OTA highlights
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 at 3:57 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Highlights from Thursday’s organized team activity session, the last time the media will see the Raiders as a group until they convene at the Napa Marriott on July 25, with practice starting the following day:
– Cornerback Michael Waddell intercepted an Andrew Walter pass on the dead run and returned it for a touchdown on the final play of the session.
The first-team offense avoided a turnover, but didn’t manage to move into position for even a field goal attempt during their two-minute drill. A JaMarcus Russell pass bounced off the hands of running back Justin Fargas on fourth down.
– Midway through the two-minute drill, defensive tackle Terdell Sands was looking for shade and bent over at the waist near the hydraulic lift machine, gasping for air. Sands was back at practice after missing last week’s OTA due to a personal matter.
– Free safety Gibril Wilson missed practice for the second straight week with another personal matter, which arose Monday, Kiffin said.
Wilson’s absence gave rookie fourth-round draft pick Tyvon Branch work with the first team.
“ It’s been great for him and he’s really seized the opportunity,” Kiffin said. “That’s what happens and we don’t look at when somebody’s not here as that guy not being here. We look at it as more reps for someone else and more guys to seize the opportunity at different positions. Tyvon’s done a great job.”
Although there were no major gaffes Wednesday, this quote has the earmarks of Kiffin talking up a rookie’s confidence. Branch has struggled in coverage during most media sessions. Known as a big hitter and a sure tackler, Branch’s true worth will become more apparent during training camp.
– During one team session, Russell saw an opening and ran up the middle up for a 12-yard gain, prompting an exasperated Keith Millard to chastize his defensive linemen.
“C’mon, guys,” Milllard urged.
Kiffin agreed with the assessment that people don’t realize how mobile Russell truly is and noted, “I think they’ll forget how hard he is to bring down, too. There’s a lot of plays in college where guys are draped on him and they can’t bring him down because of his size and strength.”
– Rookie Trevor Scott was getting work with the first team at right end, although it should be noted the Raiders were substituting liberally.
– Fourth-round draft pick Arman Shields is not practicing with a hamstring pull _ he’s been out since the rookie minicamp _ and it has put him behind fellow rookie Chaz Schilens, a seventh-round pick of similar size who has had some solid moments.
“It puts him in a hard situation,” Kiffin said. “It puts him behind right away. It’s a lot of work. Those other guys have gotten a lot of work and a lot of work with these quarterbacks. But the first day of training camp isn’t the first thing he can do. He’ll be in there this offseason so he can throw, he can work with our coaching staff at certain times. It’s up to him how fast he catches up.”
– With both Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard missing practice with previous engagements, it meant a lot of practice time for Ricky Brown and Jon Alston, both hoping to remain as reserve linebackers/special teams players.
Alston prompted a brief sideline scuffle with a hit on Drew Carter on the sideline which was clearly beyond the bounds of the “no contact” limitations.
– Chris McFoy beat Chris Johnson in a seven-on-seven drill and hauled in a perfectly thrown corner route from Walter, prompting a playful headslap by Johnson to McFoy after the play.
– Tight end Tony Stewart, who was active for 16 games but did not catch a pass last season, made several catches Wednesday, including one difficult, juggling grab.
– Free safety Hiram Eugene made a nice break on Walter pass intended for McFoy and broke up the play.
– Jarrod Cooper, apparently fully recovered from ACL surgery, was back on the field with no restrictions and was getting lots of defensive work. Always quick to apply the needle to a teammate, Cooper’s target Wednesday was Johnnie Lee Higgins.
“Hey Higgins, make a play,” Cooper said.
Later, Cooper urged Russell, “Throw it to Higgins. He hasn’t made a play in two weeks.”
– Center Jake Grove, who hasn’t practiced through minicamps and OTAs following offseason surgery, looks more bulky, but Kiffin believes the weight is well distributed.
“Jake’s doing extremely well with what he can do as far as the weight room and rehab,” Kiffin said. “We’ve got a lot of expectations for Jake to come in and battle for the starting spot at center.”
Chris Morris was back working with the first team at center after giving way to John Wade last week.
– Justin Griffith missed practice to run a youth sports camp, with Tony Jackson getting most of the work at fullback. Oren O’Neal remained sidelined with a hamstring pull, watching from the sidelines.
– Marques Tuiasosopo looks as if he could challenge Walter for the starting job, operating in an offense more suited to his skill set than the systems run by Norv Turner and then Art Shell/Tom Walsh.
“He’s done a real good job, especially in the move-the-ball situations, moving the ball around and getting it to the right people,” Kiffin said. “It feels like he’s been here a long time.”
That must of been the problem with Shell and Walsh. Not enough “move-the-ball” situations and too many instances of “drop back and look for a soft place to land.”
– Kiffin continues to laud Russell’s preparation and work ethic, and Russell said he is working as hard mentally as he is physically.
“I have everything on DVD and I watch it at home myself,” Russell said. “Everything _ runs, steps or pass settings _ anything that I can become good at _ I go home and look it over myself.”
– Russell said he planned on getting some R&R time, but wouldn’t overdo it, joking that stories would surface that he is “back up to” 300 pounds.
– The Raiders opted to make Wednesday’s session open, keeping their final session out of the prying eyes of the media.
“Tomorrow we’ll go to more of a team format, kind of have fun with guys, divide them up, let them play a little bit,” Kiffin said.
A Raiders spokesman confirmed there would be no confirmation of Javon Walker getting into town Wednesday night and that Walker would not be available for interviews Thursday.

that was ridiculous! lakers wouldn’t make it past the first round in the east.
i’m ashamed that i only bet 250 on game 6. i’m soooo stupid.
dakota.. i hope the raiders win a game this year. by your expert opinions of sports… we don’t have a chance.
i’m pissed. first off.. the whole first half the refs tried to HAND it to the lakers. thankfully, the Celtics remained in the moment on there 39 point victory. that was ridiculous. it should have been 60. i’m dissappointed in the Cs. but hey.. i’ll take it.
lakers are a minor league team.

Jim,
Way to show some class, lol. What, are you 12 or something? It is one thing to talk smack before a series starts, but to spew such BS after a series is over is kind of pathetic.
Maybe that kind of attitude is why what happened to you happened? Maybe a little of TW’s karma thing going on in your life?

Let’s see, Al Davis blows a fortune on another stupid thug that isn’t going to do anything for us? Sounds like the dumbest owner in all of football, to me. I don’t expect anything good to come out of this franchise until Al Davis croaks. He just keeps signing these thug monkeys, and we keep losing year after year.

Eyepatch. That’s not acceptable. Come to our congregation at the barn on Sunday, and we’ll discuss it there. I hear what you’re saying, and my church is the church for you, bro. We need to look out for each other. Thugs are taking over the world. But let’s be easy on the language in here, alright? This is a football blog. See you on Sunday, when we’ll really let it rip, Eyepatch.

Kool Kell can’t stay away from this blog, kind of like how he can’t stay away from watermelons and chitlens.

Vegas, I think Alex will have a decent year this year.

June 18th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
And, Alex Smith, go take it to a niner blog. Nobody wants to hear it, here. Are you gay, Alex Smith? You do know what happens to gay people when they die, don’t you? I used to be gay myself, but I found god. I still get the urge. All of the time. Especially when I watch sports. JaMarcus, the way he wears those pants…Anyway. It’s god’s word, homosexuality is forbidden. So I have to control myself. I want to go to heaven. You need to find peace with the lord too, Alex Smith. I know you guys are all hot and bothered from the marriages taking place this week. God knows I am. Help me, lord.
June 18th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I hear ya vegas,…what can I say? Bad idea to take a qb out of Utah.
June 18th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Sorry Eyepatch. No gays allowed in our congregation. They’re thugs, and they’re living the life. We don’t allow that.

June 18th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Alex Smith, you didn’t answer eyepatch’s question. Are you a fudge packer, like him? Are you a thug, living the life, Alex? Because we can help you. We feel that by getting rid of all thugs in the country (wink wink), we can take away the environment that leads to living the life. Come and see us at the barn on Sunday, Alex.

wow, nobody on here is concerned that our only legitimate run stopper, Turdell Sands is having breathing issues on the sidelines of practice. That is a potentially serious problem for this defense, I still can’t believe we didn’t get Red Bryant or Dre Moore when we had the chance. I hope they have plans to get somebody to shore up that D-line or it is gonna be another long season.

June 18th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Imagine if Al had taken the money spent on Walker this year and had used that either of the past two years to get Stienbach or even better Hutchinson. No imagine one fo those two paving the way for D-Mac.

The conclusion to the series was no surprise after the Lakers got robbed by refs the first two games anf after the choke job…it was over…
The NBA has had a serious problem with officials and it will keep on happening and happening until the evil Stern is gone! The NBA has no credibility and there league is compromised by shady officiating.

Be a man and say it to a black person’s face.

Yes I’d be upset if my mother looked like the woman from “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”, and I never get out of my backyard barn animal farm where my pigs is the only thing that will have sex with me. It must been old wounds from going off to college and your blue eyed white woman left you for a black athletic stud relegating you to many night of internet porn and pizza hut delivery.

Well put, Pastor. I’ve never met a pastor who constantly uses terms like “punking out”. Not exactly Jesus like, now is it? But then again, you’re not a real pastor. You’re a racist white guy from the south or midwest who finds refuge in the church, thinking it will cure your meth addiction. And, speaking of your meth problem, you were online till 4am last night, so I think we know how that’s going…

That is exactly what I said after finding out about the Lakers/Kings game 6 in the 2002 Western Conference Finals. I find it very ironic that a fan of a team that continually gets help from the refs is crying about officiating. I guess when games aren’t handed to you like you are used to, you b*tch and moan.
It all sounds like excuses to me. Face it, the Lakers got their a$$es handed to them by a faaaar suprior team and showed ZERO heart. I am now waiting for Kobe to ask to be traded…

Brien, the game passed Al Davis by. He sucks. That’s the point I’m making. You agree Al Davis has no clue what he’s doing anymore, don’t you?
June 18th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Brien, back to the Al Davis thing. He sucks. He has no clue what he’s doing anymore. You do realize that, don’t you?
June 18th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Hi Oakglenn! # 118.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Oakglenn, I know it’s been a rough week for you. Javon Walker was our next Tim Brown, far as you were concerned. He probably won’t play one down for us. I know you’re worked up. We’re here for you, bud.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Florida Pete, go ahead, work the cockroach thing like your lame mother’s basement joke. You have zero comedy skills, dude. But it’s a relief to know you’re at least agnostic, and not the certifiable jesus freak you act like most of the time.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Al Davis is the man
June 18th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Dead blog Jerry till you get registration, I’m out.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Oakglenn, I’m sorry Javon has bust written all over him. I’m sorry that 80 year old fossil running the team didn’t take the time to figure out why Denver wouldn’t pay a dime for him. But it is what it is. Calibrate yourself around that fact. You’re coming undone.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Al Davis is the man, Brien, who’s 19-61 since Gruden bent him over in Super Bowl 37.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
MR -
I keep owning you under many names and yet you keep accusing me of being Oakglenn. You are truly the biggest fukkin idiot on the planet. Truly.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
whats up nation
June 18th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Game never passed Al by…….he gave people numerous chances and now he is taking back over just like he needs to
June 18th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
I know what the Raiders record is the past 5 years, since your duma– tells us everyday. Why don’t you try to answer this one dramaqueen?
MaddenRaider Slapper Says:
June 16th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
MR Nonsense:
You’re a fan, you have an excuse. Al doesn’t. He should have drafted Dorsey. That would at least get opposing offenses to run to his opposite side, making them just a little more predictable. Al wasn’t thinking about that, which is inexcusable for an NFL general manager.
–
For the 20th time MR, did you see McFadden run for nearly 400 yards the last 2 games against your run-stopper? Since you know so much more than the Raiders organization, why don’t you enlighten us on the reasons that Dorsey got b!tch-slapped by McFadden the past two years…After 15 minutes of not being able to solve that brain buster, then explain to us(including Dakota) why you’re still here after stating you wouldn’t be here if we took McFadden…Here, I’ll just answer the questions for you. You’re a liar.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Bye, eyepatch. Hope you fully recover from whatever accident you had, man. Stick with those therapy classes.

Like taking candy from a baby, only easier.
Al Davis is GOD and Ron Wolf is a puppet. MR wishes he was a puppet just so he could have someone’s hand continually up his a$$.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
If the game passed by, how did we go to the superbowl in the 2002 season? Oh wait, lemme guess, Jon Gruden was secretly running the team like Ron Wolf use to.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
only morons keep talking of dorsey when we got kelly who plays the same position……..thats just like hey lets get tracy mcgrady when you have kobe already

Brien, you can dance around it all you want, Al Davis hasn’t put together a team that can so much as win 3 straight since Gruden just manhandled him.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Look Mrs……….I know your lover Elliot Spitzer will be home soon…….we are distracting you from your womanly duties………everyone leave her alone so she can find her apron
June 18th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Oakglenn, you were big on Walker a few months ago. You were using his signing as evidence that Al Davis still has what it takes. How’s that going?
June 18th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Brien, so you agree, Al Davis has no clue what he’s doing anymore, right? You still haven’t answered that.

Florida Pete, I’ll admit, that was good. Probably Oakglenn’s best joke yet. Take notes so you can move beyond the mother’s basement thing.
And, Oakglenn, again, how’s the Walker thing going? Remember, you were using his signing as evidence that Al Davis still has what it takes. You were swearing by it. How’s it working out so far?

REGISTRATION JERRY!
June 18th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Brien, you’re going back to 2002 to suggest that Al Davis knows what he’s doing…As if Gruden didn’t build that team. But you do know Al Davis has lost touch with the game. You understand that, right? The Walker signing? And this is just the beginning. Wait till D. Hall gets out to the yay.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Walker will be fine……..anyone remember paul pierce getting stabbed only to have an excellent year in 2002 playoffs?

