Raiders in 2008. Kiffin and Greg Knapp interviewed James Lofton today for a job as a position coach. No way Al Davis would have a coach he wasn’t keeping in on an interview. Now the focus is on resigning players like Jarrod Cooper, Nnamdi Asomugha, and Justin Fargas so the Raiders can decide who to ...
There can be no doubt that the Raiders
have gaping holes to fill this offseason. While the

Once the Raiders have gotten those players taken care of, it will be time to attack the holes on their ...

the Raiders about three weeks to decide what they are doing with their own free agents, and that will set the table for the type of players they will target once the free agent signing period starts.

Hunter S. Thompson once said, “the Raider Nation
is beyond doubt the sleaziest and rudest and most
sinister mob of thugs and wackos ever assembled.” That fits with the image that the Raider Nation takes pride in, which leads to the stereotype that in order to be a Raider fan you need to be either a criminal or in a psycho ward. Nothing could be further from the truth of the essence of the ...
