You probably already know what the biggest challenge
is when covering the Raiders. You've heard about it
from other reporters and sites, but I'll say it again so that we are all clear -- they aren't forthcoming when it comes to news.

You can feel the anticipation beginning to mount
as the Raiders went through their seventh session of
'intense learning' this morning -- and I'm not talking about the reporters either. Routes are beginning to look more urgent, the linemen seem to be jumping out of their stance faster in the...

Raiders Training Camp - Day 5 Morning quick hits

Practice was a little more interesting this evening,
but don't get too excited -- it was still
filled with plenty of 'intense learning'. So, while the coaches were still getting the Raiders mentally prepared for Monday, there wasn't a whole lot going on the field that kept your average viewer...

Right now, it's very possible that nobody is
more ready to hit someone than I am. These
practices have been difficult to watch, not because they are horrible practices, but because there isn't a whole bunch to report.

The golf cart came out soon after the
second practice of the day began. Al Davis sat
in the cart for most of the practice taking everything in from the session. It's the first time this camp that he's been seen. Up until this evening, the only Davis at camp has been his son Mark...

I'm not an NFL scout. I don't have
a database and memory recall of every college football
player like draft guru's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay. The only reason I had an idea of what Darrius Heyward-Bey could do was because I covered last year's California Golden Bears' loss to Maryland...

If you're expecting a post explaining the differences
in the Raiders' 4-3 alignment under John Marshall as
compared to former defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, (or something to that extent), you may just want to move on to the next article. This isn't a story that will pump blood through your ...

Last week, the Oakland Raiders officially became the
subject for the paint job on an airplane that
will never carry a passenger to the United States. The airline, Air Asia X, became an official sponsor of the Oakland Raiders not long ago and have unveiled the airplane to prove it.

While researching an article for Examiner.com, I came
across an interesting quote from a player thought to
be a favorite in the coming season's Heisman voting. It's no secret that Al Davis loves three things in a football player: speed, Heisman trophies, and Super Bowl MVP winners. It's an added ...

Is it premature to say that the Raiders
have finally found somebody that can close the revolving
door on the left side of the offensive line? Maybe. Today Drew Rosenhaus Twittered, or Tweeted, the signing of a new player - Mario Henderson.

The biggest question that most people have with
the Raiders is, "When are they going to hire
a head coach?" The second biggest question has more to do with who that coach is going to be. I want to know why the Raiders don't seem to be interviewing anybody that can actually come and coach the...
