Just another day in the Raider Nation. Well, not quite. This season has been nothing short of tremendous for the Raiders fans of the world who have patiently stood by the mediocre teams of the last decade, waiting for the shining moments that had favored the franchise for many years prior (off and on, admittedly). The season got off to a great start with Jason Campbell in his finest form since

In great news for Raider fans everywhere, Richard Seymour has signed a multi-year extension making the 1st round draft pick we gave up this off-season seem all the more worthwhile. One of my greatest fears was having this guy either pack up and leave or retire before we even got to see those dirty Patriots use our first-round pick. I'm just glad we didn't give the Patriots a top ten pick that

Here's a NON-story of the year for you. I started hearing about this on ESPN Radio last night and my opinion on the matter has not wavered one bit. If you're too lazy to read the whole article, here's a snippet... It's only natural that Pittsburgh-area steelworkers would want to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday's Super Bowl. But a U.S. Steel memo says workers in the Clairton, Irvin and

Whoa, whoa! Bite my tongue on the whole "slow news week" bit. This just in from Forbes.com: Al Davis, owner extraordinaire, has taken the TOP spot in this year's list of 20 Most Disliked People in Sports. That's right, more people hate Davis for being an uptight, egotistical maniac than hate Michael Vick for drowning dogs in the bathtub or Tiger Woods banging a Las Vegas hostess while his wife

While my resolve to keep this train a-rollin has not diminished (like it has before), things are pretty slow right now in Oakland due to this little event called the Super Bowl. It's never much fun to talk about the Pro Bowl, but since there were a couple of Raiders there it's worth mentioning somewhat. Nnamdi Asomugha (who may not be a Raider for long, sadly) was obviously named a starter but

I was just looking through some of my old blog posts, when I noticed a line that was pretty applicable right about now... Enjoy the big game, and here's hoping the West Coast is represented again next year, preferably by some team we often talk about around here.Yeah, so much for the hopes there. As the years go on, it's looking less and less likely that a West Coast team will appear in the Super

A football blog that missed the whole season. Well, my life took a sudden and unexpected turn, not for the worse, just "for the diverse". In short, I was busy as hell and not properly motivated to run a blog not many people were reading. However, not long ago, I was browsing through the comments people have left over the last year or so, and was really impressed and touched at how many people (

Has enough time passed by? Am I jinxing myself? Since the season ended, speculation has run rampant that Tom Cable was in danger of losing his job, thereby ushering a new coach, new assistants, and a new system to underachieve under. First there were meetings scheduled, then there weren't, then there were again, but Al and Tom never seemed to get on to that topic that the meeting was originally

Deadspin, the world's most popular sports blog, has posted a series called "The 2009 Oakland Raiders: A Season of Failure" including some rather red-faced moments the franchise has endured over the last year. Note: If you're one of those really serious fans who can't stand to hear someone talk bad about your Oakland Raiders, you probably shouldn't read the above article. Also, I commend you

I almost forgot, but I spent a half-hour figuring out the first half of the draft order after the late games yesterday in the interest of posting it for all to see. Much to my delight (sarcasm), twenty minutes later they were showing the draft order on the ESPN ticker. Well, at least I did it the hard way. Anyways, here it is: 1. St. Louis (1-15) 2. Detroit (2-14) 3. Tampa Bay (3-13) 4.

