern day sports. Teams just can’t win it all by being cheap. The A’s made it to the playoffs how many straight seasons? They never were a real threat since they never spent the cash.

I know that area too. Close but no cigar. JLS is nice too, but too far from OAC to make an economic difference. Those unsightly warehouses and frontage roads across 880 make the OAC seem like an island. There is no reason to park you car in the area unless you are there for the games. That’s a good sized piece of land that was incorrectly developed.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:55 am
It’s kinda hard to just throw the stats out there and say Welker is a better option. I think it’s fair to say that they throw the ball to Welker about 15 times a game or so on short dinky underneath routes. or essentially long hand-offs from the slot.
If we used Ford the same way the Pats use Welker then I would have to agree that Ford would be much more of a threat to take those 1st dns and make a bit more out of it.
***
Jhill,
are you related to Al? there is more to a player’s game than speed bro. Ford may have speed, but let me know when he starts running crisp routes and stops dropping balls. Then he can enter the Welker conversations
for the record, I didn’t compare him to WW. TJ did. So if you’re saying that it’s an unfair comparison, blame the guy that came up with it (who I disagreed with as well)
June 7th, 2011 at 9:56 am

When you think of the NFL today, you have to picture the entire entity that is the t.v. networks, advertisers, etc. And I do not believe for one second that they’re prepared to sacrifice 8 weeks worth of profits. Don’t fall for it, labor.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:57 am
It’s just my opinion that the Raiders wont land a big name free agent offensive linemen. Al never spends big money on the O-line. He seems to be weary ever since drafting Gallery.

June 7th, 2011 at 9:59 am
I think a better way to look at the Welker/Ford comparison is Ford would approach Welker’s productivity if he were on the Patriots, and Welker would approach Ford’s productivity if he were on the Raiders.

We usually have a better economy when there’s a Democrat in the white house, Bigsnow. I don’t know how they pull it off but they just do. I’m guessing it’s a matter of riding the fence, giving something to the working class while still taking care of the rich masters. We’re just waiting for O-bama to get on that fence and start throwing us a bone or two, because for the most part he’s just governed in defense of the wealthy, as you pointed out.

That’s the Republican strategy to this day, bigsnow. Reagan did it, too. Used the term “welfare queens”, hoping it would make southern whites more frustrated with black women on welfare than with the rich. Back then, a lot of southern whites were still Democrats, and Reagan’s Democratic opponent was a southern white. Reagan’s strategists knew just where to fire the arrow.

Loper scored big points with me after he rolled forward for a first down after a fumble. Awareness is a good attribute for a linemen.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:28 am
I think the Raiders have regressed. The overall roster is already worse. Gradkowski played a pivotal role in our success last year. He’s gone. And the Raiders could have easily afforded him. It doesn’t make any sense.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:30 am
Gradekowski has a limp arm. I do appreciate his effort in 2009, but with Russell calling the shots a chimp could have rallied the team.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Almost through the 1st qtr and Loper is blocking pretty well. And he hasn’t had one false start or holding penalty. I can see why we didn’t miss a beat with him replacing Gallery.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Why is it that whenever white people talk about race, they’re being real, but when black people talk about race, they’re racists? lol
June 7th, 2011 at 10:33 am
Why is the roster worse? What’s different about it? There is a lot of assumed names that are gone, but until this all plays out, we don’t know for sure who is leaving us. Likewise, we don’t know who we’ll score in free agency.
You could make a case that you don’t like the changes at the coaching staff and that would be a valid arugment. The 2011 Oakland Raiders class is incomplete for now. Too early to judge, or even know what you are judging.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:36 am
My only beef so far is the ousting of Marshall for Chuck B. I hate this move. But I like the moves of HueJack for Cable, like the retainment of Waufel. I like the addition of Rod Woodson.
Obvious things in need of fixing is finding a decent backup QB, and infusing veteran talent at the OL and WR positions.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:36 am
How do you determine Gradkowski has a limp arm? Can he or can he not throw accurately within the range that most passes in this league are thrown? Most QBs in the league can’t fire off 50 yard bombs with pin point accuracy. A QB that can throw accurately within 20 yards, yet can’t throw long is twenty times more valuable in the NFL than a QB who’s accurate with the deep ball, yet just can’t get the ball to his receivers within 20 yards.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Hahahahaha…Grad won one game MR….again you are a liar. He didnt have a vital role in our success. He turned it over and wasnt accurate. Raiders havent regressed. You are against JC cuz Al likes him

Well, Brien, if Grad doesn’t win that one game, the team is below .500. Don’t forget he also won the Arizona game, but Jano missed the chip shot to make it official. You’d have to be insane to believe that Bruce Gradkowski wasn’t one of the best backup QBs in the league last year. Anyone who believes that has more of an agenda against Gradkowski than any Al hater has against Al.

June 7th, 2011 at 10:43 am
Thinking back on the Miami game, it was one collective FU to Al Davis from the coaching staff, whether intentionally or not.
Cable got Bruce to start, Marshall took his safety blitz scheme to a whole new level, and Hue ran a bunch of wildcat and other nonsense that didn’t work.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:43 am
Brien you have 20 times an agenda against Gradkowski that any Davis hater has against Al. Just listen to yourself.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:44 am
I like Grads, like his toughness, grit, all that. But he can’t keep himself healthy. He waits too long to deliver the ball. It’s a beauty of a ball that he can throw and it may lack zip, but it gets where it needs to. But poor Grads takes the shot over and over again, because he lacks the overall talent level and arm strength of a JCamp (or other avg QB). Staying healthy is a talent too, and Grads has never had the ability to stay upright for long. It’s a shame, because he was a really good film studier, X’s and O’s guy. Maybe he’d be a good coach one day. But if we lose Grads, I think we would have an upgrade by picking up any of the available FA vet QB’s out there.

The one bright spot of the 2009 season was Gradkowsi throwing 3 touchdowns in 1 quarter. The first Raider quarterback to accomplish this feat since Ken Stabler.

I don’t think there is any team in the league that has fans who would be so hostile toward a backup QB who played as well as Gradkowski. Where is this coming from?

It’s just one game. Marshall led the Raiders to almost the league lead in sacks in one season. I prefer to remember the blitzing that confused and addled Phillip Rivers into hearing footsteps in that first game at the coliseum. I’d give Marshall a pass for anything after that beating of SD.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:48 am
J Hill, what do you mean by Gradkowski having a noodle arm? Is he incapable of making throws between 5-15 yards, which is the distance most passes are thrown in this league? A QB accurate within this distance with no deep accuracy is far more valuable in the NFL than a QB with deep accuracy, yet with no accuracy between 5-15 yards. What would you rather have? Why have a deep threat QB who can’t get anything done underneath? He would be useless in this league. Just useless. So please explain to me what you mean by Gradkowski haveing a “noodle arm”.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:48 am

I thought that was the issue that Campbell, Russell, and all the previous Raider QBs have had?
Could it possibly be that the QBs are looking downfield and nothing is open?
June 7th, 2011 at 10:51 am
Like I said, I will never understand the hostility so many Raider fans have toward Gradkowski. It is flat out bizarre. It’s unexplainable. No fans of any other team in the league would be so hostile to a backup QB that’s accomplished what he has. They may not agree that he should start, but they wouldn’t throw him under the bus the way so many Raider fans do Gradkowski. It doesn’t make any sense, like a lot of things Raiders.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:52 am
MR is a liar….he said Grad was vital to our success last season but he went 1-3 as starter turning it over more than scoring lol
June 7th, 2011 at 10:53 am
Bruce Gradkowski holds multiple NFL records believe it or not. The 4th quarter game in Pitt set a few, and he actually holds the NFL record for most passes between career INT #1 and #2 (breaking Johnny U’s record).
Dude runs hot and cold, and you can’t have that as a full-time starter.
But as a backup, he is perfect, because when he gets hot, he might be an upgrade over the starter.
Than when he starts to cool, you get him out of there.
I still wouldn’t be suprised at all if he comes back. I think there is a greater chance he comes back than Nnamdi and Huff.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:53 am
Brien, usually when you’re accusing people of lying, or claiming some kind of victory in a discussion (lol), you’re out of answers. You don’t think I can tell how your brain works by now? If you have something remotely intelligent to say, you’ll say it. If you don’t, you go right to this crap.

Did you see the Miami game?
Too many hits = not healthy = noodle arm = should not have been on the field
June 7th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Could it possibly be that the QBs are looking downfield and nothing is open?
**********
WR’s that can’t get open due to poor route running or can’t catch the balls because of inconsistent hands. QB play is usually a series of steps, quick read and throw. If the QB goes through his progressions, reads, finds no one open, what does he do? Hang on to the ball, risk the sack, or throw it away.
I agree at some point, the WR’s need to be blamed, and not poor Grads.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Grad isnt good….and you outta hear 49er fans get on their qbs…..as well as Cards fans and few other teams wreck their qb. What did grad accomplish really? He is a loser as a starter
June 7th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Brien, he won at least one game for us. And, that game put us at .500. Had he lost that game, you wouldn’t hold it against him? Furthermore, we would have been 9-7, and in the playoffs, thanks partly to Gradkowski’s work in Arizona, had Al’s prized first round kicker made perhaps the easiest field goal attempt of his career.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:56 am
half way through the 2nd qtr and I don’t see any reason why Loper won’t be our starting LG next year.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:57 am
49er fans get on their starter, who should have been benched years ago. I’ve never seen 49er fans as hostile toward a backup as you and so many other Raider fans are toward Gradkowski. I’ve never seen it with any team.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:57 am
Lol grad go thru progressions? thats funny
June 7th, 2011 at 10:57 am
I think Grads is a serviceable back up at best, but no starter! Only for the obvious that he cannot stay healthy! That St. Louis game…it was a spark and we were only down 4 or 7 (sorry forgot the score). AZ, it should have never come to Jano attempting any kick…although, yes, he should have made that supposedly chip shot! Against Miami…it was painfully obvious that the man was hurt…why wasn’t he replaced?
June 7th, 2011 at 10:57 am
I’m not here to say Bruce has a strong arm. Clearly arm strength is his weakness.
But even in the Miami game, that one lucky deep pass that he completed to Ford when he stole the ball from the defender, that ball went close to 60 yards in the air.

Biggest plays of the Az game were the KO return for a TD and Gardowski taking a delay of game at the 1 foot line.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:00 am
J Hill, did Gradkwoski have a “noodle arm” against Arizona and St. Louis?
When the Steelers were watching game film in preparation for the Raiders last year, watching Gradkowski slice their defense apart a year earlier, were they calling him “noodle arm”? Were they saying, “oh, I hope they get noodle arm in there!”? I’m more inclined to believe that they thought they were getting a break with Campbell starting.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:00 am
Against Miami…it was painfully obvious that the man was hurt…why wasn’t he replaced?
******************************
A good question for Hue.
And while we are asking him, might want to ask him why he had his noodle-armed, bum shoulder QB throwing a 12 step bootleg 50 yard pattern to Ford, in a close game on 1st and 10.
Worst play-call ever!!!!!!!
Why would Hue think that would have worked?
June 7th, 2011 at 11:00 am
J Hill, what about Janikowski missing the field goal? That wasn’t big?
June 7th, 2011 at 11:02 am
But even in the Miami game, that one lucky deep pass that he completed to Ford when he stole the ball from the defender, that ball went close to 60 yards in the air.
J Hill, can you confirm this for us?
——————————————————-
One game at a time, bruh!
60 yds in the Miami game though??? I don’t recall that. I remember a nice throw to Ford that went about 25 yds in the air. He threw it before Ford turned around and Ford adjusted nicely and walked in the end zone.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:03 am
Yes, and that KO return by AZ to start the game was horrible…well, so was that delay of game that would have punched it in and we wouldn’t see Jano!
The Miami game that Ford stole from the defender…was it 60 yards?
June 7th, 2011 at 11:03 am
It’s kind of funny ripping on Grads who is likely not even on our roster next year. Is Campbell anyone feel that is going to take the Raiders to the SB?
Anyone? Anyone?
June 7th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Vegas…..can grad zip the ball on a 15 yard out route? thank you
June 7th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Bruce sucks!
He sucks!
He’s the worst QB ever!
Ever in the history of the game!
He’s not even good enough to be a pop warner QB!
He’s not even an athlete!
He can’t even bench press 10 lbs!
He can’t do one pullup!
He can’t even throw a ball, any ball. Not even a baseball!
He can’t even go outside, without like 20 asthma inhalers!
He’s the biggest p ussy ever! Ever! To ever walk the face of the earth!
There. Now I’m a real Raider fan again.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:05 am
2nd half, after the INT in the end zone, going opposite of the black hole.
He wound up, threw at as far as possible, and Ford stole it from the defender.
I remember rewinding it and it went like 58 yards in the air from what I recall.
But of course I watched it once, sauced up, so it could have been only 48 yards, lol.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:05 am
Guest….for that too happen with JC…we gotta fix our holes on oline,fb and wr on offense. Plus defense missing 3 players. JC cant carry us

—————————————————–
Is that the one that was picked??
The announcer was ALL OVER Gardowski for not getting that ball out on time, lol.
12 steps????
I doubt that was by design.
Ford was WIDE open. Gardowski cuts that down to 6 steps and it’s 6 pts!
June 7th, 2011 at 11:06 am
Gradkowski is a solid backup. I think Vince Young is coming to Oakland. Although, Al might not want to sign a headcase.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:06 am

Anyone going to Madden Retard’s big scary fight today at Olive Garden? I’ve been trying not to laugh for the last 20 hours so there’s plenty saved up.

Raiders 2nd poorest revenue in the NFL.
——————
Forbes magazine estimates that there is a revenue gap exceeding $200 million between the NFL’s top and bottom earners (see graph on the right). Teams like the Cowboys ($420 million), Redskins ($353 million) and Patriots ($318 million) are no match for some of the league’s low revenue teams like the Raiders ($217 million), Jaguars ($220 million) or Vikings ($221 million), despite the NFL’s revenue-sharing system.

Good hire to by the Warriors to give Jackson a shot. Better than any retread out there.
I have been saying for over a year now, the Warriors have needed to get what they can and trade Monte Ellis. They need talent. They can look to draft PF/C 7′0, 225 Donatas Motiejunas or SF/BG 6′8, 228lbs Jordan Hamilton to replace Monte Ellis at the BIG 2 GUARD position if they indeed trade Ellis for a big man. Hamilton can swing as a big guard or small forward.

