Everybody wants to talk about the Donkeys, the burros. It makes sense since Sundays in the late Summer and Fall are what many in Raider Nation look forward to.

Keys For Battling The Mack Attack And More From A Weird Week For Raider Nation
Forget about the Raiders and Chargers on Monday Night. It is not worth remembering the poor line play, ineffective running game and our QB falling into old ways. Vegas got 21-0 skunked in the first half after the lightning delay. They came out and made plays but they never really got the offense rolling on… Continue reading Keys For Battling The Mack Attack And More From A Weird Week For Raider Nation

2021: Back and More Silver than ever

A few years back someone bought me a picture of the stadium printed on canvas. It’s a reminder of the place I feel most at home. Gruden hit… Continue reading A Goodbye to Oakland and Beating the Jags
Forget AB, for Oakland’s Sake and more game notes Week One 2019
Week One is upon us and Antonio Brown is behind us. The entire, short-lived Antonio Brown situation was nightmare for the Silver and Black.

Super Bowl LIII and more reasons to be Petty
it’s been awhile since I checked in. Let’s be honest, the Raiders haven’t given me much to talk about outside of some quotes from our coach and new GM. Nonetheless, Raiders fans like myself will once again spitefully watch and binge drink to the Patriots playing in the Super Bowl. This year is even more… Continue reading Super Bowl LIII and more reasons to be Petty
