The Oakland Raiders have taken DT Lamarr Houston as the 44th Pick Overall. Surprising everyone, the Raiders have chosen wisely this draft. It looks as though, they plan to go Defense heavy this season, which is smart considering their QB situation.

Oakland Raiders have chosen LB Rolando McClain as the 8th Overall Pick, to hook up their “Black Hole” defense. Hey, at least the guy was listed in the Top 100. Could’ve been worse, they could have drafted Jimmy Clausen or Tim Tebow this early.

What was New York Jets QB Mark “El Matador” Sanchez’s secret to killing the Oakland Raiders this weekend? (Hint: It wasn’t the “Shaka”-brah)

“I want to apologize for that,” Sanchez said. “I wasn’t feeling very good and didn’t eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered [a hot dog], so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn’t have done that, and it won’t happen again.”

Looks like the Oakland Raiders are ready to start cleaning house, which is worrisome, because that would mean they’re doing something that sounds sensible. If this is true, really there’s only one place to start selling, but we won’t name names. According to Jay Glazer of FOX, the Raiders have been calling around the league and generally offering anyone in which other franchises might be interested. The only exceptions? The “really young talented guys.” (Um, do they have anyone that falls in that category?) - Via PFT

Bad Idea: Being an Oakland Raiders fan

Worse Idea: Publicly showing support for the Raiders

Worst Idea: Showing public support for the Raiders by attending one of their games

Dumb Idea: Showing said support for the Raiders in Houston, TX

Horrible Idea: Showing said support for the Raiders at a Houston Texans game

Terrible Idea: Sitting in the “Texans Bullpen” whilst showing your support for the Raiders at a Texans game

Unfortunate Idea: Falling asleep in the “Texans Bullpen” whilst showing your support for the Raiders

Best Idea: After getting taken care of for falling asleep by the the extremely hospitable “Texans Bullpen” patrons, you go “Raider Nation” on them and get yourself kicked out.

“Drew Brees. His stats are expanding faster than the universe. His birthmark accrues more fantasy points than Philip Rivers and it lives vicariously through itself. He’s never lost a sock in the dryer. He’s that good.” Around the Horn & Pardon the Interruption’s Tony Reali has unleashed his second Fantasy Football article for week 2 of the 2009/10 NFL season. (Check out his first one here.) Highlights include: Benching and/or Trading LaDainian Tomlinson Lady Gaga & Thanksgiving dinner Starting Adrian Peterson & Drew Brees (Duh) The Oakland Raiders backfield Dueling Antonio Gates Tecmo Bowl (Everybody’s all “Madden this and Madden that.” I don’t want to say it, but Kanye West just called Madden and told him he’d let him finish in a second but Tecmo is one of the greatest games of all-time.)

The Oakland Raiders official mascot Ice Cube showed up for their home opener against the San Diego Super Chargers. Do you think it was weird for him to see them in Oak Town instead of LA? Probably just as weird for the Raiders to see him as a yuppie celebrity instead of a straight up gangsta. Either way, at least the outcome was still the same: Raiders lose.

As much as we’d like to make fun of the Oakland Raiders picking up an older defensive lineman, for a 2011 first round draft pick from the New England Patriots, we can’t help but think that this is what a desperate Raiders team needed to do. The Raiders looked extremely retarded against the New Orleans Saints in their pre-season match-up and it showed the league what team will probably vie for worst defense in the league. Of course the Patriots have enjoyed business with Al Davis before, ie acquiring Randy Moss for a 4th round draft pick. The Pats would be remiss if they didn’t jump on this trade no matter how much they liked Richard Seymour, especially since it doesn’t seem the Raiders will be all that successful (as usual) thus encouraging a top spot for the Pats in that 2011 draft.
