Raiders 13 - Chiefs 10

Need I say more? It all come back to "Never give up". More later.

This has been a busy weekend. The Patriots lost, Mayweather wins, the Chargers lost, the Bengals beat the Packers, USC loset, the Raiders win.

Everyone is ready to write the Patriots season off. They lost 1 game. While I can't stand them, I am not ready to say they will not make the playoffs. The Cowboys lost in the last moments on a field goal to open their new stadium. The Dolphins played a masterful game on their home field, only to lose in the last minute passing attack of Peyton Manning. There were a great deal of upsets this Sunday. I say again, it is early. This is only the end of week 2. There are 14 games left to be played.

Side note: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. looked masterful in his victory over Juan Manuel Marquez. He was diffently bigger than his opponent, but he was so much faster than Marquez, it was like watching a boxer hitting his punching bag during training. Now, here is the truth. Mayweather will never be beatten, because he only chooses to fight people who are smaller than him and they have to come up in weight to meet him. Sure he fast, even faster than he was 2 years ago, but let him come down to 138lbs and see how he does (pound-for-pound). His camp is calling for Manny Pacquiao.
Pac-man has to get by Cotto, first. He will. But, Manny is yet another short fighter who is the best in his class. Floyd will not fight him without Manny coming up to 144lbs. That would be a disadvantage for Pacquiao. The added weight will slow him down too much to be effective against Mayweather. He will never come down in weight to fight anyone, no matter what the payday. He won't due to the fact he is trying to build an unstoppable record. Best way to do that...RUN. Shane Moseley has been calling out Floyd for three+ years, yet Floyd will not answer. Moseley is his size, has the skills, has star-power and a "Sugar Shane vs. Money May" card will bring the 20-30 million dollar prize Mayweather wants. Why run? Because Oscar scared Floyd in their fight. If someone who is naturally his size connects, it could be lights-out and nobody wants that.

I must tip my hat to Ray Lewis of the Ravens for stuffing the Chargers to end the game as the Ravens beat them. Thank you, Ray.

Now for the real stuff...

The Raiders went into Kansas City and came out victorious. It was a touch game, but only because it appeared that JaMarcus Russell had a QB meltdown. He was horribly off target. When he was on target, the receivers dropped the ball. I think the line did as good a job as they could, JaMarcus just looked lost. He needs to settle down, understand where he is and know that nobody is going to take his job. He has shown too many times when he calms down, there is nobody better at QB. Yet, I say again, do not worry, he will come around. He has a big enough supporting cast that he does not have to hurry. Everyone laughed when I said the Raiders would beat the Chiefs, especially when Vegas made the Raiders 3-point underdogs. As you see, I was right. The Raiders defense, though banged up, is so sharp, they have put fear into everyone they face. Michael Huff was not even suppose to play. He was on the verge of being cut, yet he played with the pride and pose (like that, Bro.) of a long-time Raider defender. Nnamdi Asomugha continues to show why he is the best Cornerback in the business. The Raider defense can stop anyone they face. My only concern is how the coach pulls the reigns on them in the fourth quarter by stopping the attack and going to the prevent. Please, can you just continue to apply pressure to the weak and wounded. It will make for an easier road to victory.

The Raiders play the Broncos in the Black Hole this Sunday. They will put the points on the board, offensively. They will stop the Broncos, defensively. The Raiders will again emerge victorious.

Raider-Man, peace-out!
