Y'all actually watching Media Day live? :jnc

I wish we could just skip to the game. I'm so over the buildup now. If my team wasn't playing in the game I would probably enjoy the festivities more but now it's anxiety and anticipation

No way, Grover. Media Day is fun. You just have no appreciation of the moment of the Golden 50.

Besides, you would not say the same thing later when the Panthers come out for their media session. Come on, son.

It really is sad, I have a lot of respect for Cam. He's grown up both emotionally and as a player since joining the league. He could of turned into Vince Young 2.0 if he didn't grow up.....

I can catch the highlights in the morning. Like I have for the last 22 years.

Watching something live where 97% of the content is completely uninteresting makes no sense to me.

The amazing thing is Cam plays in a market that gives zero fucks about him.

My biggest complaint for Cam is, "He isn't that good." He might not ever live up to his breakout season, but his team is better on the other side, and he is playing with very little around him.

?

He's having the best season of his career. By miles.

The only thing that he did better in 2011 is throw for like 150 more yards.

Would a market give zero fucks about him if they were dancing to Sandstorm like crazy at Bank of America Stadium?

He still regressed though. More of an Eli, which should be okay.

Not talking about this year specifically.

I mean, sure 2012-2014 weren't as good as his rookie year (although he was hurt all last year) but like I said, this is the best year of his career.

He's clearly back on an upward trajectory.

And I disagree with the notion that the market doesn't give a fuck about him. The folks that like Cam around here (and there are A LOT) really like him and the folks that don't like Cam around here (and there are A LOT) REALLY don't like him. No one is indifferent to him.

That's why I'm pulling for Cam. It's some guy somewhere in Carolina mad as shit the Panthers cut Jimmy Clausen over Cam along with Cam's million dollar sweaters, fake smile, and nonstop dancing. I'd love nothing more than to comfort a heartbroken female Panthers fan upset that her QB dances and smiles for cameras. I'd love nothing more than to celebrate with a female Panthers fan if her team wins.
Judge me NFL GAF all you want but I'm scavenger hunting.
Best believe I'm comforting the losing team's fans as well.

Salute to Justin Tuck and his wonderful career. He was a beast for the GMen and had a good season for the Raiders.

I think he'd keep playing if his body was in better shape. When he's been able to get any zip on the ball at all, you can tell he's still as sharp as ever, and that doesn't happen without long hours of prep.

But there's only so much you can do against Father Time.

Super Bowl XXXV

Look, Ray Lewis definitely killed those two guys. The evidence is all there, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Two human beings are dead—their lives robbed and their families left grieving every single day—because of this man. Their blood will forever stain his hands. Ravens won 34-7.

Raiders owner Mark Davis said Monday that his team is negotiating a one-year lease extension with the O.co Coliseum in Oakland, California, and expects his team will remain in the city for the 2016 season.

"As of today, right now we are in the process of trying to negotiate a one-year extension at the Oakland Coliseum to play the 2016 season there," Davis said in an interview with the San Jose Mercury News' Tim Kawakami for his "TK Show" podcast. "And after we get that done, we'll sit down and try to figure out where the future of the Raiders lies."

Davis said the Raiders remaining in their current situation for 2016 is "not desirable" but "in life, you have to do things that make sense, and this absolutely makes sense."

He said the Raiders are not seeking any changes to the terms of their lease from last season, so it's "up to the city" when the agreement for 2016 is signed. Their current lease expires Feb. 17.

"It's always more challenging when all you're trying to do is a one-year short-term lease,'' Scott McKibben, the head of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority, told The Associated Press. "These are more difficult to get done than a five- or 10- or 20-year lease when you're getting a longer commitment from all parties. But things are moving along, and we are having productive and meaningful discussions.''

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf also told The AP on Monday that she is looking forward to sitting down soon with Davis to negotiate a deal for a new stadium.

"Of course I'm anxious to get them back to the table to talk about a new stadium," she said following a news conference held by the local organizing committee for Super Bowl 50 in the Bay Area. "But I understand that their first focus is where they play next year."

Davis, who has had conversations with billionaire Red McCombs about San Antonio and visited Las Vegas, said he didn't consider any other temporary homes for the Raiders other than the planned Carson, California, project, which failed to gain approval at the recent owners meetings.

He said his visit to Las Vegas last week was "interesting." He said he had a "great meeting" with UNLV, whose contingent included university president Len Jessup and former president Donald Snyder. He said he also met with casino magnates Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson and UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta.

Davis said UNLV is building a new stadium whether there is an NFL team involved or not.

"I think Las Vegas is coming along," he said. "I don't know if the environment is correct for the National Football League or not. That's for the other [31] owners to decide."

Davis said Las Vegas believes "the Raider brand would do well there." He said he was unsure if the NFL would resist a potential move to Las Vegas. The league said in a memo sent to all 32 teams, however, that no city is considered off limits to teams considering relocating.

Davis said he hasn't made a recent visit to San Antonio. He made a visit to the city in 2014.

Davis also said in the interview that there are some other Bay Area sites that could work for the Raiders but that Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, isn't one of them. He didn't identify the locations he thought would work in the Bay Area.

"No, it's not," Davis said about the possibility of moving to Levi's Stadium. "I've always said in my mind, it's just not for the Raiders."

As for the reasons, he said the three criteria important to him for a stadium are "ingress, egress and parking."

Davis was also asked about potential interest in moving the team to San Diego if the Chargers decide to follow through with their agreement to partner with the St. Louis Rams on playing in Los Angeles.

Davis said he didn't want to say too much about San Diego because he didn't want to affect the team's negotiations with the city, which he called a "phenomenal place."

"For the Raiders, it would be great because we have a very large Hispanic market, and we think that's something that we could tap into down there," he said.

Still, Davis said he hopes the Chargers are able to get a stadium in San Diego "because I know the fans down there would like to keep them."

Asked for his message to Raiders fans, he said the fans are at the "forefront" of his thoughts on finding a new stadium for the team.

"They have been so patient and so forgiving through all of this that it's unbelievable to me," he said of Raiders fans.

Davis said the Raiders "have to have a home. We have to have a great home, and we want to have a great home," not only for the players, but the fans as well.

I wish I could find the article comparing the balls he threw in Indy (when he aggravated his foot), and the balls he threw against NE in the AFCCG.

It was something like 30 MPH (against Indy/KC) -> 50 MPH (against NE) for the fastest throw of the game. He's got the noodle for sure, and this should be his last season physically. The good thing is that he's rested and as healthy as he's going to get. So we should see the best of what's left.

This reminds me a lot of the 72 Dolphins, Griese went down (foot) in week 5 and Morrall stepped in, Dolphins kept rolling on that Defense and eventually Griese came back healthy for the Superbowl and came back in as the Starter and won, that season doesn't happen without both QBs much like this one for the Broncos
