1. I have to take a moment and pay respect to Al Davis. The legendary Oakland Raiders owner passed away on Saturday. Born in Brockton, MA, the rebel and leader of the Silver and Black was a steward of the AFL and helped form the modern day NFL. The Patriots held a moment of silence before the game to honor Davis. The league lost an icon.

The sixth rounder was waived before even signing a contract. The reasons are unknown, but owner Al Davis didn’t hold a press conference declaring that Sulak lied to him.
It would be very ironic if Sulak signs with the Patriots because he was selected by Oakland with a pick New England gave to the Raiders to move up in the second round to select DT Ron Brace! Sulak was drafted 199th overall. That’s a lucky number in these parts. If Sulak is half the player Tom Brady became, Stryker is a monumental steal!

m the last coach used, not the system the GM wants, but the system that you hired him to implement. Al Davis, take notes...
Thanks to the Rooneys for getting right.

ne Kiffin, who was a surprise appointee to the head coach position in January of 2007, was fired by Al Davis over the telephone after a dismal 1-4 start to the 2008 season. Offensive line coach Tom Cable has been named interim coach. At the televised news conference to announce the firing, Raiders owner

The crystal ball was two up and two down for the week. Even though that is an improvement, it still doesn’t cut it! Good thing this is for entertainment purposes only…or I would be in the poor house! Let’s take a look back and see what happened:

bsp; Bill Belichick, Head Coach of the New England Patriots, was accused by Al Davis of “tampering” with Randy Moss prior to their trade a year ago. The Raiders received a 4th round pick as compensation in the deal. Davis alleges that the Patriots had a secret workout with Moss prior to the negotiations, which would violate NFL rules. Bill (here’s a surprise) denies the accusation.

I never heard of him either!
Al Davis, in one of his many “brilliant” moves, has fired another head coach…we should have seen it coming…it’s his M.O. Every couple of years he changes the head coach and forgets to look in the mirror…he is the problem! Kiffin, who has never been a Head Coach before, was given 20 games (5-15) to prove himself. When Davis hired Kiffin, he was 31 years old…barely older than many of his players. If Big Al wanted a quick fix, then perhaps he should have hired someone like Bill Parcells, Brian Billick, Bill Cowher, you get the idea…someone with experience!

As a Raider fan, I'm sure we've all heard the Autumn Wind poem. Now I've always liked the Raiders image, but lately they don't seem to be fitting that image very well. That's where I come in. I've decided to come up with an idea to rebrand the Oakland Raiders to fit with the times. I wrote the poem for the Raiders new image and it's titled The Winter Wind. The poem is set to this Beck song