So where was he MR? You keep touting this guy as the run-stopper who we should have taken over DMC yet, DMC owned him the last two years w/o a passing game. Are you admitting he made no impact? The guy was playing with two other NFL high round picks on the line and they couldn’t stop him. Like I said, break it down for us, where was Dorsey in those past 2 games? Here’s your chance to prove you know about personnell than Al Davis…
I see you avoided the 2nd question.
Also if Al Davis has a hemroid ring, you should handle changing that. You know your way around a man’s ass much more than I do. LOL@U!!
June 18th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Kell is right this blog is screwed up because of the ridiculous ignorant statements made on here and Jerry or this supposed Moderator isnt doing crap.
The thing is Kell these guys are suckas. They are real bold behind a keyboard. If we were out ther tailgating they wouldnt dare state some racist crap like that. They know they would get rolled up in a heartbeat.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Brien, are you going to offer a defense for Al’s performance since 2002? At least you’re not blaming league conspiracies, I’ll give you that much. You just have too much pride and you’re changing the subject. But it’s obvious you know it as well as I do: Al Davis is the worst GM in football today.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
i never said a damn thing about 2002 you idiot
June 18th, 2008 at 6:59 pm

June 18th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
MR Stalker, we didn’t need a running back. We needed a run stopper. Al Davis, the genius, has done nothing to address our atrocious run defense. It doesn’t matter that McFadden played well against LSU. Dorsey is just one lineman on that team, goofball. What matters is that Dorsey is solid and we need a run stopper like him. But like most Davis loving retards, you really think that we’re going to score enough points on offense to where we won’t need to stop the run. Our offense right now is good for about 17 points per game. There’s still too many holes. Which is sad…considering Al’s had a half a decade to build a team since Gruden left. But that’s just the problem, Al doesn’t know how to build a team. He never did.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Al made mistakes and so what? God made a mistakes and put a woman inside a man’s body……hell no one is perfect

June 18th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Dorsey is a freaking under tackle not a nost tackle………MRS you are not smart at all
June 18th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Brien, still making excuses? Al Davis’s record over the past 5 years is 19-61. As I understand it, that’s the worst record over a 5 year period in modern NFL history. He sucks, Brien. I know you admire him like he’s your favorite pro wrestler. Heck, I think he’s a cool guy, too. Get a kick out of his wannabe mafioso style. But he has no clue how to build a football team.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:05 pm

June 18th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Kiff is an idiot. Shut down Javon till the end of the preseason. Let him heel from everything; knee, face, emotions. If anything all he’ll be is a distraction.
Let him comeback at the end of the preseason. It will be a feelg ood story for everyone. ABC will soak it up on MNF.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Brien, I never said Dorsey was a nose tackle. You’re down to putting words into people’s mouths, huh? I don’t blame you. Your defense of Al Davis is a joke. You need some kind of strategy.

MR you’re truly stupid. Now you’re not only advocating positions over talent in the draft(that’s when you start screwing up your draft picks) yet you’re stating it doesn’t matter that McFadden rushed for over 200 yards against NCAA’s toughest run defense. LOL! Yes, that means NOTHING! You’re also stating that Dorsey was just ONE lineman. Well, if he can’t have an impact like DMC can, why would we take him? Plus, you also state Dorsey is ’solid’. Guess what MR Al Davis-envy, you don’t WASTE a #4 pick on a ’solid’ player…BTW I’m betting you never wathced Dorsey play, especially that Arkansas game…And keep avoiding the Dakota bet if you want, I’ll never forget it punk!

“– During one team session, Russell saw an opening and ran up the middle up the middle for a 12-yard gain, prompting an exasperated Keith Millard to chastize his defensive linemen.
“C’mon, guys,” Milllard urged.”

Brien, I know that Dorsey is an under tackle. MR has been claiming that Dorsey is the ‘run-stopper’ yet he has no FOOTBALL-RELATED answers as to why DMC lit up the LSU defense…According to MR, the Browns were in the right to take Gerrard Warren over Tomlinson.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Al allowed people room to win but norv had zero spine……callhan was just a lame ass coach and shell was bad decision but the team lacked talent seriously……they dont now and its all because of al davis

June 18th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Brien, cranking the excuse machine from 7 to 8 now, I see? The buck stops at Al Davis. 19-61 over the past 5 years. Even Matt Millen isn’t that bad. Savor that.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
flaking on bets show what kind a sucker you are………id like to slap you in oakland this year and i will bet on that
June 18th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Bill Callahan has absolutely zero control when he was here. I’d be more inclined to blame Tressman, who was merely doing what Al wanted. He ditched the run and aired it out. Worked, unless we had to play a defense that could stop the pass.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
matt millen has? how many playoff games they won? division titles?super bowls? exactly
June 18th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Brien, I understand your violent nature. You have a lot of pride in Al Davis, yet his team gets smacked around on the field year after year. Makes you want to take it out on other people. I get it. It must suck to have so much pride in an 80 year old owner who’s lost his mind.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
callahan is a loser and players wanted to beat his ass
June 18th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Brien, in the past 5 years, Al Davis is the worst. Even Millen isn’t as bad as him. That’s a fact. Why are you in such denial of the fact that Al Davis sucks, Brien?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
first off you keep mentioning those 5 years it was payback for getting rice and garner…………i believe in karma and al has now shook it off by getting the best two players in college the last two years
June 18th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Did Callahan hire himself, Brien?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

no overstand my violent nature MRS and come and see me sept 8th
June 18th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
LOL! Karma’s going to make the Raiders better? Brien, you do realize what’s happening to Al right now is probably his bad karma catching up to him. And, it’s still going. Think Javon..
June 18th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
mr ok big fahqin deal with 5 years already. think about the first 43 years of the raiders big al gave us fahqin moron!
they include 3 superbowl wins.
im mean, hey, you cant win’em all

Elliot Spitzer is laying MRS everynight til she leaks over her undies
June 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Now you’re mad at Marc Trestman who was OC of the #1 rated offense in 2002…Hey MR have you figured out that Al Davis owns the raiders and there’s NOTHING you can do about it(thank Al Davis)
June 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Brien, I get it. You take a lot of pride in Al, Al sucks, and you want to fight others because of it. It makes sense. You just need a hug. You also need to read up on Al Davis. A lot of books are out by people who’ve worked for him. Some exaggerate, but you can connect the dots and see what he’s all about. He is a fraud. And he never built a football team. If you fact that fact, you won’t be as angry and want to fight everyone.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
javon was being stupid thats why he got his ass beat we already addressed that. nothing to do with al davis. Karma is the reason we lost to the pats and lost the bowl and had the hangover afterwards………Al paid for his demons and he deserved it getting those 49ers were our doom
June 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
MR Stalker, #1 offense in 2002? Tell that to Tampa…
June 18th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
MoRon what did you do in a past life to deserve such a bad life?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
first off al davis wanted to start from scratch after the super bowl and get rid of everyone but was convinced by others not to…………then he wanted roy williams or fitz but norv wanted gallery………al isnt the tyrant you paint him to be
June 18th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
the past 5 years is all you have.
you’ve mentioned that in your last 15 annoying comments
June 18th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
MR Stalker, I know Al Davis owns the Raiders and I know there’s nothing any of us can do about it. It’s the reason we’ve been in last place for the past 5 years and will continue to be until he retires or croaks.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
2002= number 1 offense? lol that team had zero speed i knew they were gonna lose that game anyone with sense knew that
June 18th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Agreed, Brien, he wanted to start from scratch. But no GM/owner worth a damn needs 5 seasons! Any GM who can’t get something cracking in 3 years is out on the street. Unless, of course, he owns the team. Then you’re really in deep s’t. Welcome to Raiderville.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
id rather lose that super bowl than win with 49er ass rice……the most high is sure a generous guy
June 18th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Actually MR, I’ve read several books on Al Davis(including Madden’s and Flores), they don’t back up what you’re saying at all.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
the owner can do what the fugg he wants with his team dumb ass……….i never said al didnt mess up cuz he has but il take him over the other owners anyday
June 18th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Last place, Brien, 5 years straight.
I think you’re delusional, and somehow convincing yourself that there’s a 10-6 season somewheres in those last 5 years. There’s not.
4-12
5-11
4-12
2-14

Yeah Madden avoids Al Davis, yet who presented Madden at the HOF? That same guy he avoids. When Art Shell was re-hired, Madden was there at the press conference to congratulate & encourage him. But hey MR, Madden ‘avoids’ the Raiders…another MR claim easily debunked.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Madden praises Davis. I’ll give you guys that. Hey, Davis gave him a job. Davis isn’t all bad. In fact, in the ’70s, he was great and his record showed it. It’s because he hired the right people and let them do their job. My how times have changed. But that being said, Madden rarely has anything good to say about the Raiders, the football team. And, since Al Davis IS the Raiders…go figure.

Formalities, MR Stalker.
MR Stalker, when is the last time you’ve heard Madden say anything good about the Raiders..the football team? Madden talks about football teams, ALL the time. Once a week on his radio appearance. All he talks about. He talks about teams. Whenever he’s asked about the Raiders, it’s never good. He’s always harsh. Why do you think that is?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
MR chokes on jizm just about every night. And then he leans his head waaay back and yells “Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh Boyyyyyyeeeeeeeee!”
MR is a joke, don’t believe the hype.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Brien, whatever. But we’re agreed, Al Davis is awful, right? He has no clue what he’s doing? We’re finally agreed?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
MRS the fu-king Raiders arent a good team right now what is he suppose to say?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
al is great
June 18th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
MR -
John Madden did nothing but praise the Raiders organization up and down at his HOF ceremony 3 years ago, after Al Davis did his induction speech. He also accepted his HOF ring in the Oakland Coliseum with Al Davis by his side.
These people are right bro, you are a complete moron.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Brien, say that again, #218, a little louder, so all of the kool aid drinkers in here, who think we’ve got a real shot at 10-6 this year, can hear you….

–
My guess is, he said good things during the 2002 season, since that’s the last winning team we had. Probably, Madden doesn’t say great things about the team because we have played bad football and he’s trying to be an unbiased media person instead of biased moron like your fellow chode-muncher Tom Jackson…You keep claiming Madden thinks Al is a joke, yet he’s NEVER once said anything negative about him.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
MR you are a tool. Even when the Raiders go 10-6 you will find someway to make it a bad thing. Choke on it B*TCH!
June 18th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Oakglenn, Madden praised the Raiders teams he coached. Madden shredded the cockamie 2006 team that very same weekend vs. the Eagles. All game long. Repeatedly said that he just didn’t get what they were doing. He did that during the Super Bowl too. Said that the Raiders just don’t get it. It’s the Super Bowl, and they don’t seem to understand it. Oakglenn, Al Davis IS the Raiders. Do you not think that’s a shot across the bow at him? Are you that incredibly naive?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
we will make atleast 10-6
bet on it, AND thats laughing last.
IN 2008 RAIDER NATION HAS THE LAST LAUGH!
June 18th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
based off the 2007 season the raiders arent a good team right now but…………they will be at least a 10-6 team at the conclusion of the regular season
June 18th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
MR
You are outnumbered dumby. Everyone here thinks AL IS GOD and they also think that you are the biggest fool on the planet. And they are 100% correct.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
MR Stalker, Brien said the Raiders suck right now, and that’s why Madden doesn’t praise them. You agree?
Heck, Madden hasn’t praised us in years. He used to praise us when Gru first came here, and when we started to win. Once Al started playing games with Gruden, John hasn’t said much positive about the Raiders team since, even when they were winning in ‘02. He saw the trainwreck coming. He appreciates what Al did for him, but he’s no kool aid drinking idiot, like you, MR Stalker.
MR Stalker, you’re Ro34, aren’t you? Did you ever get promoted at Raiders HQ, or are you still wiping Al down?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
alex smith is a bust!! get busted on nightly in santa clara
June 18th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Why won’t Madden say so, Brien? Has Madden been asked about this Raiders team, yet? I would love for one of us to get on the air when madden makes a radio appearance and ask him what he thinks of our prospects of going 10-6. Bet you his first response is laughter.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I just got here, looks like MoRon has been having some fun as usual. Guess what MoRon I honestly just got here, ALL of these people hate you too.
Finally this blog is catching up with what I have known for a long time. You and Sistaclown are the 2 biggest idiots on this blog. Neither one of you know how football even works. Learn a little something about a subject that you pretend to know something about.

Oakglenn, you feeling better? You were losing it under your “Kill MR” handle.
So, Oakie, you changing your mind about Javon? Still using him as an example as to how Al is still amongst the great GM’s of the game?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:53 pm

June 18th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Again MR, I don’t expect Madden to heap praise on a team that isn’t winning. How does that translate into him thinking Al is a moron? You want to read between the lines yet you don’t read direct quotes from those involved do you?
I don’t recall his comments from the 2002 season(as I’m sure you don’t either), but I sincerely doubt he didn’t praise a superbowl participant during the season.
Sorry, not Ro34 and I don’t work at Raiders HQ.
June 18th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
sorry MoRon, wasn’t me. Sucks to be you, chasing shadows calling every movement you see Oakglenn.

Oakglenn, we’re well beyond knowing it was you. You’ve been here all afternoon, kiddo. Your stench is unmistakable, no matter what your handle.
Oakglenn, how’s the Javon Walker thing going? Remember when Al signed him? Remember how you used his acquisition to make the case that Al Davis still had his fastball? How’s that going?
June 18th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
why would we have fargas on 4th down in a two minute drill when you have two sure handed running backs, michael bush and mcfadden. that may be fargas’ last time on the field in a passing situation.

But MRS swallows not a drop left
June 18th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Oakglenn, are you finally starting to figure out why Denver didn’t want Walker? Are you finally starting to question why Al Davis didn’t investigate a little further into that before signing him? Is it sinking in with you that Al Davis has lost it?
June 18th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
I honestly just got here and as much as I would like to take credit for the golden shower thing, it wasn’t me. Very funny, but not me. Thats ok though, let delusional MoRon continue to chase every shadow and call them Oakglenn.
I do find it very humorous that so many people hate the guy yet he always assumes it is me. Just like Mistaclown. Hmmm maybe I’m onto something here. I am finding striking similarities between Sistaclown and MoRon. Are they one in the same? You decide…
June 18th, 2008 at 8:00 pm

MoRon is a very small minded person that resides in his mother’s basement. He probably has pictures of me all over his room. If you haven’t noticed yet he is obsessed with me and thinks everybody is me. It was funny now it’s just sad.

be flying on top of the world. We’ll be slamming Shanarat and his donkeys, we’ll be feeling awesome, knowing that we’re going to be going into the bye week with (4) wins and zero losses. We will not be fearing the dischargers when they come to play us in “our house” on 8/28/08, and rightly so, as we’ll knock their socks off and take command of first place in our division.
Enjoy your summer guys, it won’t be long. How long? Not long. In the mean time, make sure the beer is cold, the food is on the bar-bie and that you’re among friends.