Another (losing) season in the books. For the first time in four years we didn't improve, but we didn't do any worse either. With the somewhat speedy revelation that Jamarcus Russell is apathetic and not the guy to lead us to glory, we've seemingly taken a big step forward in righting the ship. Unprecedented demand has risen up for a legitimate front office in Oakland, and some truly noble fans

Nothing short of a terminated contract (silver, garlic?) will rid the Nation of the JaMarcus curse. After a nicely executed TD drive, Charlie Frye couldn't play injured any longer, and who comes in relief but the exiled loaf. Our chances of four consecutive improved seasons have just dipped some, but outstanding play by the D has left some hope lingering.My current feeling on Oakland Coach Watch

Say what you want about the state of the Nation, but every year we seem to have at least a couple of Pro Bowlers. For the last couple years, at least, we've had perennial standouts Nnamdi Asomugha (aka Jesus of Oakland) and the planet's finest punter (how's that for unbiased?) Shane Lechler make the roster as starters. This year, we've got an alternate in sure-to-bail-on-us Richard Seymour at

I begin this post among the scuffle that has taken place with just under a minute and a half to go in the first half. After a nice penalty call against the Browns (unsportsmanlike from Center Alex Mack), the field erupted and flags were going everywhere (Youtube it, it was pretty entertaining). Two penalties offset each other, and that would have been all good and well, were it not for Richard

In some very unsurprising news, Raiders fullback Luke Lawton has been suspended for the remaining two games of the season (as well as two next season) for violating the leagues substance-abuse guidelines. I don't mean to convey that it's not surprising due to Lawton's character or history (neither of which I know much about), but rather that it's no longer shocking to see athlete's being punished

After a few late season wins, is Tom Cable showing the stuff of a keeper coach?

But is it really a "win"? Any win is a good win, of course. In particular, this win assures the Raiders will finish with at least five wins (and two games left to play, one very winnable). This, in turn, assures that we will have matched or improved on our record every year since 2006. For all the hooplah about how dysfunctional this franchise is, there are at least a few other teams who have

Now that the JaMarcus Russell experiment has clearly failed miserably (apparently, even Al's quietly supporting the notion), a lot of commentary has been produced about what kind of move the Raiders could decide to make in the draft. It's highly likely the Raiders will be making a pick in the top ten this year, and many have speculated that Notre Dame standout Jimmy Clausen or Oklahoma's Sam

When Derrick Burgess was sent packing to the Patriots I thought the Raiders got a pretty raw deal. They gave up a third and fourth, maybe a fifth. Well, the Pats have gotten 2 sacks and 11 or so solo tackles out of that "pass rush specialist", and the Raiders picked up in the fourth round of the last draft what so far has been game-breaking receiver in Louis Murphy.Who knows what we'll get with

After yesterday's rockin' upset of the reigning champion Pittsburgh Steelers (and really, before it) I've come to the conclusion that the roster's contracts need to be upgraded and revised.Here's the Facts:Fourth-round selection Louis Murphy, a former Florida Gator standout, gets a contract for four years worth $2.18 million.1st round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey, a (snicker) Maryland Terrapin, gets

Time for my monthly post! Pretty sad, I know, but I've got like a million other things going on right now (including some sophisticated web design work) that's keeping me up to my neck, so The Home Field hasn't been priority number one for a few months now. Rest assured, it's not dead, it's just lying dormant, with an occasional stirring here and there. Let's take a look at what's going on in the

Very seldomly does anyone pay attention to the center. With the exception of Jeff Saturday (Colts) and Kevin Mawae (Titans), the position has had a very low profile since the advent of the game. However, with the current fad of appreciating offensive lines for what they bring to game (which is a LOT), the center is starting to get much more attention. That said, you should expect to hear the name

So it's been a while (again), what did I miss? Well the season ended. It was capped off with some new thing they're doing called the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh won, I think. I wasn't paying that much attention to be honest, I just tuned in to see the Boss.Seriously though, the only thing BETTER than Springstein's performance was the game itself. I think that's what they're going for with the whole

On my rather extended time off, I was fortunate enough to take in a local bowl game, being the Emerald Bowl. This year's edition featured Miami and Cal, resulting in a 24-17 victory for "home team". Anyways, here's some pictures!Speaking of Cal, look for a certain star Center to make the Home Field All-American list any day now...

It's been a very, very long time coming, hasn't it? Well I said things would be getting regular again around here and then shortly thereafter took the longest vacation in Home Field history.

