Jackson plans on serious talk with McClain
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, December 2nd, 2011 at 12:37 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Middle linebacker Rolando McClain hasn’t been ruled out of Sunday’s game in Miami, but he can expect a serious conversation about his legal problems with head coach Hue Jackson.
“Here’s the bottom line. There’s a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things, and obviously there was something done wrong,’’ Jackson said following practice Friday. “So we’ll go and deal with that accordingly from there.’’
Jackson said McClain was not at the team facility but expected a face-to-face meeting in several hours. The Raiders boarded a charter for Miami following practice.
McClain was arrested and charged with third degree assault, reckless endangerment, meancing and discharging a firearm within city limits Wednesday in his hometown of Decatur, Ala., where he was attending the funeral of his grandfather.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the NFL will follow the legal process before making any determination on discipline for McClain.
“It will be reviewed under the league’s personal conduct policy we do not have an estimated timetable,’’ Aiello said in an e-mail Friday. “It is a legal matter and we will follow developments.’’
Decatur defense attorney Billy C. Burney told the Associated Press McClain did not fire a gun and gave the following statement: “Mr. McClain asserts his innocence. We are confident Mr. McClain will be cleared of all charges.’’
Jackson said he was not inclined to wait for either the NFL or the legal process before determining what was best for the Raiders.
“(I) have now gotten more information and can make a very informed decision on what I think is best for our team and I’ll do that in the next day or so,’’ Jackson said. “Obviously, there’s a situation that happened and I’ve had an opportunity to digest it all. The important thing is we focus on this game.
“I have 52 other players that are doing things the right way and doing things as I see they should be doing it and we’re getting ready to play a game. I will deal with Rolando when that time comes.’’
McClain was officially ruled as “questionable.’’ If McClain doesn’t play, Darryl Blackstock is next on the depth chart and would get playing time but defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan said there are other options in terms of aligments and packages if McClain doesn’t play.
Jackson said he is confident McClain’s issues will not be a distraction, and Raiders players echoed that sentiment.
“You can’t be affected by that,’’ quarterback Carson Palmer said. “You need to have your thoughts and prayers with he and his family at a tough time, but this team is 100 percent focused on the Miami Dolphins right now.’’
Said Raiders safety Tyvon Branch:
“We’ve got one game at the end of the week and that’s our focus for the week,’’ Branch said. “Whatever happens during that week, we have to channel that stuff out and take care of business on Sundays.’’
Although the accuser was not named by police, he was identified and quoted by the television station WAFF and the Decatur Daily news as Rishard Tapscott, 23.
McClain and Jerradius Willingham, who was charged with assault and released on a $500 bond, were high school basketball teammates Tapscott at Decatur High School.
In an interview with WAFF, Tapscott explained his side of the story.
“I went over there, it was basically like an ambush, like they set me up to fight, because as soon as I got there they all went outside and I was sitting in the house,’’ Tapscott said. “That’s when they came back in the house and they were like, `You’re going to have to fight, come back out and fight.’ I was like, `I ain’t fighting. I ain’t coming outside,’ and that’s when he came back in the house and assaulted me.’’
According to the police statement, Willingham initially fought with Tapscott, who then crawled to his car. It was at that point McClain allegedly put a gun to his head, with Tapscott begging for him not to shoot.
(Tapscott was referred to as the victim in the report, not by name).
It was then that McClain allegedly put a gun to his head, then pulled away and fired.
Jackson said he was disappointed McClain put himself in a bad situation.
“We’re not going to let one thing bring down what we’re accomplishing, by no stretch of the imagination,’’ Jackson said. “Am I disappointed? Yes, just like anything. You get disappointed in your kids. All these guys are like my sons. And when they make mistakes, there’s consequences and things you have to deal with.’’

“I have 52 other players that are doing things the right way and doing things as I see they should be doing it and we’re getting ready to play a game.
_______________________________________________________
Key phrase here is “52 OTHER players”…
Clearly Hue Jackson feels that McClain contributed in some way to the situation, and he is not happy about it.
Remember, where there is smoke there is usually fire!
December 2nd, 2011 at 12:43 pm
SMH….. i hope this situation gets better and McClain learns from it.
December 2nd, 2011 at 12:44 pm

Strange news since someone recently mentioned the movie…the squeal like a pig dude from Deliverance died today….the perp, not the vic lol.

