Warren QB Killa Sapp, has announced his retirement today after a brilliant 13 year career, 3 of them spent as a leader on the Oakland Raiders. Man, growing up and playing offensive and defensive line…I always looked up to Warren Sapp. I always wanted to wreak havoc like he did when I played defense, and I always wondered what it would be like to try to block someone like him.When I was coaching high school football, many of my young linemen idolized Warren Sapp.I will never forget the memorable battles between him and Brett Favre. There were also his bootylicious dance moves. And of course he referred to the NFL as modern day slavery. There was the time he made one of the most devestating blocks ever…a clean earhole hit on Green Bay Tackle Chad Clifton. He amazed me two weeks ago by drawing 3 personal fouls in a row. Just plain awesome.I was thrilled the day he joined the Raiders. In face this year’s new Raiders Jersey was a white 99 Sapp.In my cubicle wall, a poster from an old Sports Illustrated kids magazine depicting Sapp devouring some poor Raven.I’m glad to have seen  the big man play live these past couple years. Luckily I took a picture of him standing in the endzone before the final game of his career. I will post that later.A standing ovation to a great competitor, a champion, and one of the greatest players of all time. Next stop for Warren Sapp…Canton. 

So the rumors are saying our chubby fierce long haired deffesnive coordinator Rob Ryan will get the boot by the end of the day. Reports say Ryan isn’t depressed or anything, and seems to already have a destination…he’s going to join his old buddy Eric Magini in New York. If he does go I’ll miss the big guy and wish him luck. So that leaves a void…or does it? Lane’s pops good old Monte Kiffin is in his final year of his contract, he may come over to work for his son. That would be interesting, well we won’t know for at least a couple weeks, the Bucs will most likely beat the Giants, and then lose in the divisional against the Cowboys. Kiff would be a great addition, and though he butted heads with Warren Sapp, the two have worked magic in the past.  

If you couldn’t notice, I was sarcastic. This horrible debacle known as the Raiders 2007 season is finally over. Hell, it was over from the first snap when Jamarcus threw a pick to Igor Olshansky on a screen pass. The Chargers marched down the field and scored. Soon after, the Raiders did something crazy…they stretched the field!!! Whoa since when did we throw deep? Well of course it did not result in a completion but it drew a pass interference, and Dominic Rhodes punched it in. But the mighty Raiders defense once again gave up the booty like a drunk prom date. Sebas missed another medium range field goal…eventually going into halftime trailing 14-10. In the 3rd, Jamarcus gets lit up by Jyles Tucker, and tucker lands on the rock in the endzone. Later in the third Jamarcus connects with Jerry Porter on  nice 32 yard, playaction and throw. So it’s 24-17.With the score 27-17 in the 4th, and about 6 minutes left, Oakland nonchalantly tries to drive down the field. After a few dinky short passes, mostly less than 10 yards, Dominic Rhodes to get stuffed on 4th and 2. It seems like Lame Kiffin threw in the towel at this point, they didn’t look like they wanted to win. Well after another Kaeding field goal, the raiders are only down 30-17…so we still have a chance get a quick score, and get an onside…we have a shot at a miracle.Well, we ended the season throwing a few more dinky short passes, and Jamarcus getting sacked for a 4th time. Yay what a way to end the season.Jamarcus had his moments, he needs to stretch the field. Our receivers aren’t good 1’s and 2’s, Porter and Curry are more like slot guys.  Zack Miller will be a beast, he had a very solid game 8 catches over 8 yards, and I must say our run game is greatly improved, Dominic Rhodes became our 3rd different hundred yard rusher this season. But it’s time to grow some balls and throw the long ball. Our defense has been a disappointment, but they held their ground against the San Diego backups. LT only had 55 rushing yards. I have 4 words that sum up the 2007 season…WE HAVE NO MARBLES!!!  Many changes have to be made, but as a season ticket holder for 2 of the worst seasons in team history…it can only get better. At least we doubled last year’s win total. 

