D.J. Fluker Picked Up A Linebacker And Body-Slammed Him
This happened somewhere around 2 a.m. EDT this morning, so maybe you missed it. This is rookie lineman D.J. Fluker doing all he could—and then some—to make sure Raiders linebacker Sio Moore doesn't get to Philip Rivers on this play. Unsurprisingly, Fluker was flagged for a personal foul, but holy s...

Why The NFL's New Concussion Protocols Aren't Working
In January, the NFL announced that, starting with the 2013 season, all games would be played with an independent neurologist on the sidelines to assist with the evaluation and treatment of head injuries.

Matt Flynn Giveth, And Matt Flynn Taketh Away
The Raiders pulled out to a quick 14-0 lead with a blocked punt TD and Matt Flynn's touchdown pass to tight end Mychal Rivera. That's good! But on Oakland's first drive of the second quarter, Flynn threw a pass straight to rookie corner David Amerson, who easily ran it back. That's bad....
Peyton "FIGJAM" Manning: Your <i>Monday Night Football</i> GIF Roundup
Denver 37, Oakland 21: Fuck I'm good, just ask me. Yeah, you are Peyton. You're pretty effing good. This little smirking moment came after Manning successfully changed a play at the line, converting a third-and-six pass to Demaryius Thomas for a first down early in the third quarter. It wasn't a bi...
God Willing, The Raiders' Nightmare Mascot Will Not Take The Field
Relax. Breathe. The Raider Rusher is not Oakland's new mascot. It will not prowl the sidelines. You can summon it by repeating its name three times into a darkened bathroom mirror, but it will not trouble your dreams by showing up on an NFL broadcast....
Terrelle Pryor Not Only Made The Raiders Watchable, But Competitive
Terrelle Pryor didn't put away concerns of his starting capabilities in the last preseason game, but against the Colts, he seemed to have added some evidence as to why he rose to the top of Oakland's QB depth chart of sadness....
Reminder: The Jets Aren't The Only Team With A Dismal QB Situation
This week, the Oakland Raiders announced that Terrelle Pryor will be the team's starting quarterback in Week 1.

The Raiders Have Already Cut Their 2013 Fourth-Round Pick

Let's Watch The Raiders' Taiwan Jones Jump Over A Car For $200
A bunch of Oakland Raiders went out for Darren McFadden's 26th birthday the other night. It was a momentous occasion. Taiwan Jones, a running back who was switched to cornerback during the offseason, jumped over a BMW for $200. Tyvon Branch posted it to Instagram. A good time was had by all....
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....

JaMarcus Russell Is Not Fat Anymore
I mean, sure, all-black is slimming, and fur-coat-and-sweatsuit getups are not. But still. Russell is lean, mean, and ready to quarterback someone—anyone—to mediocrity. If Tim Tebow can get a shot, why can’t he?...
