The Oakland Raiders have gone from a perennial bottom-feeder in the NFL to arguably one of the best offensive forces in the league in only a few years time with Derek Carr leading the way. This year the team may take the next step with the addition of Marshawn Lynch, but the debut of the […]

The New England Patriots enter the 2017 NFL season as the overall favorite to repeat as Super Bowl champions. The Patriots’ front office did its best to ensure this by adding speedy wide receiver Brandin Cooks and re-signing the core of its free agents in the offseason. Quarterback Tom Brady will even have his favorite […]

The Oakland Raiders bought a full-page ad in today’s San Francisco Chronicle in support of their neighbor team, the Golden State Warriors, deed which has happened for the third-straight year after reaching the NBA Finals. The ad features Draymond Green celebrating and flexing his biceps, along with Raiders late-owner Al Davis‘ slogan: “Just win baby” and a […]

Draymond Green has been vocally irate at the Oakland Raiders‘ decision to move to Las Vegas, urging Raider Nation to boycott the rest of the games, given that they’re forced to play in O.co Coliseum for another two seasons before their eventual move in 2020. “I won’t attend a game… I feel like all fans […]

It’s been a long and winding road, but we’ve finally made it to the NFL’s Wild Card playoffs. On Saturday, one of the best tournaments in sports will finally kick off. Unfortunately, injuries to key players have dimmed the excitement for a few teams. The Raiders‘ grand return to the postseason after 14 years away […]

What was supposed to be a glorious return to the postseason after 14 years away has now become quite gloomy for the Raiders. On Saturday, starting quarterback and MVP candidate Derek Carr broke his fibula, keeping him out for at least six weeks, and possibly more. As a result, a team once on the short […]

Time flies by when you having fun. It’s hard to believe, but we’re already in the final week of the regular season, and there are plenty of NFL playoff scenarios left to sort out. A lot was decided in Week 16, though. The Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos were all eliminated […]

When Derek Carr dislocated his right pinkie a few weeks back, every Oakland Raiders fan held their breath. The franchise was in full pursuit of their first postseason appearance in 14 years (which they clinched this Sunday); the thought of losing Carr was too much to bear. Luckily, Carr came back into that game and […]

As the Raiders‘ stadium search approaches a possible conclusion, Oakland is making a final stand to keep their football team. But, according to one NFL executive, it’s too late. Earlier this week, Oakland city and county officials approved the opening of negotiations with an investment group that wants to build a $1.3 billion stadium. The […]

The Raiders had a number of chances to come back and tie the Chiefs in the fourth quarter of last night’s game. Even though they reached the red zone later, their best opportunity might’ve come from their own 28-yard line. With the AFC West lead on the line, Oakland faced a 3rd down with over […]

The Houston Texans currently boast a 6-3 record, good for first in the AFC South. But, there are still serious questions about their current quarterback situation. This offseason, the Texans signed free agent Brock Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million deal. He’s struggled to live up to the hype, which shouldn’t be taken as an […]

No team is more penalized in the NFL this season than the Oakland Raiders. But, with a 6-2 record, head coach Jack Del Rio isn’t too worried. On Sunday, the Raiders came back late to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime. The victory is their fifth on the road in five away games. After […]

NBA legend and current TNT analyst Charles Barkley recently guested on The NFL Today on CBS and gave his thoughts on a lot of news surrounding the league. Known for speaking his mind without holding back, the basketball Hall of Fame member sounded off on the Oakland Raider’s planned move to Las Vegas. This comes […]

Jack Del Rio needs to work on his phrasing. After his Raiders fell to the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon by a final score of 26-10, Del Rio attempted to compliment the dynamic play of Alex Smith. However, in the process, he completely ripped Smith’s ability to throw the pigskin. From Vic Tafur of the SF […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are becoming closer and closer to a reality. The franchise, which moved from Oakland to Los Angeles before going back to Oakland, is currently searching for a new stadium. Whether it comes in the Bay Area or else where is still up in the air. Sin City appears more than ready […]

Another week, another close victory for the Oakland Raiders. Other than a Week 2 loss to the Falcons, Oakland has a pair of one-point wins over the Saints and Ravens, as well as a one-score victory over the Titans. It hasn’t been easy for the Raiders, but they’re 3-1. It’s their best start since 2002, […]

The Oakland Raiders were extremely highly rated coming into this season.  That was until they gave up the most yards allowed since 1940 (1035 yards) in Weeks 1 and 2. In their defense, they were put up against two gunslingers, Drew Brees and Matt Ryan. Still, that’s not a good excuse with the raw talent they have on […]

Have you ever wondered what it’d be liked to put an NBA player in pads and cleats and let him loose in a Madden game? If you have, then wonder no more, as Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins donned his likeness in the game as a 6-foot-11 running back, weighing a whopping 270 pounds. In […]

The Bay Area sports love is strong with this one.
