Madsen returns, Wand to IR
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, October 6th, 2008 at 11:25 am in Oakland Raiders.
John Madsen waived on Sept. 19 to make room for tight end Ben Troupe, is back on the 53-man roster.
Madsen was on the field practicing during the media window during warmups and drills. Seth Wand out with a knee injury, was placed on injured reserve to make room.
In returning from the bye weekend, the only Raiders player who looked as if he wouldn’t practice in at least a limited fashion is running back Darren McFadden. McFadden (turf toe) continues to wear a protective boot on his right foot.
Justin Fargas, who hasn’t played since the first half of the Chiefs game in Week 2, was suited up and on the field with his teammates.
Also practicing were cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (elbow), cornerback Stanford Routt (ankle), guard Cooper Carlisle (ankle), defensive end Derrick Burgess (triceps) and defensive tackle Gerard Warren (pectoral).
Troupe, who has practiced once since since signing because of a foot injury, was out of his protective boot but was not wearing pads.
During special teams drills, Tyvon Branch, who wore a cast on his right hand (broken thumb) the first four games of the season, was taking his turn fielding kickoffs.
Johnnie Lee Higgins has fared well as the Raiders kickoff return specialist, but could give way to Branch in some instances _ particularly if he assumes a bigger role with the receiving corps. Lane Kiffin had mentioned a bigger role for Higgins following the bye, although that determination will now come Tom Cable and Greg Knapp.

Effects of Kiffin firing taking shape in Oakland
By Dan Parr
Oct. 6, 2008
Raiders owner Al Davis took aim and fired his parting shots at Lane Kiffin last week in a very detailed, no-holds-barred, venting session with the media. Davis did what he could to make the head coach he had just fired look as bad as possible.
He called Kiffin “a flat-out liar” and a con man who, by the end of his tenure, was concerned more about getting paid than anything else. He also said Kiffin never had much faith in a team that never quit on him as he led it to a 1-3 record this season.
There’s plenty of blame to go around for the Raiders’ league-worst 20-64 record since 2003, and while Kiffin was there for 20 games of futility, Davis has been pushing buttons at the top of the organization for the duration of the slide. No one deserves a larger share of the blame than Davis, the way we hear it, and, because of the intrusive owner, coaching the Raiders is the job no one wants to touch.
“Al Davis stole Lane Kiffin’s dignity,” a veteran executive told PFW. “That’s not what you do to a young head coach. No one wants to work for the guy. He’s an incessant meddler. It’s not about winning to him. It’s about Al. It’s always been about Al, and he’s not going to check his ego in at the door any time soon.
“As long as Al is Al, it does not matter who is coaching the team.”
The newest man not to matter is Tom Cable, whom Davis promoted from offensive line coach to interim head coach. Cable has 21 years of experience as a coach, including a brief stint as a head coach at the University of Idaho from 2001 through 2003.
Oakland is looking to move on with a new leader in place, but the still-developing consequences of Davis’ management of the Kiffin situation is hindering the team’s ability to make a clean break from the past.
Word is Kiffin and his agent, Gary Uberstine, will file a grievance with commissioner Roger Goodell to get back the unpaid salary remaining on his contract with the Raiders, reportedly a sum of $3.5 million. Davis said he was firing Kiffin for cause, meaning Kiffin would not receive further payments. In addition, reports indicate Kiffin is discussing the possibility of filing a separate multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Davis.
“No one ever likes to see a dispute like that happen,” Goodell told reporters during a stop in Houston on Sunday. “Mr. Davis made it very clear he didn’t like it. It was clear that Coach Kiffin was uncomfortable under the current circumstances.
“It’s something that’s unfortunate. You don’t want to see it happen.”
The commissioner said he did not intend to intervene in the matter unless he’s asked to.
“It’s a reality of our business,” Goodell said. “They’ve moved on now. If I’m involved in some fashion, or asked to be involved or required to be involved, I will certainly fulfill my responsibility. But I don’t think (there’s) anything else to say other than it’s an unfortunate situation.”
Goodell’s words could easily be applied to the situation facing Cable, who is challenged with the task of bringing order to the chaos. There are no head coaches in the league who are also responsible for coaching a position group, but that’s what Cable will attempt to do in Oakland as he continues on as the de facto O-line coach.
It should be helpful to maintain continuity in O-line management as the Raiders work to protect QB JaMarcus Russell, but Cable’s focus in that one area will likely limit his ability to coordinate a complete game plan. In a way, sources say, it’s as if the team is without a head coach, which should only create more confusion in an already chaotic environment.
Since he arrived in Oakland, Kiffin’s top priority had been to change the culture of the club. It was beaten down and consumed by a losing mentality when he took over. His challenge was to reverse that mode of thinking, and most accounts suggest he had the squad on the right track before his ouster.
If Davis, or anyone else, believes the Raiders’ biggest problems left with Kiffin, he’s woefully mistaken. The long-anticipated coaching change has only compounded issues for the team, and Kiffin has the option of adding to the distractions.
Davis mentioned in the press conference that he was considering a “local personnel executive” to bolster a front office that has been lacking any stability since Bruce Allen defected to Tampa Bay to join Jon Gruden in January 2004.
The way we hear it, San Francisco director of pro personnel Tom Gamble is believed to be the mystery candidate, with Davis intrigued by his local presence and NFL bloodlines (his father, Harry, was once president of the Eagles). With 49ers GM Scot McCloughan’s father, Kent, having been a lifelong Raiders evaluator, we hear Gamble would not be blocked from skipping across the bay if he so desired, although the move more likely could come following the season.
Former Lions GM Matt Millen has also been recently connected to his former Raiders boss. However, it’s unlikely that Davis would be willing to compensate Millen anywhere near the same salary range in which he had been paid during a failed Detroit tenure. Many potential candidates around the league maintain that they would not entertain the Raiders’ position under any circumstances.
“It would take five million (dollars) per year for me to consider that job,” one veteran NFL front-office executive said, “and I would want it guaranteed in writing, with funds held by the attorney general. You can’t count on getting paid there.”