Guest, I think you and Brien are both downplaying Gradkowski’s value. I don’t think he’s as bad as you guys think he is. You guys both seem to pass off these opinions on Gradkowski as if they are undisputed gospel. Like I told Brien earlier, I seriously doubt when the Steelers were watching game film last year in preparation for us, that they were laughing at Gradkowski and calling him “noodle arm”. If anything, the defending champions were probably glad he wasn’t starting. He flat out diced them apart.

Correction: The steelers were not defending champions last year. That would have been the year before, when Gradkowski beat them.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:16 am
Ok JFB ….
Gardowski let’s it go from the 12 yds line and Ford catches it at the 32.
I think that’s 56 yds or so.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:18 am
But the pass was underthrown, JFB.
Ford had to slow down and make a cirus takeaway from the defender.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:18 am
When you pool all of the factors, everything down the line, from marketing, free agency, team organization, coaching, players, talent, scouting, the top solution for all of these areas is for Al Davis to step down. There is no better solution. Basically, the answer to all of the Raiders’ problems right now, every single one, is for Al to leave. Why won’t he? Doesn’t he want his team to win? As the Sting song says, if you love someone, set them free, right? lol. Does Al Davis really love the Raiders, or are they just a possession? A toy? No different than a kid in a sand box refusing to share his plastic shovel?

Kelly….whats your operating income as a dark skin black man in America?
June 7th, 2011 at 11:27 am
Who missed the block that in essence destroyed Bruce’s AC joint?
=====================================================
The correct answer to that is – no one.
Bruce fkd up his shoulder due to his own stupidity against the Texans.
That shoulder was pulverized on the scramble against Houston, and was entirely avoidable if Grads got down.
Grads returned that same game but it was obvious his motion wasn’t the same and his passes lacked whatever zip they had before.
Shoulder popped again against SD so it was obviously still unstable.
Shoulder still wasn’t right for the Miami game, and when it popped again at the end of the game, it should have been obvious this was a season ending (and possibly career ending injury, ala Matt Stafford) that would require surgery and extensive rehab.
Grads resisted this option and still hoped to play again in 2010.
Guy has a huge heart, but a small brain when it comes to self preservation on the field.
Sometimes you have to realize it’s best to live to fight another day, rather than looking like a special teams kamikaze player scrambling against Hou.
You also have to know the difference between being injured and being hurt and when to shut it down for the benefit of the TEAM.
JaJason sucks, and Gradkowski understandably wanted his job. After JaJason’s performances against Tenn and St Louis, he had it.
He wasn’t smart enough or durable enough to keep it.
But if the Raids do retain Grads, and he is healthy, he will win the job again.
By default.
JaJason sux.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:27 am
Brien, everything you, priest, and HayesDaze say about Gruden today, you’ll be saying about Hue Jackson in 2 years.

The Bush injury early in the year was a set back. Same with the injuries to Murphy, Nnamdi, and McClain.

But someone I used to work with, who actually comes from a wealthy family, one of those trust fund babies who likes to work anyway just to prove to the fam he isn’t lazy, says he knows a lot of money people in the bay area, and that for the past few years Al Davis has been going around to some of them, and others who they know, basically begging them like a panhandler to buy shares of the Raiders, to give him more of an “operating value”. That was the term this guy used, as well. Again, total gossip. Typical ‘my co-worker’s best friend’s neighbors roommate told me’ stuff. Figured I’d just throw it out there.

June 7th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Today, ownership is pulling in two mutually exclusive directions at once. The Have-Nots want a revenue sharing agreement that guarantees financial viability and on-the-field competitiveness for small market teams while the Haves think the “Bottom-feeders”, “pick-pockets”, “freeloaders” and “commie bastards” should start carrying their own weight and find ways to increase their own revenue streams. You know, like, build a stadium or something. Or move to LA. Or something.

If I’m Vince Young, I’m looking at two franchises to land with, if and when free agency resumes.
Minnesota and Oakland.
VY has already proven that his unique scrambling ability coupled with a strong running attack and very good deep ball can generate points and wins in the NFL.
AP and DMAC would be nice weapons to couple with VY.
Oakland is the better long term destination for VY, as the Vikings are apparently committed to developing 1st round pick Ponder as their QB of the future.
In Oakland, VY would only have to beat out JaJason, and that’s child play.
If VY comes to Oakland, he will not only beat out JaJason with ease, he’ll be in the perfect position to lead a team on the rise to the playoffs and become the Raider franchise QB.
Get it done, Al.

The Cavs would be stupid if the took Irving at #1.
The way to build a team is to take the athletic wing, above the rim, explosive player in Sean Williams at #1 and then take either PG Knight or Walker at #4!
THAT’S the way you build a team! If Cavs take Irving #1 they will be regretting it.

VY couldn’t beat out 38 year old Kerry Collins, but beating JCamp (29 years old) who just got us an 8-8 record including 6-0 in the AFC West is cake?
Child Please…
==============================================
JaRockstar, it’s true VY didn’t beat out Kerry.
Fisher really blew that decision.
That was obvious when the Titans started 0-6 with Collins, and went something like 8-2 with VY the rest of the way.
Could be why Fisher is unemployed right now.
There’s no doubt in my mind that VY easily beats out JaJason, if VY has his head on straight.
Of course, that’s just an opinion and I know you disagree.
VY’s mental issues are surely a concern any team must consider before signing him.
I guess the real question is, if VY can put his mental issues behind him would you rather have VY or JC at QB ?
I don’t think VY would be a very expensive signing and once he’s released it won’t cost any draft picks – so what do the Raids have to lose ?
IF, the gamble works out, and I grant you that’s a big if, the upside is huge. The downside is negligible.
Do it, Al.

Yep! All this Irving going #1 to the Cavs talk is stupidity and such a one dimensional way of thinking.
Cavs need to go with Williams at #1 and then take Knight or Walker at 4! Then they will have a shot at turning things around.
If they take Irving at #1…they will remain bad for awhile.

June 7th, 2011 at 12:49 pm
I have know issue with Grad’s being a back up QB, but he is not a starter in this league. I always described the way we played with Grads in the game is a scrappy sand lot ball player. He comes in with nothing to loose and when a play breaks down he trys to make a play. He was hurt a lot because he just can’t sit in the pocket and rely on a strong arm and quick release to get the ball downfield. I don’t think that is what we need at this time. We need someone who has a strong arm and the leadership to get this team lined up and in rythm. Like JC or not he put together some games that actually looked like we were watching a real NFL QB. He has a strong enough arm and is smart enough to put the ball where it needs to be for the WRs to make plays. I think he is going to have a good year when ever we have football.
Grads is tough but he never was Gannon.
June 7th, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Give me JC over VY any day of the week. To many “ifs” are never a good thing. With JC he makes plays for us or he does not. Him being of sound mind and body is not an issue. I would rather deal with that as a franchise with money and time invested rather than the later.

****Wake up Al ain’t buying “what if free agents” no more******
By the way Raider Nation for the record we will not go after the following players:
-Vince Young
-TO
-Chad Johnson
-Burress
-Ricky Williams
Sorry fellas, I think change is hard but the Raiders and Al Davis’s mind set has changed. We no longer gamble on free agents with a lot of baggage any longer. All the free Agents brought in after the Walker and Hall deal are team first, community second type of players. Al has stayed away from big time talent with troubled back grounds and a pattern of locker room conflict and PR control.
I know some of you will talk about the need is greater than the downside and we can get em for cheap. Yada… Yada…Yada!!! But Al ain’t buying. They are building the Raiders now through the draft and with veterans with a chip on their shoulder who will also be role models for the rookies brought in. Anyone outside of that mold they are not buying!
The days of building a one hit wonder through free agency with big named price tagged players with a little fuel left in their tank is over.
If Al buys a rookie off the free agent used car lot it is because he got a great deal!

CJLegend
I’m telling this kids(Ford) speed is ridiculous he’s probably the fastest player ever to wear the silver and black including Bo. If he touches the football more than twice in a drive your chances of scoring are probably somewhere near 80%. If he gets a 20 yard run it’s probably going to go 80 because he gets faster at 30+ yards you have to time a guy like him inn the 60 instead of the 40 to get his true speed. The NFL is in for a shock if this kid really takes off it’ll be him and DeSean Jackson.

Besides that pic being 40 yrs old, wats also obvious is Michael Kelly has zero listings, and according to others who list prop sold in last year, Michael Kelly hasn’t sold anything in one long time.
I think the wifey is probably thinking twice about working all day while her sig other is blogging??
June 7th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Jhill as usual dont get it…. Nene plays center so trade for Bosh talk has been put to death. Duncan will not command big money since he is on the backend of career…….lord jhill
June 7th, 2011 at 1:48 pm

Bauce, if you don’t want to be exposed as an antisemite, quit making antisemitic remarks.

You’re the one that needs to stand down.

They are sticking up for their guy Posey, but the blame should be on Scheirholtz.

Money Ball was a great book, and highlighted a great time for small-market, no attendance, baseball.
But since that book came out, nothing but head-scratchers from Billy, and .500 ball for the A’s.
But what the A’s need most, is a new stadium. That place is awful for baseball.
New park = new fans coming out just to see = more revenues = more quality players
June 7th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Vegas,
I’ll be going after Billy Beene, as time permits
He’s turned the A’s into the most boring team in all of Sports.
June 7th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
My brother and I are the only family black sheep SF Giants fans.
Uncles and cousins use to go to at least a dozen A’s games a year (also Raider season tickets).
Amazingly they still have season tickets for the Raiders, but only go to A’s-Yankees, because as my uncle called it “it’s the only time I really feel like I am at a pro baseball game.”
June 7th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Ebanks, Caracter and Trey Johnson are the youth and speed we need to replace Fisher, Walton, and Artest.

Jhill,
Who ???
that is like the Raiders counting on Nick Miller, Shaun Bodiford, Damola Adeniji & David Ausberry for 20 catches each in 2011!
June 7th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Please, can we have a training camp without Bodiford and Will Franklin??
No need to see them anymore.
June 7th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Lakers are far from done. They gonna get Howard or CP3 soon!

Wouldn’t you think Ron Wolf would want his son to study under the Genius, Al Davis?
____________________________________________________
In nine years as Green Bay’s general manager, Ron Wolf made many of the moves that turned the Packers into one of the best franchises in football. Now Wolf’s son is climbing up the Packers’ organizational ladder.
The Packers announced today that Eliot Wolf, who is entering his eighth season with the Packers, has been named assistant director of player personnel.
“Eliot is an important part of our personnel staff,” Packers G.M. Ted Thompson said in the team’s announcement. “Over the years, his responsibilities and duties have continued to grow. His contributions to our efforts in pro scouting have been tremendous, and he has taken on more in the college scouting and draft preparations. We believe this adjustment is an appropriate recognition of his continued growth within our personnel group.”
The 28-year-old Wolf served as assistant director of pro personnel for the past three seasons and a pro personnel assistant for four seasons before that.
Wolf’s bio on the Packers’ site says he started helping his dad study film when he was 10.

June 7th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Jhill,
Mike Brown without LeBron James is as good as Jim Caldwell without Peyton Manning …
Phil Jackson was one of the top 3 coaches in NBA history. You don’t get BETTER when he decides to retire
80 percent chance they don’t even finish Top 5 in the West
Mike Brown replacing PJ would be like Jim Fassel replacing Bill Belichick imo
June 7th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
Krappy maybe if you told Ron Wolf you’ve been to Copenhagen he’ll come work for the Raiders.
June 7th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
but Wade, James & Bosh is WAY outta line !!!
——————————————————-
Not outta line at all.
The only issue at hand in that line of thinking is LeBron taking his name outta the running for one of the greatest players ever.
LeBron and Bosh going to Miami was GREAT for DWade.
June 7th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
I think Mike Brown is a damn good coach.
I was really hoping they would go with some inexperienced guy that Kobe would just punk.
I don’t think Kobe is punking Mike Brown or at least not to the degree that Kobe would other green coaches.
June 7th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Not only is there a chance we wont get a football season now with Tiger injured I have no sporting events to watch.
I wish I liked baseball or basketball.
June 7th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
RRS,
The Lakers will be better than they were this year. Mike Brown will have as little to do with that as PJ had to do with the Lakers tanking this season.
Coaches don’t matter. Spoelstra is all of a sudden the best coach in the league? Not likely.
June 7th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Spoelstra was a video guy, cutting up film in the basement in the 20’s.
There is still hope for you J Hill!! Keep up the film studies and you can replace Priest’s role with the team in a few years.
Director of Administrative Affairs in the scouting department
June 7th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Exactly JFB.
Mike Brown is going to run this team through the 2 7 footers like San Antonio did with Duncan and Robinson.
The key to all of this if going to be Gasoft. If Brown can get this guy to play defense, it’s over.
Brown is NOT going to start Fisher and Artest. Trust me on that one.
June 7th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
JFB,
Kobe doesn’t “punk” any coaches or refs around the league. he pouts & whines. he’s not a leader
he’s NOT one of the greatest players ever imo
He’ll probably lobby to get some bigger named stars on the Lakers, and in the process throw guys like Gasol, Artest, Bynum, Odom & Fisher under the bus … when they carried the Lakers through the playoffs (including finals) last year
June 7th, 2011 at 3:00 pm

I’m not sure what Priest was getting at last night, but his stats were all out of whack.
I think he tried to say Rick Barry scored 70+ 20 times. Or at least that’s how it read.
And Wilt averaged way more shots per game than what he said as well.
Good think he works in scouting and not accounting for us!!!
June 7th, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Priest is not above LYING to make one of his bogus points.

JFB,
I think Tiger Woods is burnt out. He could retire on his laurels. But competitive golf in ones forties is common. It will be interesting to see if he gets a second wind.
June 7th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Twocents,
Competition is much better these days than what Tiger faced in his younger years.
These young dudes are not scared of him, and hit the ball further than him.
I think Tiger will have a Mike Tyson like career, one of the best in his 20’s, and not even relevant after 35 or so years old.
June 7th, 2011 at 3:16 pm

June 7th, 2011 at 3:26 pm
I can relate to Tiger a little.
I am also the victim of negative re-enforcement.
Tiger goes around scrogging anything and everything, and is the best golfer ever. Goes on the straight and narrow and can’t win or stay healthy.
I try to go sober for awhile, and I can’t focus on work. Burn a little at lunch, and I can spin a masterful web and produce.
Some people have the devil in them, and some of those have the ability to use it to their advantage.
June 7th, 2011 at 3:26 pm
Bauce, hitting snatch weakens your legs. But who cares!
June 7th, 2011 at 3:28 pm
Citing people close to the organization, CBS Sports’ Clark Judge reports that the Eagles are “indifferent” about signing free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.
“I’ve heard too many people say the Eagles aren’t all that jacked up about Asomugha not to pay attention,” writes Judge. Judge points out that Asomugha “will cost a fortune,” and has really only played right cornerback in his career. The Eagles also have a history of trying to get younger, and Asomugha turns 30 in a month. Concludes Judge, “they just don’t think he’s the right guy for them.” Judge’s most believable line of reasoning is the money factor. Asomugha is going to easily surpass $12 million a year.
——————
Sweet, If Asomugha doesn’t go to the Eagles he’s not going anywhere!

