Training camp opened today, if this was baseball,
it would be time for a long winded essay
by George Will as read by Bob Costas about hope springing eternal and all those other cliches that are part of Americana. This is football, however, and instead of waxing poetically about new beginnings the Raider Nation is preparing their spikes and face paint to get hyped. So far, there is good news in ...
Some quick hits from Lane Kiffin’s press briefing
with the media following a closed team conditioning test
and preceeding the Raiders’ first practice of training camp: – All present and accounted for except running back LaMont ...
A league source tells us that the anticipated
Friday showdown between the Raiders and running back LaMont
Jordan won’t happen. Instead, we’re told that the Raiders will release or trade Jordan in the very near future. If he’s ...
Oakland Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha will be to
training camp on time as he has decided to
sign a one-year, $10 million dollar contract. "I'm going to go in to camp focused and play the year out and see what happens," he commented via a text message.
Here are the top ten reasons why Greg
Wesley is a perfect fit for the Oakland Raiders
… 10. Al Davis gives bonus incentives for dreds. 9. G-Wes has been a black hole for our defense for years. Now he has the Black Hole cheering for him. ...
On Friday, August 15th the 66th Mob is
going to be sponsoring a fund raiser for “Autism
Speaks” at Sidelines Bar and Grill in Modesto, CA. That will be the day that Jarrod Cooper and the rest of the Raiders’ special teams will be sticking it to Chris Carr and the Tennessee Titans. It will be a chance to help a great cause and watch the Raiders tune up for the regular season.
CNN SI is reporting that Nnamdi Asomugha is
intending to sign his one year tender, show up
to camp and be ready for a great season. Raider Nation can now breathe a huge sigh of relief, well sort of. There’s still the business of signing Asomugha long term and if this report is true, it’s another reason as to why the Raiders can’t afford to let him get away. Since the Raiders have moved back to ...
Nnamdi Asomugha had eight interceptions in 2006 and
one in 2007.
(07-23) 18:36 PDT -- The agent for Raiders
running back LaMont Jordan confirmed his client was told
not to report to the team's opening day of training camp in Napa, even though the eight-year veteran has two years remaining on his contact. According ...
It’s being reported that the Oakland Raiders have
told Lamont Jordan to stay away from training camp.
This is the second straight camp that the Raiders have informed their former starter that his services wouldn’t be necessary to the team. So what do the Raiders do now? They can either hold on to Jordan hoping for a trade and drop him during the final cuts, or they could cut him now and...
First off, I would like to apologize to
you all for my own absence from TFDS. I
have been dealing with some major stuff in my personal life, and haven’t really been able to focus. Rather than pound something out tonight, expect me to resume tomorrow, here that loved and hated denizen of the Dark Side, L-Dizzle, with his very own power rankings.
Americans like to think they're the best at
everything. We think we're number one and everyone should
just recognize and accept it. This is when reality kicks in. It's a bitch sometimes. Europeans wipe their asses with our dollars and Australian athletes continue to run laps around Americans when it comes to drunken debauchery. We have our exceptions like our namesake, Lawrence Phillips and ...
Well so much for dumping Jordan to have
more cap room to sign more free agents. With
little fan fare, the Raiders inked former starting free safety, Greg Wesley. Wesley will join a group of safeties vying for a backup job with the Raiders. In order to do that, he’s going to have to beat out rookie Tyvon Branch, special teams ace Jarrod Cooper, and former backup-turned starter-turned backup, ...
In the days leading up to the first
day of training camp, I’ll review the state of
the rest of the AFC West and how they match up with the Raiders, as well as all Raiders position groups heading into the first practice on July 24. Today’s ...
The Oakland Raiders are reporting on their website
that they have added Mexico City native, Mauricio Lopez.
Lopez is a 6′1″ 325 pound defensive tackle and will be on the team’s practice squad for the entire 2008 season. Lopez is one of the top 16 international players from around the world that will be taking part as part of an NFL team as part of the NFL’s International Practice Squad Program.
The NFL season is approaching quickly, and with
that, EZB will be providing previews of each division
in the league. Up today: the AFC West.