Post #493, previous post, (Don Al Davis), learn how to spell. It is maturity, not maturaty. You have a spell checker don’t you?
October 6th, 2008 at 11:34 am
In case you missed it the first time:
You can make the case that Kiffin is not a good coach. But, he may also turn out to be a great coach, that we will never know because of Davis’ meddling. It is the same old story with the Raiders; futility, dysfunctional behavior, and the stubbornness of a nearly eighty year old man, trapped in his own ego, that has destroyed the team that we all love, however irrational that may be. The entire sports world knows that Al Davis is a hindrance and that his organization will never succeed until he seizes to be the man in charge. Just today, Mike Dikta, while talking about the Miami Dolphins, said that (and I am paraphrasing) in order for a failed team to find success there must be a fundamental change in the team’s culture. Which, as we all know too well, begins at the top of the organization. The Dolphins seem to have turned things around because of Bill Parcels leadership. We need a similar change. Unfortunately, Al still believes he is a winner. He is not, however, and anyone else who still believes in the mystique of Al Davis is as delusional as he is.

Do you want to meet up in real life?
October 6th, 2008 at 11:38 am
John McCain and Sarah Palin = Al Davis and Lane Kiffin. Davis and McCain are both senile old “mavericks” who criticize the mainstream media. And, both have extremely poor judgment. Palin and Kiffin, both grossly inexperienced, were both desperate attempts to fix a sinking ship.

By the way Don, maybe I am a woman. What difference would that make? It is obvious by your asinine statement that you are a misogynist, not to mention a homophobe. Why are you so afraid of feminine qualities? Is it either because you are a closet homosexual who is desperately trying to suppress your true nature, or it is that you are afraid of the vagina. Which one is it?
October 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am
408, you need a niner jersey. Looks better on you when you’re shaking.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Chaos, you heard what I said earlier. We can meet up in real life and handle all of our little problems in here. So far, I’m the only one ready to step up. And, it’s funny, you guys are always calling me the “niner fan”. Who’s acting like it now? All you bitches are starting to get scared and back pedal.

What’s up fellas. Been awhile. Big week ahead. It’ll be interesting to see if the real Rob Ryan stands up now that his arch-nemesis Kiff is gone. It’ll be funny if our D plays lights out for the rest of the year for 4 quarters a game. Brees is the true test. He’s having a MVP like start to the season.

