Denver Broncos
Head coach Mike Shanahan is professing, enacting and experiencing change within what is essentially now his organization. Like another ‘Change’ for the better that’s echoing from the field of Mile High stadium, this too is one we can be skeptical of at best.
Shanahan is going in to his 14th season at the helm trying to reverse a downward trend in recent years which has resulted in the Broncos’ first losing season (7-9) since 1999....

Pivotal questions for teams in the NFL’s AFC West

Now, we’re not necessarily knocking the great competitive athletic event among men and women who come from all nations and compete in a spirit of sports'person'ship, good faith and mutual respect, regardless of political, economic and cultural differences …

we need to start good this year as show the nfl that the raiders are indeed back, and to show the raider faithful that good things come to those who wait, and wait, and wait, and...

Here's to me, writing my first blog ever. I'm a rookie in every sense of the word, and most likely a late round draft pick with as much potential as Jonathan Holland (who?). While I may never become the Marques Colston of blogging, I'll do my best to become, at least, a solid starter in the mold of Ronald Curry. I can't be any worse than the "vaunted" Raider offensive line. Right? We'll see...
Anyway, back to the subject at hand - our pride and joy (thanks SRV) - Jamarcus...
College mathematics students analyzed a quantitative analysis
comparing selected career statistics of Jerry Rice and Warren Wells.
They created a model for each player by graphing a
piecewise defined function connecting ranks and then
used integration to find the area under the piecewise
linear curves. The students asked, "Why hasn't Wells
been considered as a nominee to the Hall of Fame since
he ranks No. 1 in two of the seven categories in...
1) Oakland Raiders. Darren Mcfadden and JaMarcus Russell are going to lead this team to greatness and the Raiders will go 14-2 this year as they look Super bowl bound...
Kidding, but one day soon I hope they'll be atop the west. SD Chargers are obviously the #1 team here, and have one of the most stacked teams in terms of talent. On offense they have arguably the best running backs in the game, along with one of the better tight ends. Phillip Rivers basically got handed a playoff...
I have mulled over the passing of Gene Upshaw for the last day or so, and I have listened to the different takes on his life and legacy. As a player, he had no equal. As an administrator of the directives of the Players Association, he has been both villified and praised. I don't think there is much more that can be offered on those issues. He was great in his time next to Shell, and he impacted the game significantly as an exec, for good or for bad.
edchrist666 is finally here, i love the raiders and i breathe and bleed silver and black.
its sad to see the raider great GENE UPSHAW pass way to soon, and he will be missed by the raider family and the raider nation, one and the same.
it is good to be on this page with so many others with taste and pride.
CHEERS TO THE RAIDER NATION!!!!!
BEER AND OAKLAND RAIDER FOOTBALL, ASSES TO THE MASSES!!!!!
Gene Upshaw, the Hall of Fame guard who as union head helped get NFL players free agency and the riches that came with it, has died. He was 63.
Upshaw's death was announced by the NFL Players Association, which he headed for a quarter century.
His outstanding 15-season playing career was entirely with the Oakland Raiders and included two Super Bowl wins and seven Pro Bowl appearances. Upshaw's biography was posted on the front page of the Hall of Fame...
