"Waste Time With Us!" ™
It’s no secret that the Oakland Raiders were in dire need of change. Last year’s 3 – 13 season has renewed an all too familiar taste in the collective mounths of Raiders Nation. Everything from strategy to personnel has been to blame in response to the recurrent underwhelming performances of the Raiders. Despite an abundance of raw athletic talent, Al Davis’

OK, Raiders Nation, I’m going to challenge your preconceptions a little. I’m going to tell you that Josh Harper was perhaps the best move the Raiders made over the NFL Draft weekend in terms of a receiving option for Derek Carr. Yup, you heard me right. Josh. Harper. Now, before you throw your computers out the window in outrage, I’m

We’ve seen big names like DeMarco Murray, Jeremy Maclin, Andre Johnson, Ndamukong Suh and Darelle Revis finding homes, potential impact players like Eddie Royal, Harry Douglas and Ryan Mathews land teams, and crazy trades being pulled off like Sam Bradford for Nick Foles and Jimmy