Sorry for my reluctance to give this kid a pass..but I am still haunted by the memories of Barrett Robbins in Tiajuana Super Bowl Weekend!
I’d rather have us get to the root of any issues NOW and eradicate them, then have them pop up during the playoffs!

The Vikings will be without Adrian Peterson again this week.
He wasn’t able to do much on his sprained right ankle at practice on Friday and coach Leslie Frazier announced that he won’t be in the lineup against the Broncos on Sunday. The ruling means more work for Toby Gerhart and it means that the Broncos can attempt to continue their push for a playoff spot without facing the most dangerous man on the Minnesota offense.
They also might be without one of their other weapons. Percy Harvin is listed as questionable after missing Friday’s practice with an “illness.” As you’d imagine, Frazier was asked if the problem is a migraine since Harvin has been bothered by them throughout his career.
“My first question, like your first question, was, `Is it a migraine?’ They told me they were evaluating the situation and we’ll let you know when you get back in. But everything that has been indicated to me is he’s going to be fine and it’s nothing like we’ve experienced in the past.”
Per Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the expectation is that Harvin will be able to play. If he isn’t the Vikings will be very short at receiver on Sunday. Devin Aromashodu, Greg Camarillo and Stephen Burton have 13 combined catches this season.
CRAP !!! Toby Gerhart Stinks
December 2nd, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Maybe Hue should punish him by making him watch Deliverance, particularly that Squeal like a pig scene, over and over again!
Speaking of “Over and Over”…anyone mention White Men Can’t Jump? Rosie Perez and her “Billy” screams…
December 2nd, 2011 at 12:48 pm

He said “Dead N-I-G-G-E-R-S”. I wasn’t feeling that at all.
In today’s society there is a difference between the two variations of the word. Tarantino’s use of the word was a racial slur. Fawk him!

It’s nice to know the NFL is staying out of the Raiders business, and letting the legal process run its course. I think Hue is going to give McClain a lesson about life tonight. If Rolando understands and is humble and wants to play Sunday, he will play. If he acts tough and says that he did nothing wrong, he won’t play. It’s as simple as that.

You said “Fawk Tarantino”, as if he’s a bad person for putting a racist character in his movie. Retarded, ArmChair.
_______________________________________________________
I was referring to Tarantino’s character using the word as a slur and pointing out that it was not being used as a term of ENDEARMENT.
I said “FAWK HIM”, referring to the characters use of the word. I simply didn’t mention Tarantino’s character’s name from the movie. Hope you can follow that mental midget.

lol. You guys are hilarious. Defending Rolando. He’s deactivated and gone. ASAP. Hue and Mark are in charge now, and they’re both about winning first. Al’s not around any more. If he were, McClain would be given plenty of more opportunities to set us backward. Not with this sheriff.

ArmChair,
the character was racist. Are you saying a director can’t have a racist character in his film without being racist himself? Just stupid. So Steven Spilbergh is a racist for doing Amistad? Because he had slave traders? He’s one too? Retarded.

So are you saying you have no problem with Tarantino as a person, putting that character into the movie and writing that line? You’re totally cool with it? Because it sure didnt’ sound like it.
December 2nd, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Hue is a man of his word…If he really has suspended Rolando, he is sending a strong message to this team.
Next man up! It is a PRIVILEGE to wear the Silver and Black, not a right! Remember that.
Now we need a capable middle linebacker.

Rude for me to interupt your beat-down of Sully. But you have to add that the character is not portrayed as being racist. He is friends with Samual L. Jackson and is married to a black woman. You are right the line does not fit…

I don’t KNOW Tarantino as a person. And NO I didn’t like that line in the movie, but clearly it was placed there to show some of the racist character traits of that character. But as a Black Man it still made me cringe when I heard it.
So when it was referenced here, I simply pointed out that it was not meant in the movie as a term of endearment, but rather as a slur, but somehow you must have missed that chapter in your Ethnic Studies Class at Sac State.