October 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I love how all of these Niner fans piled-on the Raiders last week on their flagship station. Meanwhile, their loser team will probably have the same record as the Raiders when it’s all said and done. Also, they love to talk about how crazy the Raider fans are, and what a horrible experience a game in Oakland is because of those fans. Well, I invite them, and all of you, to go to YouTube and type in “Drunk 49er fan” There, you will see one of these classy Niners fans taking on a cop. It doesn’t happen right away, but stick with it. It’s HeeeeF’nSterical!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
408 Raider, I was just joking with you. I just know it was you posting as MaddenRaider all morning, so I was a little upset. I apologize for the tough talk. If you don’t accept, I understand. But you’ll have to find me. I’d try every bar in Sacramento. I hit them all. By the time you get to me I’ll be so hammered that if you hit me really hard just one time, I’d probably piss all over myself. But whatever works for you.
Again, I’m sorry. Chaos, sorry to you to. Cypress… LOL. Yeh, sure. Be there in 6 hours.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
yep!

And, you’re crazy if you think we’re going to beat the Saints. But whatever. Fine. Nothing wrong with optimism. Go Raiders.

Did you see Tina Fey do Palin on SNL last week? Funny s’t.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Its time to get charged up! I know this weekend was a stinker, but were going to make our run starting this week with sweeeeeeet revenge against the Patriots! Chargers 27, Patsies 9. Chargers 11-5 Super Bowl Champions!!!!!!!!!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
408, I can deal with being retarded. But at least I try not to be. Thinking the Raiders are going to beat the Saints is pretty much caving into retardation, on the other hand.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Yeah I think were gonna win every game! So?
October 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
nice prediction 408. Raiders 3 headed monster will be healthier than in the previous 2 weeks. Cable takes the diaper off Jamarcus and gives him more confidence. Russell isn’t suited for the dink & dunk like McClown or Pennington.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
RaiderRockstar, I have not seen the movie, but I am aware of the film makers past work. He only makes movies for retards, which I suppose is fitting given that he has made a film promoting his right wing agenda.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Well, OK, 408. See where I’m going with this? You’re calling other people retarded while thinking the Raiders are going to win every game…
October 6th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
There is nothing more retarded than believing the Raiders will win out this season… Nothing.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
unfortunately we are still a mess and Tom Cable probably isnt gonna turn anything around. If Kiffin couldnt do it in a year and a half, then I doubt Cable will do it in 3 months, and we’ll be begging for someone to take the worst job in the NFL come the end of the season. Good luck “Temp For Hire”

can we get some depth on the o-line please?
our only backups are John Wade, Chris Morris and James Marten. right? 2 centers and a guy who just got cut by Dallas and doesn’t know the zone blocking system we run. uhhh then theres Mario Henderson i guess
anybody feel confident about this group?

Here is a review of American Carol from the Miami Herald:
I can’t imagine anyone — Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, red-state or blue-state, earthling or E.T. — finding An American Carol anything other than ‘not funny.’ And idiotic. And demeaning. And aggressively, persistently crummy.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:26 pm

why is a Charger fan on here? closet Raider fan waiting for us to win some games under new HC Tom Cable? it begins this Sunday homie

best movie of the month

October 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Raider Rockhead,
“Controlling healthcare” is a phrase meant to freak out the right wingnuts who think the govt. is the boogyman.
Government SHOULD adjust the health care system so that:
> uninsured can get health care before it is an emergency;
> drug companies have a reason to develop drugs that aren’t huge profit makers;
> doctors/hospitals make more money if their patients are healthy, not sick;
If you think the system is OK without government help, you are either really rich, and/or really young. The Neocons are clearly playing on your weak-minded fear of change. They don’t care about you, they care about rich health care providers. So don’t be so afraid…it’ll be OK.
Now if we can just move on to taking away all your guns…
October 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
there again you think you know me, not serious just bored with little kids in here
October 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
I know I’m being somewhat optimistic but I think we’ll win more games then we’ll loose the rest of the year. With that distraction out of the way we can only get better.
I like the idea of passing more on 1st and 2nd down as well. Time to see how far Jaymarc has really come. He sure hit Zack in stride with a perfect pass.