***************************
Tiger’s girl was hot and seemed legit, but who knows, she could have been a huge prude.
Tiger, with his golf-only adolescence and chicks that don’t shave at Stanford, probably wasn’t ready for primetime when he first got married.
And she probably didn’t practice her skills too much as a Scandanavian nanny.
Probably two duds in the sack together. Tiger needed porn stars to up his game and once he saw the light, he left that wife in the rear-view.
June 7th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Golf is for losers. What’s the deal with that dork Phil Mickelson? You call that nerd an athlete? That’s like worshiping Bill Gates for his bowling skill.
If you watch golf on TV, you might as well put an offer down on Krappy’s town home. Both give you an equal chance of getting laid by an actual woman – zero.

A joke about the Oakland Raiders fan base has landed Tonight Show host Jay Leno in hot water.
During a recent broadcast of the NBC staple, Leno delivered a joke about the plethora of California inmates being released due to overcrowding translating into good news for Raiders season ticket sales.
The problem for the late night host is a nearly identical joke was delivered two nights earlier by Andy Levy on FOX News’ “Red Eye.”
Leno’s joke from May 26: “”Bad news for the state of California. The Supreme Court will force the state to release something like 46,000 convicts because of prison overcrowding. But the good news: it looks like the Oakland Raiders will have more season ticket holders!”
Levy’s joke from May 24: “Supreme Court orders tens of thousands of California prisoners released. This actually might help the Raiders start selling out their home games again.”
Levy and “Red Eye” host Greg Gutfeld called out Leno on a subsequent broadcast.
“I can’t believe you traveled to the future, stole that joke from Jay, then traveled back to tell it on ‘Red Eye,’” Gutfeld jested on-air, per the Huffington Post.

So….if there is a sup draft, to we put in an offer for Pryor?
I would give up a 4th rounder for him, but nothing else.
We just can’t go into camp WITH ONLY Boller and Frye as backups. Didn’t Frye go on IR, before camp even started last year?
Be it Pryor, VY or even Bruce, we need some better options under Soup.

The Raider players concluded a four day OTA style camp at the end of May. The camp was such a success that plans were almost immediately put in place to get together again during the offseason. Now Raider receiver Louis Murphy has confirmed that the team will hold another camp in July.
No word yet on what the itinerary will be for the July camp. In the previous camp the team implemented the playbook in 7-on-7 drills against other NFL players. There were five rookies in attendance looking to get a feel for their new teammates. The additional camp will continue that process and hopefully it will include the three Raider draft picks who weren’t in attendance.
Richard Seymour arranged and funded the last camp. We will see if one of his Raider teammates steps up and foots the bill this time.
This camp is very likely contingent upon whether a new CBA can be reached in the meantime. There are rumors bubbling up again that an agreement between the NFL and the players could be reached in the coming days. If that happens, the player planned camp could be canceled in favor of regularly scheduled training camp.
Then again, the Raiders could simply take the already planned player camp and make it official. An additional minicamp would be much needed to acclimate whatever undrafted free agents as well as any veteran free agents the team may acquire. There is much lost time to make up for either way.

Comng up at 8:oo et on NFLN they are showing the 1974 Sea of Hands game. Raiders ended the Dolphins two year reign as champions.
This “greatest games” show is 90 min’s long. in depth. I think this shows that Oakland might have caught a break in this one.
Cliff Branch’s sliding catch might have hit the ground and shoulda been incomplete. Of course there was no replay in 1974. lol.
Great game. Wish I could’ve been watching it live, but a lil before my time. Have to enjoy it through NFL Films.
Might be something to DVR, while watching hoops. Enjoy.

Not trying to be a jerk Priest, but when I read your post, I wasn’t buying the stats even though I agreed with some of the theory.
Wilt with all those points only shooting 17 times a game??
Come on now, you are smart enough to know that wasn’t right!!!
Dude almost averaged 40 shots a game one year!!
I will thank you for leading me to look at Wilt’s stats though, because they are crazy. He averaged 48.5 minutes a game one year , (LMAO at that), and 45.8 minutes a game FOR HIS CAREER!!
Also bagging mega-tail and playing all those minutes, and jacking up all those shots??

I’m on the 4th round offering for Pryor bandwagon. Really wouldn’t be all that mad if it was a 3rd (no 2 though).

Why wouldn’t anyone want him as the 3rd QB over Chuck Potato??
Charlie is probably frailer than Bruce.

Jews, moron – say it.
So called ? Subscribe to that Khazar nonsense, do you ?
Bauce, you don’t know squat about Jews or Judaism.
I don’t mind you being an antisemite.
Just don’t be so obvious about it and then deny it.
From your words we are to assume Stern wants the series to be extended because he’s a ‘jue’ and the ‘jue’ wants money.
Of course, any commish – white, black, yellow, christian, muslim or ‘jue’ would want the series to go 7 bcz it’s better for the NBA and would bring in more money.
But you found it necessary to bring up the fact that Stern is a Jew.
“david stern is a jue and wants that money”
You’re an antisemitic prick. Your own words prove it.
Be a man and admit it.

Wouldn’t you think Ron Wolf would want his son to study under the Genius, Al Davis?
____________________________________________________
In nine years as Green Bay’s general manager, Ron Wolf made many of the moves that turned the Packers into one of the best franchises in football. Now Wolf’s son is climbing up the Packers’ organizational ladder.
The Packers announced today that Eliot Wolf, who is entering his eighth season with the Packers, has been named assistant director of player personnel.
“Eliot is an important part of our personnel staff,” Packers G.M. Ted Thompson said in the team’s announcement. “Over the years, his responsibilities and duties have continued to grow. His contributions to our efforts in pro scouting have been tremendous, and he has taken on more in the college scouting and draft preparations. We believe this adjustment is an appropriate recognition of his continued growth within our personnel group.”
The 28-year-old Wolf served as assistant director of pro personnel for the past three seasons and a pro personnel assistant for four seasons before that.
Wolf’s bio on the Packers’ site says he started helping his dad study film when he was 10.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/03/packers-promote-ron-wolfs-son/
********************************************************
All due respect Kell, but I think you’re trying to make a statement here that the Wolfs aren’t making.
The kid obviously grew up professionally in the Packers’ organization, and is being promoted from within. Not sure why you’re trying to infer that it means that he is staying in Green Bay rather than work for the Raiders. He’s been there awhile, probably has family there, and is familiar with the organization. Sounds to me like an ideal situation. Can’t think of too many people that would want to up and relocate when they have that much going for themselves right where they are; can you?
I don’t think his staying in Green Bay has anything whatsoever to do with Al Davis or the Raiders.
June 7th, 2011 at 5:23 pm

At any rate my point was I had zero idea that MJ eventhough I used to call him a HOG took amost as many shots as Allen Iverson. He took 25 shots a game……that is mind boggling.
By comparison Barkley took 16 a game, Kobe(the selfish ball player) only took 20 a game.
MJ was the biggest ball hog of any of the top 15 all time players BY FAR!!!!!!!!

I don’t know about that.

This replay of the Sea of Hands game is awesome. I remember watching that game as a kid and the ending was just about the greatest thing I’d ever seen in my life to that point. Listening to the Dolphins make excuses about the field being wet and everything else they could think about makes watching the replay that much sweeter.
Thanks to whoever it was that mentioned it on here.
June 7th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Vegas,
That’s sort of a sore spot with me right now. lol. I remember when Pryor was playing in that Army HS All star game and he was the no. 1 blue chip QB in the country. He chose Columbus over Rich Rod’s spread offense at Meeeeshigan.
I remember my friend who’s a UM season ticket holder, saying screw Pryor. Him and his entourage are gonna be nothing but trouble. He’d been reading bad things about him.
At the time, I thought it was sour grapes on his part. Now, maybe he was onto something. Tressel, as a grown man and longtime NCAA coach should have known better than to lie and try and cover for him. He’s got his own self to blame. But Pryor was at the epicenter of this scandal.
As a QB, he might be worth a mid rd gamble in the sup draft. As a project, developmental prospect. Might be a poor man’s Cam Newton. Not as powerful a runner, but very deceptive speed, with long strides. Good athlete, could be a steal. Can make all the throws, and some occasional highlight plays.
He has accuracy issues at times. He can be a very exciting player, but was also sort of frustrating for me, for some reason. Always awaiting for him to “arrive”.
Keep Grads or Boller as a backup, and Pryor as a developmental third QB might not be a bad idea. Not a 3rd rd pick, though.

Look at Bo’s screen name.
You guys tell me, did my exposing of him get under his skin?
June 7th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
lol
June 7th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
And a hyperlinked photo. You were exposed, Bo, and it’s on your mind. Big time. Look at you now. Trying to fight it off with crude humor. You know what you said. Everyone knows what you said, despite some of your Al worshiping brothers desperately (and shamelessly) coming to your aid.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
MR, from now on pls refer to me as Kid Dyn-O-Mite
June 7th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
BTW the Raiders have to make a strong run at T Pryor even if it’s a 4th which I don’t think it will be but they need a kid of that kind of talent to groom. They can probably get him for a 5th but I wouldn’t mind reaching for him and get this QB situation behind us.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:30 pm
Hey MR, Marcia Brady was hot too. Call the fuzz on me or stifle yourself. Edith.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Bo, humor isn’t going to make this go away. Only you admitting you’re a pervert, and seeking therapy. I can only hope you haven’t acted out on your urges yet. You belong in prison if you have. An 11 year old girl is not “hot”, Bo. Under any circumstances.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Looks like he’s actually laughing at you, MR.
That escape you?
June 7th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
LMAO! Adding Pryor puts “this QB situation behind us.”
Yeah, someone HAS to get the ball to our number one receiver Arman Shields.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Archive Tony,
He slinks away for a couple of days. Comes back, flees again when I repost his comments. Then he comes back and starts to explain the comments. Then, today, he comes back, starts joking about it. Why not that undaunted response first? Why does it take days to slip into this, ” I said it, I don’t care” alter ego? Why did he first disappear, then try to explain the comments several times? Because he knows he let out one sick Fruedian slip.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Well Bo what’s your solution? at some point we need someone to groom I think TP is as good as anyone we could’ve gotten late in the draft and for a 5th what the hell do you expect Andrew Luck??
June 7th, 2011 at 7:40 pm
This is Bo’s 3rd act. His first act was to bail for a while. Second act was to explain it. Third act is now this jokester persona. “Yeah, I said an 11 year old girl was hot. So what? I’ll put it in my screen name!”. He’s lost it. Oh, I forgot to mention, on Day 1, when he left those comments, he first tried to explain it by saying he’s a “heterosexual”. That’s how warped this guy is.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:40 pm
So MR thinks I’m a pervert who needs therapy. What’s next, Kell telling me I’m an octaroon with no career?
June 7th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
I was watching one of those MSNBC prison specials once. They asked a locked up perv why he was into underage girls. His answer? Same as Bo said. “It’s normal. All men are attracted to girls”. That’s what they do. They normalize it in their head.

Such faux outrage. It humors me no end.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
You equated pedophilia to heterosexuality. I warned you that Janet Jackson on good times was 11 years old. Your response was something like, “It’s because I’m heterosexual, not like you”. Normalizing your pedophilia. It’s a trait.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Outrage? In response to a grown man saying that an 11 year old girl is “hot”? Uh, yes. Exactly. Appropriate response.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:49 pm
Oh! so you know the future OK? as I thought shutup!!
June 7th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
I know what Bo’s future is going to be like if he doesn’t get help. It’s going to involve steel bars, a bunch of fellow men who don’t take kindly to people like him, and a literal pain in his ass.
June 7th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
Other option on posters wandering off, and wandering back is that most of us have committments.

June 7th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Archive Tony, what commitments do you have? lol. You call yourself “archive”. Sounds like your commitment is right here. Oh, also, you’re defending the indefensible, btw. That’s not too cool, either. No grown man uses the word “hot” to describe an 11 year old girl. Even if he was a kid when he was attracted to her. You don’t say she was “hot”. A grow man doesn’t put the term “hot” and the name of likeliness of an 11 year old girl into the same sentence. If you think it’s ok, like I said, maybe you’ve got the same issue as Bo. People who say things like that, AND THEIR SYMPATHIZERS (you), need to be watched. Just the way it is.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:12 pm
The way LeBron James is playing in this series is all-time stupid. This idea that he can be a passive offensive player nad they win this series is the most moronic strategy I’ve ever witnessed in the 47 years that I have been an avid NBA fan.
If their coach continues to allow that sort of approach he is an absolute MORON!!. and would NEVER coach another game for me in fact just based on what I’ve seen so far the Finals are way to big for Eric Speolstra. He has allowed 2games to be GIVEN away.
I’m with the Mav’s to win the series I can’t support this kind of coaching I’m done with the Heat………….period
June 7th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
What commitments do I have?
family. You? obviously not.
job. You? obviously not.
friends? You? lol, do I even need to go there?
Ignorant to state my commitment is here, when I’m rarely here. Then again, it’s you, MR.
As far as your silly babble?
Seems everyone who laughs at you, you’ve replied back with “you must have the same issues as Bo”.
I assume you believe that will get posters to back off from insulting you?
Hows that working for ya?
Hey, I read bits and pieces above. Considering your total blowing a gasket when called out for your auntLust, seems you’re the last one to throw stones, right?
June 7th, 2011 at 9:17 pm
As soon as Priest said the series was “OVA” after game 1, I knew the Heat were in trouble.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Bo, your comments are probably disappearing because Jerry doesn’t want to be held liable for some of the things you’re saying. You’ve just given exhibits “B” “C”, and “D” of your pedophilia, after all. A 15 year old Jodie Foster, a 12 year old Brooke Shields, and a 13 year old Dana Plato huh? My goodness. I just hope you don’t work or live around young girls. You are one sick f’n scumbag.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
ArchiveTony, you know you don’t have a family.
And, you’re here all of the time. Under at least 3 different names, Richochet, Hobs Gnarly, and “Archive Tony”. Throughout the day, pretty much. Oh, and calling yourself “archive” is a pretty clear indication that your only commitment is right here. Family… lmao.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
You’re such a front runner Tj OldMan.
You post how James is a God.
How it’s “OVA, I TELL YA, OVA”.
And when Dallas ties the series, you switch?
Hella fake, OldMan, hella fake.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:26 pm
Magic Johnson said it best. When it comes to crunch time, the Heat plays one on one basketball and zero defense. They allowed Chandler (who is a Kleenex himself) to dominate on the offensive board. The Heat reminds me of the old Michigan Fab Five. Great talent but zero structured offense. Miami may still win the series just because the Mavs arent anything special imo.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:27 pm

Oh, RichiTonyArchive, we’re not going to play this game, are we? You post under those 3 names, around the clock. Albeit it’s been a while since you’ve used richochet, but we both know you used that name too. You’re a cross posting jerk off who’s in here around the clock. “archive”. lmao. That name says it all.

