Yes, I said zero points in the second half for Kobe.On Thu... Read Full Story

Is all hope lost to salvage this season?Honestly, it is really starting to look like the season is lost unless they decide to switch quarterbacks in my opinion. JEFF GARCIA COMEBAAAAAACKK!The Raiders running game isn't all that bad. Yes, they don't have a great runner like Adrian Peterson, Frank Gore or even Ahmad Bradshaw, but the combination of Michael Bush and Darren McFadden will get it done when the second year back comes back healthy in a few weeks.In the meantime though they need to ge...

Last year's NBA2K9 was arguably one the best NBA video games in a long time! It hard to best games previous due to the fact that a new one comes out every single year, but the 2K franchise has been making excellent NBA games going all the way back to 2000 when it revolutionized the sports gaming industry with NBA 2K.I still remember playing NBA 2K all those years ago on my Sega Dreamcast of all things and absolutely loving it, so much so that my thumbs and eyes were killing me after playing f...

Where did this move come from? Good news for the Raiders, but why would the Patriots do something this drastic, this close to week one?Obviously the Oakland Raiders have been in somewhat of a desperation mode for quite some time now as they try to get back to dominant status in the AFC, but why the New England Patriots would want to get rid of a five time Pro Bowler like Richard Seymour is beyond me.The Raiders will definitely get an upgrade at their defensive line with the addition of Richar...

It is no secret that the Oakland Raiders are one of the most troubled NFL franchises in the league if not the most troubled franchise. One of the main reasons for the Raiders troubles has been the combination wacky NFL owner in Al Davis and bad decisions with team personnel.Over the past couple of seasons the Raiders have had nothing, but bad publicity.
