Some notes from ESPN.com on the injury Oakland Raiders defensive end, Tommy Kelly. Not only does this injury hurt the team, but the torn ACL could possibly destroy the career of a player I was beginning to hold in high regard.
Tommy Kelly will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ligament [...]

A quick and to the point assessment from the guys who actually watched the whole game. The guys on these ESPN and FOXSPORTS (recap) shows rarely even watch all the games they assess, but I’m glad CBS put the recap, by former Raider Rich Gannon, so easily available on YouTube. But I can’t [...]

I found this on YouTube, and I’m not sure whether I like it or not.  There are parts of it that are funny, but it’s kind of weird that Schweigert’s involved.  I just don’t imagine an NFL safety doing a slapstick clip like this.  I do give Stuart Schweigert credit for not letting his ego get in [...]

Injury Notes and Quote(s), ala Inside Bay Area:
Gerard Warren did not practice and is listed as out and will not play. Neither will Sam Williams, who was limited. Terdell Sands at defensvie tackle and Robert Thomas at strongside linebacker are the likely replacement starters.

Here are some notes and quotes from the last couple days.  Inside Bay Area publishes some the best info you can find on the Oakland Raiders.  They’re so good at their job that I had to clip over 500 words from their in-depth look at the Raiders week.  Enjoy.

The Oakland Raiders have failed to pick up the slack for one another all season long and the start to last Sundays’ game was no different.  The Raiders defense kept the Kansas City Chiefs to only 81 yards of total offense during the first two quarters, but the Raiders offense failed to put up any [...]

Even though the Oakland Raiders lost, it was great seeing their defense finally play like they did last season.  Larry Johnson got push around for the majority of the game, and was tackled for a loss or no gain on 9 out of his 24 carries.  If it weren’t for Johnson’s 54 yard scamper, the All-Pro running [...]

Last Sunday was practically a home game for some of the Kansas City Chiefs most influential personnel.  Head Coach Herm Edwards is from the area, and was able to go to his childhood home for dinner with his folks, and seemed to coach a very smooth and methodical game.  The best player on the field on [...]

I’ve been writing on this website for weeks about the success of Bay Area football (NFL and NCAA), but after weeks of progression, it all came crashing down last weekend.
Last Friday, San Jose State University gave up a 14-point lead to #16 Hawaii, and lost in overtime.  On Saturday the #2 team in the nation [...]