Veteran safety Greg Wesley’s first career foray into
free agency didn’t last long. A league source tells
us that Wesley has signed a one-year deal with the Oakland Raider, only days after he was cut by the Chiefs. Though Wesley likely ...
By now, you all must have heard about
the trade between the Dolphins and the Redskins sending
Jason Taylor north for a second round pick in the 2009 draft. Taylor needed to get out of Miami, the Dolphins needed to get value for the longtime veteran, and the Redskins needed a replacement for Phillip Daniels who just suffered a season ending ACL tear. Misfortune, like that of Daniels and the ...
Count wide receiver Jerry Porter out of Jaguars
training camp and the entire preseason. The team's highest-profile
free-agent acquisition, Porter is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a hamstring tendon that has ...
There are rumors on the NFL grapevine that
Jaguars receiver Jerry Porter might have a hamstring injury,
which might keep him out for a month, or longer. It’s just a rumor at this point. We’ve got no corroboration or verification or any of ...
The Raiders and 49ers have agreed to a
joint practice during training camp in Napa, Raiders senior
executive John Herrera said, No date has been announced, though the practice likely is to take place before the teams' exhibition game Aug. 8. The ...
Former Oakland Raiders great Tim Brown says Brett
Favre should stay retired and that there's "absolutely, positively"
no way the star quarterback will return to the Green Bay Packers. "There's no way he's going to be back in that locker room now," ...

Favre should stay retired and that there's "absolutely, positively"
no way the star quarterback will return to the Green Bay Packers. "There's no way he's going to be back in that locker room now," ...
This has been a tumultuous offseason for the
Raider Nation. First there was the ongoing saga of
whether or not Al Davis and Lane Kiffin were playing a game of dare to see whether Kiffin would quit, be fired, or coach for the 2008 season. Nnamdi Asomugha was given the franchise tag, and then free agents were signed fast and furious to huge contracts. Meanwhile, there was not motion on locking ...
Short takes To Darren in Oakland, Lane Kiffin
could be the first coach fired if he gets
off to a bad start, but I don't think that's going to happen because I think the Raiders are going to be around .500 this year, which should prevent any firing. ...
If you wanted to know why Nnamdi Asomugha
didn’t sign a long term contract with the Raiders
by yesterday’s deadline, you may have your chance and be able to help kids in the process while competing for a trip to the 2009 Hall of Fame festivities. The event is open to the public and is a tax write off. Here are the details:
A Las Vegas judge named new lawyers and
set a new court date for two men accused
of abducting, beating and robbing Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker last month.
The Tyvon Branch signing is a welcomed event
and any other day of his signing would have
been something that Raider Nation could celebrate, just not today. Although the rookie is expected to make a strong impact on special teams in 2008, he’s not expected to start and would only play defense in the worst of all situations, an injury or poor play. One defensive back expected to make an impact ...
At 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, any franchise players
who have not signed long-term deals will be permitted
to sign one-year contracts only. As to one of them, it’s unclear whether progress is being made toward a multi-year contract. But at least the ...
Neither the agent for cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha nor
the Raiders are interested in public discourse, but my
understanding is that neither side is expecting a multi-year contract to be in place before Tuesday’s deadline for signing franchise ...
The Raider Nation has been wringing their hands
for months, since Nnamdi Asomugha was given an “exclusive
rights” tag by the Oakland Raiders. The speculation has been rampant around the media and blogosphere on when and how much the Asomugha deal would ultimately be worth. Within 21 hours of this writing, or midnight eastern time, we will know the answer to whether or not Aso gets his long ...
Raiders get: Jets' first-round pick (No. 26), which
they used to select CB Fabian Washington, and seventh-round
pick (No. 230), which they later traded. Jets get: Raiders TE Doug Jolley, a second-round pick (No. 47 overall), which they used to select ...
As the camp battles series winds towards its
close, its time to look at the one area
that will make the difference between making the team and flipping burgers at the local In & Out, which is special teams. The Oakland Raiders have a couple of top flight kickers in Shane Lechler and Sebastian Janikowski. Additionally, the Raiders have a trio of top flight players for special teams coverage in ...
Former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler was an
NFL MVP and a Super Bowl winner, and any
biography of him should focus, first and foremost, on his football career. But any biography of him also needs to acknowledge that drinking and driving has ...
