I am at the game, and am probably two sheets to the wind, working an a third as you read this, so I'm saying it LOUD and I'm saying it PROUD!!!

does anyone know if this is on live

in the bay-area? or are we gonna have to wait for the re-broadcast at 10?

Check your local channels. I live in Modesto, so I am not sure what channel will televise it locally. Either ABC, Fox, CBS or NBC should have it in the Bay Area.

Current Raiders coach Tom Cable is just like predecessor Lane Kiffin in that he wants stiff competition for as many starting jobs as possible. Unlike Kiffin last season, Cable seems to be getting his wish.

“It’s on,” Cable said. “And everyone’s got to fight for a job to get this thing down to 53, the right 53, and inside of that, obviously, who your starters are and so forth.”

That process intensifies with tonight’s exhibition opener against the Dallas Cowboys at the Oakland Coliseum.

….Flores makes a good point: Russell is making decisions and getting the ball out quick. That was one of his two real flaws last year. The other was accuracy, so we’ll see how the time with Tollner and Hackett has gone.
