Mark is an idiot.

Wow he got legit butt hurt.

Everyone getting on the Raiders for firing their PR guy.

Mark is an idiot but is this really big news? Football season needs to get here sooner.

I thought he might have given some draft info to the media but saw that he was banished since the 18th of April.

What happened?

^Essentially he painted the late Al Davis and Mark Davis in a somewhat unfavorable light(mostly on Al) and made Reggie McKenzie seem great. Granted, that there is some definite truth to the article...But I can kind of understand as Raider tradition is usually keep stuff like that in house as much as possible is it not?

I don't understand how Mark can be upset with the truth being told. He himself has acknowledged that the franchise has been under the weather for the longest time, there's no harm in having the public see what they already sensed to be true. If anything, it serves as a warning for any owner or fan-base that no matter how great your owner can be, things can always turn sour. That is a valuable lesson to learn and something I wish would have dawned upon Al before it was too late.

Is it really fair to call Mark an idiot tho? It was clear from day 2, he wasn't his father. He admits that he's essentially a casual football fan...that's why he brought in help and looked to greater football minds for franchise advice. I would've liked to see Amy stay where she was though. One of the brightest in the industry.

I just found out it weird that no one had us taking Hayden and we might have gotten more for the 3rd pick. I'm not trying to start a conspiracy

The guys on twitter had me

For the reasons that are being speculated as to why the PR guy was fired, yes.

I think Mark was pissed not of the article per say, but that it was written prematurely.

I love everything RM has done so far, but, he still hasn't won.

Don't be apart of an article that puts you in a great light BEFORE you win. It'll just make you look even worse than the previous regime if you wind up failing.

I could understand that. It's approaching that vain self promotion that Hue loved.

C-Wood and Tim Brown in that

Anyone know if Woodson got #24 back?

He's still negotiating with Porter for 24.

Vonta Leach is getting released tomorrow, should the Raiders make a move?

Would be great for DMC if they were dedicated to the run, but I don't see that move happening.

No Marcel Reese is a good fit

Reece isn't nearly the blocker Leach is. Reece at TE and Leach at TE would be

No room for a fullback on nearly any nfl roster nowadays, esp w reece
