In light of the recent debate here, I decided to prepare this fuller, hopefully balanced treatment of Kenny Stabler. His Hall of Fame qualifications have been the subject of spirited discussion for many years. Stabler was a finalist in 1990, 1991 and in 2003. He was a semifinalist as recently as 2009. His Hall of Fame fate [...]
After the spending spree last offseason to keep the likes ofMichael Huff, Kamerion Wimbley, and Stanford Routt happy members of the Silver and Black, the clock began to tick on salary cap doomsday. And as of about a month ago, that cap over shot was thought to be at around $11 million. Now it appears [...]
The Oakland Raiders are entering a new era and it’s an era where the 40-yard-dash time doesn’t automatically qualify or disqualify a prospect from being drafted by the team. Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen will usher in the new era and changes must be made to get the Raiders under the salary cap and improve the [...]
What an exciting few days, don’t you agree? I may be alone here, but the combine is one of my favorite events of the NFL season. There’s so many things that can happen, you never know what’s going on. First-round talent players do terrible, a la Vontaze Burfict. Other players blow the roof off of Lucas [...]
According to former Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown, that’s what he dealt with while playing for Callahan for six seasons. During a Tuesday radio interview, the former nine-time Pro Bowler gave some background information on the Cowboys’ new offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. “I just don’t think he’s a good people person,” Brown [...]
Oakland Raiders‘ season tickets went on sale today at Raiders.com, offering some great deals, and reminding me that I need to start planning for the 2012 season. While it’s still six months away, living up north on the Oregon coast requires a little bit more effort than driving up, or down, interstate 880. Although the specific [...]
Former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard made an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio to discuss his future following back surgery that ended his chances at a 2011 season. Garrard had surgery in October for a herniated disc in his back. He proclaimed his back to be 100% and that he is about 90-95% towards being in football shape. Garrard [...]
With NFL free agency set to begin in the very near future it looks like the Oakland Raiders will once again be on the sideline. Not since the ill-advised Al Davis spending tsunami of ’08 have the Raiders actually been players in free agency. Instead free agency lately has been limited to giving hefty raises to [...]
Chester McGlockton, the former Raiders lineman and Stanford assistant coach, died from an enlarged heart, the Contra Costa County sheriff’s office said Monday. An autopsy performed in the weeks after the November death determined McGlockton, 42, suffered from left ventricular cardiac hypertrophy, sheriff’s spokesman Jimmy Lee said in an email. The condition causes [...]
I NDIANAPOLIS — The 40-yard dash has become the signature event of the annual NFL Scouting Combine. The sight of linemen lumbering to the finish line and skill-position players speeding over that distance has generated TV ratings that surpass a regular-season baseball game. The intrigue is in the unpredictability. When a supposedly speedy receiver clocks a [...]
