Oakland Raiders Lose To LA Rams 33 To 13, Jon Gruden Must Fix Derek Carr’s Footwork. The Raiders outgained the Rams 395 yards to 365 yards but the difference was Carr’s three interceptions. For some reason Carr’s passes sailed on him many times in the second half, and in one case caused the second pick.

An Attack On Diversity Attacks Conservative Thought And Freedom Supports Authoritarianism, Racism
An Attack On Diversity Attacks Conservative Thought And Freedom And Supports Authoritarianism And Racism There is a desire among some who fancy themselves intelligent to attack diversity. They, like Tucker Carlson, drunkenly talk of some more desirable world without diversity, without stopping to think about what they say. The fact is diversity reflects the existence of free thought, freedom of assembly, and free markets. To not want that is to desire authoritarianism and racism and it would seem sexism. Thus, since none of those are true reflections of actual conservatism, those who claim to be conservative can’t be authoritarian or racist or sexist. What we have are people who have replaced real conservative thought with something that has its basis in Race hate. Nothing more.

Oakland Raiders Las Vegas, Derek Carr, Jon Gruden Spending Forced Khalil Mack Trade
The Oakland Raiders trade of Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears and for two 2019 NFL Draft 1st round picks, should come as no surprise considering the Silver and Black couldn't afford him. The Raiders, working under the self-levied fiscal gut punch of the expense of relocating to Las Vegas and of signing Derek Carr and Head Coach Jon Gruden to a guaranteed contract worth $100 million, may have budgeted to give Khalil Mack an offer, but had no intention of getting him a block-buster deal. The Raiders sent that signal with the "Moneyball" NFL Draft strategy they used for the 2018 NFL Draft. Look at Maurice Hurst and Arden Key and Kolton Miller, to name a few: two giant talent players that were sure-fire first rounders in Hurst and Key, but health and off the field concerns had them drop in the Draft, and into the waiting arms of the cheapo Raiders. Miller? He was the target of the Raiders after they traded not up but down to get him. Why? To save money - and because they didn't have the cash to have a normal NFL Draft. The Las Vegas Stadium expense is such that, by my estimate, the Raiders are look at least a $500 million deficit in stadium net operating income, unless they can secure a naming rights agreement at least that large, or if not, then at $400 million. Moreover, the Raiders need to secure $1 billion in sponsorships overall, and because of the need to pay back the Bank of America line-of-credit, and pay for the cost to run the stadium on an annual basis. The Raiders have to prove they can match or go beyond the Atlanta Falcons $1 billion in sponsorships for Mercedes Benz Stadium - something the organization has not done. The Raiders are in trouble. In addition to those expenses, the team was looking at a really high rent at the Coliseum, and no other place to go that they could afford to play at before Las Vegas. The Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Board and Executive Director did the Raiders a favor by reducing the level of rent to pay in exchange for high-dollar donations to Oakland non-profits. That is why the Raiders stepped forward to help the Oakland Public Schools maintain their sports program. No, the School District didn't know that; they were like the proverbial hiker on the side of the road desperate for a ride out of the desert - the Raiders happened to drive by. But I digress. From all sides, the Raiders are looking at spending and revenue requirements they can't meet as of now. Much of the problem is not just of their own decisions, but deal making - or lack of. Want an example of what I mean? Look at how Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones got a $30 million sponsorship deal with Pepsi and Nike in 1995 - that was to pay for getting the services of Deion Sanders. Why couldn't the Raiders make some kind of deal like that with Apple or some Bay Area tech company? That's a question that has to be asked - even if the Raiders don't answer it. The Raiders need money. The thing is, losing Khalil Mack will cost them more money in lost merchandise revenue. The only way around that problem is to win, and at this point, the Oakland Raiders better run the table. If they can. Many are betting they can't - and will have a losing season. Stay tuned.

Brian Baldinger Of NFL Network Feuds With Zennie Abraham Of Zennie62 Over NY Jets QB Situation
Brian Baldinger Of NFL Network Feuds With Zennie Abraham Of Zennie62 over Bridgewater vs Darnold at QB. It’s simple. NY Jets Teddy Bridgewater has played better in NFL Preseason than Sam Darnold, whom the Gang Green took with the 3rd pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Brian Baldinger who is my friend over at the NFL Network disagrees. He says that the Jets should start Darnold because they took him with the third pick. Under that logic, I should buy a fur coat and wear it in 80 degree weather just because it’s expensive! First, I would never buy a fur coat and second I would not use it in 80 degree weather! The fact is Teddy Bridgewater has outplayed Darnold in the NFL Preseason and upended the NY Jets QB plans. The Jets actually thought Teddy Bridgewater was going to be some expendable journeyman quarterback! How silly! Rather than be happy with having a rich stable of passers, the Jets being the Jets have to make it a zero sum game. Baldinger is wrong. Darnold is the bad choice. He will not win for the Jets because he is not ready for the regular season speed of the game. Teddy Bridgewater comes ready to play and lead. He’s a proven leader. Let him go to work. Stay tuned.