_______________________________________________________
Thank you Dutch! That line in the movie seemed to come out of nowhere. And furthermore Samuel L’s character didn’t seem to be bothered by it in the least.
That was why I hated that line so much, because the character was married to a Black woman, and was portrayed as being cool with Black people until he called us the N word. It totally came from left field.
Then looking at the fact that Tarantino actually is married to a Black woman in real life, it made me wonder if it was Art Imitating Life.
But like I said, I don’t know Tarantino personally, but the line rubbed me the wrong way, because there was no context for it provided in the movie.
But Frosty Farrakhan Sullivan and all of his infinite knowledge on the Black Experience ,somehow can’t seem to grasp this concept.

To answer your question, when used without any proper context, yes.
Furthermore, Rappers use the form of the word that has come to be accepted by many as a term of endearment. Tarantino’s character use the form of the word that is a slur.
I’m not condemning or condoning that use of it as a term of endearment, I am simply pointing out the difference between the two, and which one was used in Pulp Fiction.

In Street Principles for the average person, we might say ok, McClain was just sticking up for himself if this were true.
As a Professional in the Public Eye, you have to be smart enough to know that you can’t be caught in a situation like this. Hell, with as much money as he has, he could have paid someone to do that, and kept the heat off of himself.

amazing that the Bears & Texans both passed on McNabb … maybe they want him on a 1-year vet minimum deal?

December 2nd, 2011 at 1:59 pm
I know I am opening up a can of worms but in my opinion, the N word should be eradicated completely, in a PERFECT WORLD. Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world.
So when Black people originally began using it among each other, it actually served as a warped kind of bond or recognition of a common lineage and understanding between one another.
An understanding that we share a common experience and history in America, and that furthermore, despite that Scarlet Letter Brand placed upon us(That’s a Nathaniel Hawthorne reference for those that don’t know),
we are still here, persevering, and in many instances thriving.
That’s what the phrase means when you hear a Black person say..What’s up My N***A! It took the sting off the perpetual slur and attempted to turn it into something that we could live with. The old adage..If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Again I’m not condoning or condemning, I’m just giving some context for the reality that exists in our society.

And as far as the small element that does get into those situations, would it be any different from poor areas elsewhere in the country?
Pretty ignorant.
————-
Never said “most.”
And no, it’s no different from any poor area in the country.
That was kind of my point.
“Stuck doing what kids from ___insert troubled area here___ do” probably would have been more appropriate.
Or maybe just “stuck doing what immature kids with too much testosterone or watched Menace II Society or Scarface one too many times do.”

Now here’s Pt. 2
Because of the proliferation of Hip Hop in the 90’s and its wide spread acceptance by main stream America, many aspects of Black culture and interpersonal communication, that had previously been hidden to the masses suddenly became exposed for everyone to see.
So the N word in its form used as a term of endearment began to be heard, sung, and rapped, by people of all Races. Hip Hop became the new common experience that made the previously TABOO word outside of the Black community, an almost household thing among many young people.
Now again I’m not condoning or condemning, but it does raise questions…
Why has a word that originated from a slur against Black people become the Universal Term of Endearment for all races?
Why don’t people modify slurs for Hispanics, Asians, or Arabs and use those as well? Why is it only the word that came out of a painful Black experience that becomes ok for EVERYONE to use with impunity, without even understanding its origin or historical context.
So with that being said. I’m glad that despite the dirty, ugly things that have happened in America’s past, we can all come together, United by things such as Music or The Raiders, where it shouldn’t matter what our background is, as long as at the end of the day we all bleed Silver and Black!

Maybe Hue can organize a meeting with Rolando … himself, rod woodson, biekert, amy trask and mark davis can beat him up a bit.
then hold a gun to his head and ask to him to play like a francshise MLb and #8 draft pick, and send a round past his ear.

I hope he just comes clean… use this bad experience as a turning point… think about his son n family… leave the trash he hanged out with behind and go on with his life…

I was thinking of suspending McClain for being a dumba$$ and then using some more 3-4 while he is out. I think having Curry and Wimbley on the edge would just kill offenses

Miller’s Crossing is great. See it.
I liked Road to Perdition. It was mention Hanks isn’t the gangster type but he’s a hell of an actor and his character wasn’t supposed to be Tony Montana or anything.