Oakglenn, Javon Walker.
Remember him?
Remember how excited you were when we signed him?
Remember how you propped his signing as some sort of example that Al Davis is still as sharp as a whip?
Really….
Are you starting to wonder now if incidents like what happened in Vegas are the reason the Denver Broncos offered Walker absolutely nothing?
Are you starting to wonder that maybe Al Davis balked for not further investigating his background?
Are you wondering if maybe Al Davis didn’t even care about his background, and really thought that the Raider mystique would cure him?
Is it starting to sink in with you just how moronic Al Davis is, anymore?
Get back to me.
June 18th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Riverside Raider, we’re going to beat Denver? You mean on a video game? Like Madden ‘09? On the rookie level?
We can’t stop the run.
J Russell is green. He had one good outing, and only when SD called off their dogs. Denver is going to throw the kitchen sink at him. What do you think, they’re going to just play man defense and not blitz him, as if they’re defense is ran by Rob Ryan?
Riverside, your optimism for our game against Denver is akin to the optimism you had for the Lakers. That’s not a good sign, either.
June 18th, 2008 at 9:46 pm

I believe Al davis is the greatest figure in football.
MR here is a direct quote from me, it’s in my book
“WE TRADED HIM TO THE REDSKINS(JIM LACHEY) FOR JAY SCHROEDER..TALK ABOUT REALLY DUMB MOVES. AND I WAS THE GUY WHO LED THE CHARGE ON THAT ONE. I DON’T THINK AL WILL LET ANOTHER LEFT TACKLE LIKE HIM GET AWAY.”
The quote can be found on http://www.thinkexist.com/ron wolf.
I have one more quote, to why Al selected Gallery,
“I CAN”T IMAGINE AL LETTING GALLERY GO BY.”
My book is very detailed and Al Davis is a huge part of my success.
Good luck Raider fans in 2008.

June 18th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Hello, MR, how ya been … remember me (alias “Selim Sivad”)? Yes, we can’t stop the run, because for some obscure reason we choose not to try. Russell will likely have some trouble at first, and I really don’t think our own rushing attack will generate 4000 yards rushing like some of these guys seem to believe. Of course. I don’t blame you for chuckling at these opening day predictions like 41-9, 34-7, etc. It gets to me too, we’re still in quite a hole, and these guys don’t seem to know it.
But we’re at home opening day, Denver is backsliding, and I don’t think Shanahan has as much going for him as he used to, he’s out of ideas and still milking his Super bowl victories, genius my ass. And maybe McFadden will surprise ‘em. Don’t get so bitter, man, we’re at least in with a shot. Wait and see. Cheer anyway.
June 18th, 2008 at 10:24 pm

It’s hard to believe, I know, but I still cheer. Old habit. Can’t stop. We’ll have a better idea about Kiffin after a few games. I certainly agree with you that Lofton was hired to put a little pressure on. Don’t think Davis himself knows how far we’ve sunk.
June 18th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Hmmm, Shanahan out of ideas and milking past victories? I just realized the implications of what I just wrote. He’s becoming Al Davis! Therefore, opening day tie. Onward and upward. Sorry about that, Chief, missed it by that much.

“Don’t think Davis himself knows how far we’ve sunk.”
…..
That’s a good point.
I’ve always figured that Davis is at least smart enough to know what he’s doing. Figured he’s just a business man with a goofy idea about the NFL, all the vertical game nonsense. But when you think about it, could it be that he’s just as much in denial as some of these kool aid drinkers in here are? Maybe he really doesn’t know he’s 19-61 over the past 5 years. And, not to be tacky…but age issues adding sort of a natural dementia to it? My god…Scary. And this guy’s got longevity in his genes. He could be in charge of the Raiders for a long time. If he goes another 5 years like the last 5 years, though, the league will probably disband the Raiders.

used to be it was worth going through the bs to get to the posts that were raiders/football related. hasnt been true for awhile & is getting worse.
while there isnt much ‘meat’ to todays blog, there was enough content for some discussion. think maybe 2-3 peeps made an attempt to comment on it. the rest is just inane rhetoric and worse.
please make this a register for use blog. it is almost beyond saving now… unless post count is all that matters…

In defense of Al Davis.
Yes, the Raiders have been horrendous the past 5 years.
Yes, most of the blame can be placed on Mr. Davis for some very questionable drafting and coaching selections.
On the other hand, Mr Davis’ track record throughout the decades when it comes to building championship caliber teams simply can not be denied.
Based on the Raider’s abysmal performance over the past 5 seasons it is legitimate to question whether the game has passed Mr. Davis by and if his football acumen has deserted him.
I, for one, do not believe the game has passed Al by.
The only way this will be proven is by a return to glory for Mr. Davis’ Raiders.
I think the Raiders are on the right track to rebuild the franchise.
There’s alot of moves the Raiders have made that I’m not in love with.
I don’t like Kiffin all that much, but the jury is still out on him.
I think the Raiders overpaid for Walker and Kelly.
On the other hand, I liked the trade for Hall, drafting Jamarcus and McFadden, and signing Wilson.
I think Thomas Howard was a great selection.
My greatest concern for the upcoming season is the offensive line. I’m very unhappy with the apparent lack of improvement to this unit.
Overall, I think this team is on the way up.
Either way, I’m convinced of one thing. Mr. Davis is firmly committed to hoisting the Lombardi Trophy once again.
In this ‘what have you done for me lately ?’ world, it’s all too easy to forget all the great teams and moments Mr. Davis was responsible for bringing us.
I’m not prepared to throw Mr. Davis under the bus, and I don’t think any other true Raider fan should be either. We owe him that much.
I’m rooting for Mr. Davis to prove all the naysayers wrong, and the Silver and Black to return to glory.

Considering the nature of his reported eyesocket injuries, that was a huge concern. The Raiders doctors are taking a look at Walker this week, so we may get a clearer prognosis from the team. But he’s expected to ready for camp at this point. Jun. 19 - 9:59 a.m. ET”—

I think its all goood, since no news is good news… he’ll be fine, when camp is over we will hear much more, he’ll get a 50+ catches this season, no doubt about that…
June 19th, 2008 at 7:16 am

I would hope that he is building chemistry with JR. He is a sure catch, if you can get the ball to him. Last year they did not utilize him enough in the pass game, until late in the season. They need to get him going.

June 19th, 2008 at 7:42 am
I wonder why the Raiders decided to make Weds OTA open to the public instead of the originally schedule Thurs. Only reason I could think of is that Walker is going to be coming back on Thurs, and the Raiders didnt want any media members on hand to ask him questions.
I see that as good news, that at least Walkers going to be coming back. As long as none of the Raiders pull a Romo and punch his other eye socket out he should be fine. kinda disappointed in Walker, was hoping he could step in and be a leader on this young team, but looks like Currys gonna have to step up for that veteran role.
June 19th, 2008 at 7:52 am

June 19th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Kif was saying that they are grown men and they are not going to babysit. They are old enough to know right from wrong. But no matter how old you get, having a mentor is necessary. You need someone to keep you grounded and out of trouble. Someone to beat you in the head with lectures. I know it helps me. I am 29 and I fall off track sometime. They need a role model out there. I miss Jerry Rice, once he left the recievers have been trouble for the Raiders ever since. Attitudes problems. Maybe Loften can get them in line.

this would be a typical Al Davis steal…. well its not like we need a RB now, but after the 2004 we did…
Of course he needs to get a shot, if he is good enough, and he behaves accordingly, I see no problem… its Pathetic if its because of his faith and his fathers possible wrong doings… he isn’t even judged… its sad..

Regarding Javon’s injury. I’m sorry, I wish I divulge where I got this info, but I can’t. What I’ve heard is from a very reliable source in Vegas. I hear that the injury may be much worse than the Raiders are claiming, As in, he came close to losing his eye. Again, I can’t divulge my source. And, I don’t blame anyone for taking this with a grain of salt, but that’s what I hear.

June 19th, 2008 at 9:55 am
If we can get an above average year out of him it would be an improvement. Still haven’t figured out why he can’t kick off the infield yet other teams come in who have never kicked off it and don’t seem too affected
June 19th, 2008 at 9:57 am
Seabass has only been in the NFL for 8 seasons…his best is yet to come, lol.
Seriously though, what are you going to replace him with? Remember the years leading up to Seabass? Our kickers had no chance…none, nada, zip…at least when Seabass kicks we have a 76% chance that he will make it.
Here are some Raider kicker stats:
Kicker——FGA—–FG%
Janikowski—233——76.8%
Jaeger——-204——74.5%
Cole Ford—–62——72.6%
Chris Bahr—249——65.1%
Blanda——-249——62.7%
Kicker——XPA——XP%
Janikowski—273——-99.3%
Mike Mercer-119——-99.2%
Blanda——-403——-98.0%
Jaeger——-216——-97.7%
Ford———89——–96.6%
Clutch kicking might be another story, but I can’t find the stats on clutch kicking…my gut says Bahr and Jaeger were more clutch than Jano, but I still say…who can we get that is better right now?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Yeah but nobody could do a drive-by like Cole Ford!! Man your states makes it look like the Raiders haven’t had a good kicker ever. Isn’t a 76% accuracy rate below the league average?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Can’t say I’ve kept track of his stats over the years, but has he ever had an slightly average year with the Raiders?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Seabass needs to stop drinking the guiness before and during the game so that he can see the damn uprights!!!! hes got the distance no problem there but his accuracy is just horrible…..stop drinking seabass!!!!!
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!
June 19th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Janikowski has made 53 out of 64 field goals attempted in the 4th quarter for his career.
Amazing isn´t it?.
I doubt there´s a more accurate fourth quarter kicker since he became a pro and I won´t look it up, but even if there is, Jano´s numbers are outstanding in the 4th.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Yes Dakota, I clearly remember. There is nothing better out there right now. That’s why I said it would be nice if our O could find ways not to hinge the game on his kicking skills. It’s sad to have to pray as he is lining up, cross my fingers, toes and tell my friends to do the same everytime.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Vegas,
In 2007 of all the kickers that attempted 10 FGs or more, only 3 kickers did worse than Seabass’ 72% FG%, however, Seabass’ average FG attempt was from 42.7 yards…the majority of other kicker’s attempts came from an average distance of about 35-36 yards…so you have to account for the long FG attempts that the Raiders ask Seabass to attempt, that other teams avoid with their kickers.
The rub comes because Seabass was supposed to be dead on even from longer distances, and he has simply failed in that area…but between 30 and 40 yards, Seabass ranks right up there.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:10 am
BM, I am sure its safe to assume that a nice change of those missed 11 were game winning kicks that he folded under? I know his stats are ok, but when it counts he folds.
Also, a lot of the games he have lost during his time have not been blow outs. If the whloe game was played in the 4th, then his stats would matter. A lot of those misses in the first 3 qs would have been enough for the win or overtime.
Look at the game vs th donkeys. He missed a kick or two (dont have stats in front of me) kicks in the first quarters and we lost by 3 point in overtime.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:10 am
I think he is perfect in the postseason too. However, Marley, I am sure there is someone who has kicked above 82% in the fourth quarter in the last 8 years.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Clean Up,
Yeah, in 01, 03 and 04 he had % between 82% and 89%…but in those three years he attempted only 7 FGs of 50+ yards. In 05, 06 and 07 his FG % ranged between 66% and 72%, but he had to attempt 21 FGs from 50 + yards!
So I think you nailed it on the head…our offense over the past three seasons has a ton to do with Seabass’ bad FG%.
Things will be different this season…McFadden and Bush will keep drives alive and Seabass will not have to attempt as many 50+ yard FGs.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Dakota, just went to NFL.com and Seabass was 31st in the league last year, and only 3 of the people above him kicked less than 15 times, don’t know what stats you were looking at.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:18 am

don’t compare him to former raiders kicker, you need to compare him to the 10 best..

June 19th, 2008 at 10:20 am
When you are losing a blowout you often stop kicking FG´s in the 4th, so while it´s safe to assume some of his 4th quarter kicks have been rather meaningless I would think those are in the minority.
He´s not the best, but he´s not someone I worry about, the fact is he makes them in the 4th.
As for the long distance issue Dakota mentioned, last year he made 6 of 11, thats over 50% and includes 58 and 64 yard missed attempts.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:22 am
06′ he was 28th, and 05′ he was 25th. He is arguably the worst kicker in the league. Understand that he tries a lot of long field goals, but when you miss them you give up great field position.