Jovanka Beckles Lands Wellstone Club Endorsement Over Buffy Wicks Due To CA Prop 10
Richmond City Councilmember Jovanka Beckles landed the Wellstone Democratic Club Endorsement Over Buffy Wicks by a whopping margin and due to California Prop 10. Proposition 10 is the California Affordable Housing Act on the November 2018 ballot. If passed, it would get rid of the Costa Hawkins legislation that has allowed property owners to raise rent by up to three times market value once a unit is vacated in a rent controlled dwelling. This has produced epidemically high rates of illegal evictions in California, as landlords sought to take advantage of the tech fueled boom in housing demand. Buffy Wicks believes that Costa Hawkins can be “fixed” but what she misses is that many believe such a process takes too long with respect to the growing problem of homelessness. That is why Wicks lost to Beckles at Wellstone. Stay tuned.

We saw this country as a place where anything is possible – and citizenship as our patriotic obligation to ensure it forever remains that way.

City Of Oakland Can Buyout Alameda County Share Of Coliseum, But Shouldn’t - Here’s Why
The City of Oakland can buyout the County of Alameda's "share" of the Oakland Coliseum. That's contrary to a media report stating that the City of Oakland could not do that. Further, I know for a fact the Mayor of Oakland did not say that in a report on a meeting with business leaders last week. But the fact is, the City of Oakland can afford to pay for the County of Alameda's share of the Oakland Coliseum. But the City of Oakland should not give the County of Alameda one dime for the Coliseum. And reason is simple: the County of Alameda is essentially forcing Oakland into a place where it spends public money just so the County can get a free-ride on new revenue from a privately-financed ballpark, even if it's built at Howard Terminal at Jack London's Waterfront. See, the County of Alameda gets 35 percent of each property tax dollar. So if a ballpark is constructed at Howard Terminal, the County of Alameda gets rich off the land speculation from property being bought up around the proposed stadium. Then it gets money from the Oakland A's. The City of Oakland is less $90 million (which is about what it would take to buy out the Coliseum debt exposure). So the County of Alameda wins not just by getting Oakland's buyout, but then by the activity of a privately financed stadium - which pays property taxes. Also, the County of Alameda, in pulling out of the Coliseum, takes its debt capacity with it, too. That also hurts the City of Oakland, which needs the County's credit to more easily build structures at the Coliseum, where private financing needs to be helped. That's not right and it makes Oakland look like a complete sucker. Just say "NO" Mayor Schaaf. Just say no. Rather, the County of Alameda should recognize the fact that Oakland bears the brunt of the operating cost and infrasture service cost to the Coliseum, and just ask that the City of Oakland fashion a deal that earns money for the County, too. And the County should remember that we have an emergency-level homeless problem that we have yet to solve. Stay tuned.

Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Bond Debt Not Covered By Hotel Tax Revenue Says Muni Banker
The Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Bond Debt Not Covered By Hotel Tax Revenue says a municipal investment banker friend of mine, today. He's been in the business for almost 20 years, and finally took a look at my analysis, and texted back this message: "The article was post sale. Also, the bds are a ltgo. So, any shortfall will be covered by property taxes. Not the general fund. Not to say this isn’t a bad deal. Most publicly financed stadiums are. But, if this deal goes belly up. Home owners in lv on the hook for it. " To which I replied..Which is exactly my point. Jessica Colvin, Clark County Finance Director, SPECIFICALLY TOLD me that would not happen, on the record, and as a reaction to my assertion it would. Because that is the political issue in Nevada. The stadium tax revenue is not covering the bond debt and it will not. This comes as the Clark County School District laid off 500 people as a result of two $60 million deficits. So the next step is to keep your name out of this. And report the problem. But thanks He said “Nice. Just keep me/firm out of it.“ The fact is, the stadium hotel tax revenue, which has actually shrank by two percent over a 12 month period, is also too small to produce a base of money that can pay for the $650 million bond issue, with its monthly debt coverage ratio. But it's OK - Clark County Taxpayers will foot the bill, contrary to what they were told.