December 2nd, 2011 at 1:59 pm
I know I am opening up a can of worms but in my opinion, the N word should be eradicated completely, in a PERFECT WORLD. Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world.
So when Black people originally began using it among each other, it actually served as a warped kind of bond or recognition of a common lineage and understanding between one another.
An understanding that we share a common experience and history in America, and that furthermore, despite that Scarlet Letter Brand placed upon us(That’s a Nathaniel Hawthorne reference for those that don’t know),
we are still here, persevering, and in many instances thriving.
That’s what the phrase means when you hear a Black person say..What’s up My N***A! It took the sting off the perpetual slur and attempted to turn it into something that we could live with. The old adage..If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Again I’m not condoning or condemning, I’m just giving some context for the reality that exists in our society.
————————-
the whole point was that the n word would be used. You make the word into a term of endearment, yet the statistics and social conditions haven’t improved for the majority of the people, thereby making the word continually a negative connotation.
If you read the Willie Lynch letter , you will realize that there have been ways to coordinate a continuing psychological de-construction of African-americans, particularly males. Tyler Perry films also add to this comical 21st century “coonery”, and the McLain episode continues this imagery (amid other indiscretions of A.A. players off-the-field).
It isn’t like blacks aren’t doing well, its just blacks doing bad play better to cause controversy and light up blogs and phone lines to right wing shows.

Birds, Jaws and Psycho…. all great movies, though not sure you could call horror movies.
Most horror movies are made for shock value rather than quality, so very few make my list.

Rumors arise of a JaMarcus Russell comeback
Posted by Mike Florio on December 2, 2011, 7:17 AM EST
Brett Favre isn’t coming back. Jeff Garcia isn’t coming back. Kenny Stabler isn’t coming back.
But JaMarcus Russell could be.
According to the Lake Charles (La.) American Press, “[r]umors are swirling” that the first pick in the 2007 draft could be joining the Louisiana Swashbucklers of the Professional Indoor Football League.
(And now you’ve actually heard of the Louisiana Swashbucklers of the Professional Indoor Football League.)
Per the report, Swashbucklers media relations director Duane Bergeron said the organization “would not confirm or deny contact with Russell or his agent.” Likewise, team G.M. and president Chris Meaux said in a statement released to the American Press, “We are not prepared, at this time, to comment on any player-contract negotiations.”
Though it seems like he’s been gone for a long, long time, Russell last played for the Raiders on January 3, 2010. He has 4,083 passing yards and 25 career starts.
If the 26-year-old Russell returns to football in any capacity, it’s surely a sign that he’d like to return to the NFL. And it could be a sign that he finally has realized that, in order to get the most out of his God-given abilities, he needs to at least try.

I have been very vocal about McClain. Here are the facts that we can all agree on: His play has been less than stellar. He has a slug lodged in his rig earlier this year. He was just arrested. Any one of these things would be bad, but when you combine all three? Someone brought up Darrent Williams yesterday. McClain seems to be headed on the DW track. When Williams was killed that really messed the Bunco’s up. My point is it is probably time to start looking at other options in the middle.

=========
Miller’s Crossing is great. See it.
I liked Road to Perdition. It was mention Hanks isn’t the gangster type but he’s a hell of an actor and his character wasn’t supposed to be Tony Montana or anything.
The end kind of makes it though.
I liked it quite a bit, though it doesn’t quite crack my greatest 50 or anything.
************************************************
Road to Perdition was adapted from a popular graphic novel. The movie version wasn’t quite as convincing and I never bought into Tom Hanks in the role.
Miller’s Crossing is a classic by the Cohen brothers. A glimpse into the Irish mob during prohibition America. As much a cultural study as a crime drama.
A tour de force for Gabriel Byrne. Would be in my top 10 for any genre.

December 2nd, 2011 at 4:22 pm
No doubt the defense plays better when McClain is on the field.
But is he bigger than the team? No.
If he gets a slap on the wrist if he is found guilty than what message does that send to the team?
D Moore can pistol whip someone because he’s a potential Pro Bowler in the future.
Mcfadden can sick his pit bulls on someone because he’s the best RB in the league.
Jacoby Ford can pimp slap hoes on E 14th st because he’s one of the best Kick returners in the league.
See where this is going? Hue Jackson has a moral obligation to show the team that he means what he says, and that NO ONE is bigger than the Raider Shield!

