News that All Pro caliber cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha probably won't reach a long term agreement this year shouldn’t have Raider fans too worried, nor the news of a possible "camp hold out" when the Raiders begin to convene July 24th.
No biggie.
All part of a larger plan.
Fans lamented the large contracts doled out seemingly willie nillie...

2007 NFL regular season

Week One

With no time outs QB Jay Cutler moves the Broncos into position to try a field goal.

With 8 seconds on the clock Jason Elam hurries the Bronco special teams unit onto the field and boots a game winning field goal, propelling Denver to a 15-14 victory over the Buffalo Bills as time runs out.

Week Two

After tying the game in regulation, Elam seizes the victory, kicking a 23 yarder in overtime,...

One thing players and its union have in common with owners is the desire for money.

Who gets it and who should has been a bone of contention especially in recent years with billions in revenue being generated.

Since the Paul Tagliabue sell off and even before, the tone and consistency of the game has changed from one of pride and honor to one of greed and selfishness.

Not exactly great news for a so called “team” sport.

Whether the retirement...

Some of the hostility immediately following the unfortunate incident involving Raider wide out Javon Walker may have been exacerbated by the fact Oakland, just like Walker, has struggled in recent years.

Fans watched a once proud Silver and Black standard plummet from the lofty heights of the new Millenium to a 5 year skid of embarrassment and frustration.

Wary of and unsure if Al Davis is a genius or mad man, Raider fans were left dizzy from an off season spending...

For those of you ready to show Javon the door, a little perspective...

Javon being victimized and robbed is much different from the bar related activities and felonius behavior his fellow NFL players have been involved in recently and in years past...

Kwame Harris is a highly intelligent and multi talented Stanford man who plays classical piano and violin.

A renaissance man, ala Rosie Greer.

The Jamaican born Harris, selected 26th overall in the 2006 Draft has been considered a bust by many Niner fans and yes there are youtube vids of him whiffing on pass protection and drawing flags like pre schoolers on Veterans day, but can he turn it around and salvage his career...

In 2006, Javon Walker spent his New Years eve, not celebrating, but cradling Denver Bronco DB Darrent Williams as he lay dying.

Walker was the only other Bronco in a Hummer sprayed with bullets at a Denver night club only hours after their season had ended.

Dazed, Walker showed up blood stained at the teams headquarters hours later. Though he had faced adversity before, nothing had or could, have prepared him for this.

In 2006 Walker found himself in...

6-5, 315 lb. Haitian born William Joseph has struggled since being selected 25th over all by the New York Giants in the 2003 draft.

Interestingly enough, so has the man drafted after him, offensive tackle Kwame Harris, taken by the 49ers and now joining Joseph for the 2008 campaign with the Oakland Raiders.

The former University of Miami line man may have gotten off on the wrong foot in NY posting the longest hold out for a Giants 1st round pick since 1995. He eventually...

What does Oakland Raider Corner back Chris Johnson have in common with Devin Hester, Pac Man Jones and Deion Sanders?

Prime University.

Prime U is an informal camp held by Sanders this off season at SMU for some very lucky young high school athletes (Including Deion's son) and NFL players looking to take their game to the next level. Johnson, Hester, Jones and others were attendees at this years get together.

The 28 yr old Johnson, a 6th year Pro, started...

Most think he's already got one foot out the door sighting his under production, injury history and hefty contract, but there are compelling reasons and signs Jordan might stay in Silver and Black.

Jordan missed most of last year and in 2006, but has been in 97 regular season games over the past 7 years. Its only in the last 2 he's been MIA, but his production in 2005 seems a long time ago.

Jordan signed as a free agent from the...
