The following article is about a few ideas I have pondered over the course of an non-determinable period of time. Firstly, I have long thought that the Raiders should drop "Oakland" from the name, and just say, "Golden State," which I think would attract more fans to the home-games. Secondly, I might be in the minority on this one, but I think the "Back in Black" theme song should be changed.  I once wrote that it should be changed to...  

The Browns brought in Mike Holmgren last week, much to the delight of the majority of fans. Then, we found out that Brady Quinn was going on the injured reserve and that Derek Anderson would be back under center. Darn it! On a side note, snow is expected to fall throughout the game, though not too much. OAKLAND RAIDERS (5-9) WEEK 16 CLEVELAND BROWNS (3-11) VS. Date: December 27, 2009 Location: Cleveland, OH Time: 1:00 p.m. ET...  

It would have been easy had the Raiders closed the season as they had started it.  Take a 2-7 Raiders team, end with three or four wins and the real work could begin.  A housecleaning that would see the team shopping for a coach, a quarterback, and possibly looking for another guy to earn the featured back role.  Essentially, it would be a full purge and reset of an underachieving squad that has disappointed for seven years straight. Instead...  

The Dallas Cowboys host the Oakland Raiders on their annual Thanksgiving Day game. The Oakland Raiders come into Dallas riding high off their comeback win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Bruce Gradkowski is now the starting quarterback for the Raiders and played efficiently last week (17-for-34, 183 yards, two TDs and one INT) This week Gradkowski will try to play better than the last time he faced the Cowboys. In 2006 as the QB for the Tampa...  

You have to admit, Robert Gallery is a deep-down blue collar Raider. Here is a guy the Raiders had hanged their hats on as a tackle, but then found a second life as a guard. He played his position well, with some murmurings that he should make a pro bowl selection, if the Raiders can win games. Now, the Raiders are going to be forced, to win without him. Gallery, did not want to go quietly, insisting that he needed a second opinion to the...  

PITTSBURGH — Louis Murphy caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Bruce Gradkowski with nine seconds remaining, his second score in the final 5 1/2 minutes, and the Oakland Raiders scored three late touchdowns to stun Pittsburgh 27-24 on Sunday and deal the Steelers their fourth consecutive loss. The Steelers (6-6), in danger of missing the playoffs after winning the Super Bowl for a second time in four seasons, went ahead 24-20 on Ben...  

On a day were we as people, we are reminded of things we are thankful for, the Oakland Raiders yet again remind us why there is no need to thank them for this season. This was supposed to be a chance for us to show the nation some, or any progress we have made through the first 11 weeks of the 2009-2010 season, yet once again we were let down by the team we support. It's not that we expect championship performances (rolls eyes) each week from...  

In the NFL great safeties are a luxury and teams with two great safeties are few and far between. Great safetie tandems are a QB's worst nightmare...Well, maybe second worst behind the second coming of Lawrence Taylor. Great safety play usually dictates dominant defensive play. Last year the three teams with the most productive safeties were Tennessee (11 INTs and 153 tackles), Baltimore (10 INTs 110 tackles) and Pittsburgh (8 INTs 160 tackles...

Am I lucky or what? One of my calculus students surprised me with his comments on Wednesday night before class. He said, "Guess what, Professor? I flew to Oakland and attended the game on Sunday." I was surprised. I had just read a comment from a neuromuscular dentist and I was surprised at the student's comment about the Oakland Raiders. He continued by telling me that he and his guest sat in the best seats at the stadium. After the game, he...
