I'm BACKKK Raider Fans:

I've taken this month to focus on the new addition to the Raider family, Amelia-Marie, and to clear my head for the upcoming season.

The last two seasons and all of the draft coverage really blew me out.

Thanks, Kai-Sir and Raider 76 for keeping the site updated on the happenings in Raider land while I chimed in occasionally.

Like most of you, I am stoked that there will be football in exactly 40 days from today!!!

It will only be pre-season football, but it will bring the Whiners to Oakland and will give us our first glimpse at D-Mac in Silver and Black. It will also allow us to FINALLY see Michael Bush run the rock on the Coliseum Field.

Then you HAVE to go to the Raider Nation Celebration on August 10th. If you've never been to one of their events you have definitely missed out.

Last year the team had the Raiderettes meet us at the gates with free posters and the team ran plays on the field as the players signed autographs.

They have not released an agenda yet, but it is always great. I mean, where else can you get an Amy Trask autograph and watch her run the ship? She is truly a work of art.

Until the Pre-Season starts we will be breaking down the Training Camp and of course watching the Javon Walker saga closer...

One last thing before I go. Do you think that there is a Denver Bronco favoritism in the NFL Office? I mean, how much trouble does Brandon Marshall have to get into before he is put on ice?

Dedication from a Raiders rookie

Worth pointing out that, on Monday morning, when an NFL Network reporter was the only person in the hotel’s health club, the first rookie to join him there at a ridiculous 5:15 a.m. was Oakland’s fourth-round pick, wide receiver Arman Shields.
Any rookie who shows up to the gym at that time to get in a workout before the symposium begins at 8 a.m. is serious about his job.

Oakland drafted Shields with a fourth-round pick, the 125th overall selection, that it acquired from Baltimore in exchange for cornerback Fabien Washington. In his career at Richmond, Shields caught 160 passes for 1,930 yards and 13 touchdowns. Last season, however, he caught only 14 passes for 125 yards. But Shields’ dedication and work ethic give him a chance to make a mark in Oakland.

Aw thanks

just doing the job I’m not paid to do (that sounds crummy) I can’t wait to see what Morrison and Howard can do this year and to see how Fargas does as the starter.
