Raiders halftime
Raiders trail Rams at halftime 7-3. The Rams? The Raiders are into their second game and have not scored a TD in the first half of either one. What gives?
Same old bad Raiders
I admit I could be jumping the gun on this one. It's early in the 4th quarter in Tennessee and the Raiders trail by the gruesome score of 38-6, but they could come back. A fine team like that could mount a stirring comeback, one for the ages. I don't [...]

49ers and Raiders and what they have to prove
Both the Raiders and 49ers have big things to prove in the upcoming season. They have different things to prove, momentous in both cases. To read my column -- my first since vacation -- on the Raiders and Niners burdens of proof click here. PS: You may need to go [...]
