I’ve been off and on this month due to a cold, vacation, and the resulting catch up with the priorities that help me pay rent.  Unfortunately quite a bit has happened while I’ve been gone, and although some of the topics that Ill be writing on in the next few days have been discussed in other NFL and Oakland Raider blogs and forums, but as usual, I believe I have insight that can’t be found elsewhere.
