Game Thread 11-16-08: Oakland Raiders @ Miami Dolphins
20 minutes until some FOOTBALL!!!
RRRAAAIIDDEERRSS!!!!!
As I write this, it has been reported, as I have wondered about many times, by Chris Mortensen, that Jim Fassell has written a letter to Al Davis expressing his interest in coaching the Raiders.
I wonder if he sent it by courier and had it displayed on an overhead projector?
I am hoping that D-mac gets 20 touches today and that Curry gets out of the dog house long enough to remind us all what he can do!!!
Go RAIDERS!!!
I'm picking JaMarcus Russell to be the player of the game. He needs to be the man and lead this team to victory.

And it will be
Jim Fassell because he’s one of the few willing to deal w/ Davis.

I hope you're right saint
I would love to see J-Russ step up.
He needs to if he’s going to be successful. Or this team, for that matter.

Fassel
Well, he did get the Giants to the Super Bowl.
On the other hand, what kind of a nutcase actively solicits a job like the Raiders head coach?
Tim Kawakami reported last week that Jim Harbaugh might be interested in leaving Stanford for the Raiders job.

Jim Harbaugh
was 100% assumption. I don’t think Jim Harbaugh actually actively looked for the job.
