Nostradomus Lives at Raidernews.com

As clueless and unprepared as ESPN seemed at both the Raiders picks (though to their credit even NFL.com did not have video or even height & weight stats on S Michael Mitchell), Raidergirls salutes Raiders news site extraordinairre Raidernews.com… which saved the day with these two Nostradomus like articles published prior to the draft…. from Raidernews.com

Lttle Known Darrius Heyward-Bey said to be Raiders pick…  

“He’s the fastest wide receiver on the Raiders’ watch list, and no, his name is not Jeremy Maclin of Missouri.”

” He’s one of the bigger receivers on their draft board, but no, we’re not talking about Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech.

Try Darrius Heyward-Bey, the Maryland receiver who is suddenly everyone’s favorite for the Raiders to select with the No. 7 overall pick of today’s NFL draft.

Heyward-Bey, as in the guy most draft experts rate as the fourth- or fifth-best wide receiver in this year’s class…<read full articleFrom Sfgate.com>”

Amazingly despite ESPN and NFL.com (or Kiper’s dismissive “he could the #40th best safety or 83rd”) not knowing anything about Safety Michael Mitchell from Ohio whom I’d read about in this amazingly prophetic article, again courtesy of Raidergirls.com…

Oakland Raiders Need Ohio U Safety Michael Mitchell

“The safety was the Oakland Raider’s hard hitting Jack Tatum. Mike explained in the interview he looked up everything he could on the Internet to learn more about this safety that had so impressed him.”

“Michael went on to explain that since that day he wanted to play the safety position as Jack Tatum played the position with the Oakland Raiders.”

“From watching this young man play I can say he would make Jack Tatum proud.

Michael Mitchell is 6’1″ tall and 220 lbs. Although he was not invited to the NFL Combine he decided that he would make scouts take notice at his school’s pro day. On Michael’s first run at 40 yards he recorded a 4.43 and on another try he ran a 4.49 as he let up at the 35 yard mark because of a tweaked hamstring.

When he tackles someone on the field he knocks their legs right out from under them and delivers a wallop. The young man also has the instincts to play the position and reads and reacts on a play very fast. This guy is all over the field and loves the game of football… <read full article from Bleacherreport.com>”

All in  all those are two great jobs by the writers, and from Raidernews for keeping us truly informed in a way that mass media could never replace… nicely done!  raidergirls

*****  Editors Idiots note: 4:24am, channeling Keith Urban here at oh-fucking-dark-thirty… 
“woke up this morning around 4am with the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate…”  Arising at some godforsaken hour, when without even a glance at the trusty “soothing sounds of nature” alarm clock, you KNOW its the middle of the friggin’ night… ghosts and goblins time- the witching hour- blah blah… waking to the nauseous glow of a Sportscenter moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate. 

The Sportscenter set on TV providing the only light in the room, a ceaselessly flickering montage from a cheapass 27″ tube. The “digital comb filter” carpet bombing my bleary eyes sans UV protection, courtesy of  the Mengele inspired transgender incest between DisneyABCespN… whose Sportcenter set I can adequately describe as a cross between a violent dust storm on Mars and a Seagull regurgitating clownfish over and over again to feed its young .

-WHY IS THERE NO FUCKING SLEEP BUTTON ON THIS TV-

------------  <begin post>  --------------

Dear ESPN:

This is a breakup letter… I am finally leaving you. I could text you this Timberlake style, but I thought this most dignified considering our always passionate, sometimes fiery 30-year relationship.

I’ll be brief as honestly I am actively seeking a new paramour in sporting lust; a slimmer version of what used to be you… before you went Hollywood on me. No doubt you are busy adding widgets, inking the “Coors Light cold hard facts about the Budwesier Hot Seat” sponsorship deal, and playing with even more mutations of Pantone orange #021c.

Initially you were my savior, filling the massive sporting void between  5 minutes of  Ted Leitner  and Al Gore founding this whole internet thing. Now you have become a bloated caricature of yourself on par with Entertainment Tonight and the Springer Show, fellating yourself every time T.O. spews verbal diarrhea on the mike. Showing me yet again, 4 minutes of ACTUAL SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS, sprinkled amongst contrived drama between John Clayton and (is he wearing pants?) Sean Salisbury, detailing every chunk of corn found in the latest Manny Ramirez bowel movement.

“Who’s now” you ask? Well I haven’t found her yet. Yet unlike my proverbial childhood “girlfriend in Canada,” she IS real and she is coming. She’ll provide me what my souls seeks… raw, unfiltered, drama free, Hollywood exempt, explicitly carnal, sports footage.

She’ll sprinkle in some authentic commentary and analysis, but mostly she’ll just shut the hell up and “let them play.”

Boo-yah.

Sincerely,
Tanner Boyle

Dear Bolts… might we suggest a spirited chat with the Chargers marketing genius who engineered the unbelievably friggin’ puss-assed “Raiders Game only” ticket plan/scheme /conspiracy at the Murph? Yes the Murph, much like we refuse to acknowledge Candlestick park is now Mon$%er.com… sorry Qual$%mm  … never knew ya’ Mcafee. We would be embarassed if the Raiders ticket people tried to scheme just for “Charger week.” Truth is, we don’t fucking care who we’re playing that day; it’s irrelevant to the task at hand.

 Have some pride Chargers fans:  instead of selling your Chargers season tickets to us  Raiders fans this year, try staying in your friggin’ foxholes!

Need inspiration for sticking it out despite the siege SD? Then we humbly suggest watching Band Of Brothers part 6- Bastogne.
(or the real deal, respectfully)

While you are at it SD… you might as well quit greedily suckling the nipples of AJ Smith long enough to realize that you’re headed to Chula Vista… if you can’t be asked to put down the Zogg’s sex wax a measly eight times a season and get to whatever seats you haven’t yet sold to opposing fans.

Also, I’m quite sure we’ve observed a few your people sporting those <admittedly sweet> baby blue throwbacks humming along to our “Raiiiiiiiiiderrrrrrrs” chants at your house, which would never happen in Oakland. It’s ok boltfan, we know it the best chant in all of sport. Don’t fret, much like genital warts, you will always have this treasured Chargers keepsake to call your own.