Why? I am not stating that he is one of the best kickers in the NFL, I am just saying that he is not THAT bad and that a guy we pick up off the street is not going to do as well as Seabass.
I am all for drafting a kicker in the NFL draft next season and giving him some competition.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Dakota, that table showed he is at the bottom didn’t it? I’m not savy enough to post links apparently, but nfl.com clearly shows that he is consistently year in and year out, near the bottom on a percentage basis. Plus he was a first-round pick, while just about everyone else above him were undrafted free-agents or late round picks.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Milicia
Just for fun…Vinatieri is 47 of 56 in the 4th quarter over the same period, thats about the same as Jano. I should note that these are regular season numbers and that Vinatieri is the best clutch kicker ever and much better than Jano.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Good talk fellas’, got to get to work, and try to make some money.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Vegas,
You are missing the point. I agree, Seabass has been a disappointment as to his performance given his high draft position and high expectations placed on him, but for what he has been asked to do (21 FG attempts of 50+ in the last three seasons) he is doing okay and right now he is the LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS.
What, would you rather go with some kicker off the street and hope for the best or stick with a guy that is good between 20-40 yards and gives us a chance from 50+ and even 60+?
I’ll stick with the known kicker and hope we can address the kicker position via the draft if Seabass flops next season.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I do agree that his early game misses are maddening and he needs to improve his focus on those, we can´t afford to be giving points and field position, no one can nowadays.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Seabass is garbage. Throw the stats out the window. He makes meaningless kicks, when the game is on the line he is a mess.
Jano cost us 2 games last year, name another player or even a kicker that cost his team a win on 1 single play twice!
June 19th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Remember last year when the team decided to “save him” for the regular season so he didn´t kick in training camp and pre-season?.
Well, he started 1 for 5 the first 2 games and that was a part of our 0-2 start, he only missed 4 the rest of the way, including that 64 yarder of the post.
Hopefuly we change that approach this year and he´s ready on week 1.

yeah, alright, he is bad in 4th but gets it home in OT…
But Jani isn’t good. when it counts he is bad… this is a pure claim… but most of those missed 4th Q kicks I bet they were in tight games, meaning missed gamewinning kicks… and those he hit came in games where we were way behind or way in front…
Morten Andersen, (I believe) has most game winning kicks.. I cant wait till Jani is cut, but I know he is the new Whitted or Brayton… :/

Rob Ryans defense folds up like a lawn chair and the other team scores to end the game. That stat you provided is “MEANINGLESS” as Jano himself.

I hear you, but I think we get carried away a bit with Jano..that´s the life of a kicker I guess, we just remember the misses.
Oh and he was 3 for 3 vs Tenn, including 50 and 54 yarders, I´d say he actually kept us in that game.

Quagmire…
yeah, I like them a lot, the way they play is the same style Denmark uses, but right now DK isn’t good enough to play that style :/
Holland, plays a style called ‘TotalFootball’ which means you need intelligent and creative players.. its a mix of the loose creative Spanish Soccer and cool controlling German Soccer…
if i could choose it would be Portugal, Croatia, Holland and Spain who goes on to the semis… lovely football…
The Italians doesn’t deserve it. The Russians are young, but could surprise, the same goes for Turkey. Lastly the Germans, if country who knows to win finals its the Germans.. but then again the Italians boring game could get them through too…
Winners of it all, I hope it goes like this Holland, Spain, Croatia and Portugal…

Yeah good points on sebass guys, o think we should bring in someone to compete with sebass because as brought out earlier there were many games where we really needed this guy to bang in a 3 to tie or win the game and he folded. He must realize that missed fg’s are huge momentum swingers I can recall games where we were up and a fg would put the game out of reach but he’ll miss and the opposing team come up witha drive and either score a td or bang a fg for the win. We can’t afford to loose games like that this year………..not acceptable

June 19th, 2008 at 11:13 am
all four in 1/4 finals games are great…
Tonight… The Germans D is vulnerable and the Portuguese are fast really exciting, starts in 30 minutes…
Friday… Croatia, has the easy one against the Turks…
Saturday… Holland against Russia, Holland is clearly favorites, but the Russians are coached by one of the best coaches in the world, the Dutch Guus Hiddink. He has Coached South Korea, Australia and Holland of course before… I recommend the US to hire him!
Sunday… Another killer final, Spain against Italy… I think Spain will win, but if Italy gets ahead they will win, it all comes down to who scores first..
June 19th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Look at those two posts referred to in post 51, haha thats easily MR posting his rants.

June 19th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Q…
it all comes down to which style the teams play…
Italy is very defensive, but still creative…
Spain is very creative and aggressive
Germany is controlling and physical
and so on, its of course according wo who the play against, and its a generalizations but still true…
June 19th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Italia vs. Spain, what a game that will be, I say Italia wins 2 to 1.

My shot at the winners…
Portugal
Croatia
Holland
Spain
That would be great, I just want to see great soccer, and these 4 teams are at the time the best ambassadors for that…
June 19th, 2008 at 11:21 am

thats just plain stupid to say, that means you either haven’t seen it and just say you did, or the things you think you saw were soccer but isn’t like real soccer…
it takes at least 2-3 seasons of soccer before you understand the formations, and styles… you need to watch National games, to understand the differences in soccer culture - on and off the field. You need to follow the Uefa Cup and the Champions league… 3 years later you understand parts of the game that gives your statements validation…

What’s up my Nation brothers and sisters.
More specifically I would like to say hello to Dakota, LMN, Oakglenn (if you are still around), Raider Dell (if you are still around), Bob Marley, Mistabrown and a few others, you know who you are.
Dakota -
Sorry about your boys. Can’t win ‘em all I guess. Try being a Warriors fan for a few years and then talk to me about losing. I don’t even remember what it feels like to have my team in the Finals and I only have one playoff appearance in the last 13 years. For the Lakers I don’t think Gasol is the answer, here’s hoping your boy Bynum will be a beast.
Raiders baby! Javon is going to be fine, unless Goodell decides to suspend him for disorderly conduct under the Zero Tolerance Policy, although I can’t see how getting the crap beat out of you by Floyd Mayweather qualifies as disorderly conduct. Hopefully the young guys can learn a thing or two from Javon’s mistakes.
Have a good day Nation.

I have no problems with Italy, their style is just depressing to watch… they were like spain, but eversince a plane crash in the 50’s, where most of their team died, they have played defensively… it has becoem their way of thinking soccer…
and their D is bad, right now, Zambrotta is nothing without Canavaro. period. they need leaders…
Italy, if they get ahead, they win, if they are behind they start act like kids, but thats just the way they are…
Look at the best teams in the world, most have an Italian in their back D line..
Furthermore they are old, but that means they have experience and that is gold in the finals…

the game starts in 5, I like watching a game between 2 teams where i’m almost unbiased… that is if I can look aside the history things, LOL, well lets see how the games go…
Sometiems I start rooting for one team, but when the game is about to be done I’m rooting for the other, weird stuff, and it has nothing to do with who wins or who is ahead, its about the game…
I guess like first time I watched a game between Jax and Texans…

I have been extremely busy with work and family stuff, but I plan on making appearances more frequently when time permits. The trolls never ran me out, it was more like life ran me out, ya know? Either way it’s good to be back and I will pop in as much as I can. We need to bring this place back to prominence. I don’t even bother reading posts unless it is from the select few people that I know from the “good old days”. It’s funny how serious some people take their sports, including me. After what I have been through these last few months, my perspective has changed greatly. I loooove my Raiders, A’s and Warriors but when it comes down to it, sports are just entertainment. At least until my son is old enough to play ball, then all bets are off!

Same goes with the Italians, they shouldn’t be undersetimated too, but the reason why the got through to the 1/4finals is because Mutu missed a penalty kick… not because they won over a mediocre France…
btw, score is now 0-2…
June 19th, 2008 at 12:12 pm

June 19th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Jerry, what, Keith Millard is actually surprised Russell blew right by his line? Has he watched any game film of the Raiders D line in recent years? And, he should also be thrilled to know that the same line was given a hefty raise this off season. You can’t help but to wonder that when Millard yelled, “come on, guys,”, he really meant, “Come on, Al”. Oh, but wait…. it was Kiffin who wanted to give Kelly a raise, right? LOL
I agree, Jerry, Tui should do better in an actual modern day offense then what he was expected to do in the leather helmet offense that Norv and Art Shell were running at Al Davis’s insistence.

June 19th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
“…The Raiders actually made a lot of strides in 2007. The coaching staff and players got along much better than they did in 2006. That is why it is surprising that Al Davis would be fighting with his young coach, Lane Kiffin after his first year on the job. While Al Davis is a hard owner to predict, there is no way that a reasonable owner would have expected more than 4-6 wins with the mess Kiffin took over….
… Darren McFadden appears to be the real deal. He has everything you could ask for. Speed, strength, and a good running style. Don’t expect him to have the year Peterson had in 2007, simply because the Oakland line is nowhere near the Minnesota line….
… The Raiders tried to upgrade the receiving core by signing Javon Walker to a $55 million dollar contract. That was the theme of the Raider offseason, Just Spend Baby!!! I think Walker will upgrade the receiving core, but remember he has had 2 knee injuries since 2005, plus the Williams incident in Denver and the new Las Vegas incident where he sustained serious injuries in a robbery. Plus, I have read reports that he didn’t show up in the best of shape to Raider workouts in May, something that was a disappointment given the money Oakland threw his way…
…The Raiders success on pass defense is somewhat of a mirage. Yes they have some good talent there. But when your team gives up the second most rushing yards in the NFL, the most yards per attempt, and the most rushing touchdowns teams aren’t going to waste their time throwing the ball. Keep in mind that teams passed the ball the second fewest times against Oakland. Even a team like Green Bay that relied heavily on the pass was able to basically rest Favre coming off an injury against the Cowboys when they played the Raiders. Favre threw the ball just 23 times in a 38-7 victory as Ryan Grant gashed them for a regular season high 29 carries and 156 yards.
If the Raiders are going to compete in this division with LT, Denver’s running system, and Larry Johnson they have to be able to stop the run. They signed Thomas Kelly to a record contract for a defensive lineman, something that was boggling to the mind. Warren Sapp is gone from the fold this year. He was clearly on the downside of his career. Still, the Raiders really didn’t address the defensive line, which is the most important part of the run defense.
On offense, the passing game is going to really struggle at times this year. Russell had only 66 attempts in 2007, so he is going to be learning on the job. I’ve already talked about Walker’s question marks. After him and Curry there isn’t a lot of proven talent at the receiving core. Zach Miller is a young emerging tight end. The first year of starting for a quarterback is always a difficult chore. With a below average receiving I expect Russell to show signs of greatness, but also struggle quite a bit.
Prediction: Things are getting better for Oakland. They are getting a young nucleus of players on offense and are starting to bring some talent in on defense. The Raiders and Jets were the most active teams in free agency and fans are going to be excited that a winning season is near.
They still have a few problems. San Diego has a young nucleus in place and is not ready to surrender the division to Oakland. Denver also has a young nucleus on offense and while they have their own troubles on defense they have better receivers, offensive line, and secondary. It is going to be hard for the Raiders to break through that in 2008.”

your right… in general, lately the germans have given us a wooping when it comes to war.. we won in 1848, but lost in 1864… the loss in 1864 was due to the terror attack of 1807 where we lost almost our entire navy, at that time the 2nd-3rd largest even if we were neutral…
As of today, we kick the germans ass, their unemployment is around 10% and ours is below 1.5% our economy is healthy so are our people… It sucks to be German today =) they had a great run in the late 30’s 70-90’s their party is over…

June 19th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Dakota,
I hope post #517 didn’t not upset you, it was an honest mistake.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Raider O…
I guess thats it… 1-3, game closed!
June 19th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Raider O,
Do you consider yourself an American, Palestinian-American, or a Palestinian.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I’m both. My parents Immigrated here back in the 60’s, but I was born overseas, but always knew i will come to live here, they wanted me to experience both cultures like they did.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Or American-Palestinian?
June 19th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Lol, no Raider O, that did not upset me in the least…
You are probably right, a lot of people in the US probably have not heard of it nor do they give a shiit about it…now that fact upsets me.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Ya, I think the game is over. Germany looks scary.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Raider O…
Lets assume Croatia wins over the Turks, so Germany-Croatia, looks like a Killer game =)
June 19th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
American-Palestinian or Palestinian-American, to me it doesn’t matter, I’m both, I love both countries the same.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Jim,
Sorry if I struck too close to home….drunk, bi-polar, wife beater maybe? Running away from your problems by taking a job a thousand miles from CT? Wife calling you about alimony and child support maybe?
Well, at least you have the Celtics, lol.
Dakota; just like your sports knowledge… you’re off again.
1. drunk.. when i drink, i do drink
2. running away from probs.. no starting over. I busted my ass to get where i am and it hits hard to pay what i paid. I came out here w/my sis to start over and help her out. i took a 82k job but i’ll get back up there!
3. No children. She wants more money. I’m not giving her more money. I sold my house when i left. She should be happy w/the settlement.
4. Gambling probs you ask? NO. i took the celtics. I enjoyed the extra $. I’m buying women’s final 4 tickets for my mom (it’s in STL) and she’s a huge UCONN fan. My dad past away last year so this will make her year. Also, purchasing raider/chief tickets. Celtics really made me happy by giving me those gifts.
5. Wife beater. No. I love women. Unfortunately, i am too soft and give in when they cry. That’s why i’m further away.. so i don’t give in any more. Plus, my rifle can’t reach from here. (last part was a joke).
6. Anything else?
Now lets talk about you. You are not a sports fan, you are a team fan. You don’t watch other teams and that’s why you can’t compare them. You only watch your team. That is what I believe, and i may be wrong, you asked me about those 5 questions. Because you know from experience only and what you read on the internet (who else has time to send dumb links as much as you), that you asked me specific problems that are going on in your life. I feel badly for you.
However, from now on please do not correspond to me. YOu are beneath me. (not literally). Have a great day.
CT RAIDER
June 19th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
LMN,
you don’t have to assume, they will win. Germany is hard to stop with this lineup, this middle line is great.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Raider fans are the dumbest fans in america and the most racist. they fight amongst themselves like, well, rats in a cage!!!
June 19th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
OK, maybe I spoke too soon. 3-2, what a game.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
2-3… bit late, good way to make the lst minutes really exciting…
June 19th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
it is too late, but Germany needs to play ell the entire game and not the just the 1st half.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
its over.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
ell = well.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Woaw! what a game!
Good that Germany advances… Makes the rest of tournament more exciting…
June 19th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
I hate when teams have a lead and try to cruise the rest of the game.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Gotta go, the wife wants to use the computer.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
MR you are going to have to find a more reputable opinion than some other thugs blog.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Jim,
Spin it any way you want…like I said, at least you have the Celtics, lol.