I’m staying until I get to read MR’s screenplay. Whatever happened to your movie MR?
__________________________________________________________
What do you mean what happened to it?? It got rejected like everything else about tard boy.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
ha ha, too many trolls in here
October 6th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
0525, no kidding man.
these kids need to put the comic books away and grandma needs to block the internet porn they’ve been devoted to. get out of the basements kids. go play outside, take a shower once in a while. make real friends, not warcraft online friends or myspace fakes
October 6th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
What sux about the coaching change the most, is if Tom cable gets fired, and he will, weve lost the best line coach weve had in years and it goes down hill from there. What good coach will come to Oakland now? No one!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Jerry whats up will the real fix?
October 6th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Obama thinks OJ Simpson & Michael Jackson are innocent
thinks Castro, Kim jung il and bid laden are justified in their causes
elect obama means set free osama
i take it you didn’t lose anybody when the towers dropped. never been to war. take what the tv says as truth. right?
October 6th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
It was gosh darn nice chatting with you all. I will come back when amateur hour is over.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
RaiderRockstar, read back, there hasn’t been anything of substance on here for a long time, every time someone brings up a topic the bash it because they aren’t mature enough to carry on a conversation that means anything…oh sorry trolls is substance too big of a word for you to understand.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
nice chatting with you too albert
i mean it wasn’t
i mean it was
i’m a christian errr muslim errr catholic errr terrorist
October 6th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Spurlock, I just told someone that last week when this all happened. He had a great job and did well now he’s in a no win situation….someone should of told him to be careful what you wish for!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Why would Obama think OJ and Jackson are innocent? Also, I can’t believe you are stupid enough to mention Bin Laden when your president has yet to catch the man who attacked the U.S. because he was too busy taking orders from Cheney.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
0525 you’re going to offend them
the only time they hear the word “substance” is when it has the word “abuse” directly following
October 6th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
god now he wants to get into politics
October 6th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
That is hilarious Rockstar. I don’t recall adding one iota of substance. Oh yeah, I forgot, you want us to go see American Carol. That is very substantive.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Paris Hilton has more “experience” than Obama
October 6th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Yeah they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he aint gonna die!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
albert
go watch AMERICAN CAROL
you might learn something
October 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
lol, thats true, I better becareful what I say
October 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
That is hilarious Rockstar. I don’t recall you adding one iota of substance. Oh yeah, I forgot, you want us to go see American Carol. That is very substantive.
Sorry, I made a typo. At least I own up to my mistakes.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
wow, look at that he used the word substance in a sentence…good boy I’m so proud of you. Now you can go and take your nap…bye bye
October 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Paris Hilton is more qualified to give her opinion on this blog than you are Rockstar.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Albert…bye, bye
October 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
0525
you forgot to put a space between becareful
you’re gonna get blasted now!
haha
October 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
I thought you were going away to cry Raider0525?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
I better slow down on my typing I don’t want to go down to his level, that would be pretty low
October 6th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Bye bye, gosh darn it, I am going to miss you guys. Oh well, I have to go practice being maviericky and all, you know.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
24-23 In OT. Janis wins it on a long field goal. And the Saints are still the Aint’s.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Nope this is too much fun. I can’t even take my own advice and leave you alone…too easy, but grab your blankie and take your nap
October 6th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Oh yea, one more thing: Saints 41, Raiders 19.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
408, I thought it was you posting under my name. That’s why I posted under yours, and started funking with you. I’m sorry about that.
Caribou Barbie, sorry I made fun of Palin’s handicapped kid. I was in the heat of the moment. It was over the top. Palin’s kid is innocent and I wish the best for the little guy. Palin, on the other hand, is the real retard. Just wanted to clear that up.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
So what you’re telling me OakGlenn, is that there will be no movie written by, and starring MR? I heard it was going to star Jerry Mathers as The MR, and Lance Kiffin as the beaver.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
albert & barbie would make a good couple.
your first date you should go see the movie AMERICAN CAROL
let me know what you think tomorrow on here
October 6th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
ouch that really hurts us, mostly because you’re leaving us, don’t say such bad things to us. You’ll hurt our feelings
October 6th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
OAKGLEEN IS THE BIGGEST TROLL OF THEM ALL. STFU OAKGLENN.
Notice how he just “popped” in.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
When did Obama say OJ was innocent Raider Rock Tard?
Nobody is happier right now that OJ is guilty than Obama. OJ walking again would probably put McLame right back into this thing.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
albert, while you’re gone don’t forget to change everything you stand for and believe in for the next speech. the guys you support are good at that
October 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
MR you are a complete idiot.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
You never answered my question about the OJ thing Rockstar?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Dakota, you’ve got to find something better to do with your time than sitting in here and trying to figure out who’s posting as who. I’ll admit I posted as 408 Raider. Somebody was posting as me all morning and he happened to be here, and he’s also always had a problem with me. I still think it was him. But if he doesn’t want to own up to it, fine. But I’ve never posted under Oakglenn. At least not today. Not yet.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
One leaves one comes in…hmmmmm I wonder
October 6th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Got something you want to say to me, Blanda?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Sorry 24-21
