Rex Ryan Melts Down In Press Conference
I'm not sure a preseason game can ever be described as good, but they can definitely be bad and the Jets performance Saturday night was about as bad as it gets. Look what they made Rex Ryan do....
The Raiders Would At Least Be Watchable If They Started Terrelle Pryor
Friday night's Bears-Raiders preseason game produced some strong evidence that the Raiders will most likely end up in the AFC West basement this season as Chicago took at 27-3 lead at halftime. Backup quarterback Terrelle Pryor, however, was one bright spot for Oakland....
