In an effort to indulge myself, I will now list my juniors and seniors for this upcoming season.
· Frank Okam (Texas) – He stayed away from last May’s draft to prove his worth. He put on five pounds for his senior year, but probably lost ten pounds of fat, and probably did it all because [...]

Yesterday, Larry Johnson, running back for the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs, signed a 5-year, $43 million dollar contract, with $19 million in guarantees. This means many things to the already up-in-the-air Chief offense.
Damon Huard wants one last chance to lead a team. On the other side of the coin, there’s inexperienced Brodie Croyle, and [...]

Sorry it took so long to get out my recap of the Raiders second preseason game, but family obligations sometimes come first, before sports. No seriously, I believe every word I just wrote.
After hours of reviewing plenty of tape from both the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders television feeds, I’ve come up with my [...]