October 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Since you are too cowardly to answer my question Rockstar, I am going to assume you made that untrue statement about Obama because you are a racist.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
why post as someone different????? Grow the fuc up!!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
MR there isn’t ONE single person on this blog that likes you, listens to you, takes you seriously, or even wants you here, so the question I ask, is WHY ARE YOU HERE?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
F’n geek squad in here, I swear, with all of this speculation as to who’s posting as who. Your guys’ lives are sad.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
I like MR.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
OK MR just remember this.. I Only Post as 408RAIDER.. I will never use your name or any1’s.. Were as good as we ever were dude.
ps I do think your funny sometimes…
October 6th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
I think I said it jack a$$, or can’t your dumb a$$ read?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
I am still waiting for your answer Rockstar. Are you not going to defend your self.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Dakota, ditto you. It’s just that I know it and I don’t care. Think I give a rats ass if these dorks like me? I just enjoy getting a rise out of them. I’m a Raider fan, against Al Davis, heavily, and love to stir up s’t with his loyal minions. Their approval isn’t necessary. And neither is yours. You’re probably the biggest loser in here, and I’m not the first to say it.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
It is official. Raider Rockstar is a racist.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Get a room 408… Cuz you just sucked MR off.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Get over the Kiffin fiasco….the team and fans need to focus on FOOTBALL and FINISHING games!
Most us already know that Old Man Al needs to go and that he is the problem!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Blanda, get laid.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Raider Rockstar is a racist, and I win the debate. I will leave now, unless that coward draws me back in. Goodbye.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Blanda, speaking of sucking off, have you ever had a b.j.? I’ll bet you that you haven’t.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
MR so let me get this right:
1. You admit you are an idiot
2. You like pissing people off
3. You like pissing your pants
4. You live with your mom
About right?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Good maybe if Albert leaves 3 or 4 will have to go with him
October 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Take care guys, see you in the am
October 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Dakota, what I said was that I don’t care what any of these dorks think of me. You, more than once, have been called out for being a loser who dwells in this s’t hole all day and night. You’re always here. Always. Every time I log on I see your name in the new comments section. Get a life. Go have sex with that disgusting heffer you married. Get off of the internet for at least a few minutes. Come up for air.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
so I predict jerry comes with the new fix @ around 3:30….
October 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
IF MR or Oakglenn left, about 20 monikers or personas would go with them. Would be much quiter in here without those two idiot trolls.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Later 0525……
October 6th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Al Davis is an idiot. He should have let Walker go when he wanted to quit. JLH should be starting at wideout.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I’m here to antagonize the Davis worshipers. I’ve admitted that from day one. And, I aint going nowhere. MR leaves when Davis leaves. It’s that simple. I’d get used to that, Dakota. If it bothers you, get offline for a change. Order a porn flick on comcast. Do something other than post in here, ALL DAY LONG!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Dakota, if you left, the place would probably fall silent. There’s probably times where you’re the only person in here. You’re here 24/7. Dakota, name one hobby of yours other than commenting at this blog. Just one.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
MR, I love you. I think you are hilarious.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
MR you not only antagonize Davis worshipers, but you annoy the FUK out of the rest of us. Leave for the sake of man kind you demon.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Blanda, now you’re posting under 408? What is wrong with you? I’m serious about the b.j. Have you ever had one? Ever had a girlfriend, blanda? Ever have a couple of chicks fight over you? Know what that’s like? Me and 408 do. I guarantee you that. I know the dude. You’ve never even hooked up with a chick, have you, Blanda?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
hey tard you forgot the hyperlink! Get it right Tard boy!!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Dakota and MR are my two favorite posters. They are like Batman and the Joker. If we lost one, the entire universe would collapse in on us.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Dakota, why should I care if a bunch of dorks are annoyed by me? The mission is to antagonize the Davis worshipers. Mission accomplished. Everything else is a small price to pay. I could understand if any of you were witty enough of writers to put up a fight with me, but that’s obviously not the case. In the land of the unassertive, the aggressive is King. Now bow down, you fat redneck.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Blanda, ever have a woman tell you she needs it? Ever gotten a call from a chick at 3 am? Ever have women do freaky s’t in bed with you, asking you if your other girlfriend does it that good? It’s sad you don’t know what that’s like, but hey, there’s always porn and hookers, right?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
0525 and albert are both gone?
sheesh. i leave for 10 min to get some work done
October 6th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
now i’m a racist? wow. it’s getting deep in here
albert = jesse jackson?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
You are a racist Rockstar. What was with that OJ sh*t?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
it’s true man. read the papers
October 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
where’s your source b*tch?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
making comments like “if Obama was white he’d be less popular than Ralph Nader” is truth. thats not racist
October 6th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
what’s with the name calling goon?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
who supported Art Shell? I did
who’s my fav basketball player? Allen Iverson
who’s racist? you little Kiffin supporter. your fav player is prob Steve Nash
October 6th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
If it sounds like a racist republican f*ck, and it smells like a racist republican f*ck, then it probably is a racist republican f*ck.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Where is your source?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
uhhh… leave your swearing at the door homie
your obviously one of the blind following the blind
go back to posting on your terrorist website