Indianapolis at Jacksonville - Last week I said Jacksonville wouldn’t win another game this season. This time I mean it.

Before today, there were thirty year old fans in Arizona who had NEVER seen their team win a stinkin' division title. Those days are in the rear view now thanks to a smooth Cardinals victory over the Rams. 33 years, to be exact. That's hard to believe.I plan to use the EXACT template you see above when the Cubs finally win the World Series, except I'll substitute the word Arizona for Chicago. And

Back in November, before I wrote an article discussing how the Detroit Lions fell so hard over the off-season, I wasn't quite sure which team I was going to dissect. I certainly had my pick of underachievers, namely the Bengals, Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, and Browns (who were still winless at that point). Boy, did I hit the nail on the head with the Detroit Lions!

There’s some very interesting stuff going on right now, so let’s take a look at some of the highlights. • Only five out of twelve teams that would make the playoffs today made the playoffs last year.

Alas, the NFL season is drawing to a close once again, leaving fans everywhere feeling as though it has just begun. I suppose that's one more reason for an extended season. On a personal note, I apologize for the picks not being posted in recent weeks, it's been a bit hectic lately, as I explained earlier. Poppa needs a degree..

It was just another weekend in the NFL. Or was it? Now I felt pretty silly after that Philly-Cinci Game ended abruptly after the clock hit zero in overtime, and I sat there thinking "Where's the second overtime?" I felt much better about it when Donovan freakin' McNabb asked the same question... Even hockey gives teams a better chance at breaking the tie. I would say this should be looked at to

On the offensive side of the ball, I've added Michael Oher of Mississippi to the Home Field All-American Class of '09. The giant man-beast was expected to declare for the draft last year, and would have been a first-round pick even then, which says a lot about his stock after gaining another year of experience...(By the way, I have NO idea who those white folks are behind Michael, so don't ask.)

Michael Johnson of Georgia Tech is the premiere Defensive End in this year's draft class, and many analysts project him going in the #1 spot, a privilege that looks like Detroit's to lose. They have a LOT of needs, and DE is definitely one of them... Michael Johnson is rather light for a defensive end, but this isn’t stopping NFL scouts from going nuts over him. He stands tall at 6’7” and weighs

WHAT? Week 10 already? You know, a couple years from now this COULD be only about the halfway point of the season. Well, actually, it probably would still be at the same point, but it would be Week 12 with six weeks to play! Denver at Cleveland- Brady Quinn’s first start! Denver started out looking promising but recently has taken something of a nose dive. This could go either way, but I’ll give

Another week is past, and more revelations have presented themselves. I can't remember a season where the major contenders were so damn inconspicuous. Sure, the Titans are undefeated and already practically in the playoffs, but can they really contend with the big boys? In my opinion that question has yet to be answered, but then again its becoming increasingly difficult to tell who the "big boys

This is fairly amazing...This new Wildcat trend is really shaking things up in the NFL. New variants and a pretty incredible success rate ensure that there should be some great stuff on the horizon. I'll do my best to post the good ones.

Congrats to the Phillies on winning the big one! I'm not a phan or anything, but I was rooting for them this time around. Yeah, I know, the "ph" thing is pretty tired already. You gotta feel for the Rays though, coming that far and dropping the proverbial ball in the proverbial home stretch. Baseball analogies rule.Anyways, not much happened in the NFL today, but I don't know why I'm mentioning

As usual, Monday brings Monday Night Football, but something which is not so usual these days: it's a pretty compelling game on paper. If unbeaten Tennessee wins tonight, it's going to silence a lot of critics, myself included, about the true nature of the Titans. It's been a fairly easy schedule for them so far, so I'm not yet sold. A Tennessee win would also spell serious trouble for a