Oh well, the final game of the season tomorrow. The Chargers have their seed all locked up, but they’re not closing the regular season out without trying to put a whooping on division Rival Oakland, plus Porter’s Dawg Norv Turner will want to wreak some havoc in his first game back in the O.What we will see… Jamarcus is starting, and it will give the fans a preview of next year. Despite a crappy Jacksonville game, he finished on a high note. Shawne Merriman needs to calm the f*ck down, I hope someone puts him on his @$$ Maurice Jones Drew did. Thomas Howard will go for pick number 7Derrick Buress can still reister double digit sacks if he goes nuts and gets 3Chris Clemons has 8 sacksChris Carr has been a disappointing return man all career.Shane Lechler still has a shot at history.Zack Miller has proven to be the best rookie tight end this year.LT will try to get his hundred yards in the first half to secure his title this year.MOST IMPORTANTLY…I EXPECT THE RAIDERS TO GO OUT WITH A BANG!!!  

In my life I’ve been to almost 20 or so professional football game, most of them in the Black Hole…but I have never seen anything like this…during the Texans game, a bunch of dorky kids in their early to mid 20s, some were wangsters, a few girls, and in particular one really wasted girl. Well as you can see…she started throwing up, all over the seats in front of her (and the ones getting yacked on were season ticket holders) It was awful 2nd quarter and you can smell it already. And as for the men with her, they weren’t much help, they were screaming nd hollaring yelling the dumbest stuff ever. It was the annoying kind, the kind that makes us Asian folks look dorky and look like wanna be thugs. I hope to never see them ever again for the rest of my life. As for the drunk girl…she pretty much blew 61 bucks to throw up and sleep.  So the moral of this story is the Black Hole houses the top drikiners, people who can hold their liquor. There is NO THROWING UP in the BLACK HOLE!!! The Black Hole is not a toilet that sucks up the universe’s puke!!!  

The Blackhole was in full effect on Sunday with myself innovating most of the offensive firepower to a defenseless Denver Broncos team. I sure gave our pesky division rivals an earful I coined new phrases at this game.Jay Cutler is now known as Gay Clit-lerCoach Mike Shanahan is a Mike Sh**ahan Javon Walker was more like Gay-Von WalkerChump Gay-ly, Gay Bly, and F*g*t Henry all got an earful from me.Apparently my wonderful play by play worked as Denver struggled all dy.Josh McCown was Mr. Superstar on this day, hitting Pappa Pop Warner Tim Dwight for a 17 yard score on the first drive.Travis Henry finally returned to action and responded with his lil touchdown.But on the 3rd Raiders series, the world got a sneak peek of Jamarcus Russell, the ginormous qurter back, hit Jerry Porter with a hard 16 yard strike to start off his career.Though Russell failed to rack up any points, he showed glimpses of his mobility and his arm. I blame Newberry on the missed shotgun snap, his shotguns seemed off on Sunday.The Raiders’ run defense finally game through forcing  couple turnovers and keeping Henry to only 49 yards rushing. The Offense came to play scoring on the turnovers. With the score 17-7 at the start of the third, Josh McCown flashed some Gannon-ness (and it’s not just the #12 jersey) McCown boots to the left, turns his hips right, takes a hit, but gets the ball into the endzone where Jerry Porter just sat and waited. Undoubtedly, the offensive play of the game. Denver didn’t go down without a fight, but eventually Gay…I mean Jay Cutler, threw two interceptions. Fabian Washington’s diving pick was the defensive play of the day. Someone should remind Cutler that Thomas Howard is not on his team, Howard returned one for a touchdown earlier this year thanks to Cutler’s crappiness.And J-Farg sealed the deal with a beautiful endzone stroll. Fargas finished with 146, he’s proven to be the best fantasy pick up I made this year. Zach Miller has proven to be a solid tight end making a few awesome catches. The real winners today was the Touchdown for Tots program who gets $5oo for each Raiders touchdown. That was $2000 well spent.   

OK, sorry hven’t written one all week. The old laptop fried, so I got me a new one.So we’ve got  chance to double last year’s win total tomorrow. We should’ve beat this Broncos earlier this year, but there’s that stupid field goal rule.We hung in there with McClown, Culpepper is still  a better option, and is more threatening to Champ Bailey and Dre Bly. Game 1 became a helluva running back showdown, but this week it may be 2 different running backs going at it…which 2, who knows, but t least for the Raiders, we all know Justin Fargas will be looking for another big game, and he will get it. Now for the Broncos, Shelvin Young, Travis Henry, who knows, who cares, just as long as the Raiders can figure out a way to stop the run, we should be good. Derrick Burgess is beginning to play well, Tommy Kelly’s absence will be missed. The Broncos receivers suck, and Jay Cutler is inconsistent, so you know the run is coming.  This week may be the week we see Jamarcus, and I can’t wait to see. I’ve been waiting all season for this one! If we can finish the day with a 3-8 record, the division title is still mathematically possible. 