October 6th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Typical Republican crap. You spread lies without any source to back it up. Then you repeat it enough until to the ignorant people believe it.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
This Rockstar guy is a clown. Every time someone calls him out, he runs away.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
it was a joke cupcake. see the michael jackson comment too
it was a comment making him sound like an idiot, because he is one
October 6th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Cole Ford drives a ford. crappy vehicles
October 6th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
http://www.yahoo.com/s/965821
October 6th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Yeah, it may be a joke, but you are insinuating that Obama would side with OJ and Jackson just because he is black. You only see Obama as a black man. Maybe racist is too strong a word to label you with, but I would still say you are slightly ignorant. And that may be giving you too much credit.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Have you seen the Almighty Bunghole? Lead me to the Almighty Bunghole!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
What is that link for 408?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Wow, Rockstar runs off again. What a p*ssy!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
not because he is black Cole. you threw that in there. i said because he’s an idiot. you made that connection on your own
want me to put bad white people on that list instead of OJ & MJ? how about Ted Kazinski or Scott Peterson?
feel better?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
you guys are so sensitive it’s stupid. grow some ballz
October 6th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
LOL at post 199 & 206. He ran off on me last time too. We were all giving him so many facts showing why McCain would be such a bad pick. He couldn’t dispute any of it. Poor little ignorant pr1ck!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
all you guys do is call names. how does that make you so supreme?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
None of you are representing Raider Football intelligently. What’s wrong with you people?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
stop the ignorance shows his ignorance
October 6th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
you’re right Reggie.
Thank you!
i’m done for the day
back to working
October 6th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Who’s saying nasty things about my boss? Didn’t Kawakami warn you about that?
“Get your f’kin hands off me!”
October 6th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Do not underestimate the power of the Almighty Bunghole!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
RaiderRockstar, you talked about obama quite a bit, but what do you know about the bush family? Bush family can be linked directly with osama, and the german SS, as well as being apart of funding the hitler war machine.
repubs are no better than dems, actually they are the same. both will do the bidding of the masters.
All USA presidents = puppets.
Banksters = string pullers.
rupubs, and demos = shepple that think they make a diffrence, or useless eaters.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
What’s up people?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
next president will be the fall guy for what ails the USA.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
DoneDeal= knows what time it is
October 6th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Forget that most dont understand the USA is nothing but a place for England’s bad kids
October 6th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
The queen owns your ass but most think they are free lol
October 6th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Post# 213 - “you’re right Reggie.”
Really? Are you serious? You’re the one always bringing up politics in a Raider forum. We just happen to respond to it because we know your opinions are full of Sh1t!
So long as you’re agreeing with Reggie, why don’t you follow his advice? Stop the political crap!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Anyhow……….hopefully NO wins tonight. I dont need them in a must win game Sunday morning
October 6th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
takes 1.78 us dollars to make a british pound.
Brien = Allways enlighting.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
NO is going to smash tonite, but be slowed by a raider freight train on sunday.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
whats up raider nation brothers….
like ive said before….
WE WILL BE ABLE WITH CABLE….
I STILL SAY 8-8…..MAYBE EVEN 9-7
COUNT ON IT!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
DoneDeal= enlightened as well!!! We will just sit back and watch the drama ensue very soon. No one knows what rude awakening they are in for so let’s just drink and smoke watch these crazy ass Raiders then DIE
October 6th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Russell needs to put himself back into Jan 2007 in the Sugar Bowl frame of mind
October 6th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
post 227, funny as all hell but true. I hope obama doesnt win, they will make him an example and a fall guy. kinda like a 2 for 1.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
You 2 lovebirds (Brien and DoneDeal) done with the man lovefest?
I’d like to talk some football. We’re going to stomp Brees into the grass. Our offense will get untracked and our defense will dominate!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
i want to see russell more vocal. crack some heads like gannon. know hes not that type but man he needs to shake it up.
What is up with Javon Walker? Is he out of kiffins puppy house.
I wonder if we will see more of the rookies, chaz, and watkins?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
post 230, thtas some funny ish. ok i back on football.
relax have a cream soda.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Walker is a POS! Trust me, I work in the front office and see the practices from time to time. The old man should have let him retire. But don’t tell him I said that! Sshhhhhh!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
post 230 spoken like a true idiot……..move on
October 6th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Donedeal………… the cream soda he gets is directly from Fairy Rice’s snatch
October 6th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Mmmmmm……Cream Soda…..
Actually, I’m in the mood for onion rings and some Hefeweizen.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
MR,
Post #25 = Brutal. Yikes.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
JLH, Chaz and Watkins deserve more time. Walker is an unknown but if he is ready to play it will make the team much better
October 6th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Did any of you guys watch the miami game. They ran the wild hog all over the dis-chargers. would like to see us do some of that. brown and williams were to much to handle.
Best play of the night brown trucks cromartie = priceless.
Mc fadden should not see the field until 100% healed.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
MR is beyond comical. I rather enjoy his posts
October 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Brien - wow. Did your husband just run out on you. Poor baby. Looking for another mate, ay? Well, you may want to try match.com. Actually, craigslist will probably be good enough for someone like you.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Dmac should have been rested after the KC game. What’s the point in further injury?