June 19th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
yeah laets all talk about non raider stuff in a raider blog all this convo is so good on here man I cant stay away from all this
June 19th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Quit yer biotchin and give us something to talk about then…
crybabies.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I guess you can’t answer that, huh?
Ok, anybody see any photo’s of Walkers grille
June 19th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
yo I think your doin a great job coming up wit things to talk about and aint nobody bitchin I just think its funny how people talk about non sports related things in a raider blog thats all Go CELTICS but im a warriors fan
June 19th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
KK,
I was just involved in a $4.2 million dollar ranch transaction…I guess if that is what you call free, you must have a truckload of $$.
Your comment was so ignorant it didn’t deserve a response, but now you have it.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
We could discuss Seabass some more?
June 19th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Dakota,
it must have been 10,000 acres. There’s houses here in Alameda worth twice that much.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Dakota,
You’re awfully quick with the “ignorant” shots for a sharecropper in South Dakota.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Just over 4800 acres. What is your point KK?
June 19th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
KK,
I think “sharecroppers” are currently higher on the totem pole than real estate agents, lol…what do you do again to deserve a 5% commission?
June 19th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Dakota that’s going to be a nice cap gain hit, better to do it now before Obama raises the cap gain tax here soon.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I sell Million Dollar properties in Alameda, California.
How many chickens do you have in your yard.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Vegas,
We had a stepped-up tax basis…thank god.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
1031 previously??
June 19th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Vegas,
Not quite, a 1031 only defers capital gains…the stepped-up basis came via an estate.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
KK,
I do have a chocolate lab…but no farm animals.
Glad to know you are selling homes…nice to know there are lots of Raider fans making something of themselves.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Scary times to be in or working in R/E, who’s the next one to fall: Countrywide, IndyMac, Thornburg??
June 19th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Is there a Metropolitan area in South Dakota, I’m researching median prices in your area.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
I work with a guy from Belfus, he is a huge racist hick, donkey fan.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
KK,
Ummm, I guess you could call Rapid City and Sioux Falls “metropolitan”, lol.
I wouldn’t.
KK…yes, home prices are cheaper here than in Cali…If you are smart you will sell your Cali home for 4 mill, and move to SD, build the same home for 1.5 million and retire on the balance. Check out the Black Hills area.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Or however the hell you spell-it
June 19th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Median Home Prices.
Sioux Falls South Dakota $142,000
SF, Oak, Fremont $777,000

June 19th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Vegas,
Are you talking about Belle Fourche, SD? Doesn’t surprise me…most people here in Western SD are Bronco fans…and yes, we have racists just like every other place in the US.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:13 pm

June 19th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
“KK,
I do have a chocolate lab…but no farm animals.”
is chocolate lab code for “meth lab”? You seem like the tweeker type
June 19th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Retire in South Dakota, and pick the crickets out of my Mohito’s all day? No thanks.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Yeah, no cheap shot there to South Dakota, he is a decent dude. For a donkey
June 19th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Dakota,
San Diego is expensive too, a 1200 yards sq home starts at 4500000, I’m not in R/E, but I was trying to buy a house.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Sorry 450000
June 19th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Raider O,
My 2600 sq ft home (excluding the two car garage), here in Hot Springs, cost 103K.
But I have to drive 5 hours to Denver to see a Raiders game.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I am a graphic designer I work with mainly auto dealerships for lot decor if you guys live near any major car lots with promo banners and signs I possibly designed it all
June 19th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Dakota How far are you from deadwood?..that place is great as are the black hills in general.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
…and I have to drive 1 hour to go to McDonalds…or Wal-mart…or Best Buy…
But we did once have a Kum & GO! Now it is called a Fresh Start convenience store…does anyone else see the irony there? I know Florida Pete does.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I meant to say 1200 sq ft, sorry I got confused for a min.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I live about 100 miles south of Deadwood in Hot Springs. Deadwood is in the Northern region of the Black Hills, Hot Springs is in the Southern region.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
South Dakota hasn’t voted for a Democrat in the presedential election since ‘64, and in ‘72 the Democrat nominee was FROM South Dakota
June 19th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
are there any schools close to where you live Dakota?
June 19th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
At least one state has it right
June 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Raider O?
What kind of schools? Hot Springs has a population of about 4200 plus we pull about another 1200 from area ranches and farms, so of course we have elementary, middle, and high school, and a couple of church schools.
There are Universities in Spearfish, Rapid City, Vermillion, Brookings and other colleges.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Near to where Custer was slaughterted.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Big college hockey programs out there right?
June 19th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I thought custer got whacked in montana?
June 19th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Are the schools allowed to teach evolution in Hot Springs?
June 19th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Dakota..do you go to sturgis every year?….
June 19th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Yes KK, the Little Big Horn is in the Southeast corner of Montana, which is not very far from where I live.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Yes I meant elementary, and high schools, but when I asked if they are close, I meant within a 30 mile radius.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Dumb A,
Yes, almost every year.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Has anybody seen any internet photos of Javon Walkers face since the beating?
Severe beatings can linger with a man.

June 19th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Raider O, yes they are close, right in town.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
cool…I would love to hit that up at least once..I was in SD last summer killer area (black hills)…didn’t think much of the rest of what I saw from the minn border to radid city..pretty boring.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
GOD!!! Lara Logan of CBS is a hottie

June 19th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
LOL….
I remember when I asked Dakota about Sturgis too =)
June 19th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Dumb A,
Sturgis is a great time…you better make plans in advance though…when 400 to 700 thousand bikers show up in the Black Hills, we run out of hotel rooms pretty quick.
And yes, the rest of SD is nothing but farms, and ranches…almost as bad as driving through Nebraska.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I want to finish my education in CA, and unless i can open a business or find a great job, I will move. I have one child and I want to have more, but its hard to save money in CA.

Ahlan wa sahlan, ya I’m, where you from in Palestine?
June 19th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Raider O,…why dont you open up a ranch raising camels? Thats a good biz.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
There’s nothing like Cali Equity. Get in however you can. It will always be more valuable than “the heartland”. You can alway move to the Dakotas later in life, after you’ve made your money. IMO.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
You can get FHA financing for 3% down.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Raider O,
I imagine it is hard to save $$ in Cali…but you can’t get paid in SD like you can in Cali.
2006 median family income Cali 56K, SD 42K.
I had to get a professional degree in order to remain living in Hot Springs and lead the type of lifestyle I wanted.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
I’m from Gaza bro… i live in Orange county though (Irvine). My father is from Pali and my mom is from Beirut. I’m damn proud to be from pali. where you from?
Dakota… i live in the OC
June 19th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
I know a camel jocky from palestine,…owns a donut shop where I live,..dude I dont think has ever used soap in his life,…why do all camel jockies stink?
June 19th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Alex, why do you like camels?
June 19th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Kool Kell: Just because it is more valuable doesn’t mean it will be more profitable.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:51 pm

go study some Intelligent Design books
June 19th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Raiderman 21,..damn proud?..ya youre so proud of the place you choose not to live there. Makes sense.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
No thanks malicia negro,…sounds boring.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Alex Smith…
what about all the proud Irish on the east coast.. they chose to stay in US, for several generations…
your logic doesn’t compute..
June 19th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Alex, are you really that lonely at home? you despereatly go on blogs and start sh*t so you can get the attention you never got in your life? what a pure loser…
June 19th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Raiderman 21,
I’m from a small town named Arara, near Haifa.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
ya i think i have heard of that town.
Alex,
mix in a playboy subscription in your life, or order a mail order bride, you dont have to spend the rest of your life begging for attention on here. that will keep you entertained
June 19th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
You won’t get the appreciation rates in the heartland, as you will on the coasts. There’s always more demand for sunshine and sea breezes.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
If you can afford the high-end properties than absolutely Kool Kell. If your faking it and buying a condo in Stockton, well good luck
June 19th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
All Irish people are drunks,..they are on the east coast, but so drunk all the time, they think theyre in Ireland. Idiots.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
If I were from Palestine, I sure would’nt say so on the Internet while George W Bush is in charge.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
If I were Palestinian, I would be damn proud too. I know what they been through, just the last 40 years…

… btw they all live here in DK now of various reasons
June 19th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I’ve been to Holland Amsterdam, but never DK. I love the Dutch.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
LMN,
No offense to Raider O and Raiderman 21, but as to Israe1, who was there first (Israe1ite Kingdoms occupied the area as far back as 11000 BCE) and who has won the most recent wars to maintain control of the region? That is right…
They lost…quit feeling sorry for them…
June 19th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Raiderman 21,
don’t get upset bro, some people have class and some don’t. its the same all over the world, some are educated and some are not. Don’t let it bother you man.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:24 pm

June 19th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Dakota,
none taken. But a little correction since you want to go back that far, the Israe1ites didn’t occupy all of that are, they did parts of it, and they where in wars with Palestinians, back then they where called Philistines.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Alex Smith. you have to swing harder than that if you’re trying to lure me. I love you, man!
June 19th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Dakota,
Palestine was occupied by the English before they gave it to the Israe1ies, that was back in 1946. Arab countries engaged in wars with Israe1 and could have won, but the US and UK interviened and helped the Israe1ies, and the US still helps Israe1 with tax payers money, and that’s why some Arabs have problems with the US.

You must be free of the keyboard sickness,and your callous racist humor.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Correction, they have a problem with the US government and its foreign policies not the American people.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Dakota,
one more thing, we didn’t lose, we are still fighting.
June 19th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
KoolKell…
yup… that us =) thats how we are, hate censorship, but it costs us a bundle of doe, because the arab countries cancels trade agreements….
We are the top nation in the world in construction, and were hired to fix the entire infrastructure of Egypt.. mainroads anyway, and new housing… they just canceled…
I guess thats the price for fighting for free speech..
btw, the Mus1im friends I have were not offended, because as they said “only a mus1im can’t portrait Muhamm3d” no where in koran does it say a Christian can’t” - ” And so what?!” was another reply…
June 19th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
whats goin on nation
June 19th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Denmark does a lot of business in the Middle East, in turn Arabs come to Denmark. Danish backlash?
June 19th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
its not easy having 2 nationalities, I find myself defending the US when I’m overseas, and our lifestyle, people always talk about us using more than 45% of the world’s resources, and being an evil empire, and then I have to defend Palestinians when I’m here and explain to people how we are not terrorists and every country has some people that are nice and open-minded, and others that are ignorant and racist.
June 19th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
KoolKell…
No a bunch of Turks came in the 60’s when we needed labor.. some other arab countries as well. then the hard times in 70’s and later on in 80’s there a big problem..
then the balkan wars, then we recieved a lot from down there… and it has a great impact when DK is about 5.5M
I have no problem with them at all, as long the behave them as I expect other to behave…
Thats why the Black jazz musicians was amazed that they were treated like regular people, was invited into peoples homes and slept at them, this was in the 50’s and 50’s
June 19th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
50’s and 60’s even…
June 19th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
To all the Americans, my people and my nation, and the same to the Palestinians. I hope I was fair in my posts to all people and didn’t offend any side, and if I did I’m sorry and it was not intentional.
June 19th, 2008 at 5:29 pm

Excellent post. In regard to the negative comments, you have to learn to by pass the idiots like MR, etc. I’ve learn who I want to read and who I don’t want to read and I move on accordingly. There are many idiots and young teenie-boopers who have major problems, posting under different names, or they’re just Raider Haters posting on our blog.
JERRY, YOU NEED TO GET A REGISTRATION AND PASS WORD OR YOUR BLOG IS GOING DOWN THE TUBES…SOONER THAN LATER.
June 19th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Whats up Thec?
June 19th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Raider O…
Yeah, that is your problem, you are still fighting…get over it…you lost. The mighty conquer the weak all the time; that is the way of the world. Ask the Native Americans. This fight that is being perpetuated can only end one of two ways, either 1. you give up, or 2. you do something so stupid (with Iran’s help) that you force Israe1 to put an end to you once and for all.
Get with the program, assimilate and get on with your lives…
Just the way I see it playing out…I do not have strong feelings for either side.

June 19th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I respect your opinion Dakota, but I don’t agree with it. You should fight till the end for what you believe in.

In 1967 you had the help of Egypi, Jord@n, Syr1a and 1ebanon, and the support of 1raq, A1geria, Kuwa1t and Sud@n…and you still couldn’t get the job done…as a matter of fact, the Israe1ies made you look silly.
Do you honestly think that the U$ or Eng1and will allow Israe1 to be placed back in your hands?
Dream on…

June 19th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Walker, is what he is. A product of his invironment. He did what people of wealth and fame do everyday.
Problem is he’s another spoiled athlete out of the fifty people this happend to that same weekend and he plays for our team.
I’m as optimistic now as I was prior to this, becuase he can still play. He is one of the top 20 WR in the game and will provide an outstanding target for Russell.
I think we have a chance to be special on defense this year eventhough we did get what I wanted in the draft. I feel that Sands is going to surprise, Kelly will prove he’s was worth the money.
Our secondary will prove to be the best the game has to offer. The same as the running game.
It may take Russell until mid to really start to become consistent but I think heis such a special talent that he will make this offense one the most diffeicult to defend in the game. Remember in the NFL the QB is it.

“…The Raiders actually made a lot of strides in 2007. The coaching staff and players got along much better than they did in 2006. That is why it is surprising that Al Davis would be fighting with his young coach, Lane Kiffin after his first year on the job. While Al Davis is a hard owner to predict, there is no way that a reasonable owner would have expected more than 4-6 wins with the mess Kiffin took over….
… Darren McFadden appears to be the real deal. He has everything you could ask for. Speed, strength, and a good running style. Don’t expect him to have the year Peterson had in 2007, simply because the Oakland line is nowhere near the Minnesota line….
… The Raiders tried to upgrade the receiving core by signing Javon Walker to a $55 million dollar contract. That was the theme of the Raider offseason, Just Spend Baby!!! I think Walker will upgrade the receiving core, but remember he has had 2 knee injuries since 2005, plus the Williams incident in Denver and the new Las Vegas incident where he sustained serious injuries in a robbery. Plus, I have read reports that he didn’t show up in the best of shape to Raider workouts in May, something that was a disappointment given the money Oakland threw his way…
…The Raiders success on pass defense is somewhat of a mirage. Yes they have some good talent there. But when your team gives up the second most rushing yards in the NFL, the most yards per attempt, and the most rushing touchdowns teams aren’t going to waste their time throwing the ball. Keep in mind that teams passed the ball the second fewest times against Oakland. Even a team like Green Bay that relied heavily on the pass was able to basically rest Favre coming off an injury against the Cowboys when they played the Raiders. Favre threw the ball just 23 times in a 38-7 victory as Ryan Grant gashed them for a regular season high 29 carries and 156 yards.
If the Raiders are going to compete in this division with LT, Denver’s running system, and Larry Johnson they have to be able to stop the run. They signed Thomas Kelly to a record contract for a defensive lineman, something that was boggling to the mind. Warren Sapp is gone from the fold this year. He was clearly on the downside of his career. Still, the Raiders really didn’t address the defensive line, which is the most important part of the run defense.
On offense, the passing game is going to really struggle at times this year. Russell had only 66 attempts in 2007, so he is going to be learning on the job. I’ve already talked about Walker’s question marks. After him and Curry there isn’t a lot of proven talent at the receiving core. Zach Miller is a young emerging tight end. The first year of starting for a quarterback is always a difficult chore. With a below average receiving I expect Russell to show signs of greatness, but also struggle quite a bit.
Prediction: Things are getting better for Oakland. They are getting a young nucleus of players on offense and are starting to bring some talent in on defense. The Raiders and Jets were the most active teams in free agency and fans are going to be excited that a winning season is near.
They still have a few problems. San Diego has a young nucleus in place and is not ready to surrender the division to Oakland. Denver also has a young nucleus on offense and while they have their own troubles on defense they have better receivers, offensive line, and secondary. It is going to be hard for the Raiders to break through that in 2008.”