Another week is almost through and some new insights have been revealed. Some teams have made a case for the playoffs, and some slipped further into the postseason abyss. I'm lookin' at you, Chargers. Anyways, more on that and some other stuff when you click through. 1. First and foremost, I'm gonna have to stop denying the Carolina Panthers their true status as serious playoff contenders. They

Before we get into the specifics, it's worth mentioning that yes, Tim Tebow is only a junior at Florida and does seem like the type of character who would want to stay another year and pursue a championship. That said, the QB stable has never been lighter than it will be this year, so his stock would be considerably more valuable this year than it may be the next. He stands to make millions of

Oakland at Baltimore- After a tough win over the Jets, the Raiders have somewhat redeemed themselves after a demolishing handed to them by the Saints. Oakland has clearly relied heavily on their run, however, and Baltimore is more than capable of handling the ground game. Look for another low score effort out of the Silver and Black this week.Arizona at Carolina- I really like Arizona these days.

I think Dallas might be missing Tony Romo right now. Brad Johnson had a dreadful performance with 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions against the lame St. Louis Rams. It seemed like a good time for this to happen but St. Louis most certainly exposed the weakness in this team. This may bring new revelations to those who feel Romo is expendable or worse. St. Louis has defeated two teams it shouldn't

Possessing the speed and the size to be a coveted NFL cornerback, Jenkins likely would have been among the first corners taken in last year's draft had he decided to declare. His heart was in chasing a national title, however, and likely was interested in further improving his stock so as to increase the size of his first paychecks. Besides, last year's draft was loaded with quality corners and

Will he play or not? It's a bit unusual that's even being discussed and says a lot about the faith in backup Brad Johnson. Typically a broken finger on the throwing hand will sideline a quarterback unquestionably for a month or so, but this is supposed to be the year Dallas makes a return to glory, and Tony is supposed to be the man to take them there. This question mark couldn't have happened at

Holy crap. A guy misses a weekend of football and suddenly I feel like I've missed an entire season. If you think this league doesn't move fast enough, take a look at the events which unfolded over the last week that absolutely shocked me (some more than others).1. Pacman screwed up again. That's not terribly surprising.2. Roy Williams was (finally) traded to Dallas?! Just when they lost their QB

Baltimore at Miami- This is a tough one to call, because Miami is looking decent on offense and decent on defense. Baltimore is a beat anemic on offense but the defense has scarcely looked better. Everyone knows a rock-solid defense wins the game.Tennessee at Kansas City- Kansas City's nightmare season continues against the unbeaten Titans. Will Vince Young return as the main man? I don't know,

It's Week 6 in the NFL, but it's the Conference Championships in the MLB. That's got my vote.Dallas at Arizona- This is gonna be an aerial shootout and easily the most entertaining game of the week. The safe pick is another win for Dallas, but my gut's looking another way.New England at San Diego- This game is a test to see if either of these teams has what it takes to make the playoffs. It's a

After a season in which the faithfully mediocre Detroit Lions showed significant improvement, it comes as a surprise to many that this team has yet to find even mild success this season. Based on their track record through the years, however, it probably shouldn't. I must admit even I didn't expect this team to free fall so readily, as it's clear the work has been put in over the off-season to

Another week is almost under our belts, what did we learn this time?LT is starting to look a bit old. For the second week in a row the man behind your Vizio looked fairly unimpressive. Yes, he did rush for over 100 yards and two touchdowns last week, but he did it all late in the game and did little to help his team keep up for the first three and a half quarters. We've seen how fast a league MVP

In an effort to get these out quickly, I'll be foregoing any comments for the time being. Check back for details.Tennessee at Baltimore- can anyone stop the Nashville steamroller?