I made this message because there is something I want to share with you. The Atlanta Super Bowl is approaching and the Atlanta Super Bowl 53 Host Commitee has done a terrific job of working to get over 10,000 people to be volunteers - like you! Now that you have signed up, here is some news: you don’t get free Super Bowl Tickets. Nope. Not even half-off. What you get as an Atlanta Super Bowl 53 Volunteer is an incredible chance to meet great people: the folks who work with you. All are giving their time to be part of something literally bigger than themselves. The Super Bowl is an amazing experience in human energy and human sprit. There is no better drug than the kickoff of a Super Bowl Game - especially in a domed stadium. But if you can’t afford a ticket, being a volunteer is just as cool and for a reason not listed on the Atlanta Host Committee website: you are “in the know” during the two-week Super Bowl period. Just by forming networks and doing your job as a volunteer, you will become an expert on the happenings and score invitations to events that others didn’t even know were going on. That happens as a result of who you know and get to know. So got out and make it fun. You are the person who makes the Super Bowl and Atlanta fun for Super Bowl Attendees. Remember that 70 percent of Super Bowl goers are there for the first time and that means there is a 70 percent chance they will not be back. Make this one time special for them and in the process you will have the time of your life! Welcome to Atlanta and Super Bowl 53!

Statement From President And Mrs. Barack Obama On The Passing Of Aretha Franklin
Statement From President And Mrs. Barack Obama On The Passing Of Aretha Franklin America has no royalty. But we do have a chance to earn something more enduring. Born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, Aretha Franklin grew up performing gospel songs in her father’s congregation. For more than six decades since, every time she sang, we were all graced with a glimpse of the divine. Through her compositions and unmatched musicianship, Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. She helped us feel more connected to each other, more hopeful, more human. And sometimes she helped us just forget about everything else and dance. Aretha may have passed on to a better place, but the gift of her music remains to inspire us all. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace. Michelle and I send our prayers and warmest sympathies to her family and all those moved by her song.

Donald Trump Calls Omarosa, A Black Woman, A Dog On Twitter; Will Omarosa Sue For Slander?
Donald Trump calls Omarosa, A Black Woman, a Dog On Twitter, shocking the nation. But will Omarosa sue for slander? This is what Trump wrote: "When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!" The reactions have expressed shock and outrage that a sitting President of The United States would write this in public about anyone - let alone a black woman who was his friend. Thomas Pebler tweets "In my 62 years of life I have never seen a President act so childish to call people names. In my 40 years of teaching I have learned those that call others name have very low self esteem and feel better about themselves by degrading others" Shay Nova tweets: "It's because he was never cut out for such a prestigious role. He's highly insecure, he's very unhappy in life, he has no real friends, I'm pretty sure another divorce looms near, he lacks morality. He's basically just a very sad human specimen.." There are other examples of reactions.

Do Denver Broncos Post Threat To Oakland Raiders? NFL Lawsuit Update
On this Zennie62 Livestream on Monday night, Zennie Abraham talked with his viewers about the awful performance of the Denver Broncos against the Minnesota Vikings and asked if they posted a real threat to the Oakland Raiders? The Broncos were hammered 28 to 42 by the Vikings and in Denver. But the statistics show that Denver had a strong running attack and their defense held the Vikings to 4 yards per rush, but they were not able to control the Vikings passing game. The answer was that Denver had to work on pass rush and pass defense. On the matter of the problem with Paxton Lynch, Zennie Abraham believes that the plays he was asked to run were "not smart" as he put it, and "the Broncos did not put Lynch in a good game plan." Many Zennie62 fans believe the Broncos will not do well this year in the AFC West against the Raiders. But the Silver and Black, while posting a promising defensive line, appear to have a secondary that is still not quite at the ball-hawking level of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defensive Secondary. Then the talk turned to the "NFL Lawsuit" update. Zennie said that we should expect the City of Oakland to vote on the proposed "NFL Lawsuit" in late September. As to Oakland Raiders President Marc Badain's claim the Raiders would leave the Coliseum, Abraham said that the "Raiders under Al Davis would stay in Oakland and fight via a lawsuit - Al Davis would not run away from a fight, but these guys act like they're afraid. Afraid of a lawsuit. Afraid of the truth about the Las Vegas Stadium. And afraid to talk to me. True Oakland Raiders fear nothing. Maybe they're already out o Oakland? Stop being afraid!" Stay tuned.