Not saying he should be out fist-fighting and jacking off rounds near dudes heads, but hey, we are the Raiders and this is our MLB.
We don’t want to hitch our wagon to him in the future, fine, we takes step to make a change in 2012.

Had to go with UCLA +31 tonight. Haven’t even seen a UCLA game all year, but that number seems a little much. That’s the kind of line you’d expect to see Oregon get against some 1-9 type team.
Last time I recall following that logic of course was when Colorado was a 30+ point underdog in the Big 12 Championship game. They came out and got smoked like 70-0 to the Vince Young Texas Nat Championship team. The bright side on that one was that I realized how good that Texas team was and went super heavy on them in the championship game against USC.

Yes it was. My dad grew up with Tony Spilotro (the gangster portrayed by Joe Pesci in Casino). Accurate in that Spilotro was 5′5 and so is Pesci. My dad similarities in the way Spilotro talked, carried himself etc. Dad said Spilotro acted tuff like that too. He was small but took no crap from ANYBODY.
Spilotro started small; doing small burglaries, roughing people up, threatening guys etc. and finally made a few “hits’ and did well “collecting” from the Chi. west side gamblers. They sent out to Vegas to work the skim at the Flamingo and the rest is history.
Dad says the movie is very accurate except for how Spilotro and his brother met their demise. It wasn’t in a cornfield as portrayed but instead in a basement in Bensenville (Chi. suburb) then transported to the Indiana cornfield where his (and his bros.) remains were eventually discovered.

I think we’ll get them all back. I’m starting to feel like McFadden won’t be back till maybe the Lions game or possibly even the Chiefs game after that though. He was just walking on it this week. I don’t know that he’ll go from walking to playing in a game in a week and a half.
I think Ford and Moore may be back for the Packers game though. I think as long as we get into the playoffs, that’s when we’ll be able to be at full strength with all our weapons, barring any additional injuries or setbakcs.

I’ve been in RoMac’s corner since he was drafted, but he shouldn’t remain with the team, either suspend and or bench him for the rest of the season. I don’t know how the rules play out, but he shouldn’t be on the field until he gets his case cleared out.
Now, I can see why RoMac hasn’t played up to his high draft potential, his mind is not focused on the game. The Raiders can’t have that type of attitude, that’s the main thing that has to change with the Raiders. HueJax needs to set the tone and nip this up asap.

Are they? Is it going to be legit with Keanu at least (Swayze obviously can’t be in it), or is it going to be one of those cheesey, low-budget sequels where they take a bunch of no-name actors, a horrible script and produce some straight-to-home video garbage and get a few bucks off the title.

Raids don’t need a criminal conviction against McClain to take some in-house punitive action.
Suspension and possibly dismissal wouldn’t be out of order.
If I was excused from my job to attend a funeral and wound up getting arrested for this type of crap, I’d expect to be fired. I’d deserve to be fired.
Can’t tell your coach you’re going to miss practice to attend a funeral and then wind up getting arrested under these types of circumstances. Disrespectful. Juvenile. Asinine. Dangerous. Irresponsible.

Of course he went and saw his buddies, and $hit got out of hand for a minute, and he got a few misdeamenors.

I talked to a friend of mine who is a teammate of one of McClain’s boy’s from Decatur.
He told me that “there was a fight amongst the guys there at the gathering but McClain was not one of the guys fighting. There was no gun threat by McClain.” The victim mentioned McClain because McClain is rich and was present at the scene. Said McClain should not get into any trouble over this incident.
So this is consistent with what Hue knows and what McClain’s lawyer said about he’s confident McClain will get cleared of this mess.

Wow. Just got a backdoor cover on the first half line of +19. Unbelievable. Split the bet up thinking UCLA might come out fired up to play for its coach and hang tough for a half at least. Got lucky there and I’ll take it. Don’t expect they’ll keep it under 31 though without the help of a turnover or three and perhaps a garbage time TD.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:04 pm
Having some bad recollections of the left side of the Fin defense completely dominating the right side of the Raid offensive line last year. Every run attempt was completely stonewalled. Think the final tally was something like 10 rushes for 1 yard. Couple of times I was reminded of the safety the Texans put on the Raids 4 yards deep in the end zone a few years ago.
A win on Sunday and the Raids are sitting pretty. A loss, with GB and Detroit on the horizon, brings the potential of a 3 game skid and the season possibly spiraling out of control.
No let up. Smash the Fins.