After 17 straight divisional losses, and dropping 9 straight to the hated Chiefs…Yesss….we finally came in to Arrowhead and left with a 20-17 Victory.

Justin Fargas showed the Raider Nation why he is the starter running for 139. The angry Lamont Jordan did contribute with a touchdown.

The playcalling this week was great. Ronald Curry, Jerry Porter, and Zach Miller stretched the field. Porter was making some great catches today.

Our pass defense was great, Gonzo didn’t get his hands on the rock til the second half. Congratulations to Michael Huff, last year’s first round pick. He got is first pick of his career. Burgess got his 4th sack of the year, he’s had a slow year.

The Rush Defense, man I don’t know what it is. What is wrong with us, as good and mobile Sapp is nowadays, I still think he’s allowing wider running lanes to open up since he’s not taking as much space and is lighter.

The past few games, Captain Kirk and Thomas Howard haven’t been coming up with pics, but have you ever noticed how close they get when they’re floating in space. Derrick Burgess isn’t pinching to the inside as hard as before, and I miss Tommy Kelly who had great latteral movement.

It was a see-saw battle today, but one of those classics. Wow Colbie Smith, filled in for Michale Bush at Louisville, and filled in for the injured Larry Johnson, retired Priest Holmes, and ineffective Michael Bennet, very impressive debut with over a buck fitty n a couple touchdowns. But then again almost every running back looks impressive against the Raiders.

Brodie Croyle is a good wanna be Rich Gannon, but he’s not Rick Gannon. Jay Richardson shouldn’t have been called for that necessary roughness, this league protects quarterbacks too damn much.

Savor the victory, the funny part is we’re mathematically still in it. We’re only 2 games behind the Chargers n Broncos. I’m actually pulling for the Ravens as I type right now.

Horrray to Huggy Bear, and the rest of the Oakland Raiders. 3-8 baby!!! We beat last year!

Happy THanksgiving Raider Fans, for reals I’m not sure what we have to be thankful about.

I’m thankful that we have matched last year’s win total…it could be worse, we could be the Dolphins.
I’m thankful that at least we were able to sign Jamarcus Russel.
I’m thankful that Zack Miller is shaping up to be a good tight end.
I’m thankful that I have Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard on my fantasy team.
I’m thankful that at least we can run the ball and score and our quarterbacks aren’t getting sacked as much.
I’m thankful that the AFC West is shaping up to be the weakest most winnable division in all of football right now.
I’m thankful at 2-8 we somewhat still have a chance.
I’m thankful we tasted the #1 in our division for the first time in a long time.

Josh McCown doesn’t have turkey…he throws ducks.
Daunte Culpepper isn’t very spicy.
Even though his flavor is off every now and then Sebastian Janikowski has a big leg. Shane Lechler has an even bigger one.

Our might Raiders, arrrghhh, yes those awesome lovable silver and black losers will leave the Port of Oakland and enter the hostile Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas this Sunday. Yes the Chiefs, we’ve lost 8 straight to those punks, grrrr.

Well, you know what on the day Priest Holmes retired, I feel confident. We only lost by 2 points when the Raiders hosted them this year. The Chiefs Offense is ranked a lot lower than the Raiders, but Jared Allen and Derrick Johnson do lead the #10 defense. Larry Johnson is hampered by injuries, no priest, so I guess that means the Raiders will be hammering for Vikings stud Michael Bennet.

Justin Fargas has been running well, I’m expecting him to break a thousand. Mark my words!!! Justin Fargas will break a thousand yards rushing.

Allen got 10 tackles…including a pair of sacks against the Culpepper led Raiders in week seven…I wouldn’t be surprised if he out did that performance.

But I know Nnamdi Ashomugha has his sites set on revenge after getting burned by rookie sensation Dewayne Bowie last time these fellas played.

You know, amazingly, the Raiders are still mathematically in the hunt for the division…but realistically…sweet geezus we suck, even Warren Sapp said so this week.