June 7th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
If LeBron is going to stand and watch this series is the Mav’s if he wants to play ball the Heat are the better team pointblank. He’s not playing he’s facilitating and letting role players take the game.
I’m a not a Heat fan they just have a better team but if the bets player on the team is going to stand around and watch. To hell with ‘em…………..period
I couldn’t care less what anby of you think………….I aint supporting that crap………….period
June 7th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
The L on my forehead? Wow. 1999 called, richochet, and wants their put downs back. Maybe you should add some pop culture to your “archive”. You’re about 10 years behind the rest of the world. But of course, that’s probably how long it’s been since you’ve socialized with anyone, anyhow.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
LBJ is capable of doing to the Mav’z what Dirk is doing to the Heat and is content to stand around and watch. insane!!
June 7th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
No, Mr, my commitment is to family, job, friends.
you?
Your answer kind of stings, doesn’t it?
June 7th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
Your collections of A’s bobbleheads does not constitute a “family”, either, richo. That requires meeting a woman, and getting married. That’s going to be tough for you to do, considering you’re still doing the L on the forehead thing. Your social life came to a halt before Loser and American Pie came out, I guess.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
we dont have a 4th cuz of the campbell trade so we would have to use a 3rd for pryor. id like to get him with our 5th rndr but someone will get him in the 4th. wouldnt be surprised if everyone passed and he became an UDFA. we are in a better position to take a chance like that now and we will get some compensatory picks if we lose most of our fa’s. we will get a 3rd for nnamdi and maybe a 5th for huff and gallery. if thats the case then go ahead and use that 3rd to get him cuz we would get it back anyway.
June 7th, 2011 at 9:34 pm

You’re in here all day, under 3 different screen names. What boss tolerates that? Liar. I don’t know how you get by or where you live, but you do NOT work.

You’re really into this stuff, that’s all. I wasn’t trying to insult you. And, I like Al Davis as an owner. I just think he needs to step down as a GM. Since you’re a serious statistician, you do understand won/loss records, don’t you?

That’s what you get for being an old loner and trying to sound cool. Now please, stop this. Because slapping you around is getting boring. And please stop saying you have a family. It’s sad.

mr u act as if im an al davis apologist. not really a fans of his at all but i accept that hes the owner. u do understand that we finished 8-8 last year right? do actually believe we are getting better or do u think last year was a fluke?
June 7th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
a fan of his
June 7th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
I never said you were an Al Davis apologist. You accused me of being an Al hater. So I had to explain to you why I’m so critical of him.
And, I already told you I accept that he’s the owner, too. I don’t care who the owner is. I just don’t want him involved in football operations. He’s an 80 year old man who lost track of this game years ago, and also shows signs of dementia. There is zero hope for the Raiders as long as he’s in charge of football operations.
We finished 8-8 last year. That’s still not a winning record. If Jano makes that chip shot against Arizona, we’re in the playoffs. So, you see, even in years where we’re close, the ghost of Al haunts us, doesn’t it? A fan in the stands makes that field goal. Oh, and Al took Jano in the FIRST ROUND!
I don’t think last year was a fluke because I think most of our success was due to Cable’s coaching. We were playing with a toughness, and playing hard late into the games, at least the ones we won. That’s something that’s been missing since Gruden left. Cable’s no genius but he did have that tough guy personality and it rubbed off on the players. Of course, he’s gone now, so we’re basically starting from scratch.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:20 pm
LOL..you are so freaking stupid.
Read above, LOSER, stated already hadn’t seen Hobs but rarely.
Haven’t seen Richcheet in a long time.
And I know when I’m here.
I, like many, glance through, passing by names, see if theirs any new info, or exchanges.
In other words, your idiot comment about me, and Hobs, and Richocheet posting each and every day, all day long, makes you look even dumber than I thought.
Didn’t think that was possible, LOSER.
Did you?
Now,let’s not avoid the question.
What’s your shift again?
June 7th, 2011 at 10:24 pm
Ok, ok, you are flustered, and don’t want to discuss you being jobless. Understand that.
How about, when was the last time you had a date?
I’ve grown bored, which is understandable, considering it’s only MR here, after OldMan left, humbly so, so I’ll check back sometime in the near future to hear about your active lovelife.
Oh, I know. Maybe Hobs will be by, and you can tell him he’s me, or Richocheet or whateva works for ya,
oh yeah

its worth the risk to me if u believe he has what it takes. he wont play for several years and this gives jc time to prove his worth. still not completely sold on jc but he will get his chance. i do not like the other qbs on this team at all.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:53 pm
actually i dont call that al hating except when u say we wont win with him as gm. they said this before we hired gruden and the team was good. bruce allen wasnt a talent evaluator. he managed the cap but u would be foolish to think al didnt pick and trade for players. u have every right to want him to prove himself as a gm again after embarrassing the team for years. just dont agree about not being able to win with him as gm. he picked all of the good players u like, didnt he?
June 7th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
Armond, that was 13 years ago when Al hired Gruden. There were no blogs then, the internet was in its infancy, so there couldn’t have been too many people saying that Al couldn’t win anymore. Just a few journalists. Al wasn’t nearly as bad as he is now. He wasn’t showing the kinds of dementia then that he shows today. He was just a shrewd p rick then. All he needed was a real head coach. He got one, the team won. Totally different scenario today. Al has lost it. He’s showing signs of dementia. Every appearance in front of cameras now, he embarrasses himself somehow.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
Armond I agree on Pryor as far as reaching a bit because he doesn’t need to play right away we can have him sit and learn. It’s a great opportunity for us to get a guy who has tremendous upside he just needs coaching. If you have the time to develope this kid he can a terror in 3-4 years. If not sooner..
June 7th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
On the baseball tip Armond it looks more bleek than it is IF and I say IF they have what they say they have in the minors. It’s tough to watch at the moment for obvious reasons but the A’s have a bright future and that future could as soon as next year.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
priest, the A’s arent what u think. fans want to see what they have in the minors now so we can look forward to next year. the problem is beane wont get with it soon enuff. he did bring up weeks and sizemore tho. the A’s problems go way beyond the field. they are losers. they make excuses for failing and blame oakland for everything. they have become stale and there is no need to sugar coat it. fugg being positive. they have been just as bad as the raiders were and maybe even worse. they dont try period!!! stadium issues, a poor manager, fugged up ownership and a overrated gm who never won is what they have. they have made the fan base non existent and wont be accountable for it. u gotta get with it man. this has been goin on since the schott ownership took over in 95. wolfe/fischer have made it worse. fischer is the 4th richest owner in all of baseball but theyre small market. child please!!!!

mr, when we win more games this year what will u say then? i could care less if al gets credit or not but i know he picks the players good and bad. if hue does a good job then it wont matter cuz that means we are winning.
priest, Pryor is clearly raw but he is worth a shot for a 3rd pick or later. those compensatory picks will come in handy. i dont think we will draft him and wont be surprised if no one picks him. dont believe we want burress either. i dont think they want any player that has some kind of slip up. im sayin pryor is bad but he aint innocent and i dont think we are looking his way. hope im wrong.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
lefty, i know thats all they care about. it goes beyond the field with these guys. i cant stand them which is why i wont go back while they own the team. al davis is azz but he wants to win. the a’s dont care about winning. thats why they have 2 end this lockout so we have some football to watch cuz we know the a’s aint doin sh!t.

June 8th, 2011 at 5:25 am
A lot talk about T. Pryor last night. But he’s not really being talked about in the scouting community as a potential QB. They’d like to try him at receiver if anything, and take advantage of his athletisism. The learning curve is steep to succeed at QB and whoever drafts him for that role has a ton of work to get him ready.
I want nothing to do with T. Pryor on the Raiders.
June 8th, 2011 at 5:32 am
I can’t beleive the letdown by the Heat last night. Lebron came up really small. Dirk came up big. But please spare me the “he has a fever of 102!” every other segment.
This is all just a bunch of drama that David Stern wants. I guess the Heat just want to celebrate the ring back in Miami. Godzilla and King Kong.
Heat in 6.
June 8th, 2011 at 5:50 am
Mavs in 6.
June 8th, 2011 at 6:03 am
Good Morning Nation!
Think about it Guest…scoring wise, nobody could shoot the ball the whole game except for Dwyane Wade and Bosh. Wade was blocking shots, stealing the ball, etc, etc…It looked like he was the only one that wants a ring on that whole court. But anyways…with that being said, I knew Mavs weren’t going to let the Heat sweep them at home, and heck…they may even take it to 7!
June 8th, 2011 at 6:30 am
not sure if anyone caught this, but al davis supposedly was interested in alex smith. meaning he wants another vet.
i like these talks happening between players and owners. i expect a settlement in next couple weeks before the ruling.
down with the heat…go lakers…i mean mavs.
June 8th, 2011 at 6:30 am
Good Morning Hwnrdr,
You make a good point, Lebron wasn’t himself last night. I hated that little flop he did in the 2nd qtr. That was wrong. It may be karma that his team ended up losing. He needs to stop playing these acting games.
June 8th, 2011 at 6:43 am
You know it was weird when entering the 4th, LeBron only had 4 points off of a 1-7 shooting from the field. Even more weird was that Dirk only had what 8? And he mised a FT…and no one scored in 2 minutes…still wondering if a comet was passing by or something…
June 8th, 2011 at 6:54 am
LeBron does this every year come playoff time. NOT a closer. NOT an alpha. Wade is tho…
June 8th, 2011 at 6:55 am

What’s up LMN…can’t say that I do…
Bo…yes, If the Heat wins it all…it will be Wade!
June 8th, 2011 at 7:04 am
Strange, but I would probably take even greater satisfaction from the Mavs beating LeBaron than the Lakers. It would point to an even greater weakness in him – more proof that what we saw in last year’s playoffs is truly what he is, regardless of teammates. A wuss in the biggest moments.
June 8th, 2011 at 7:04 am
Still acking about the 10 worst…
Got me thinkin about a few other moments that stung
No one mentioned the ‘94 MNF opener against Steve & Jerry’s niners. Everyone and the mother was pickin us to go to the SB that yr..the game was built up as a SB preview and what happened was one of the worst atrocities i witnesed as a fan! that game stung even more than the 96 MNF opener
June 8th, 2011 at 7:08 am
Lebron is going to make the naysayers eat their words. He’s going to take over the next 2 games, and Wade will be the Beta. Just watch.
June 8th, 2011 at 7:10 am
Sure. Just like he always does?
June 8th, 2011 at 7:12 am
It is clear LeBaron doubts himself. Never more obvious than last night.
June 8th, 2011 at 7:16 am
What got me was his pre-game speech to his teammates…gotta give him that though…he has been humble!
When Carlisle swith up his team to zone D…that is what did it last night!

Danish TV just sold yet another tv-series to the US market, this one wont even be a remake..

Lebron doesn’t know how to play without the ball, a byproduct of the AAU, high school to the NBA culture.
Wade does all kinds of amazing stuff without the ball in his hands. Loose balls, offensive rebounds, running off curls, etc.
With Lebron it is iso’s and alley-oops, and that’s really it.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:00 am
Hwnrdr..
yessuh! thats the one..

*****************************
His flopping is beyond ridiculous, and he seems to complain everytime he goes to the rack and misses and doesn’t get a whistle.
I agree with Van Gundy last night though, on the whole, this league-wide flopping is just getting worse and worse, and taking away from the game.
There should be no more “no-calls” or “play-ons” with flops anymore. If you flop, and don’t get the call, than a bad flop should be a foul as well.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:04 am
Lebron doesn’t know how to play without the ball, a byproduct of the AAU, high school to the NBA culture.
—————-
Yup. You can clearly see the lack of ball movement in crunch time. Reminds me of the old Michigan Fab Five group. Great one on ones and street ballers but a structured team like Duke and Indiana would beat them.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:08 am

I have my calendar in front of me here at work.
What was the date in August again? I want to say the 23rd but let’s double-check.

What’s up AIG? But hey, that Fab Five group…was fun to watch!
June 8th, 2011 at 8:13 am
How can Lebron put on that front in front of the camera’s last night with his pre-game speech, than go out and shoot twice in the last quarter of the game and just disappear like he did?
All this talk of the “back against the wall mentality”. Is that what he does with his back against the wall? Have more turnovers than made baskets? Let Marion and Terry get the best of him in 1-1 matchups offensively and defensively?
Than LMAO at Priest blaming Lebron’s issues on Spoelstra last night.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:25 am
Blaming LeBron’s issues on Spoelstra? Huh????
June 8th, 2011 at 8:27 am

Priest always blame it on someone else other than his player. Dude never admits his own guy didnt deliver.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:30 am
Miami still takes it though. Dallas just dont have enough talent. Kobe must be miffed sitting on the sideline watching this horror show.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:33 am
screw lebron let’s go mavs d wade dosent have the ref in his pocket on this one
June 8th, 2011 at 8:39 am
G’Morning fellas.
This has been a very entertaining series so far. I don’t know if it’s great basketball, or not. I grew up on Lakers vs Celtics. Bird vs Magic. That was B-Ball at it’s finest, IMO.
But this is two evenly matched teams who play very competitive games, and that makes for great theatre…drama.
There are defenitely some fantastic players in these finals, though. Dirk is such a deadly accurate shooter, it’s almost a shock when his shot doesn’t fall…like last night.
Dywane Wade is just a phenomenal all around player. He’s a thrill to watch, on both ends of the court. Blocking shots out of nowhere. Constant hustle.
I’m not rooting for the Heat, but you have to admire the way that guy plays.
Pretty good finals.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:44 am
I grew up watching Bird vs Magic also…that is what saved the NBA from the brink of death…I still say, Bird was one bad mofo…even though I hated him because he was a Celtic!
June 8th, 2011 at 8:46 am
Well to be fair, he didn’t blame them completely on Spoelstra, but NBA coaches are all puppets, and deserve credit for inbounds plays, and chemistry.
Other than that, coaches have very little to no influence on a game.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:49 am
Bird vs Magic was b-ball at its best as well for me. That’s when I used to love ShowTime in LA. I thought for sure Riley would take over the Heat this season and try to recreate his own showtime in South Beach. There’s always next year.
June 8th, 2011 at 9:03 am
That rivalry was really sport at it’s finest. Two great teams. I loved Showtime.
Magic Johnson, with that mega-watt smile that’d lght up entire arena leading a fast break at 6′9. Then with a no-look pass to Worthy for a thunderous dunk. Behind the back. How the hell did he even know he was there? Like he had eyes in the back of his head.
Coop with those damn socks pulled up to his knees playing stifling D. Byron Scott knocking down threes. And Rambis, with those dorky glasses doing the dirty work and fighting for every loose ball and rebound.
I liked how the series would switch from LA, with it’s glitz and glamour and courtside celebrities to the Hot and Steamy Boston Gardens. With all it’s tradition and banners and parquet floor. Bird, McHale and Parrish. I hated Danny Ainge. He was a pest.
That was a great rivalry, and great sport. It was fun to watch.

