Oakland Raiders Lose To LA Rams 33 To 13, Jon Gruden Must Fix Derek Carr’s Footwork
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.

Naomi Osaka Beat Serena Williams But US Open Owes Serena A Huge Apology
Naomi Osaka Beat Serena Williams But US Open Owes Serena A Huge Apology. And for allowing the Umpire to insert himself in the match in a way that can only be described as unacceptable. He took a game point from Serena that was not necessary. Still, Naomi Osaka played her tail off and delivered an incredible Naomi Osaka Beat Serena Williams But US Open Owes Serena A Huge Apology number of aces. She is just 20 and will be back. The code violations were stupid. The coaching claim could have applied to either Naomi’s side or Serena’s side. Serena was right: the umpire was a thief. But Naomi Osaka is the champion.

Amy Trask Was Oakland Raiders CEO, That Legacy Must Be Remembered.
Amy Trask Was Oakland Raiders CEO, That Legacy Must Be Remembered. And because someone on Twitter referred to Amy as “our Raiderette”. Amy didn’t take issue with it, but I believe that is not the way she should be referred to. It should be “Our CEO of The Oakland Raiders.” Period.

John McWhorter, Columbia Linguistics Professor, former Oaklander and patron at The Alley, and friend, just appeared on “The 11th Hour” with Brian Williams on MSNBC. In his role as MSNBC’s designated linguistics expert, John was asked to decipher Trump’s speech. Professor McWhorter hilariously compared him to someone’s rather gauche, bare-chested uncle “saying whatever comes to his mind” with a beer in his hand, sitting in a lawn chair, by the pool. Watch the vlog to see for yourself. Stay tuned.

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.
