Alright, I haven’t slit my wrists or gone into a funk since the end of the live blog on Monday night. I just want to set the record straight on that front before anyone starts using the term ’sensitive’ about me…uh…hold on, I think it might be too late for that. However, I’m alive and well and completely finished with any and all ‘feelings’ that I may have had on Tuesday morning....Alright, I haven’t slit my wrists or gone into a funk since the end of the live... more

As you can see, MVN still has us up and running. As far as we know, we could be down at any time, but until that we’ll continue to report about your Oakland Raiders. From what we’ve been told, we could go down for site maintenance at any time, so if you can’t get to our site that’s probably what’s going on...As you can see, MVN still has us up and running.

Does anyone remember this?
“He is a phenomenal player, but I don’t really think running back is a need for us.“
“We don’t have a lot of picks. We have the N choice overall, which is significant. We could trade down, obviously. We’d love to continue to work on our defensive line. There are a couple of really good defensive lineman that may be available at 4.“Does anyone remember this?

Preseason games are nothing more than a double edged sword for coaches. One edge, the blunt one, is the improvement of the team and for getting everyone on the same page prior to the season. The other edge, the sharp one...Preseason games are nothing more than a double edged sword for coaches. One edge, the... more

As the Raiders prepare for preseason game two, they are also packing up in their ‘off time.’ Camp ends after two practices Wednesday, and then they’ll prepare for flight to Tennessee where they’ll face the Titans. The Titans are the only team to outrush the Raiders in the NFL’s first full week of preseason action...As the Raiders prepare for preseason game two, they are also packing up in their... more

“It’s just been a situation that unfortunately we haven’t brought guys in. I can control what I can control, come out here every day and get our guys as good as we can. I’m pleased with the top of our roster, but we need to add to the bottom of our roster. We need more competition.“ - Lane Kiffin
What does that mean?... “It’s just been a situation that unfortunately we haven’t... more

It looks like I’m going to have to get used to spelling yet another last name. According to Jerry McDonald, Adam Archuleta has been signed by the Raiders to take the place of injured safety and return man, Tyvon Branch. Branch suffered a hand injury during the first preseason game that requires surgery. According to the report, Greg Wesley may be the victim of the free agent signing...It looks like I’m going to have to get used to spelling yet another last name.... more

I keep hearing from both 49er and Raiders fans that the game means nothing. Nothing? Like pretty much everything in life, I guess it’s all in the perspective that you look at it from. If you’re looking at it from a ‘bragging rights’ point of view, then it only means something if your team wins the game....I keep hearing from both 49er and Raiders fans that the game means nothing.

As a Raider fan, I’m sure that there are many stories that you’re probably tired of hearing about. Take for instance the story about the Raiders record over the past five years, or the fact that they didn’t draft Matt Leinert when they had the chance, or even that dreadfull 2006 season when Tom ‘bed and breakfast’ Walsh ran the offense into the ground with the help of Art Shell, Irv Eatman, and Jackie Slater...As a Raider fan, I’m sure that there are many stories that you’re probably... more

By all accounts, the practice on Tuesday was light and done in soft pads. Many of the starters played cheerleader as they sat on the sidelines giving those practicing funny words of discouragement. For those of you that don’t live within a 100 mile radius of Oakland, be thankful. The game has been officially labeled a blackout game since it didn’t sell out meaning anyone within that radius will wait until 10pm for television...By all accounts, the practice on Tuesday was light and done in soft pads.

So now we wait. Friday can’t come soon enough for the Raider Nation to get its first glimpse of their 2008 Oakland Raiders, ‘glimpse’ being the operative word. The first preseason game is not a game for fans to get good long looks at most of the players that will be starting on opening day, but there will be a series of plays to go....So now we wait. Friday can’t come soon enough for the Raider Nation to get its... more

As reported earlier, Javon Walker became big news Saturday. When ESPN’s Chris Mortensen broke the news about his attempted retirement, we decided to take a ‘wait and see’ approach to the news. Even though it’s rare that Mortensen whiffs, when it comes to the Raiders ESPN has a way of turning into BS-spin...As reported earlier, Javon Walker became big news Saturday.