June 8th, 2011 at 9:11 am
LOL, LMN…The Fab Five was the nickname of the Michigan Wolverines basketball team in 91, 92, before Chris Webber went to the NBA…

How you doing? All is hot and humid here in Memphis. Can’t wait to hit the road back to the West side of the country in August. I loved Fab Five. C Webb was my favorite in that group and was devastated when the W’s traded him. They were awesome street ballers but terrible team ballers. Could never get past Duke and Christian Laetner (yuck).
June 8th, 2011 at 9:19 am

You had the best description right there, Buckeye. That LA team was about as complete as you’d ever want. They had a big ass PG that can see over everyone, can shoot both the 3’s with Scott, score mid range jumpers with Worthy, post you up down low with Kareem, shut down a guard with Cooper and get dirty with Rambis.
June 8th, 2011 at 9:26 am
I know…Christian Laetner…where is he now? Is JuWon Howard the onely one left from the five?
June 8th, 2011 at 9:29 am
AIG
You either can’t read or have comprehension issues, I said LeBron James is standing around watching the finals pass right by him. Then added that Speolstra has no business coahcing this team. Any coach that would stand to watch LBJ do what he’s doing IMO is an idiot. I would bench him if I had to, to get his attention. He has to be the focal point of their offense and DWade the finisher. But it has to begin with LBJ FORCING the action if you know anything about bbl. DWade has that ability as well but James has Magic Johnson type skills if he drives and draws they have to respect him that opens things up for Wade to finish. If James is going to stand around and not put pressure on the defense he’s USELESS……………..period
June 8th, 2011 at 9:31 am
Glad to see everyone is talking basketball….NOT!
How about that womens Canadian curling team!
June 8th, 2011 at 9:32 am
Yup Juwon is the only dude left. Christian Laetner…I read up an article on him at the gym the other day. He teamed up with another Duke bball player (Davis?) for a real estate investment firm with money from some current nba players. It went kaput and he is being sued right now. I think he is trying to get into coaching.
June 8th, 2011 at 9:32 am
Phil Jackson would strangle LBJ before he would allow him to do what he’s doing.

I dont know priest. Apparently I wasn’t the only that thought you blamed the coach after reading your post. Let’s try this. Are you blaming LBJ or Spro or both? Perhaps you can clarify it. We can settle it right here.

Six 10 AM games, and games against the Jets, Pats, and NFC Central, and then you figure the rest of the AFC West is burning to get revenge for the sweep the Raiders put on them. It’s shaping up to be a tough year.
June 8th, 2011 at 9:56 am
Carlisle > Spro. It has been obvious. In the 2 games they lost, Spro should have forced LBJ or Wade to drive and kick it back out. Carlisle is so underrated and seems to get his teams to overachieve.
@Guest, I think this year is much tougher than many Raider fans realize.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:03 am
Guest,
It does figure to be a very challenging year. KC with their first place schedule have a real uphill struggle. They play AFC east, NFC north plus Pittsburgh and Indy. Good luck with that. lol.
That’s why I think the West is a race between Oakland and SD to get to 9-7. Maybe even 8-8. SD won it a couple of years ago at 8-8. Could happen again.
It very well could come down to the season finale in Oakland. You have to give SD an edge, due to Rivers. The guy is a jerk, but he’s a helluva QB.
The Raiders have a legit shot at this division, IMO. The Sporting News thinks they do as well. They predicted the Raiders to go 9-7. Losing out to SD at 10-6.
Hopefully, they get a deal done soon, so we can all see how it plays out.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:05 am
Guys….come on….its a 7 game series on command from Stern. It’s a movie I just want good entertainment at this point. The calls have been awful every game every damn quarter on both teams. And to top it off last night LBJ is on the take lol. So not aggressive at any stretch of game verse inferior defenders. Shieeeeeeeeet, I aint blind.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:06 am
Bauce,
I dont think many people would disagree that Mia will eventually take it.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:07 am
Carlisle is just a vet coach who who understands strategy and how to counter what you do. Sproelstra is just hoping the talent he has does the job. All he had to was put LBJ in the box and let him pass out of doubles or go strong to hole. Put him on the elbow and post DWade they have to double both and both are great passers just keep a shooter in the corner and the top of the key. They can swing the ball back or weakside and creat havoc. Bosh is not a post player but he has a strong elbow jumper. It’s simple basketball. Or if you want set screens for LBJ and DWade and let ‘em work.
Stop letting them dribble around doubles be creative. It’s ridiculous!
June 8th, 2011 at 10:08 am
Guest,
Also, I think Cable might have helped solve the Raiders problems with those 10:00 am starting times.
He scheduled practices to start earlier during the week, to get their bodies acclimated to getting up earlier.
It seemed to help a lil, last year. The Raiders looked much better vs Jax and KC on the road.
I hope Hue continues those tactics. I don’t see why he wouldn’t.

I dont know about an edge for SD. Raiders have been better than them for the last 3 seasons IMO. Rivers is obviously way better than JC but we run the ball much better and really have a better defense than them. Physically I think we are too much for SD. And mind you, we havent got to FA yet.

Too much is unsettled to predict AFC West champs or even contention. What do we know about our current line. Except that on paper, they are a good unit. But we all know it takes time to gel. I’d expect that a few pieces that we are talking about on our OL will not be regulars in the rotation.
How many of you feel confident that the line of Veldheer-Loper-Wiz2/Satele-BCamp-Barks is the answer?

One thing being lost on this Lebron debate is the great defense that is being played on him.
Kidd has been able to Lebron in front of him for the most part (which Kidd has failed to be able to do with Wade) and D-Steve and the Matrix are long and active enough to frustrate him at times. Lebron even has some unforced turnovers (which an elite should never have) which points to them obviously being in his head a little.
Carlisle has also switched up how they double-team him. Sometimes they crash hard immediately, sometimes they wait for a few dribbles, and sometimes they don’t at all.
Lebron is thinking and not playing, a true sign of someone without the killer instinct.
Happens to Peyton damn near every year in the playoffs.

While LeBron may be struggling confidence wise get him a few screens, a pick and roll. Something to get him going once you do that you keep him in volved by posting him up. Use DWade as a high post do something creative to creat offense for him. Don’t just watch him stew in his own juices it’s crazy.

I hate to sound too pessimistic, but that brutal schedule and 10 AM starts coupled with our motley crew of an O-line, and coaching changes in the off season with a shortened preseason has me thinking the Raiders finish 5-11 or some ratio of that in a shortened season.
Unless…..unless we are busy when FA starts. Otherwise it looks like a tough year. We aren’t sneaking up on anyone.

The King (LMAO) will be a glue-guy (as Bucher called him yesterday) who plays D and facilitates, and shoots a low % on his 12-15 shots a game.
Bosh and Wade will do the majority of the shooting, and it will be Dwayne’s rock in the 4th quarter.
This will not change.
If Lebron tries to go out and score 35 points, it might take him 24 shots and they Heat will definately lose.
He is better in his new role than he is as the superstar, which is why Dwayne Wade is a much better player than him. Dwayne plays the superstar 24/7/365
Lebron is more of your superstar 17/6/250

No bet,because I totally agree.The guy is a joke.Notice how things have been going south since Feuntes blasted Bobo.Then Street said he was the worst coach he has been associated with since he started playing team sports at around 12 years old.He has lost the team-they have no respect for the guy.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:33 am
Man I love the A’s but we suck until Beane and Geren are both gone. But sadly the owners want to lose so they can go to San Jo
June 8th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Bauce if they keep stinking like this even San Hoe wont want ‘em.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:37 am
Beane has painted himself into a corner and there is only one way out. Fire Geren…………..period
June 8th, 2011 at 10:37 am
I don’t think winning is a priority with the A’s right now either-profit is.The reason Beane keeps Bobo ,IMO,is Billy is actually managing the team.He gets rid of anyone who can actually do the job or won’t follow his orders to the letter.If he’d let his managers manage the A’s would be much better off.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:38 am
Priest,
Lebron is great in the pick and roll passing but not scoring. He is not a pull-up jump shooter.
Same thing with him running off screens, not his comfort zone.
Either on the block, the break or in an ISO. That’s where he is effective.
You want to get Lebron going more, you got to push the ball off defensive rebounds and get him in the open floor.
They tried to run pick and roll at the end of game two, and Lebron just dribbled around the perimeter and never attacked the rim.

This is pure garbage. We seen the guy already carry the garbage Cavs to Finals with no help. We saw him do over the MVP,Coach of year and best so called team in league in the East Finals this year. Yes its the finals but whatever you wanna say the series is 2 wins away from a ring for the guy. I promise you if it goes to 7 like I believe it will the guy turns the show the fk out. You trippin
June 8th, 2011 at 10:42 am
In Moneyball, Beane basically said he doesn’t want his HC to do much but stand at the top of the dugout steps and look confident.
When you have iffy offensive talent (like the World Series Champion SF Giants) you got to move guys around, be aggressive with the hit and run, and move guys around in the lineup.
Not sure what the A’s deal is, but looks like another sterling Aug-Sept to get them to .500 and give everyone hope for the next year.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:43 am
No Priest,they will play the injury bug thing again.Fosse was even sniveling last night about how the line-up isn’t what everyone thought they’d be seeing due to injuries.That is how they try and save face-’We’d be good if it wasn’t for all the injuries’.Like last year,when they said how they were in the race late until injuries made it impossible to keep up,overlooking the fact Bobo costs the team games with his ineptitude managing.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:45 am
I saw that JFB he is passive as hell but that is why I said earlier I’d bench to get his attention before I’d allow him to do what he’s doing. He dominated the two series before the finals and Dwade looked almost like he does now. All he needs is a couple of dunks a layup or a 3 to go down it changes EVERYTHING.
June 8th, 2011 at 10:46 am
If the Heat win, it will be like the year Peyton won the SB.
He played like crap in those first few playoff games and barely won. Than had a good 2nd half in the Pats game that was his LBJ-Bulls moment, than played just OK in the Super Bowl.
Lebron took the no-talent Cavs to the finals and got swept.
Wade took the no-talent Heat to the finals, and won.
That’s the difference

Bauce, what did Shaq’s mouth accomplish in MIA? I’d say it hurt more than anything. He criticized his coach and got Riley to dump Stan.
06 through 08 he went straight into the tank, and then when traded to the Suns said “I’m actually on a team again.”

Kidd at 38 plays much better defense than I would have given him credit for.
Haven’t seen Lebron take the ball to the hoop off his dribble much at all.
Always thought LJ’s strength was his ability to go to the hole, get hacked, have the defender bounce off him and still score.
Lebron hit some huge 3’s vs. the Celts and Thunder, but his drive to the hoop off his dribble has been non-existent throughout the playoffs.
Final games have been entertaining and close, but definitely not great basketball. Neither team seemed prepared to close the deal last night.
Heat are ripe for the picking but Mavs ain’t team to get it done.
Dirk’s been good, but Wade is the best player on the court.
LeBron gets his ring.

To be Sappish means to suck all the ay through and the team sucks. Shaq didnt do that. Your argument is flawed because Miami benefited all the way through. They missed the playoffs one damn year when Shaq left and immediately got back. 3 years later they are on the door step of a title. Please tell me what is hurting

The only thing JC has on Bruce is arm strength and not getting hurt, but for some reason I believe MR’s position was opposite last season about Bruce.
June 8th, 2011 at 11:41 am
If Shaq was that good he woulda won more than one with a stud like Wade. But no he got hurt, yakked and got swept by the Bulls. They were not good all the way through. Not even close.

What do you think Chikwa will say when they ask him about TP? His locker room presence was horible and we just blew 30+ mill on a trouble child like Russel and you think Al is going to deal with another head ache like Pryor on the cheap?

****Wake up Al ain’t buying “what if free agents” no more******
By the way Raider Nation for the record we will not go after the following players:
-Vince Young
-TO
-Chad Johnson
-Burress
-Ricky Williams
Sorry fellas, I think change is hard but the Raiders and Al Davis’s mind set has changed. We no longer gamble on free agents with a lot of baggage any longer. All the free Agents brought in after the Walker and Hall deal are team first, community second type of players. Al has stayed away from big time talent with troubled back grounds and a pattern of locker room conflict and PR control.
I know some of you will talk about the need is greater than the downside and we can get em for cheap. Yada… Yada…Yada!!! But Al ain’t buying. They are building the Raiders now through the draft and with veterans with a chip on their shoulder who will also be role models for the rookies brought in. Anyone outside of that mold they are not buying!
The days of building a one hit wonder through free agency with big named price tagged players with a little fuel left in their tank is over.
If Al buys a rookie off the free agent used car lot it is because he got a great deal!

But that’s not possible, I think he can spend a few years on a NFL bench and be a viable NFL starter. Look around the league it aint pretty in a lot of NFL cities.
You could do a lot worse when teams are drafting Jake Locker and Christian Ponder high in the 1st rnd getting Pryor in the 5th is a good get. JMHO!

