I definitely walked on the wild side during
the first 30 years of my life. Nothing I've...
ever done, however, has been more dangerous than what I did this past Sunday. I ventured into the Coliseum for the sold out Kansas City Chiefs- Oakland Raiders game decked out from head to toe in Chiefs apparel.

The Oakland Raiders became the most recent team
to use their franchise tag as they placed it...

With the Oakland Raiders’ flurry of activity thus
far this offseason, the biggest question on most Raider...
fans’ minds has been “What is going to happen with Nnamdi Asomugha?” Al Davis made Asomugha an “exclusive rights” franchise player meaning that he gets a one year tender equal to the average of the top five players at his position for 2008 (approximately $10 million), but he can’t even ...

ball. today the focus shifts to the defense. The Raiders have made a lot of noise on that side of the ball franchising Nnamdi Asomugha, re-singing Tommy Kelly to a mammoth contract, and adding Gibril Wilson and DeAngelo Hall. The only departures thus far are are Tyler Brayton and Warren Sapp. This has been an ...

One thing that the 2007 season showed is
that despite the improvement there are still gaping holes...
in the Raiders’ squad that need to be filled. The offense showed a renewed spark in the 2007 season, but the defense underperformed expectations. With the drafting of JaMarcus Russell and Zach Miller, and the addition of Tom Cable and the zone blocking scheme, the Raiders have a core in offense ...

There can be no doubt that the Raiders

first order of business will be locking down Nnamdi Asomugha and Justin Fargas to long term deals, followed closely by ensuring that important role players like Jarrod Cooper will return next year. Once the Raiders have gotten those players taken care of, it will be time to attack the holes on their ...

There are about three weeks left until the

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. Nnamdi Asomugha, Justin Fargas, Jarrod Cooper, Chris Clemons, and Jerry Porter among others are free ...

The Raiders will return their leading rusher from

resigned with the Oakland Raiders keeping him off the free agent market. This is a good move by the team to lock up their most productive player on offense before he can get a chance to test the free agent market. With Fargas locked up, the Raiders can devote their attention to defensive back ...

Thanks to Raider X and L Dizzle both
for their recent contributions to Thoughts from the Dark...
Side. I just got back from a couple of days in Santa Cruz feeling rested and refreshed. It appears that the Oakland Raiders went full bore and made Nnamdi Asomugha an exclusive rights franchise player meaning that he can’t even talk to other teams and will have a much higher tender. The Raiders staff ...

Raider X has emerged from the witless protection
program to offer his thoughts on the Oakland Raiders’...
blockbuster trade for DeAngelo Hall. He takes some time to wonder whether Fabian Washington, Stanford Routt or Stuart Schweigert will be the odd man out in the Raiders’ remade secondary, or is this a sign that Nnamdi Asomugha may be the one on his way out.

Usually, when the NFL announces their rule changes
for the year I roll my eyes and say...
here they go again screwing up the game. This year, I am stoked that they amended the “push out” rule so that it doesn’t matter whether or not a defensive player pushes the receiver out of bounds. This change removes at least one judgment call from the officials, which in turn makes it so the game will be more