“Javon Walker was having a rough offseason even before being found unconscious on a Las Vegas street Monday with an orbital bone (eye socket) fracture. It’s too early to understand the long-term implications, but this is a serious setback. Walker was already being chided in Oakland for being out of shape. I wondered his conditioning was simply the effect of his knee injuries making him look slow. Hopefully he can recover from this latest setback, but he’s been through a lot over the last two years. We were already skeptically of a rebound….
…Russell’s offseason work was reportedly inconsistent. Dynasty leaguers have to worry that he’s improving his short game in a West Coast offense, then may have to re-learn a brand new system when Al Davis inevitably pushes Lane Kiffin out the door.”

# With the signing of Darren McFadden, the Raiders have now inked offseason free-agent contracts totaling more than a quarter of a billion. They won’t all be fully realized, of course, but even if a chunk of that is Monopoly money, the guaranteed amount is roughly half that. An eighth of a billion is hardly a bill of goods.
# That doesn’t even count the roughly $35 million in guaranteed dollars JaMarcus Russell ultimately will collect as part of his $68 million total deal. Like Jed Clampett, Al Davis must have struck oil somewhere on the Raiders’ Alameda practice grounds backlot.
# So, with all that cash on the come line, do you think Davis is going to be satisfied with a modest improvement to 8-8 next fall? Ahem, Lane Kiffin and Co. better be looking at a minimum of 10-6 or there won’t even be a question about any letter of resignation.
# After Warren Sapp, a few years of Tommy Kelly not talking to the media will be a good thing, just to get things averaged out. Besides, everybody wants to see Tommy run, not run his mouth.

June 20th, 2008 at 12:52 am
“Al Davis had to know that wide receiver Javon Walker was a risky proposition at any price, right?
After Denver released Walker last winter, Davis had to know that the Raiders’ guarantee of $16 million topped all other Walker contract proposals by more than $10 million.
Davis had to know he was betting part of the Raiders’ future on an unpopular player with an iffy ACL, declining performance and some controversy in his past.
• Right now, we all should be concerned about Walker’s health and future after he was found robbed and beaten on a Las Vegas street early Monday.
But if I’m a Raiders fan, I have to worry about Davis’ instincts and vetting process.
Early reports out of Las Vegas indicate that Walker might’ve suffered an orbital fracture, which would put his season in jeopardy. If the injuries are less serious, you’d still have to guess that training camp is way up in the air.
• If Walker misses the season or more, the Raiders might not have to pay much of the guaranteed money. But they didn’t sign Walker to sue him or release him.
Al overpaid Walker for the same reasons he overpaid DeAngelo Hall, Tommy Kelly, Gibril Wilson and Kwame Harris in the off-season - pure desperation after this five-season stagger.
But if mega-signings start to blow up on you, the ripple effect through a franchise is devastating. Of course, Davis will want to blame other people. Problem: There’s really nobody left except Al.”

June 20th, 2008 at 12:52 am
Oakglenn: If he can play, we need him. If he can’t, we’re probably in a world of hurt. Carter is competent, but our passing game will keep no DC’s up late at night. I hear nothing about rookie suprises in our corps. And who will block? It was mentioned yesterday that if Grove is being considered for starting center, what do the other centers we signed look like? I fear that Jamarcus may have to learn the game flat on his back. What a waste! I hope for the best, but our offensive line, (and defensive, for that matter), keep ME up at night. Al spent alot of money, but what did we really get? No apparent improvement in the fundamental areas of the team. I feel like my hopes are hopes for a miracle…
June 20th, 2008 at 1:12 am
MR: It’s good to see some reasonably thoughtful posts from you. But in the end, what good is the goal of ripping Al a new one? I don’t recall that this year’s class of free agents was particularly strong. I think Davis did the best he could to improve the team, but the lines- which were the hallmark of our strong teams-were neglected due to a lack of available and willing talent. It sounds like Sand’s conditioning is poor at this time, and we need a strong performance from the guys we have. We have alot of questions, aside from Walker, and few answers.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:51 am
Since I seem to have the floor- if anyone reads my posts- as I am relatively new here, although not a new fan, (since 1966), I believe I am not alone in my concerns. I think the Walker incident reminded everyone how fragile our hopes are. I read through scores, even hundreds, of posts not even remotely football related. It’s one thing when guys exchange a few barbs or discuss personal matters in an effort to get to know each other. It’s another when the subject of football is shunned. I think there are alot of worried people out there. Although I wanted Clady in the draft, now that we have McFadden, I will cheer him to the end. But I haven’t heard a word about Harris for a long time, and he will need to be a big suprise for us to succeed. Typical Raider secrecy? I hope so.

MR responds to himself under various names because he knows he is full of doodoo. Some interesting stats about Kelly vs Harris.
Kelly- 4 years, 49 games, 163 tackles, 13 sacks.
Harris-4 years, 60 games, 139 tackles, 19 sacks.
I bet we don’t hear about how much they overpaid Harris even though he got more money than Kelly with less production. Al sure did get that one right, more to follow.

Tooz great name and I like your enthusiasm but seriously no one is proud to be from Modesto (not even Scott Peterson)
LMN good to see you are still here.
As for Javon Walker he will get a chance to make us all forget what happened in Las Vegas with a great first half of the season. If he doesn’t get in shape and prove himself, Kiffin will bench him fast and he wont earn enough playing time to cash in on the big contract.
Thats why Big Al (and most NFL teams) have the contract structured in that manner.
I’m IN!!

That being said, Kelly will receive a guaranteed 18 million over 3 years and Harris gets the same guaranteed 18 million but that´s only for the next 2 seasons and unless something weird happens he´ll also collect another 9 million in the third year of his deal, making it 27 million over 3 years.
So, over the next 3 seasons Kelly will get a yearly salary of 6 million while Harris gets 9 million per, I´d say that´s almost fair but Kelly still has to be considered a bit overpaid until he proves otherwise, he´ll get his chance now by playing full time in the same position Harris plays.

thanks 408 raider! I have read every single article and most of the posts on here for the past year and a half. i just tend to stay away form posting since there are alot of trolls. my name has been ruined many times on this blog. i will start posting again though.
GO RAIDERS!!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Also, again commenting on a Johnny Rebel post (757) about that bleacher report article…
I agree with it, I was watching Michael Smith on espn the other day and he mentioned how we scored 17 points or less in 9 out our 12 losses.
It would be hard for any team to win with so little scoring when you consider the average NFL team scored 21.7 ppg.
And that´s not an excuse for our “beloved” defense, but it is something to consider when explaining the McFadden pick and Walker´s risky sigining.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening.
If you have not already read it, there is a good read over at raidernews.com . About J-Russ’ upcoming community event. That he is going to put on, in his home town of Mobile, Al. next weekend.
I can’t post the direct link, but go over to raudernews.com . Worth the effort.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Excellent point Bob. Obviously the organization thought the best way to shore up the defense was to add some offensive firepower to keep the D off the field and fresher later in games. Can’t say I completely disagree with that philosophy.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:12 am
errrr.. *raidernews.com*
June 20th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Kelly- 4 years, 49 games, 163 tackles, 13 sacks.
Harris-4 years, 60 games, 139 tackles, 19 sacks.
I guess Harris wasn’t considered overpaid….even though Kelly has been more productive in less games?
Thats to all the haters…
June 20th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Actually they shored up the defense by signing Hall, Wilson, resigning Kelly and a few FA’s.
Rob Ryan needs to perform at least 1 year inhis life hopefully its this year!
OakGlenn how many names you using today ?
June 20th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Oh NO!!!!! The ignorant sistaclown has once again emerged out from under his rock and chimed in. Here, sista, here’s a little book called “Missy and the The Painted Pony”. It’s got tons of pictures. It’s designed for three year olds. And you.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:21 am
OakGlenn, just answer the question. How many names you using today ?
June 20th, 2008 at 10:23 am
OakGlenn, are you in favor of a registered blog ? Ive never seen you ask Jerry to have registration…
June 20th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Damn Sistaclown do you ever shut your pie hole? Always starting sh*t. Grow up little man.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Oakglenn
Yeah, and we did win the time of possesion battle with a 31:09 average but you can have the ball for 33.18 minutes a game (league leader) and it won´t matter, if you often struggle to reach 17 points chances are you are gonna lose those games.
We were tied for 6th in time of possession but take a middle of the pack team in that category like KC, they were ranked 16th, the difference was little over a minute and we had the same record.
So, it´s what you do with the ball rather than how much you keep it and we failed to produce enough points most of the time and we can´t count on the defense to bail us out, yet.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Sistaclown is always crying and whining about people using multiple posting names, do you think we don’t know who you are when you post as “Jerry Get A Registration”? Not everyone is as easily mislead as you are. Stop assuming everyone is as stupid as you. Like I said, grow the f up!
June 20th, 2008 at 10:29 am

Jerry, register this blog!
June 20th, 2008 at 10:32 am
it’s not as much as me getting Oakglenn’s back as much as it is me getting very tired of seeing ignorant posts by some hater that thinks he is smarter than everyone else. You barely know enough about football to sustain a normal conversation. It’s always about starting sh*t with Oakglenn. Grow up.

Hey Oakglenn and Mistabrown…
I know it´s not of my business but what the heck happened to you guys?.
Both post good stuff when not going back and forth with each other, so why don´t you just spare us the drama and get over it.
Just some friendly advice fellas…you can keep your tired little war going if you want.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:42 am

June 20th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Bob,
Im tired of seeing 700 post per thread of troll bullsh!t and these morons using different names. When you get tired of it as well let me know.
And since you asked what happened it all started when OakGlenn said the NYG run the same defense as the Raiders and they hardly blitzed NE in the Super Bowl. I had the game on DV-R still and called him out and he hates me for it. Now he calls me stupid (how ironic) and post under multiple names because I popped his little blog bubble.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:46 am
2 days of no new info and there is less then 800 post.

I´m tired of the troll(s) too but apparently we can´t do anything about it, try ignoring them I guess.
And I don´t wanna get into the specifics between you and Oakglenn, I said what I wanted to say, I´m done.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:55 am
The Giants may have blizted somewhat, but they got the majority of pressure from the front four.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Sistaclown (A nickname that I coined, not Oakglenn)
Bob is right, and for you to insinuate that I am Oakglenn just shows that you have no clue how your stupid bullspit effects everyone else in here.
It must be nice to think that all of these people that think you are an idiot are just one person. It’s called denial…
June 20th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Vegas they blitzed 13 times in 3 1/2 quarters.
Somewhat ?
June 20th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Bob Marley says; Its what you do with the ball,NOT HOW LONG YOU HAVE IT.tRUE TO A POINT.When Dan Fouts played 4 the chockers,they would score a TD in less than a minute,everytime they had the ball. by the end of third quater thier defence was cooked,and they would lose.So IMHO,you do need good ball-control,but also you must score,if not punt to coffin corner and pin them deep.Ball control both sides if and when possible

Kell, if Jerry ever registers this blog you and OakGlenn will never be heard from again.
I think you’re an idiot too, what difference does it make ? Do you want to take a poll here of who thinks who is an idiot ?
Go F yourself Kell..
June 20th, 2008 at 11:02 am
You think that’s a lot?? Philly blitzes on every play! That probably comes out to every third down, maybe. Believe me though, I wish Ryan would throw in a third-down blitz every now and than.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Kell, you come off like an angry black man that has been washing dishes for 40 years and blamed it on the white man.
Do you want to go round and round ?
June 20th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Vegas I do think its alot yes and its hardly “somewhat”
June 20th, 2008 at 11:05 am
nice
June 20th, 2008 at 11:08 am
I’ll give you somewhat may have not been the best word, but New England had 14 third down attempts and two fouth down attempts, so they ended up blitzing around once or twice a possession. Not a whole lot. The point is they didn’t have to rely on blitzing to get to the QB

June 20th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Vegas,
NYG blitzed the pants off NE. They knew they didnt have a chance otherwise. Brady would eat them up if he had time in the pocket.
1 or 2 times a possession isnt alot ? WOW…Oakland might blitz 1 or 2 times an entire game and thats if RR is feelin gutsy!
June 20th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Well who blitzes less than us though?? I wish we would blitz more, use to love watching C-Wood come flying in off the edge.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:26 am

And who blitzes 13 times in 3 1/2 quarters? In the SB !
Its alot, its the only way to beat NE! Watch what other teams to do to NE in 2008, its a copycat league and NYG set the blueprint.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:39 am
First off, thanks Kell. 2ndly I don’t post as KK or others. sorry but I’ve been working. I have a job. I have a house. I drive an MBZ. I pull chicks. Unlike some of the sorry ass losers on this site. 3rdly, note how sistaclown comes in here and starts sh** with me and others. Clown said that was false and if I could prove it, he would leave and never return. I proved it in 5 seconds and Clown shrugged it off. Clown has NO INTEGRITY. NONE. 95% of posters here have some integrity and knowledge. Clown has neither. Clown is a useless scumbag waste. Then, there is Clowns obvious lack of knowledge relating to anyting about football. I could post pages and pages of posts where Clown demonstrates incredible ignorance of anything related to the game. Bob Marley, Clown went on to post how the offense has nothing to do with how the defense plays. I mean just completely stupid, ignorant stuff. So when Clown says he saw something relating to football, immediately it’s suspect.
Bob, the team decided firepower would be the best way to help the D. As I posted earlier, can’t really disagree.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Oakglenn…
good way to put it…
McFadden is fire power…
Dorsey/Gholston/Long, yeah even Clady are body armour…
June 20th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Actually Vegas, don’t buy it just because Clown says it. Clown has been waaaay wrong waaaay more times than he is ever been right. Clown wouldn’t know a blitz if he was in London in 1941 and bombs were dropping all around him.
Vegas You are exactly right. The Giants got pressure mainly from their front four. Clown is an imbecile. And funny thing, Clown is the only one of the planet that says wow, the Giants blitzed NE to death in the Super Bowl. Everyone else in the freaking free world says, wow, the Giants got pressure from their front four. Of course , those are only football people, hence why defensive linemen went as a premium in the draft. If Clown was right, everyone would have been drafting safeties, corners and linebackers with blitzing ability.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Oakglenn,
Before the draft, I constantly posted about the need to draft Mcfadden as it would improve the D. I was told it would not, TOP had no meaning and we need to draft a DT or DE. Now both Long and Dorsey are finding in OTA’s and Mini-Camp that they have a learning curve to be effective in the NFL.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:48 am
This blog is turning into a Springer Show. Is this blog not about football? You all sound like a bunch of children in here. Grow up.
Talk football. How hard is it to read something by a stupid person and not respond to it? Nobody forces you to type a response. Talk about Football. Keep it up and all you of bickering idiots are going to get the comments turned off. Then what will you do while you are at work?
How about Russell progressing into an intelligent QB? Or the improvement of the offensive line. Or how about Carter and Russ forming a crucial bond? You call yourselves Raider fans? I’m ashamed to represent the Silver and Black with the majority of you jokes in here.