If you compare Pryor to Newton who went 1st overall the difference is not tremendous. IMO the only diffference is Cam won a National title. As QB’s they are comparable. Both raw Pryor even more so. Pryor’s feel for the passing game is sketchy and he’s very inconsistent. But what do you wnat for a 5th, I remember watching Brady at Mich. he was much more of a pure passer but as an overall talent Pryor is much better. Brady made himself a great QB if Pryor applies himself similarly he could easily be a starter in the NFL. It’s all about work ethic!!
June 8th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Brien, I think Gradkowski was the best QB we had. I don’t think Campbell is very good, at all. I don’t care what the stats say, I base this on watching them play. With Campbell, you have to sort of root for him, like you’re watching your kid. That’s the death rattle of any performer, sports, comedy, otherwise. When you’re sitting there going, “come on, you can do it…”. Gradkowski has that “it” factor when he’s on the field. He’s just a spark plug. His problem is his height, and that he’s injury prone. But naturally, he’s a better QB than Campbell, in my opinion. Is that ok? Can I say that?

Brady definitely was not a great QB coming out of Mich. he was barely draftable. The big difference was his desire to be great. A team would hav eto see that same desire in Pryor and it’s there in spades that kids is ultra competitive. That’s how he won he played street ball and won 31-15 games in the Big10 and was MVP in two BCS games. You don’t do that if the desire isn’t there.

LMAO…hope Humphries can get his ring back.
“Patriots safety Bret Lockett told NESN.com the story about his relationship with Kim Kardashian is true.
In Touch magazine reported Lockett and Kardashian had a five-month affair behind the back of Kardashian’s fiancé Kris Humphries, who plays for the New Jersey Nets. Kardashian told the magazine she would take legal action if it ran the story.
Lockett said he spoke to the tabloid because they told him they were going to run the story with or without his consent. Therefore, he wanted to make sure the tabloid knew the truth.
“I’m saying the story in the tabloid is true, and that my relationship with Kim is true as well,” Lockett told NESN.com. “The story was going to be run whether I liked it or not. I don’t know how [In Touch caught wind of the story]. I don’t know any of that. But all I know is they contacted me saying they knew about my relationship with Kim. I told them, I said, ‘I don’t know how you got hold of it. I don’t know anything about what you’re talking about.’ They said, ‘We’re going to run it whether you like it or not. Do you have anything to say because Kim and their publicists are going to be able to make a statement?’ Either I could have said nothing, and just let it be and then have me look crazy, or I could have told them the full truth and let it be written as told. So that’s exactly what I did.”
Lockett didn’t want to share any details of his relationship with Kardashian because they’re already spread across the Internet.
“Pretty much, me and Kim had a relationship, and that’s really as far as I want to get into it,” Lockett said. “Everything else, you can pretty much read for yourself. It’s all over the Internet and everywhere else. That’s pretty much it.”
Lockett wanted to defend his reasoning for speaking to In Touch.”

Hope Jc has a great year. How many years was Gannon in the league before he came to Oakland? Priest know one is trading now. Bruce is a better QB and would have remained the starter last season if not for being injured IMO.

Raiderfankirk He wsn’t the starter to begin with. And after Miami I doubt he would’ve remained. Bruce just isn’t want many want to make him out to be. If he is someone will pay him what we wont and start him so we’ll see what happens. OK!

Great story, Dakota. In related news, Krappy was knocked unconscious at today’s Broker’s Tour from a record setting dump he unknowingly took in his newly pressed Dockers.
The sheer weight of the dump pulled him through the floorboards and he smacked his old dome on the water heater in the basement.

I remember watching Tom Brady while at Michigan. On that same team was CWood. Especially his Heismann year was fun to watch. I wasn’t to thrilled about Brady then, but respected him because he was a Wolverine (yes, I am a Michigan Fan…loved the Fab Five until darn CWebb called that time out…stil smh at that one)…now, I despise of Brady because of that stupid Tuck this rule! But Brady went to the right system where his work ethic has paid off. Not too sure if any qb with a strong work ethic and a desire to go from mediocre to great can gain success here…until proven wrong!

A quarterback who has the desire to be great has to go to a system tailored to his ability and strengths and weaknesses and a system firmly in place where the coaches can make that system work. Montana and Brady are two fine examples of quarterbacks who went to a system that had a coach in place to tailor that system to the strengths and weaknesses of said player. Gruden to some degree had it going with Richie G but we all know where that one went. A great quarterback is a product of the organizations ability to trust its coaching staff. Can we have that here in Oakland? I think we will now that Mr.Davis has aquired a bona fide coach who has the desire to win. Good quarterbacks will win you a bowl, but great coaches and great quarterbacks will get it done for a long time. Just ask pittsburgh. But its a new day in Oakland because the Raiders are back.

Kirk, Gannon was in his 11th year when he came to Oakland, having been a starter only 5 years.
However, he had accumulated a winning record in those 5 years, and was known for his intelligence.
JC has a horrible 10-games under .500 losing record during his career, and is known for holding the ball too long, taking sacks, and staring down receivers. This despite playing with Pro-Bowl linemen, TEs, WRs, and RBs.
I don’t see much hope for the 7th year veteran. His mediocre year last year came with the #2 rushing attack and one of the weakest schedules Oakland has seen in ages.

I have the over on how many times Hue Jackson says “Obviously” tonight on NFLN.
The line is 25
June 8th, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Actually Trestman had it going with Gannon. MUCH better offense after Gruden left. Jon was an obstacle to dominance.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
Well put Alex. Wish we had an alternative to JaSoup.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Outro…
June 8th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Raiders were 12-4 in 2000, with Gruden, without Trestman.
Gannon threw for 3,400+ yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs that year.
Trestman just vamped that passing game up one notch, as he seemed to do throughout his coaching career. Odd he isn’t back in the NFL after a very impressive 12 year career.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
I agree with you Alex7. A lot of ingrediants go into a qb being good to great, and a coaching staff that is qualified is one of them, so is smarts.
I don’t see jason as one of those guys who is surrounded by the talent to make him great, or he himself as a proven vet (the SF and Pitt games really lowered his stock) but what I do see in him is if he can manage a good to great ground game that will allow him to open up his passing game, then maybe some good things will happen. But no great ground game and we are doomed. And of course our defense has to be not good, but great.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:39 pm

I never said Pryor will be better than Brady, I was simple stating how both were viewed by GM’s coming out of school. And no GM looking at both players would chose Brady at that same point in their careers. No one would’ve put $5 on Brady ever being great when he was drafted. That is my point!! No one knows how good Pryor’s going to be and I certainly am not saying how good he will ultimately be.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Surprised at how good Trestman was.
He was QB coach or OC during career-years by average-talent QBs Scott Mitchell, Bernie Kosar, Jake Plummer, and Rich Gannon. His teams often made the playoffs, and twice (with 49ers and Raiders) his offense ranked #1 in the NFL.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
yeah Fan#1, it’s interesting that Davis knows he doesn’t have a dominant D, knows he needs a gun-slinger to put up points, and yet year after year seems to view the QB position as something you can just throw a patch at and hope it works.
For 40 years now, Al has valued the CB position above the QB one. He needed to switch that view about 15 years ago as the rules changed to advantage the offense.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
I liked the 2000 Raiders more than the 2001 Raider, or even the 2002 Raiders. I don’t care that they went to the Super Bowl. With that result? You can give that trip to the SB back to the Indians. Only a moronic Raider fan would take pride in that. That 2000 team was solid. I think Trestman messed things up. Liked Gruden’s “pound the rock” approach, with the “committee”. All those RBs. Loved that offense.

_______________________________________________
It has always boggled my mind to no end how Mr.Davis hasn’t valued coaches since Flores either. His impatience has gotten the better of him at times, and that is what I think developed the demise of Gruden. Had Gruden and Davis had a better working relation, rumors (Gruden seeking employment elsewher, the fueding, etc.) never would have led to Grudens departure. But I think Al will value coach jackson a little more than those of late so we will see where this one goes. Times have changed and Al needs to encompass all of that change.
June 8th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
I don’t see much of a similarity between GMs views of Brady and Pryor.
With Brady, he only started two seasons, having Drew Henson cutting into his time both of those years (and Drew was the brighter prospect in the eyes of scouts). When scouts went to Michigan, it was to look at Charles Woodson, David Terrell, Anthony Thomas, and a bunch of other 1st and 2nd round picks. Brady was a 2-year role player who physically and stat-wise was nowhere in the realm of his teammates.
Pryor, on the other hand, is a known quantity. Scouts KNOW Pryor has bad footwork, below-average accuracy, was protected in a ball-control safe offense, and is immature. Thus, most GMs wouldn’t touch him until at least the 5th or 6th round of the supplemental draft as a project QB (which almost never work out).
It’s very rare that a QB with many bad attributes succeeds. Obviously you have a greater success rates with solid QBs that you just haven’t seen enough of to wow you yet.
June 8th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
I don’t think he valued Madden, either. John Madden is the most humbled man in the universe. Al is so lucky he didn’t go on to coach elsewhere. Because he probably would have had a career that that trumps his career as a Raider. He’s one of the sharpest football minds in or out of the game. I lost count of how many times he called plays before they happened as a commentator. He did it a few times per each game I’ve seen him do. Just an amazing football mind. He and Ron Wolf built a dynasty in Oakland.
June 8th, 2011 at 3:07 pm
just peaked in here to tell you all that al davis blew it when he let gruden go. he blew it and got nothing of note in return. the dude just blew it. shoulda saw he had a good coach and kept him, but he didn’t.
June 8th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
I think everything that’s happened after Gruden left vindicates Gruden far more than it does Al. Basically, every single negative response to how Al dealt with Gruden was on point. Every gloomish prediction turned out to be true. Tell me it didn’t.

Since we don’t have a 4th to offer in the sup draft (thanks Armond), it is either a 3rd or 5th for Pryor.
Can’t do a 3rd rounder, but I am all for it for a 5th. Hell, didn’t we draft a guy in the 5th round once and than waive him before camp? What’s the harm?
If he can’t play QB, I’m sure he can play some ST’s and get on the field somewhere, which not every 5th rounder does.
Besides, we might be able to pay him in tattoo’s and car rentals.

Don’t want Pryor anyway, but a 3rd would be out of the question.
Don’t forget, Raids already traded away their 2nd. Drafting Pryor in the 3rd would mean Raids would select in the 1st – and unless they are awarded compensatory picks – not again til the 5th.
No way.
June 8th, 2011 at 4:39 pm
—”Appearing on NFL Network Wednesday, coach Hue Jackson vowed to get Jacoby Ford more involved in the Raiders’ offense. “You better believe I do,” said Jackson. “This guy scores touchdowns … Jacoby is gonna become a household name.” One of the tricks to getting Ford more snaps and catches will be to start him over Darrius Heyward-Bey, owner Al Davis’ beloved former No. 7 overall pick. Just the 108th pick last year, Ford showed enough down the stretch of his rookie season that Jackson should be able to convince Davis that Ford is worth using as a full-time player. He’ll offer breakout upside in 2011 fantasy leagues.”—

Warrios need to trade Ellis and get as much as they can for him and try and get a pick. They need to get a solid big man or a guy like Rudy Gay for Ellis.
They then need to look at drafting SG/SF Jordan Hamilton, SG/PG Iman Shumpert, PF/SF Tristan Thompson, C Donatas Motiejunas, or BG/SF Klay Thompson.
Shumpert is a good defender and has versatility on the offensive end. I like PG Charles Jenkins, but W’s don’t need a point.

Sportsnet.ca NFL lockout: NFL, players pushing for deal in coming weeks
3 hours ago
Neither side has commented on the specifics of the talks publicly, but people on both sides of the dispute said this week that a concerted attempt is underway to reach a compromise in coming weeks that would ensure an uninterrupted training camp, preseason and regular season,
The tone of the negotiations is greatly improved, both sides said, and while the talks still could break down, there is guarded optimism that a deal can be reached in late June or early July, according to people who are not involved in the talks but have knowledge of them. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the deliberations.
Negotiators for the two sides met this week in New York after several days of talks last week in Chicago. On Wednesday, the NFL and NFL Players Association issued a joint statement that “they continue to be engaged in confidential discussions” with their mediator, Chief Magistrate Judge Arthur J. Boylan of the federal court in Minnesota, and that “discussions are expected to continue.”
Goodell, according to an NFL spokesman, repeated that the league intends to play a full 2011 season. “I believe both sides want to find solutions,” he said. “I’m hopeful we’re going to be successful.”
“At the end of the day, there is too much at stake to miss a season,” said sports law expert Gary Roberts, dean of the law school at Indiana University. “There is enough revenue. . . . The parties can work out a deal that can make both sides, while not gleeful, at least satisfied. That’s why I’m confident a deal will get done at some point.”
One person who did not participate in the talks but has knowledge of them said the willingness to complete a deal has increased and, because of that, the negotiating differences between the two sides can be overcome. Others said the timing is right and the proper people now are involved in the discussions.
June 8th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
U2 had the pleasure of packing fans onto the playing surface thus the increase from the normal capacity of about 63,000. The Raiders cant pack fans onto to the playing surface because the teams need the field, but bono didnt. he only needed a stage.

Pryor for a 5th/6th is certainly work the risk.
I expect Campbell to do well enough to hold off
the current backups and the free agents I’ve seen posted.
Unless Raiders trade up for Luck, the list of NCAA QBs coming out in the next 2 yrs is not impressive either.
Jackson is a good QB coach & Campbell is a good role model.
Pryor can either become…
at best – 2013 QB
at least – Brad Smith / Cribbs type right away
at worst – cut like Clarett
The only harm is media attention.
June 9th, 2011 at 12:06 am
Pryor worth a 5th round pick in the supplemental draft, as we will be getting at least 3 compensatory picks next season anyway
Asomugha in the 3rd – hopefully we resign him
Gallery and Huff 4th round compensatory picks
Pryor stays in shape, he simply wants to get paid for his QB abilities
he is a 60% passer and he wins regular season and post season, and he’s healthy.
Mr. Campbell, I think will lead the Raiders to the playoffs this season, Pryor could sit and learn for the next couple of years, and takeover, if he’s a bust the CFL can have him.
He might cost us 6 million over 3 years, but not 60.

That’s great for the city and the stadium.
Only problem is if U2 went to play at where the Cowboys play, the Eagles, where the Steelers play, and the Broncos, Redskins, the Cardinals, both NY teams and plenty others, 69,000 would be about 70% of capacity.
Shows how inadequate the stadium is. You got one of the biggest draws in music history, in one of the biggest metropolis in the world, I’m sure the event sold out quickly, yet they couldn’t find a place that could hold 75K, and some people were standing in dirt.
Pitiful.
June 9th, 2011 at 4:43 am
If the Bay Area had a stadium that could hold 80+K, they would have filled it. When U2 played at the new Giants stadium, they drew over 84K.
Such a shame the Bay Area to be confined to such a small venue. Also stinks that while the city of Oakland has all these people in their backyard, ready to spend money, and there is no bar and restaurant scene around the stadium to keep people there.
There were probably all kinds of people from Eureka to San Luis Obispo in Oakland, and as soon as the show was over, 90% of them hurried out of there and probably spent their money at bars in restaurants in Pleasanton.