Carolina will have watched plenty of tape and will make sure that doesn't happen to them.Chicago at Detroit-

Being October and all, I wanted to repost this piece I did about a month ago making some predictions on the playoffs. Technically, I've got it all right as far as which teams are going, but you may noticed I kind of contradicted myself on the whole Chicago/Minnesota fiasco. This demonstrates my previous lack of commitment to either outfit. But as I mention in the article, in the end it's a moot

But not just another wide receiver. Texas Tech's own Michael Crabtree is making his case this season to be among the first wideouts taken in the NFL Draft. His numbers often look more impressive to casual onlookers than they probably should, as Texas Tech's blend of the spread offense is very receiver happy. That said, Crabtree is the perfect candidate for the NFL and brings size, speed and a set

You hear about this one? Anquan Boldin took a serious hit yesterday, but fortunately it looks like he'll come out of it relatively unscathed. As one of my personal favorite receivers it pains me to even look at this video, but I feel it's my duty to provide my audience with the big hits. Enjoy with discretion.

After last weekend's record of 8-8, there's no real reason I can give for you to believe me on these. In my defense, I didn't TOTALLY rule out a win for Miami, and you probably did.Atlanta at Carolina- This is a fairly uninteresting game if you're not an avid fan of either team, so in the interest of moving on with things I'll say uh....

Kansas City at Atlanta - Matt Ryan should be able to manage this game well enough to bring the Falcons a second win. Look for Michael Turner to run all over the hapless KC D. It's a sorry time to be a Chiefs fan.Oakland at Buffalo- Sexy Pick Alert. I got to have on every week. I think the defense which looked so bad Week 1 can win this one for Oakland.

A new layout is among us. There's still likely to be many a radical change around here as my HTML IQ increases, but it's a good start for now, yes? If you have any suggestions I'd be happy to not take your advice. Just kidding.Maybe. Now let's get back to talking football.

#9- Chris "Beanie" WellsIndisputably the most coveted running back in the upcoming draft, Beanie Wells is a shoe-in to be a top-10 pick, so long as someone in the top 10 range has need at the position. Though he is a junior this year, most analysts agree that he'll make the jump to the NFL while his draft stock is peaking. Unfortunately, his lingering foot injury may be damaging his stock

This is freakin' hilarious. It's not a big hit like we all would like to see each week on Jack'd Up, but it still probably hurts a bit if you're an eagles fan.Relax Bird Brains.. They spot the ball on the 1-yard line and Westbrook takes it in for the touchdown. Which worked out well for my fantasy team, actually.Like always, let me know about the big hits.

What did we learn?1. The Patriots can still win without Tom Brady. The Jets seemed more than capable of beating a squad with a backup QB, even with a narrow win against Miami the week following. In short, they proved they couldn't. This immediately takes the Jets out of the division title formula and jettisons the Buffalo that much further into the equation. Of course, that's assuming that the

As an update to my move from here to thehomefield.net, I regret to say that it's been a tremendous hassle through and through. At every step there's a new problem, and basically for whatever reason google is not recognizing my domain name as being mine. Basically it's been hijacked by spammers or something. This is disconcerting, to say the least. Patience bring promise, however, so stay tuned.

Ahh, another Week 2 of topsy-turvy W-L records where nothing is the way it seems. The NFL loves its reputation for having so much parity, you know. Anyways, I'll make some picks based on some combination of what I knew and what I now know. Oh yeah, red wins.Indianapolis at Minnesota- The Colts still have some issues to resolve, and Matt Forte looked like, well, Adrian Peterson, against that

In a blatant attempt to throw some college football culture in around here, I've decided to start a new series on the top prospects of the 2009 NFL Draft class. Granted, the season is VERY young yet, and it's impossible to know what will happen between now and then, both in terms of player performance and team needs, but I'm gonna take a crack at it anyways. This won't be as regular as the NFL

Time is short today and I need a diploma bad, so I'm going to let some pros do most of the talking for me. Let's see what's happening on NFL.comIt's hard to believe this guy won Rookie of the Year, took his team to the playoffs the following year and now is enduring this kind of hardship... An apparently drunk/high Vic Carucci lays out his power rankings after Week 1. Chicago Bears the 6th best