we will stop him and it will be sweet.
cable will be 1-0 and on his way to a bright future with the raiders no matter what anyone says.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
wonder whos bright ideaw as it to play mc fadden when bush was more than capable.
Do we know how long mc fadden will be down. Fargas looks like he will be ready this week.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Yawwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn……a gold rush 49er cheerleader like yourself seems to have a better handle on those sites than I
October 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Yep - I thought we should have run a little more (I like the passing - don’t get me wrong) against those chokers. Then again, Run DMC was hurt, Fargas was out, and Bush was running like he was holding his baby. He looked real worried about fumbling.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Bill Parcells is showing what competent management means to a football team.
Pay attention cult followers. Some of you can be saved.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Brien<——–just doesn’t like Farglass at all. He does play hard but I’m not a big fan of him.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Wow, I see I must have been posting comments in my sleep all day….
….or there is a troll in the house.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
running like that does cut into your ypc
October 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Post 244. I agree and I think we can rattle Brees. Hopefully we can keep up the pressure all game.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Bill Parcells and Al Davis= great great friends
October 6th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
whats up dakota
October 6th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Players play this game
October 6th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Dakota……..there is always next year. Keep your head up
October 6th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Brien - I’m willing to put your homo tendencies aside if you are.
Ok, let’s talk about football and about your last comment. Why don’t you like Fargas exactly?
Yes, he’s injury prone, but the guy is fearless. Never backs down. In my opinion, a true Raider.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
STR,
Not much, just getting ready to end another great day of work, thought I would step in and chat, but I see I have been here all day!
How are you doing?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Raiders need the entire secondary to be on point this Sunday. Offensively we should move the ball but the key is getting touchdowns when you are in the redzone. Kicking field goals has you 1-3 instead of 3-1 and that’s the damn truth.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
ZZZZZZZZZZZZ homo is coming under the name John Herrera. The joke you are trying to pull off is not working. Go back to the drawing board.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Interesting matchup for the Tackles having to deal with the good DEs the Saints have. Kwame Harris is just not it at LT
October 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Fargas is like me. Do what it takes to get the job done. Have a problem with a reporter? Call my name. By the way, if I wasn’t afraid of being sued, I would have dropped his azz!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
doing good, i just got home from work and felt the urge to chime in.
hey hows your boy doing? is he still without power?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