If the Raiders were to build a new stadium, I guarantee they could go 3-13 and outdraw last years attendance easily.
If you build it, they will come. At least for a few years until the shine wears off a little.
Hardcore fans will go wherever, just like hard-core alcoholics will drink anywhere. But just like going to a bar, you are there to drink, but you won’t just go to any dive bar. You have to appeal to the non-hardcore’s to get that extra boost of revenues, just like any type of business.
You are going to the stadium to watch the game, but you want the other sizzle that comes along with a pro sporting event.
The only sizzle in Oakland is abundant parking and tailgating, easy access from BART, and maybe some fights in the stands.

WR: Santana Moss
LT/RT: Matt Light or Jared Gaither
The raiders want another stadium? Put fans in the seats by winning a title. that’s how you get a stadium

Pretty sad that Cal football, who haven’t won their conference in like 50 years, and the Warriors ,who have won one playoff series in like 25 years, are the East Bay teams with the new stadiums.
I don’t know who to blame, but it is getting harder and harder to compete with these other teams who generate so much more gate revenue.
It is putting us at a competitive disadvantage.
June 9th, 2011 at 7:02 am
JFB give me neither one.
Troy Smith is actually a better passer than Pryor ever was at OSU.
Pryor is a great athlete but he has one big problem on the field he can’t throw the 10-15 yard out on a rope. You have to make that throw in the pros period!
I could see Al converting the guy to a TE or flanker LMAO. 6-5 4.4 40. Watch out!!!!

That’s great for the city and the stadium.
Only problem is if U2 went to play at where the Cowboys play, the Eagles, where the Steelers play, and the Broncos, Redskins, the Cardinals, both NY teams and plenty others, 69,000 would be about 70% of capacity.
Shows how inadequate the stadium is. You got one of the biggest draws in music history, in one of the biggest metropolis in the world, I’m sure the event sold out quickly, yet they couldn’t find a place that could hold 75K, and some people were standing in dirt.
Pitiful.
______________________________________________________
Took you long enough to come up with an answer that’s totally besides the damned point.
69,000 people showed up to that supposedly “schithole” of a coliseum for an act, on a Tuesday nite.
Raiders can’t draw 40,000 on a Sunday afternoon.
June 9th, 2011 at 8:54 am
Raiders can’t draw 40,000 on a Sunday afternoon.
******************************
If there were a new stadium, they would draw 50K+ easy, even with the same record the last few years.
That’s my point.
69K is not that good by typical US draw standards.
Why was it not up to their normal standards? They were playing in that “shathole” of a stadium.
June 9th, 2011 at 8:55 am
*U2 draw standards
June 9th, 2011 at 9:01 am
KK,
Even when the Raiders and A’s were winning earlier this decade, sell-outs and attendance were an issue.
The lack of pizazz at that stadium just doesn’t generate that extra 10-20% boost in fringe consumer revenue that all business’ need. You got to attract clients outside of your base.
Hell, if they built a new stadium, I might be urged more to go to a game. But instead, the wife and I would rather fly to Arizona or Buffalo and watch a game there.
However, we have already flown back to go watch a Giants game, and will be back next year to do so.
Stadium stinks.

The only reason the Miami Heat lost Game 4 of the Finals was (drumroll please) LeBron James!
8 points in 45 minutes?
3/11 (0/3 three pointers) and 4 turnovers. those 2 missed free throws late in the 4th didn’t help either
Dirk was money in the 4th and LBJ was non-existant
Shawn Marion had 16 pts in 25 minutes. that’s double the scoring output in 20 less minutes
I don’t blame D Wade for the missed FT or the bobbled inbounds pass. the game never should have been that close
a win in Dallas tonight with the series tied at 2-2 won’t come easy. Still, I think James steps up and the Heat win by 12. He has to. the Heat won’t get enough from guys like Haslem, Bibby, Miller & Chalmers to make up for his shortcomings
June 9th, 2011 at 9:38 am
Yaaaaaaaayyy….yaaaaaaaaayyyy…
BOB GEREN FIRED BY A’s! About a year too late!
Beane needed to say adios to his buddy….or he was going to be hot seat himself. Time to move on from that turd of a manager.

Jerry Porter’s career likely wrapped up Wednesday in Montreal when he tore his Achilles tendon.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports Porter suffered the injury during training camp with the Alouettes, the same team that cut Ahman Green earlier this week.

A STUD??? WHAT?? what did he do that makes him a STUD? Bibby is done……………period
June 9th, 2011 at 9:48 am
It’s as simple as which team’s “role players” play well.
JJ Barea and Jason Terry make shots, Chandler grabs 15 boards, and Marion chips in a little bit, then the Mavs are going to win.
If Chalmers, Miller, and Haslem play well then the Heat will win.
Diggler and Wade are the 2 best player out there though. Sorry Priest.

They have to win for at least a year then you can start to spend money because you cna then get talent for market value instead of overpaying. If they can just have a plus 500 record you are a viable option for a big name FA.

Well it’s done and they can move on. But they have to look long and hard for a manager with stature. They have to get a drawing card here as they start to bring up the young’uns they need someone who can meld them as well bring leadership to the vets. The A’s aint all that far just do a few more thing right. Starting with a manager who can convince fans he’s not some yes man.

NRA Refuses To Comment On Al Qaeda Video Urging Supporters To Exploit Lax U.S. Gun Laws
In a long meandering YouTube video released last week, American-born al Qaeda spokesmen Adam Yahiye Gadahn urged the terrorist group’s followers to exploit lax gun laws in the United States — particularly the private sale gun show loophole — to obtain weapons to murder Americans. But as Rachel Maddow noted this week, there’s a bit more to the story:
MADDOW: Even harder to believe than that, I submit is the fact that if you have been put on the terrorist watch list by the United States of America, you may not be able to board a commercial flight in this country — after all, you’re on the terrorist watch list. But you can legally still buy guns.
It’s also important to point out, as Media Matters’ Chris Brown noted, that because of this private sale loophole, “terrorists that are currently prohibited from purchasing guns can buy guns at gun shows from private sellers because the sellers don’t have to run background checks.”
The National Rifle Association opposes closing this so-called “terror gap,” and it also opposes eliminating the private sale gun show loophole. In fact, one day before al Qaeda released the Gadahn video, the NRA urged its supporters to contact state lawmakers in Delaware to defeat state legislation that would ban private sales at gun shows in Delaware. The NRA claimed that “the true intent of this legislation is to move towards an ultimate ban on all private sales — even those between family and friends – regardless of where they occur.”

I was reading some football mag the other day and came across an article on 49ers new HC Jim Harbaugh. I always liked him as a QB for the Bears & Colts “Captain Comeback”. He was asked why SF will run a West Coast offense this year and what made this offense his favorite flavor. He said that he’s always been a fan since his first coaching job with the Raiders and learned it from some great coaches in Bill Callahan & Marc Trestman
I thought that was pretty cool. Any thoughts?

You build a beautiful new stadium somewhere in Oakland with a great fan atmosphere, and more people will go to preseason games there, than regular season games at Overstock field.
You put next years SF-Raiders preseason game at Pac Bell Park, and it will be at a much higher % of capacity than last years game in Oakland.
This is a no-brainer Kool Kell. Get off your Al Davis bashing horse and sniff some reality.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:04 pm
Interesting you mention pac bell park, Vegas. Why not candlestick? Niners have good attendance there, have never been blacked out, as far as I know, and that stadium is in a rough area, and the stadium is a piece of dung. Why are the Niners able to sell out candlestick, a crumbling stadium in the middle of the ghetto, but the Raiders can’t sell out the coliseum,?
June 9th, 2011 at 1:06 pm
Vegas,
We got a four game series starting tonight. If the Reds are gonna get one, might have to be tonight. This bumgardner dude is only 2-7, although his era isn’t bad at about 3.5
Those West coast trips have always been hard on my Redlegs. Saturday afternoon is on FOX, and the finale is ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.
So I hope my boys are competitive, and give a good showing. They’re having a lot of problems with the pitching staff. Dudes going up and down to triple A to make rehab starts. Constantly shuffling.
That and they can’t buy a hit with RISP. They are defenitely scuffling. Still one over .500 with lot’s baseball left.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
What was the Giants attendance at Candlestick vs. Pac Bell?? It probably increased by close to 50% from one year to the next.
That’s my point.

Bumgarner is a fastball, slider pitcher, who throws strikes.
If you want to hit him, you have to do it early in the count, otherwise his location is so good he will make you chase just further enough of the plate to miss the barrel of the bat.
We got to keep Phillips off the bases in front of the big boys in the lineup.
Saturday is Lincecum I believe. Always must-watch TV when he pitches.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
You didn’t answer my question, though, Vegas. Why are the Niners able to sell out week after week in a deteriorating stadium, in a bad part of town, while the Raiders can’t sell out in a similar situation?
June 9th, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Here’s a link to SI’s ranking of stadiums.
Raiders rank higher than a few teams (including SF) due mostly to the accesibility and tailgating (the biggest pluses for the stadium).
But look at atmosphere. Dead-last in the NFL in atmosphere, and dead-last in attendance.
No coincidence.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Now Terelle won’t talk to NCAA investigators, because he is no longer a “student athlete”. But his lawyer can now say the allegations are “bogus” without backing up anything with facts. NCAA/OSU should make the scuz pay back his entire tuition, etc. for the three years he played.
BTW, Buckeye, do you know who holds the record for most TD passes as a Nohio QB? If so, the irony will not be lost on you…

Former Raider Jerry Porter tore his achilles tendon in CFL camp. Career is over. Dude has all the talent in the world but was a certified moron. The Raiders should ban the #84 jersey forever. Has there been any good Raider with the #84? Kenny Shedd?
jerry porter waist of talent he had a better superbowl game then tim brown that must have juiced his ego

Jerry Porter is easily the best receiver to wear a Raider uniform in the last four years.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
It is a fan survey as well, so when they rank Oakland as having the worst fan atmosphere, that is actually Raider fans doing the ranking, and pleading to Al Davis to fix it.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
who wants to know that i told the commissioner thats what needs to happen and he just smiled aint that a bi_tch
June 9th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Vegas, the bad atmosphere rating is surely because of the perception that the crowd is all thugs and freaks (cue Hunter Thompson quote) not because the building is so terrible. Which it pretty much is…
Wrigley Field is a crumbling hole with bad angles too but has phenomenal “atmosphere” because of the friendly party attitude, history and neighborhood.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Vegas,….hello?
Niners play in a deteriorating stadium, in a bad area. They sell out, week after week.
Raiders play in a deteriorating stadium, in a bad area, are blacked out frequently.
Why?

There’s nothing shiny and new about the 49ers, yet their fans still show up, to that dingy old stadium in Hunter’s Point, which is just as rough an area as East Oakland.

June 9th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
What it tells me, Vegas, is that they couldn’t sell out in ‘00-’03 for the same reasons they can’t now, and the reasons of stadium age and atmosphere have been debunked.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Ticket prices were higher in ‘00-’03, too.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
What does a music concert attendance have to do with football attendance? A band might play the area once every 5 years, so you go when you can.
You know what to expect when you buy a ticket to a music concert.
Can’t always say that with sports.

BSJGTJ,
That’s too damn long. lol.
Career TD passes leader as a Buckeye?
Don’t think it’s Terrelle, although he might own it, if he played as a Senior.
Let’s see…Kirk Herbstreidt, Nah. Jim Karsatos, Nope. Joe Germaine, don’t think so. Krenzel…maybe.
I wanna say probably Art Schlichter, because he was a problem child also, and you’d get a kick out of that.
I’m gonna go darkhorse candidate…and guess Bobby Hoying…’cause he was a Raider. Is that the irony you were getting at?
Was I right?
June 9th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Yes it was Schlichter, but he was much more than a problem child…guy has been in prison most of his adult life.
June 9th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Didn’t we go over this last year? The stdium issue, with Norco Bob.
People were talking about SF, and how their games were officially “sold out” even though there were thousands of empty seats every week. It was speculated that either the team or sponsors were buying the unsold tickets to avoid the embarrasssment of blackouts?
Candlestck and the coliseum are two of the oldest stadiums in the league. These are two of the most traditionally winning and storied franchises in NFL history. They have a combined 10 Super bowl appearances and eight Lombardis between them, and neither can get a new stadium in one of the largest markets in the country. Sad
June 9th, 2011 at 2:00 pm
well if the 3 teams come together they can build a stadium at 1.2 bill like the cardinals

Who was a more accomplished OC when they were hired as HC of the Raiders? Hue, or Gruden?
***
Gruden was only an OC for 3 years. one stint with the Eagles (1995-1997)
‘95: lost to Dallas in the playoffs
‘96: lost to SF in the playoffs
‘97: finished 6-10-1
the answer = Jon Gruden
Hue Jackson was trash in Washington & Atlanta. 8-8 in Oakland

What you guys are really saying is that the players should just give in to the owners’ demands, right? Because it’s the owners that have imposed the lock out. I just can’t discern any other meaning from when you guys say “this lock out needs to end”. If you’re not addressing the owners directly, and telling them to remove the locks, hence, the “lock out”, then you’re telling the players to give in.

A third member of the Cincinnati Bengals has come out to say that he doesn’t particularly want Carson Palmer to return to the team. Take it away, Adam Jones:
“If Carson don’t want to be here, damn him, period, point blank. I love the city of Cincinnati,” Jones told Eric Schmoldt of 102.3 in Denver via SportsRadioInterviews.com. “His little brother is here working out, which is a good sign. But if you don’t want to be here, I don’t want you here. I want some guys that want to play and want to win, period, point blank and that’s the end of that discussion.”
The cornerback formerly known as Pacman joins Tank Johnson and Cedric Benson as Bengals have come out publicly against Palmer. (Incidentally, the three men were once featured together on the “NFL Police Blotter Men of 2007″ calendar.)
The public condemnation won’t help Palmer’s chances of returning to the team, but ultimately we don’t think it will really make a difference. Palmer seems steadfast against returning to the organization. But if he changed his mind at some point, we don’t think what Johnson, Jones, or Benson think will really make a difference.
Like Palmer, they aren’t even guaranteed to be with the team in 2011. (PFT)

oh yeah the lotus years! Graham Hill was a great driver he picked up the team when JC died.. im only 33 so when I saw Ayrton Senna die, I realized this is not just entertainment…
you should start watch F1 again, 2 races ago they had twice the overtakings than they did in MotoGP race the same weekend… that says a lot! New rules made it a GREAT sport again..
Speedway I love because it still has that 70’s feel over it.. but I guess as an american you cant find on TV so it would be a pirat-web thingy… “I love the smell of Methanol in the evening”

June 9th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
“Total Access” host Lindsay Soto was determined to not to let Hue Jackson go without saying…something more specific about Asomugha and asked what the Raiders would do if the shutdown corner wasn’t in the Silver and Black next year.
“Well, I mean, it’s next man up,” Jackson said with a smile. “You know, that’s the way it is in the National Football League. If he’s not there, we’re gonna have to play somebody there. We’ve gotta play with 11, we can’t play with ten. So we’ll stick the next player out there. We think we have some talented players in CJ Johnson and obviously Stanford Routt. We drafted two very good young corners (DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa) I’m very excited about. We have some other guys we drafted a year ago. We need to make sure we create an environment for those players to be all they can be.”