I'd ask if anyone caught that Raider game yesterday but I fear the entire world likely did. I turned a blind eye with about half of the fourth quarter to go, so forgive me if I miss anything in my rant here.First off, the special teams coach should be fired and exiled immediately. Those guys couldn't tackle OR block to save their lives. The only positive of the bunch was some quick feet on

In the midst of all the excitement, I almost had to hold off on the weekly Jack'd Up segment, namely for a lack of material. In my defeat, I was planning on posting some standard Associated Press vid that highlighted all the big headlines. That's when I realized the BIGGEST story was also the BEST Jack'd Up to date. You guessed it, poster boy Tom Brady's been ousted for the season. Christmas come

These guys have put together a killer forum that offers TONS of categories for all your sporting needs. It's well moderated and there's a pretty high population, so you'll have plenty of people to argue with about which rookie quarterback is going to have a better year.

As I've been ignoring baseball in such high demand football times, I'm going to do a little bit of analyzing on the season as it stands today. This will include a prediction or two about the way playoffs will shape up, and as we all know, I'm NEVER wrong.We'll begin in the American League, where the lead is shared by Tampa Bay and Anaheim. It's been that way for a while and, despite Tampa's

Sorry it's been a bit quiet around here today. I've been busy promoting the site all over this huge interweb thing. It takes quite a bit of time. There's some big things on the horizon, including a move to a more reputable URL.

Remember a couple of years ago during halftime of Monday Night Football when there was a segment called "Jacked Up" highlighting all the most brutal hits of the week? Well it is no more, and likely was deemed too insensitive by the higher-ups to be laughing at the expense of those less fortunate than us. Here at The Home Field, however, we don't concern ourselves with such things. So, on a "most

Party's at my place. You all know the way. I've been hearing a lot of hooplah about how the Giants are out to prove something after getting the media attention siphoned from them by their stadium-mates the Jets and their new messiah at QB. Look for some aggressive D and a notch under the Win category for the returning champions. Most are giving the Skins favorable odds, but I think there's some

Alright, sports fans, it's time to cover the final two divisions in the league: the AFC East and the NFC East. My apologies on the tardiness of this post, I like to have them busted about 3pm pacific but it was one of my busy days. Not to mention the woo of the wii. Let's do it.NFC WestSan Francisco 49ers- On a personal note, I'm quite excited to see these guys for the first time in years due to

Welcome to everyone who is visiting this site for the first time. Below you will find a wealth of posts mostly football related due to the present time. I've been doing a daily division-by-division preview of the NFL, so look for your favorite team and read my outlook on their season. Sorry to some and you're welcome to others. Thanks for stopping by and please come back often so I can stop

So in "again, really?" news, a tackle on the Jaguars named Richard Collier was shot multiple times early this morning while waiting in his car for two women he and a friend met at the club. Authorities have no suspects or motive, and he remains in stable but critical condition.These guys are professionals at being in the wrong places at the wrong time. Of course, that's not to simply blame

I usually open up with some sort of general observation here, but there's much to be done tonight so let's get right down to it, shall we?Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Last year's worst-to-first division shocker came about largely as a result of the signing of Jeff Garcia, who was largely believed to be on his way out during the whole Favre ordeal. When asked about this, the guy showed the utmost class,

Today I'll be covering the AFC South. It's a bit out of order from my original pattern. Sue me. Anyways, this division has been dominated for several years but for the first time it appears the mighty Colts could actually be unseated. Here we go...Indianapolis Colts: With 22 starters returning, there's no reason to believe this team won't return to the form they showed during their Super Bowl

Ever wonder what ERA means? Or how a Quarterback rating is calculated? What's a slugging percentage? I have too. For that reason I'm working on an FAQ of sorts which will cover all things football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. When I first got interested in the sporting world I attempted to find information like this and it was much more difficult to access than it needed to be. If you have
