It’s been a tumultuous offseason for the Oakland Raiders with roster reshuffling and trades, but one question hung over the team since the final whistle of the 2018 season; where will they play in 2019? Monday, the NFL Owners voted unanimously to approve a one-year lease that will keep the Raiders in Oakland at the […] More
As easy decisions go, the opportunity to put an NFL franchise in and around Las Vegas was a no brainer. That’s why it was no surprise when the NFL owners voted 31-1 to allow the formerly Oakland Raiders to move to that bacchanalian desert oasis of gambling and legal prostitution Monday. Welcome @RAIDERS to the […] More
It’s been a busy week as I make the final push toward April’s NFL Draft. Needless to say that a few stories have managed to fall through the cracks, so Sunday night is as good a time as any to look back and what we missed. Oakland tries last ditch effort to keep Raiders, fails […] More
Let’s just get this out there as a statement, because I don’t think we’ve had the opportunity to wrap our brains around it just yet. There is going to be an NFL team in Las Vegas. Yes, that Las Vegas. Thursday the Raiders made official what we all knew was coming; they filed official relocation […] More

Friday free agent quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was arrested for domestic violence and allegedly pointing a gun at his wife in Kissimmee, Fla. According to the police report Jackson pulled the gun on his wife while drunk and told her, “I’ll […] More
If you haven’t thought about Warren Sapp in a while, you’re not alone. We’ve all, to a man, woman and child, pretty much put the Hall of Fame defensive tackle and former NFL Network analyst out of our minds since he was fired in February of 2015 for soliciting and assaulting a prostitute. Don’t worry […] More

Jack Del Rio had the Oakland Raiders in contention in his first season thanks to an already-built offense that just needed one piece to the puzzle, a star wide receiver and they got that in Amari Cooper. The Raiders come into 2016 in much better shape, but with holes all over the defense and that’s […] More
With some of the monster trades and deals over the first couple of days of NFL Free Agency, it’s easy to miss what’s been happening in Oakland.

Charles Woodson just wrapped up a Hall of Fame career, returning to the Oakland Raiders for his last three seasons as nice little victory lap. Unlike Peyton Manning and Calvin Johnson, Woodson’s post 2015-16 season plans were no secret. He was putting the horse in the barn and wanted to get a standing ovation as […] More