CJ37 & Routt = starting corners

Is this Carson Palmer you’re discussing? If so why in hell would anyone in there right mind not want a QB of his stature.
Lefty12 man you’re not making sense…
June 9th, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Lefty,
Palmer is a 2x Pro Bowler. I don’t care if he turns 32 in December. he threw for almost 4,000 yards last year and 26 TD’s
plus he’s a Cali boy; Fresno, USC, etc
he’s disgusted with Cincy. If I had the cheapest owner in the league and a proven loser at HC and a bunch of clowns & criminals in the locker room I think I’d be looking for a way out as well
June 9th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
No one can get Palmer unless by trade and do you know what owner he plays for. That’s why he’s never mentioned the only way Palmer plays is if it’s for Cincinnati. The owner is nuts!
June 9th, 2011 at 7:08 pm

June 9th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
I think people get a little too involved in the race of a QB both ways and it’s obvious in here. If you root for a black QB automatically you don’t like white QB’s. I’ve been a huge fan of white QB’s my entire fanhood but also very vocal about the treatment of black QB’s and I will continue to be. But I’m not against white QB’s just because they are white, but there are definitely those against black QB’s because they’re black. And it’s always been that way.
So if you see a few of us seem s bit sensitive about that issue. We have reason for it.
June 9th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
I’ve read many comments on this board that Palmer isn’t wanted in Oakland.They say he sucks,he is washed up,he never was that good.If there is any reasonable way to get him,we’d be crazy not to try.
June 9th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
If Palmer were a FA I would OK with giving him a 2 year deal.
But I am not traidng for him, and giving up draft picks.
I’m not all that convinced he is that much better than Soup.
June 9th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Was listening to XM radio in the first half of the game, and DR. Jack Ramsey said Lebron in the 2nd half of game 3, all of game 4, and the first half of game 5,
is 1 for his last 19 jump shots.
Yikes!!!!!!!!
June 9th, 2011 at 7:25 pm
Well it doesn’t matter if he’s all that much better than Camp, which I’ll take a guy who’s beenn there everytime. We could use a vet like Palmer at that position as a matter of fact he’s exactly what I see as the vet QB that I was talking about weeks ago. Now I wouldn’t give up a ton for him given their situation but I would love to get that guy in here for about what we got Camp for, that is how you get great.

Back to Palmer I think if you reference his play in Cinci, you’ll see a guy who wasn’t competing the way he can. The garbage he was dealing with in those two idiots T.O. and Chad who wouldn’t get frustrated.

Palmer threw some horrendous interceptions last season.
The kind a vet QB of his caliber should never throw.
Some fantastic long range shooting going down in Dallas tonight.
Hard to believe these are the same 2 teams that struggled to hit a 3 the previous 4 games of this series.
June 9th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
Now you see what happens when LBJ is active and apart of the offense the other team is ynder too much pressure. He’s been dormant and unenaged makeing easier for the Mav’s to just sag in and play zone. When he keeps a live dribble and penetrate his court vision is second to none he’ll slice them to pieces.

June 9th, 2011 at 8:50 pm
I disagree LBJ had a good for the first time in 3games he was involved and the Mav’s just shot the lights out. If they can make 3’s like that the series is theirs. I like the way LBJ played tonite he was at least taking shots if you don’t make them no one can blame you. They got outplayed tonite.
June 9th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Wade shot his share of bricks too… you can’t blame a guy of he misses you’re not going to make all shots and teh Mav’s were hot as fire. Give them credit..
June 9th, 2011 at 8:54 pm
The shots the Mav’s were making tonite they wont make again the rets of the series everything they threw up went in lucky shots and all.
June 9th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Mavs in game 6. Bank it.
June 9th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Lebron is an elite player, but this series is proving that he is not an elite or clutch SCORER.
Down 2, with 3 minutes to go, he had a wide-open 3, because the Mavs defense was not even concerned with him shooting a 3. He of coursed bricked it.
You are not elite, when the defense doesn’t play like they are scared of you shooting.
Sorry “King” (LMAO) you might be the 5th or 6th best player right now in the series.
Marion and Terry scored all kinds of points right in his face all game. Jet’s 3 at the end left spooge in LBJ’s eye.

The Mav’s better win it in 6 because they wont win if it goes 7 not in Miami.
June 9th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Man misses a 3 doens’t mean anything one way or the other the ball bounces bad and sometimes like now for LBJ he’s not shooting with confidence.
June 9th, 2011 at 9:13 pm
Yeah can they do it on the road it’s easy when it’s falling the wya it was falling tonite they shot almost 70% from 3 which is better than they shot from 2….lol you telling me they will do that on the road agaginst this team???? I don’t think so!!!!…………….period

Eric Slpoestra is one of the dumbets coaches I’ve ever seen Mimai got here on Talent ALONE. That guy is cluesless…………..period
He may know what they need to do, but he sucks at getting them to do it.
+++++++
Truth….They lose i put it on the coach and his ineptitude…
June 9th, 2011 at 9:40 pm
No way he should be coaching….
June 9th, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Series OVA huh?
Miami has a team that is not built for a halfcourt game. They should be running up and down the court and allow LBJ to play street ball. Watch Riley takes over again next year and run it the way he had Magic ran it.
June 9th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
Riley hired Spoelstra. ACtually hand-picked him.
Why on earth would he coach different than his mentor or boss would? I’m sure the game-plan is created with Riley in the room.
Maybe the players will listen to RIley more, but that just goes to show what type of players they are.

Ok Priest,
I see you’re simply a fan of LeBron and are going to see things as you see them. Period ….., right?
I’ll take D Wade and Diggler over LeBron.
June 9th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
Riley also hired Stan as well didnt he? It was widely rumored before that he’d fire Stan and take over because the team is finally good enough. He did just that.
I never thought Spro was a long term guy there. Have been waiting on Riley to come back even this season. If they lose the finals, I fully expect Riley to come back. The current Heat make up is not a half court team. They dont have a true big man (Bosh is so soft) and would be much better off being a transition type offense.

Wassup Thec!
The guy is 2 wins away from a ring and he can’t coach?
I thought that offense he came up with tonight looked pretty good.
Not Spoelstra’s fault that LeBron let a 6′2 non athletic midget hit big shot after big shot. Not Spoelstra’s fault that LeBron can’t score in the 4th qtr.
June 9th, 2011 at 10:18 pm
At some point, you just have to start giving Diggler and the rest of the Mavs credit. Going through the Blazers, Lakers, OKC and Miami to get the ring is pretty impressive.
June 9th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
Jhill I’m a fan of basketball, it has zero to do with LeBron it’s probably more that you don’t like him. Guys shooting 3’s the way they were everyone gave up big shots not just him. But you seem to want to jump him ONLY!
JT was hitting those on everybody Jhill, a lot of those shots were LUCKY as hell. You’re making a big deal outta one game man. Sometimes guys get HOT!……….period
June 9th, 2011 at 10:35 pm
Spoelstra is in way over his head, that much is obvious the media is just trying to spare the guy. He doesn’t see thing quickly enough and make the adjustments. Chalmers is so much better than Bibby it’s laughable but he leaves Bibby in too long and he gets killed.
And they defibitely should post up James a lot more and have him use these guys. Post up Wade as well they both are sensational on the box.

LeBron is the only guy I see YOU talking about.
LeBron didn’t come here to lose – this

I was wondering why you were pumping him up instead of D Wade, is all.

June 9th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
Jhill no I wasn’t pumping him up I was just coming to defense because fans tend to focus on shots made and missed but LBJ played his best game of the series now he defeinitely needs to play better and I think he will. He was absolutely terrible before this game and I blasted him for it. But now he’s starting to get better it’s just that tonite the Mav’s were awesome yet the Heat still had a shot at winning within a minute to play. The Mav’s can’t play better than that.
June 9th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
I can’t wait until lockout is over, they are really trying to get that done now. Because secret meetings are taking place like crazy I think the players are fragmenting and so are some owners.
June 9th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
I knew when TJ the Clo-n said the series was “OVA” after game 1, the Heat were in trouble.
If only I could get him to root for the KC Chief’s.

****************************************************************
Two things wrong with this post 1) A coach that brings his team to the Finals is the absolute opposite of someone “over his head”. Miami has controlled every game so far but blows the lead late. Credit goes to Dalla. Veteran team with a beastly almost unfair clutch scorer in Dirk. And overall a team that does not cave under the pressure. Again they are a veteran team that has been in every game situation in all the biggest moments. Against a still inexperienced team with the exception of Wade. 2) Lebron hasn’t had a post game his ENTIRE career; ever; never-ever; it’s been non existent from the beginning. Wade can post sure, but give some credit to the OG Kidd who’s played some damn good defense. Geez. It’s been a helluva finals. Hope it goes 7.
June 10th, 2011 at 6:01 am
Jhill,
I guess you were right…
Jason Terry scoring = Dallas winning
LeBron 8/19 (0/4 three pointers) and 4 turnovers = not good enough in the Finals
thats 25 points in his last two games (combined) yuck
By the way, why don’t the Heat play defense on guys attempting a 3 pointer?
Barea, Kidd & Terry had ALL day to shoot, man. I’m disgusted
June 10th, 2011 at 6:11 am
James had a triple-double, but his two points in the final stanza came on a basket that was basically conceded to him, after Terry’s game-clinching triple at the other end.
Overall, he scored 17 points but needed 46 minutes to do it. The average NBA player this season, per 46 minutes, scored 18.9 points.
****************************************
James is scoring below the NBA average per minutes played.
Statistical, he is playing below-AVERAGE scoring the rock.
This is like Tyson-Douglas in Japan. Just amazing to watch someone so talented get punked and pushed around because he is so fragile mentally.
The “King” has scored 11 points in the 4th quarter of all 5 games, and has played every minute.
The Jet scored 8 points in the last 3 minutes last night, with every one of those matched up on Lebron.
He is even starting to regress defensively before us as well.
Really has been amazing to watch his plight. I would have never guessed it would be this bad.
June 10th, 2011 at 6:39 am
Good Morning Nation!
And all these talks of who’s better, LeBron or Michael…HAHAHAHAHAHA! Games 3 and 4…0 points in 4th, and last night…2 points! Nate Thurmund said last night, 17 10 10…triple double, good for an average player, but if you’re “The King”…???…
In all fairness though, DWade is beasting out there, bruised hip and all. If the Heat pulls it out, it will because of him…

June 10th, 2011 at 6:56 am
Dwayne has a history of willing his teams to the finish.
In fairness, LBJ did will that Cavs team to the Finals.
Dwayne willed a very un-talented Marquette team to the final four, and the Heat team to the finals.
He is willing this team right now in the finals as well.
He needs some help!!!!
June 10th, 2011 at 7:02 am
By the way, why don’t the Heat play defense on guys attempting a 3 pointer?
——————————————————-
And leave Diggler one on one?
Like I said last night, at some point it just has to be about Dallas. Now you see why I’ve been pumping Diggler up. There is not a better scorer out there. Like 510 said “beastly almost unfair clutch scorer “.
Portland, Lakers, OKC, and Miami.
Pretty damn impressive notches on Dallas’ belt.
Oh, and they get Caron Butler next year, lol.
June 10th, 2011 at 7:02 am
Dont ask the King for change for a dollar. He only gives you 75 cents. He does not have a fourth quarter

I could have cared less about BB untill the three amigos rose up out of the basement in the most pathetic display of flat out gayness I have ever witnessed on TV.
Now I spend all my spare time praying they lose and lose big although I like Wade and feel a little sorry for him. I think The king seduced him and made him part of his harem.
So who is dating the kings mom this year?

June 10th, 2011 at 7:20 am
Stephen A. Smith on I think the Herd yesterday (or Mike and Mike, not exactly sure) was hiting around that something off the court was distracting Lebron.
Maybe Eddie House is up in Gloria these days. Seems she likes ghetto backup SG’s.
June 10th, 2011 at 7:20 am
The more I think about it the more obvious it is. The kings mom hozilla, must be forcing Bosch to be her manho.
That would explain the vacant look in his eyes.
June 10th, 2011 at 7:31 am
I don’t know guys…Dallas did what they had to do last 2 games, and came 2 points shy of a finsih in Dallas (had they made a shot with 30 plus seconds left after Bosh’s jumper). They have to win in Miami on Sunday, or adantage Heat! But if JJ Punka** Barrera and Jason Terry keeps hitting…unless Wade takes over…it is over!
June 10th, 2011 at 7:36 am
G’morning fellas.
Lol. You guys are killing me. Is this the NBA or As the World turns?
First it was Kobe and the Lakers chance at a threepeat derailed by the “The Real Housewives of Los Angeles”.
Rumors of cheating, snitching and homewrecking.
Now the Heatles launch of a dynasty has been stalled because Lebron’s cougar mom has sunk her claws into a teammate and distracted “The King”. Too funny.
Next up on Inside Edition….NBA version.lol.
Sensationalism and tabloid journalism run amok. Unfortunately it’s all probably sad, but true.
June 10th, 2011 at 7:50 am
So what is the darn deal with football? Season or no season? Can we get Howie Mandell to intervene?
June 10th, 2011 at 8:02 am
Hwnrdr,
The latest is that the commish and D Smith were spotted dining together after yesterday’s meetings, which was described by witnesses as “jovial”. How’s that for some rumor mongering?
Hopefully, that’s a good sign. maybe there has been a thaw in the ice, and these guys are close to getting something done.
Both judges in Minnesota and St Louis have tried to nudge both sides into getting a deal done on their own. Hopefully they realize they are running out of time if there is to be a season with some sort of training camp and free agency.
There is enough money to go around. Hopefully sensible heads prevail. We want football!