Omarosa Says She Has More Tapes For Robert Mueller, Claims Trump Should Be Impeached
Omarosa, Donald Trump's now former White House aide, friend, and confidant, appeared on "Hardball" on with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, a moment ago, and dropped yet another bombshell. The author of the new book "Unhinged" says that she not only has more tape recordings of conversations with President Trump (and other staffers, presumably) and that she's willing to share them with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. In a long-for-television and wide-ranging talk, Omarose Onee Manigault-Newman, also asserted that President Donald Trump was racist. And shared that the time Donald Trump said that President Obama was an American and dropped the "birther" claim of being Kenyan-born, was something Trump was "forced to do, but did is begrudingly," she said. Omarosa also says that the infamous but not released tape recording claiming that Trump used the N-word would be "dropped" sometime before November. Omarosa also revealed that she did not sign a non-disclosure agreement and was given options of jobs she could take and earn $15,000-a-month just to stay out of the media eye. Stay tuned.

Oakland Lesleigh Franklin Threatens Jordan Cordova For Parking While Brown, Shows Racism Is Mental
Oakland, once again, the the focus of a racist incident captured on social media. Here, Oakland's Jordan Cordova and his friends are being harassed by Lesleigh Franklin, and for nothing more than parking their car in an open public spot, which just happened to be in front of Ms. Franklin's home. This happened on Saturday, August 4th. Mr. Cordova posted his account on Facebook: "On Saturday August 4th, my family and I were on our way to a party. So we parked on public parking, in front of the white womans house in this video. This woman began to confront us and began yelling at us without reason. Keep in mind that as soon as I saw her come out of her home, I sincerely asked her why she wanted us to leave. Never did i disrespect her in any way. She wanted us to leave, as we refused she approached our car and tried to open the doors. That's when I began recording because we felt attacked and we know these situations have happened already to black and brown people because of how we look. This woman targeted us AND even questioned our status in this country. I ask people to share and find who this women who claims is immigrants attorney. Quick Note: I am a High School Student and a proud Salvadorean in East Oakland California." Lesleigh Franklin, the woman, is not an immigration lawyer, Lesleigh Franklin is, and now was, the CEO of The East Bay Family Institute, and a licensed clinical psychologist who has described herself as "working with diverse populations in both school based and clinical settings for over 20 years." It was, until recently and after this incident, a position she held since 2010. On her Linkedin page, Romana A. Norton, Ph.D. described Lesleigh Franklin as a "Incredible colleague with a passion for social justice." Marisol Reyna, is both Lesleigh Franklin's partner and the co-founder of The East Bay Family Institute. And there's a photo of Franklin spread on a lawn chair on Reyna's Facebook page. Reyna has reported that Franklin stepped away from the business, but given that they are co-founders and live-together, such a claim may be to put up a cosmetic front that she's separated from the business which she's really a part of it - and perhaps to protect Franklin from the public complaints against her. Another Racist Incident In Oakland First, it must be said that being in an interracial relationship does not wash-away any person's desire to be racist. I recall the late sports anchor Doug Murphy of KPIX San Francisco, who used to come to the old King's X Bar on Piedmont and Pleasant Valley in Oakland after work, get drunk, and refer to his Indonisian wife (who was not in the bar with him) in the most vile, racist language he could come up with, then loudly proclaim he loved her. Second, the unanswered question is why are these occurences suddenly, this year, springing up? t's noted that extreme racism is a mental illness, but why do more of these problems happen now? Is it increased drug use in the wake of legalized marijuana? Many drug use studies focus on racism as a cause of drug use of people of color but does increased drug use make a person more racist? Something, clearly, is wrong. It should be illegal in Oakland for a person to threaten to use law enforcement against a person taking on a common social action, like parking the car in a legally designated area, or cooking in a legal area, or sitting at a bus stop. The Oakland Cty Council must take steps to stop this behavior in its tracks. Stay tuned. -- Phone: 510-517-7565 Visit my new blog:https://ift.tt/2zEJT5V Oakland's longest active blogger.

Lions vs Oakland Raiders, Return Of Jon Gruden To NFL Ends With Win
Jon Gruden’s Oakland Raiders best the Detroit Lions 16 to 10, and gave the coach called Chucky his first win in returning to NFL Football as Head Coach of the Silver and Black. The highlights were many: 1) A multiple offense that moved the quarterback pocket. 2) A bruising running game that relied on blocking description. Marshawn Lynch ran around end for 70 yards and a touchdown that was called back for a questionable holding call on the rookie Kolton Miller. Chris Warren emerged as a star with over 80 yards rushing and 8 yards per carry. 3) A defensive line that crushes pass pockets and featured several young stars in the making, most notably P.J Hall. The lowlights were few: Nine penalties leading fans to observe that Gruden did bring back the old Raiders style in another way. But, in all, Jon Gruden brought the fun back to Oakland Raiders Football! And that was just the first game of preseason. One issue I can see is the huddle. Hopefully Gruden has a no huddle package to speed up the offense. But overall the Raiders don’t get off the ball on offense as fast as the Baltimore Ravens of this year. They are the leaders in that area of playing fast, along with.the Cleveland Browns. Stay tuned.