I’d hang with Rolando and give him a chance. This could turn out to be a blessing in disguise if he responds the right way. But if he cops an attitude or even just continues along the way he was doing I’d be looking elsewhere this offseason.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:08 pm
DMac does run tough though. Gotta give him that. It’s like watching a Ferrari not afraid to plow into a pickup truck the way he takes on these LBs and safeties. Not sure why it seems to take him so long to get over these injuries though.

Wow. Patriots are 20.5 favorites against the Colts this week. Can’t remember the last time I saw a line like that. Prob stay away from that one though. That’s a lot of points, but Colts have worst rated pass D in the league. Brady should eat them up, but that’s a big hill to climb to get out of spotting a team 20+ points.
————————————————————————————————————–
I do. I remember playing a football card (although spreads are off a little)years ago and the same Colts were 21 point dogs to San Fran. If I’m not mistaking the Colts won straight up.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:19 pm
I hope Hue and Al cook something up to keep the Dolphins guessing. That split second of uncertainty can really hurt a Defense.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:20 pm
I’ll bet our run defense avg would be awesome if you took away runs by the QB.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:22 pm
well, we have to cook up something. if we can’t beat the dolphins, i don’t know if we are going to go far the rest of the season. Not the way Denver is playing.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Last two games the qbs had thrown 3ints….something to think about
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:24 pm
I think we match up well with GB. We can put up points and grind the clock with our run game. If the front 4 brings it to at least slow Rodgers and force some short posessions we’d be in business.
Very true that though Miami is first and is actually a much more important game for playoff positioning purposes.

Denver is awful. I wouldn’t be shocked if they lose 5 straight. Tebow should be arrested for defaming the QB position.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:26 pm
That’s a big pay out I someone picks Colts n they somehow win straight up lol

Back when the Patriots had the undefeated season they would have the same line. Only ten times in the history of the NFL has their been that kind of spread.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Denver may be awful but they find a way to win. Vikes won’t be able to stop them, so we better win or we’ll be out of first place. i agree tebow sucks, but………………
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Patriots often covered those spreads as well that year. That team was ridiculous the first 12 or so weeks of that season. They slowed down late, but were obliterating teams early on. I was actually riding them with those big spreads and winning often that year.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:34 pm
have to contain the penalties like we did last week and stop Moore from running. that will help. need heyward-bey to step up along with Louis Murphy and Boss!!
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:35 pm
I could see Pats easily winning 24-3…
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:36 pm
I think Hue has the team focused and will have them focused for Sunday! Just saw that the team has landed in Miami…get some rest and get up early and have a walk through….I believe the team knows that the time is now! Hopefully we keep our road record going strong at 5-1!

Those were the margins of victory for the Patriots in their first 10 games that season. The one 4-point win was against the also undefeated at the time Colts. Pats slowed down some in toward the end of the season but still had another pair of 21-points wins on top of these in the regular season.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:38 pm
If you really think about it who have denver really played that was actually good? If we didnt tank we had em beat. They played crappy teams suck as jets chiefs chargers and dolphins which dolphins should have won. C’mon man they got blown out by the lions on their own turf. And all those games were close and the defenses wore down thats how tebow get those outside runs that he couldnt get in the first tthree quarters. Im tired of all this tebow love really give me a break carson isnt even getting love tebow is getting and he is 3-1 as a starter and leading the afc yet all you hear is all this tebow broncos bs the raiders dont even exist. Its gotten do bad that they are making a playbook special for him. I cant wait til they lose to the patriots im sure that will finally wake them up and i see them winning against the vikings cant believe im saying this but with AP out and a hurt percy harvin the broncos have them but i could/hope/wish i was wrong

If Raiders beat Miami and go 4-2 in the AFC West they walk into the playoffs. Easier said than done.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Patriots were killing that year. Unlike our Raiders, always winning out dog fights and keeping the game interesting. My Grandpa always said that it is not good being an old Raider fan, as he is more likely to come down with a heart attack with the late game drama.

