Hey Mike!
I just wrote an article on five backup QBs that should start for the Raiders instead of Jamarcus Russell. If you could check it out and leave some feedback it would be greatly appreciated.

The Raiders are running no where fast. If they can't run the football against the Broncos, things could get ugly...

Hey Mike,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Mike!

Zander