Jesse Smith Gets Signatures At Peet’s Coffee In Run For Mayor Of Oakland
Jesse Smith sets virtual office for Mayor of Oakland Run. The new Peet’s Coffee on Broadway and Telegraph Avenue in Downtown Oakland at 1615 Broadway, has already become a community center. Because of its location right smack in the middle of the central business district of Oakland, you are likely to no only see someone you know but also someone you should know. In his hunt for signatures for his run for Mayor Of Oakland, Jeese Smith could be found at Peet’s, and he wasn’t hanging out for free pastries. Smith needs at least 50 good signings to be on the ballot. The last time he and I talked about this, the Oakland Police critic had 60 standard signatures and 7 “sponsor” signatures. One of the standard signatures is mine. Simple reason: anyone who is trying to show that anyone can run for the office of Mayor of Oakland, deserves my “John Hancock”. Considering the number of people in Oakland who complain about government, it’s weird to have only 17 people running for Mayor - and that is a record! There should be at least 100 of them. To date, Jesse has based his campaign in one Twitter account and failed to make any public speeches or press conferences - until last night, when he went to the Oakland weed industry candidates forum, and gave a speech he tweeted about later, saying he was the only person running who didn’t talk about himself. Well, there is nothing wrong with talking about yourself and the whole point is to talk about yourself. But Jesse is obviously gaining confidence in himself - will it be enough to increase his visibility in the Mayoral Race? Well, he has to be certified by the Oakland City Clerk, first. Stay tuned.

Cowboys vs 49ers NFL Preseason 2018 Livestream Talk With Zennie62
Much of this livestream was spent posting a blog at Oakland News Now that is an update on the Oakland A's at Howard Terminal, as my friend and source Vivian Kahn, contacted me to let me know I was correct about speculating that she was in opposition to the ballpark proposal. This is what she wrote: “My old friend Zennie has blown my cover. Although our property values would increase if the Howard Terminal site is where the A’s land, I oppose this location and Bonta’s as bad planning. Bonta’s legislation may be appropriate with respect to the Coliseum site, which would be true infill development, but that is not the case for Howard Terminal. Although the Howard Terminal site is currently developed for port use, some of which occurred prior to the passage of CEQA, development of a ballpark would be a significant change of land use with both economic as well as environmental implications for the western part of the Jack London district, which is now a great mix of light industrial, maker spaces, and retail. Moreover, although the Coliseum site already has a specific plan that was subject to environmental review, no such plan yet exists for the Howard Terminal. In fact, the proposed development of a ball park is not even consistent with the Estuary Plan, which functions as the City’s current planning policies applicable to the site. This is one of the reasons why I eagerly supported development of a Specific Plan for Downtown Oakland, which includes the Jack London district south of Interstate 880. Unfortunately, regretfully due to poor decisions by the Oakland Planning Department, that effort has not yet generated a plan.” Then, after some time, I focused on the NFL talk. The best team right now is not the LA Rams, who were clobbered by the Baltimore Ravens 33 to 7. Now, no, NFL Preseason is not an accurate reflection of team performance during the year, but it is important none the less.

Cowboys Cooper Rush Catches Batted Pass, Throws Completion vs 49ers 2018 NFL Preseason
What Cooper Rush, Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback did in the 2018 NFL Preseason Game Against the San Francisco 49ers is not common and very notable. Taking over for Dak Prescott, Rush was in a spread formation on 2nd and 10 with 2:34 left in the 1st Quarter of the game. Rush barked the signals, and the ball was snapped to him - and went over his head by three feet! Cooper Rush did not at all hesitate. He caught the ball, set his feet for less than a second and then fired a pass a bit low to veteran receiver Terrance Williams. He caught it. It was just another routine moment in the life of Cooper Rush, who went on as if nothing happened. Could Marcus Mariota do that? Well, he did. In the 2017 AFC Wild Card game, too versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He caught his own touchdown pass. Not bad. Stay tuned.
