Unlike Their Defense, the Oakland Raiders' Offense Has No Leaders

Some have suggested that the Raiders are lacking leadership and don't have a single leader on the whole team. I would argue otherwise; the Raiders have a fair share of leaders: Nnamdi Asomugha, Greg Ellis, Richard Seymour and even Gerard Warren...

JaMarcus Russell Is Not the Problem in Oakland

Lately, it has become obvious that the Raiders have big problems. Many people are placing that blame squarely on the Raiders' big-armed QB JaMarcus Russell, but I gotta disagree. I would put that blame elsewhere, mainly on the coaching staff...

Do the 2009 San Francisco 49ers Remind Anyone Else of the 2000 Baltimore Ravens?

Yes I said it. This year's 49ers squad looks very reminiscent of the 2000 Super-Bowl Champion Ravens. But let me say this I am not making a prediction here. I am not predicting the 49ers to go 12-4 or win the Super Bowl...