…….
Oh, nobody ever thought you didn’t, Oakglenn. I mean, from what we know about women, you and your persona here is everything they would want in a man. Whenever you read those “turn ons” in Playboy or Maxim or whatever, it always says:
“smile, sense of humor, long walks on the beach, but most importantly, a guy who defends his football team more than anything else, and who will spend countless days commiserating, fussing, and fighting with people who criticize his team. A guy who will even contact moderators over the phone on Easter Sunday and beg them to ban the IP addresses of people who criticize his favorite team.”
Oakglenn, you’re every woman’s dream. You don’t ever have to tell us you pull chicks. It goes without saying.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:50 am
I can’t find the site where it was said that Long gave his “Best Move” and the response was “Is that it?” lol
June 20th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Exla, I’ll be the first one to say I posted repeatedly how I wanted Sedrick Ellis or Dorsey. But I also said I’m not going to cry a river if we get Dmac.
One thing that I have posted in here over the last season is I really wished the Raiders would draft guys that love the game, not just love the $$$, love the bling, love the fame, and love the lifestyle. Montana loved the game. Rice loved the game. Romo loved the game. Farve loved the game. Jerry Porter, uh, Javon Walker, uh,… But this was something I did not know before the draft, I can tell you guys one new player that absolutely loves the game of football. His name is McFadden.
BTW, sorry, MR, I know you are disappointed, but I’m strictly hetero.

June 20th, 2008 at 11:56 am
Vegas, you and OakGlenn are exactly wrong. The NYG rained blitzes on the NYG I broke down the game off DV-R months ago. Teir front 4 is pretty good but NY sent Gibril Wilson quite frequently, they mixed in corner blitzes as well as linebacker blitzes.
When I watched the game live I didnt really notice how much they blitzed it wasnt until OakGlenn forced me to go back and look at the game thats when I saw NE O-Line false starting and Brady was frustrated like I never seen him.
Vegas if you can get a copy of the SB you should doit you will be surprised and you will see why OakGlenn is still pissed at me.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:58 am
OakGlenn, would you like to see this blog registered I never got your answer!
June 20th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Oakglenn,
Romo doesn’t love the game. He loves going to Cabo and being a goon. Romo is overrated.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Oakglenn:
You are dead on, people saw the pressure put on by the Giants and put a huge premuim on D-Lineman in the draft. Even if Mista is right, a big IF, 13 blitzes in 3.5 quarters (why 3.5 by the way; apparently the last 7 minutes of the Super Bowl aren’t relevant) is not a lot. I think Philly blitzed NE in regular season 40+ times. Point is you have to put pressure on the QB, and if you can do it with 4 people instead of 6, you are better off. Not rocket science
June 20th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Sistaclown -
I sell multi-million dollar homes on a regualr basis. Like Oak, I too drive a Benzo and have had a brand new car just about every 3 years. I am black but I have nothing against white people. My problem is with racist, ignorant people like yourself that are constantly proven wrong and instead of admitting it you go off on ignorant tirades.
My guess is that you do some $10 an hour data entry job and you are mad because everyone else is CLEARLY smarter than you.

Clown once said a blitz was the best way to combat the screen pass to LT. Actually the screen pass to LT is the best way to combat the blitz. As I said earlier this guy wouldn’t know a blitz if he was standing on the Polish border in 1940. If all of us here were talking about blitzkrieg, Sistaclown would be talking about blitzkrieg2, the video game. Since all of us discuss pro football, Clown discuss madden 08.

June 20th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
A little reposting action, since just about everyone here is off topic…
“Al Davis had to know that wide receiver Javon Walker was a risky proposition at any price, right?
After Denver released Walker last winter, Davis had to know that the Raiders’ guarantee of $16 million topped all other Walker contract proposals by more than $10 million.
Davis had to know he was betting part of the Raiders’ future on an unpopular player with an iffy ACL, declining performance and some controversy in his past.
• Right now, we all should be concerned about Walker’s health and future after he was found robbed and beaten on a Las Vegas street early Monday.
But if I’m a Raiders fan, I have to worry about Davis’ instincts and vetting process.
Early reports out of Las Vegas indicate that Walker might’ve suffered an orbital fracture, which would put his season in jeopardy. If the injuries are less serious, you’d still have to guess that training camp is way up in the air.
• If Walker misses the season or more, the Raiders might not have to pay much of the guaranteed money. But they didn’t sign Walker to sue him or release him.
Al overpaid Walker for the same reasons he overpaid DeAngelo Hall, Tommy Kelly, Gibril Wilson and Kwame Harris in the off-season - pure desperation after this five-season stagger.
But if mega-signings start to blow up on you, the ripple effect through a franchise is devastating. Of course, Davis will want to blame other people. Problem: There’s really nobody left except Al.”

“Let’s hope Javon Walker is OK after getting beaten up and robbed on a Las Vegas street early Monday morning. Let’s hope he’s not hurt seriously. Let’s hope he will, at some point, be able to play football again, possibly as soon as this season.
But let’s also be level-headed here: Every team in the NFL knew that Walker had issues and, according to several sources I’ve talked to just today, no team was willing to pay him more than $3M once Denver released him after last season.
Walker has ACL issues. Walker has work-ethic issues. Walker has off-the-field issues. Walker should be very careful after being in the car with Darrent Williams when his teammate was shot and killed in a situation that, as espn.com’s Bill Williamson has pointed out, seems to all-too-similar to Walker’s incident Monday morning last night in Las Vegas.
Every team in the NFL was wary of Walker, including the 49ers, who desperately need a break-away WR.
Every team knew better than to toss large amounts of money at Walker. Except the Raiders. My oh my: Definitely except the Raiders.
Yes, Al Davis, bidding against himself, gave Walker a $55M deal, which included $16M in guaranteed money.
That was after Brandon Marshall beat out Walker to become the Broncos’ No. 1 receiver. That was after Walker limped through only eight games and 26 catches last season.
Still, Davis was so desperate to collect players who might help turn around the Raiders’ descent that he paid Walker $16M guaranteed, and now this.
Davis also paid enormous sums and gave up draft picks for CB DeAngelo Hall. Paid huge money for DT Tommy Kelly. Paid good money for S Gibril Wilson and LT Kwame Harris.
He was desperate. No other team would’ve paid those guys anything close to what Al paid them. NOT CLOSE.
Al might hit on some of these guys. But he has been wrong on most of his decisions for the last five seasons and now he’s just getting more desperate.
This is a bad sign–Al didn’t do his homework on Javon Walker, and that might just be the start of it.”

Kell,
You can’t comprehend my level buddy. I’ll let you go on with your “I make more money than you” argument if that makes you fell all warm inside. I’m doing just fine thank you working for the Department of Defense. THIS IS NOT BROWN, get that through your head.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I do all right but not as much as a few years ago. I have already moved several houses within the fiscal year and my bottom line is looking pretty good. I can’t imagine working for $10 an hour like Sista, who magically disappeared when DEATHbyTATUM showed up.

I’m happy for you that you are doing well. It’s funny that you think I’m “sista”, though. Two different people buddy. I don’t post here often. Look me up, I’m here but not alot. Look in old threads. Your $10 an hour argument is tired. Get something new. It doesn’t bother me because I know I’m legit, son.

If a numbskull like you works for the DOD this country is in more trouble than I thought. It makes sense though because you don’t have to be very bright to work for the DOD.

“…after all of the dramatics that happened following Kiffin’s first season, you have to question why Kiffin took the job in the first place, when it’s clear that Al Davis isn’t exactly the epitome of patience.
You could’ve stayed at USC, with your cushy, drama-free job as an assistant for one of the elite programs in the country, waiting patiently until a less drama-filled head coaching job came calling in the next couple of seasons. Fortunately, if you do get fired for not living up to Davis’ standards, you won’t have a problem with finding another job.”

Al does his best to shell out the money. You can’t deny him that. He does have his ups and downs but the guy can’t be called a “Cheap Skate”.
Firing Gruden and now this spat with Kiff are the two biggest mistakes that I can remember him making. Kiffin is a youn, bright coach with serious potential. He is driving him out of town so Lofton can be his next puppet. It wont be long until you see Kiff with another team in the playoffs. It’s sad but true.

“The Raiders success on pass defense is somewhat of a mirage. Yes they have some good talent there. But when your team gives up the second most rushing yards in the NFL, the most yards per attempt, and the most rushing touchdowns teams aren’t going to waste their time throwing the ball. Keep in mind that teams passed the ball the second fewest times against Oakland. Even a team like Green Bay that relied heavily on the pass was able to basically rest Favre coming off an injury against the Cowboys when they played the Raiders. Favre threw the ball just 23 times in a 38-7 victory as Ryan Grant gashed them for a regular season high 29 carries and 156 yards.
If the Raiders are going to compete in this division with LT, Denver’s running system, and Larry Johnson they have to be able to stop the run. They signed Thomas Kelly to a record contract for a defensive lineman, something that was boggling to the mind. Warren Sapp is gone from the fold this year. He was clearly on the downside of his career. Still, the Raiders really didn’t address the defensive line, which is the most important part of the run defense.
On offense, the passing game is going to really struggle at times this year. Russell had only 66 attempts in 2007, so he is going to be learning on the job. I’ve already talked about Walker’s question marks. After him and Curry there isn’t a lot of proven talent at the receiving core. Zach Miller is a young emerging tight end. The first year of starting for a quarterback is always a difficult chore. With a below average receiving I expect Russell to show signs of greatness, but also struggle quite a bit.”

Ok enough is enough. You are all so damn stupid that I can’t take it anymore. Oakglenn and his many personalities can rot in hell.

Death by Tatum, who cares if Al throws money around? It’s about building winning teams. If Al’s only quality anymore is signing big checks, then he’s no better than Dan Snyder. In fact, in the past 5 years, he’s far worse than Dan Snyder. At least Snyder knows how to let smarter people direct him to the right players.

No curse as far as I can tell. NCAA’s cover athletes aren’t as universally known like the Madden ones are. NCAA has had a few jokes on the cover, ie Joey Harrington, Chris Weinke, Danny Wuerffel NS Zebransky. But high profile players like Shaun Alexander, Desmond Howard, Carson Palmer, Reggie Bush, Charles Woodson and Larry Fitzgerald all had pretty good first years in the NFL. I say 1st year instead of rookie year because Palmer sat behind Kitna.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
It seems like Jason Taylor can be had for a second-round pick potentially. I think it might be worth it, as long as he plays two years.

Vegas,
That sounds like a good asking price for other teams but its too steep for us given that we will need next year’s draft big time. I can’t see spending that high of a pick on a guy who will only play for 1 season and who wants to dance and act rather than knock heads.

Vegas, I was watching the last Super Bowl with quite a few people and that was my recollection as well. I said after the game that the Giants blitzed a “handful” of times and sistaclown went back watched tape and he’s been on me like a genital wart on Mike Vick ever since. You define handful. I stand by my recollection that the Giants won by sending four and strategic blitzing thru out the game.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
offer a third rounder and see who will blink first.
if we could get one good year out of him and let some of our younger guy’s develop that would be worth it…

Oak:
Hope he is not like a gential wart because those are the “for lifers”. You and me saw the same game than
Death:
The key is getting two years out of him. Maybe package Lamont and a third? Doubt they would do it though. I know his priorities don’t seem like football, but Tiki’s best year was his last one with all the distractions.