True. I really don’t want it coming down to that last week with a must-win for a playoff spot on the line. I think just getting in is going to be a lot of pressure on this team. Once we’re in, I think they can cut it loose a little more and be a real, real dangerous team.

The Raiders can’t afford the RoMac distraction, don’t need HueJax wasting time changing diapers and spanking fools. Bench or suspend him, and let him deal with and clear his legal case. Make him earn respect, and see if he truly wants to redeem himself. Otherwise, he has lost my respect. Can’t tolerate fools specially with guns, fools don’t seem to learn even after Gilbert Arena and Plaxico’s fiasco. Guns and fools don’t mix.

May I remind you McClain’s been convicted of NOTHING.

Might I remind you that you should think before you post? He’s guilty of stupidity in the 10th degree, you moron. Let’s say he didn’t do anything that was mentioned. (we know he did). He picked up his gun that he just re-registered. Had it on him. That alone is dumb. Not leaving immediately when it was obvious the situation was going south says he’s likely dumber than you, and for that slight, I’ll have to offer him my apologies.

How tall is Death Ro? seriously dude looks like he has to be atleast 7ft in that picture. Unless those po po’s are just really short.
Anyway, did anyone catch the Raiders on Jim Rome today? They were free stylin, That practice squader LB Leman thought he could flow, I guess it wasn’t all that bad for a white boy. Q.Groves is the best that I saw in that clip. he layed it down last year for The Rome Show to.

Sometimes it is the tough times that bring a team closer and make them better. Hue has done a beautiful job of negotiating the obstacles this year and he will do it again here. I hope ro uses this to his benefit regardless of what part he played. It is my hope and belief that the team will.
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Why would a 6′4″ 250lbs man need a gun for a beat up man crawling to his car anyway. I know its not confirmed but he was arrested for a reason. Coward
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Not a single one of us was at the scene of the alleged crime and most of you are giving a 23 year old that got beat down credibility over a 22 year old that has been mediocre manning our D.
Anyone ask what did this scrub do to get beat down?
Anyone ask who actually did the beat down?
Anyone ask who actually pulled the trigger?
Anyone wonder why ROMAC was catting it for the camera?
Anyone wonder why exactly zero people have said they witnessed this beat down?
Ideally, ROMAC is no where near any BS like this, but he was and it’s only a distraction if the other 52 men allow it to be.
If he was in the wrong time will tell and Hue and the NFL will take care of it. But there is a fact that you can’t suspend someone because of 4 alleged misdeamors.
Bail was $2000 anyone on this board ever been in jail and have to get out on a bond? Try $10,000 for selling Mary Jane, just to give everyone some perspective. 2Gs is NOTHING.
That being said, ROMAN needs to stay is ash away from any place that requires him to carry a piece. He’s in a different tax bracket now…pay someone to lay someone down.
Final note. We have surrendered 1488 yards rushing. With ROMAC out that’s 299 yards against the Broncos. Those 190 yards or so is the difference between us being 27th against the run and 12th to 17th. That’s a HUGE difference this guy makes.
If anything put him on notice that one more incident and he’s gone. Then plan to find his replacement in the off-season while he thinks that he has to work his way back into the team’s good graces.
Win-Win.
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:58 pm
No, Arenas and Burress weren’t Raiders, but they were fools with guns who, one got a year suspension, and the other did jail time.
And it’s even more foolish comparing the old timers (Stabler, Tooz, Stork, etc.) that would party hard and late, and still get up to play in the super bowl the next day, but that was a long time ago in another era. Those teams were constantly winning and excelling, this Raiders team has been trying to get out of some crazy insanity, the last thing they need is another gansta fool.

December 3rd, 2011 at 5:59 pm
Mcclain should only have to apologize to his team mates,the guys whom he goes to war with on each and every Sunday.He doesnt owe me or any of us anything for that matter even though we are fans I think Hue should let his bothers of the gridiron decide if he should play or not thats who he is with and has to look in their faces n explain to them and take accountability 4 what happened back in Bama.We really are on to something this season and we can raise sum hell and make some noise if we make it into post season play.So with that being said if RoRo’s 52 other brothers can forgive him and welcome him with open arms then “I” beind a disciple of Al Davis and member of this Raider Nation Cult can find it within myself to do the same…..Raidazzz 4 Life Babyyyy!!!!!!