Anyway,it seems we are all very hopefull of our cerebus?backfield or threeheaded monster of a backfield.Im thinking we could also have the same 4 our DTs this year.Think of it we could rotate our DTs of Kelly Sands Joseph Lopez.We would always have fresh legs in game.The combonations are very intriging 2 me.What say you GREATEST NATION??? GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 1:40 pm

June 20th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Bah missed MR again and his “thug lifer” mentality. If we could just keep Walker away from the thugs.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
The women MR flirts with are prostitutes, yet they don’t want to go near him either, at any price.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Eyepatch,
I agree, so find a new shot.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
I’m going to ignore Kell. Looks like he got back from his mommy cooking him lunch and swimming with his little buddies in the shallow end.
Vegas,
I wouldn’t mind having Taylor, sure…but I don’t know. I’ve never really liked Taylor. He has always had talent but he always seemed to have other motives which are coming out now. I would love to get rid of fat a$$ Jordan and a 3rd for Taylor, I’d go for that. Even if it meant for one year, it would help with the run D until we could get someone next year…and it would get rid of Jordan the Cancer.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I think that it would be an ideal situation if we could rotate our DTs.
any coach would love to have a stable of young guy’s to keep fresh and not skip a beat.
if we could do it and be successful then the our D will be much improved.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Of course MR will be pissed off again and post under my name, whatever.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Wilson is such a huge upgrade over Schweigert simply because he can read offenses and make secondary adjustments to help support the run.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Im really interested in this Lopez guy.If he stays home and plays his position I think he could be a force in the middle.I only own one RAIDER jersey,37 Lester Hayes ,but ,if Lopez works out I will get his jersey too!I just think he has a lot of potential,being young and all,like another diamond in the rough that AD seems 2 find.He just might make people say Dorsey who??? GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
I can’t wait till the Monday Night opener with Walker grabs a TD and Warren gets a sack. Denver fans will puke their Mormon guts out!

I forgot 2 ask if anybody knows Lopez number????
June 20th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
everyone here hated B.Sims yet they now want Taylor.go watch the Miami game last year and watch Sims manhandle Taylor.one of the reasons for our terrible last 5 years was we signed too many “Taylors” instead of developing our oun young players.also,if charger fan aka:MR makes everyone so sick,why do you all keep responding to him?if no one replied to his nonsense might go away.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Funny MR refers to a street cred blog. I bet Walker has alot of street cred now MR, what do you think? But you would rather he hang with the ghetto leeches anyway to help recover his street cred I bet.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Lefty,
First sensible post I’ve read all day. But you know what Rasheed says…”Even the sun shines on a dog’s a$$.” That was a career day for Simms.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
The last player we need is Taylor.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Simms didn’t even commit any false starts either versus Taylor.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Can we not talk about Simms? That guy caused me so much anguish for the years he was here. Just talking about him makes my skin crawl. Everytime I saw him on the Stockton Chevrolet commercials, I wanted to put a brick through my TV.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
4eva-who is Lopez?is he one of those foreign players the NFL puts out there that teams sign.i believe it’s a program to promote the game and give those foreign players a shot they might otherwise not have.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
MR: If you are going to quote me, at least quote the sentence. Otherwise there is no context. My point was that this year’s class of free agents did not offer that much in talented and willing linemen, so Al improved what he could- to the unfortunate neglect of the lines.

Lefty 12; yes you are correct in youre assumption of the NFL giving players a shot who otherwise might not get a shot in the NFL.He grew up in Mexico played collage ball in Mexico.Won thier equivellent of a national championship.Got picked up by NFL Europe.He is 6-1,329lbs,and is 25 years old.He plays DT.A true gem on D-LINE,run stopper.True he may be a progect but AD has a very good eye 4 these types of players.Im sorry this is all I know of Mauricio Lopez but I have very high hopes 4 him

Damn, who shat all over this board?
I guess its time for Terrapin to Chime in a little bit on a big ‘ol Friday. First topic JV (<–and that doesn’t just stand for his initials either but more of his behavior ..but I’m not going to be too critical ..heck we all like to have some fun sometimes no matter how we do it …but you can just count me out of the spending $15k on a round of drinks club …no matter how much money I’ve got … as the Italians would say, “forgetaboutit!”). But seriously though, I don’t care too much about the story. It ONLY matters to the extent of whether or not he’s going to be fit for TC and/or have long-term ill effects due to the injury. Details are sketchy but the signs are positive. We all are going to forget this as soon as the pre-season starts and as soon as he catches his first TD pass from the man - JR. Its a story for sure, but as this team is concerned long term - its nothing to worry about unless his health is in jeopardy.
But on JR - patience is all I can say. HE’s working hard and thats as much as we can ask for. At least we got that, instead of some money hungry no-good, lazy, slouch in the draft. Thank your lucky stones we didn’t end up with that. But you’ve gotta be patient and let the game come to him. Towards the end of this season we’ll have a rough, to fairly good idea of what we have back there. He has the Nation’s hopes in the palm of his hands - he is it all.
T.Kelly will require you patience to (I believe). By mid-season, which is roughly the time most athletes fully recover from an ACL injury and get into the groove of playing, is when you should see him come on more. I reckon he’ll play average during the first half but I believe he’ll justify his pay check for sure by season’s end.
Anyone knows if Nnamdi is working out on his own?

Amazing how everyone on the Raiders recovering from knee surgery is a HUGE question mark going into 2008, yet Rivers is recovering from knee surgery as well and may not be 100% by training camp, but no one seems to be questioning his health.
Chargers can spin it however they want. They know the window is closing and they will push Rivers into the line-up despite only having about 6 months to recover.
Rivers wont last the entire season. Hide and watch.
LT is also banged up. Don’t let the media spin distract you. The Chargers are running on dead batteries.
ESPN tries to push Denver because over half of their NFL Staff played there. Don’t buy the hype! Denver was a bad team last year and have had a terrible off-season. They are not the team everyone WANTS them to be.
The Raiders will have a real shot a competeing for this division. 10-6 could win it this year.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
How bout this,
If Javon’s story is the way he presents it, robbery, then Al’s recoup clauses would be moot, no?
I wonder.

10-6 and laughing last into the post season.
we are gonna return to greatness and our winning ways.
everyone hater knows it and can already hear it from us.

June 20th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Less games played and more productive than Harris for less money. Just wait and see what Haynesworth will ask for. In two years Kelly’s deal will look like a bargain.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
7-9 is fine
8-8 is great
9-7 is heaven
10-6 FUUUUUK YOU ESPN!

In a statement to News 3, a spokesperson for MGM-Mirage, which owns Bellagio, says this:
The facts that have been reported regarding the incident involving Javon Walker are incorrect. I am unable to provide further detail out of respect for the Metro investigation which is currently underway
June 20th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Yes and thats right, Davis’s man up defense got robbed by the tuck rule, never forget that.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
2,000 Security cameras at the Bellagio, no way 3 men with guns kidnapped him out of his room.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
No, Kelly would be in the starting rotation, Beli loves him as does evey other NFL team.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Maybe they had cloaking devices?
June 20th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Makes you wonder if Walker was on LSD.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Metro is going to blow-up Jovan’s story real soon. He was chasing some ass and got caught slipping, and was too proud to admit it.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:10 pm

Sorry, I have to give Kelly some crap till he earns some of his $$$.

Knee injuries are common in todays NFL. Whats even more funny is if you do blow out a knee or break a bone what does the doctor give you in mild doses? Steroids.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Bellichick said Tommy Kelly is at the top of his list in terms of DT talent. If NE didn’t pick him up, I could see KC going after him.
By the way, nice point MR’s Thugs. That joke Rivers gets hurt and the Chargers sping it while the Raiders are the laughing stock of the NFL. It’s shows how bias the NFL really is, not to mention the media.
I would love to see the Raiders win the Super Bowl not only for our sake but to spite every single mid-west/east coast moron who bad mouths us because it’s fashionable.

June 20th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I wish Jerry would tell us what some of the other players look like in the OTA’s like Warren. He looked like the best DT in the rotaion last year but just not consistant because of nagging injuries.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Vegas you can probably clarify this for us but the rumour I heard was they found Jivin’ in a little known section of town called Crackton.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Davis had to pay to keep Kelly. Free Agent market was thin at DT and the contracts reflected that.
The Rodgers deal and the new one with Harris show that Kelly got market value for DTs. If the Raiders didn’t pay him, someone else would have.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
The area was between his hotel and the Hard Rock Cafe I read, vacant houses and parking lots, it did sound very shady when you can catch a cab if you are carrying thousands of dollars of cash.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
It is a burnout ally, behind the Imperial Palace about a block from where Tupac was killed. Believe it is known as “D Block”. NOthing but bums, hookers, and flop houses.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
The Kelly signing is starting to make sense now that Harris got that monster deal…but the deal to Walker is still a bit of a stretch. I know we needed a WR bad and since Berrian was gone, there was no real choice but I think we could have signed him for alot less. Nobody wanted to take that big of a risk on his knees. But whatever he is here, cheer him…you have to, it’s your team. Word on the street is that Terry Glenn wants out of Dalls….hmmmm.

That sounds real encouraging. Kiffin should fine him for every pound he has to lose to get into playing shape.

At least Sands is not in Vegas on a more psitive note.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Actually Death the Kelly signing definitely makes sense. He was arguably our best defensive lineman last year, he can play multiple positions, we REALLY COULD NOT AFFORD TO LOSE HIM, and New Orleans among other teams were very very interested in him. That was a solid signing. Interestingly, The Ain’ts traded up to get Sedrick Ellis. Good for them.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Maybe Turd in Vegas wouldn’t be such a bad alternative to staying home all offseason and eating himself to death.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Walker will be a great deal if he does not get killed or suspended because he is the real deal and our secondary could not cover him, so I don’t blame Al and Kiffin for getting him.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Yeah, and it is a tough place to find, you wouldn’t really accidently stumble into to it. A good place to dump a body.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Regardless of the figure, I was really happy we resigned Kelly. After last season, I was afraid we’d let Fargas, Kelly, and Nhamdi(not so sure yet) get away from us.
I wasn’t upset about any other departures. Chris Carr sucked. That guy was a terrible returner, although I would have liked to keep Clemons.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I don’t know Death there is a lot of Buffet’s out here where Turd can get in some trouble
June 20th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Its obvious Walker is still having trouble giving up his gang affiliated friends or still wants to be around those kinds of crowds.

All I want Jovan to do now is earn his roster spot. It probably was a given before this incident, now he is as much as a Raider to me as the dude we drafted in the seventh round. They ain’t Raiders until they suit-up on Sept. 8th. With that said I would love for him to be ballin on Monday night against the donkeys.

You’ve been putting in the good fight lately. Hang in there bro, things are due to swing back in a good way once training camp starts. I don’t live to far from Napa and I am considering checking it out. Have you ever been? Any advice would be much appreciated and that goes for anyone else that may be reading this and has some training camp tips for me.

Hello Nation…Wow…From what I’ve read, taken as a whole…this blog may as well be a high school lunch break. All of the drama and intigue of who’s said what to whom, and how “they suck”
Stop with the bickering, (I’m all for honest give and take),and difference of OPINION.
Ok…My OPINION…The Raiders offense will score more point’s per game this Year.
Darren McFadden will have a great and productive year.
Javon Walker will either put up or be shipped out at the end of this comming season. (assuming He’s healthy and has no excuses)
The defense will be improved.
The Raiders will not stop the run. They will “contain” it.
Not as many LONG gainers…thanks Stewie Suckart(I don’t have the speed to close, nor the intelligence of determining an angle of pursuit)
Thomas Howard could make the Pro Bowl if allowed to “function” as His talent demands.
Gabril Wilson is light years ahead of “Stewie”
Terdell Sands will comand a double team. (if motivated)
Tommy Kelly (if healthy will have 6-10 sacks) and “contain” the run.
Ok enough of my opinions.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
This is usually the worst time of the year because of the lack of info. But after Javon, I welcome some boredom ’til training camp.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

I’m not sure if that’s Oakglenn, it maybe, but he seems different lately.
Napa,
Have you ever been to Family Day at Training Camp. They open Camp for visitors and you can have one on ones with all the players. But you have to watch carefully for it, they wait till the last moment to advertise it. I’d watch the Napa newspaper.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:38 pm

I agree with most of your opinions and one in particular stood out to me. “The Raiders will not stop the run. They will “contain” it.” I can live with that as long as it doesn’t go beyond that. I think with a more productive offense and maybe some quick early leads, teams won’t have as much of an opportunity to set up shop and just run all day long. It also is contingent on a more effective pass rush, which I think the Raiders will have.
It’s all coming together folks. I haven’t been this excited in years.

My opinion- We will have an extremely good running game no2 behind Vikings.
We will be affective in passing and have a good passing offensive.
Kwame Harris will be effective and solid at LT.
We will have a very good passing defence 1 of the best
We will not stop the run as our 2 line has not improved and has probably gotten worse.
Overall we will improve on last year and finish 2nd in our division but just miss the play-offs.

who will be outta the nfl sooner?
-pacman jones
-javon walker
-lane kiffin
-tank johnson
- i got money on walker, since he thinks he is a prettyboy thug and only cares about wasting cash and acting a fool. I also gotta feeling kiffin will be gone soon since he thinks he is the second coming of lombardi, lane kiffin barks like a pitbull but bites like lassie.

“Actually Death the Kelly signing definitely makes sense. He was arguably our best defensive lineman last year,”
…………
Hence, the best defensive linemen…on the Raiders. Which means when it comes to defensive linemen rushing the quarterback yet doing the olay when a running back flies right by them, he’s the best. No, wait…he’s “arguably” the best. What that basically means is that even you yourself are admitting he might not even be the best defensive linemen… on the worst defensive line in football. So, sure, Oakglenn, making him the highest paid defensive tackle in NFL history makes all the sense in the world.
So anyway, Oak, you’re probably out pulling chicks in your Benzo, so go ahead and respond to this tomorrow. You’re IBA’s own Too $hort, Oakglenn. Again, it’s a shame you had to actually announce that to us us this morning. I mean, come on. We, your admirers, knew you had that certain something the ladies flock to, all along. It shows with your every stroke of the keyboard, Oakglenn. You’re every woman’s dream.

MR needs to read before he post, Kelly is not the highest paid DT anymore, Harris is until the next signing. At least you give Oakglenn respect because he drives a Benz. We all know you drive a Buick MR, a very old Buick because you can’t afford those male prostitutes in a Benz.
June 21st, 2008 at 4:35 am
eyepatch….
I think both you and MR needs to read , because I believe it was KoolKell driving a Benz… Not Oakglenn…
Oakglenn might, but I haven’t seen him state anything like that…
Not that I really care…
you all can drive what ever you want to
June 21st, 2008 at 4:43 am
MR said Oakglenn drives a Benz in the post above 1085, not sure what you are reading.
