I can't tell you what to do, but my gang and I are moving on. I'm going to make this article short and sweet.
It's like the words of Dionne Warwicks' song, "Walk On By."
Move on, Raider Nation, move on.
One friend said, "He's gone now, leave him alone."
Let's talk about the new players and hope they do better. That's the past, we have to live for the future of the entire team.
It's like a man who divorces a woman who he thought would never make it without him. He keeps running her down in words, when the truth is that he left, and ...

Golf, for as long as it's been in the minds of mainstream sports fans, has been advertised as the gentlemen's game. While tennis has since cut deeply into that territory, the fact remains no opposition is as cordial as that which takes place on the links worldwide.
And with good reason considering the seriousness the players take the inane nature of some of the more mind-numbing rules which inhabit the dark recesses of these different rulebooks.
With that said, golfers seem to know every one of them and are always willing to call ...
“Rape. Murder. It’s just a shot away.” — The Rolling Stones, “Gimme Shelter”
I usually don’t start articles with a quote, but considering the events of this week, I think it’s appropriate. Tragedy struck the University of Virginia earlier this week, as men’s lacrosse player George Huguely admitted responsibility for the death of woman’s lacrosse player Yeardley Love.
Whether or not he is charged with murder or some form of manslaughter has yet to be determined.
Today, more shocking news developed: Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor was arrested and charged with the rape of a 16 year old girl. He could face ...
As a merchant marine, I work in the oil field in the Gulf of Mexico. More specifically, I work out of America's oil capitol, Fourchon, La.
As a Chargers fan, I'm pretty much looked at as a alien from outer space around here. This is definitely Saints country, and that's beyond dispute. So to wear Chargers hard hats and shirts around here, I can lay claim to being the only one.
Recently, our small port town received national exposure in light of the Deepwater Horizon drill rig explosion and sinking. However, that's not what the story is about.
This place has been a ...
The chain of events that led University of Virginia men’s lacrosse player George Huguely to allegedly kill fellow UVA student Yeardley Love is starting to become clearer.
Police continue their investigation as the UVA campus works through the grief and disbelief that something like this could happen to one of their own.
New details are coming to light, including more evidence found at Huguely’s apartment and a series of alcohol-related police incidents that led Huguely to this point.
Here’s the latest information.

Since the current tragedy at the University of Virginia, the media has frequently brought up the Duke lacrosse case, as though the latter had some kind of relevance to the former.
Because such associations are likely to be made in the future, let’s get a few facts straight:
The Duke lacrosse players did not commit a crime in Durham; they were the victims of a crime (several crimes in fact: false accusations, and much more).
Their community rushed to judge them, including preachers, newspapers, politicians, and assumed whatever “truths” were most convenient for their own agendas. The comparisons with Scottsboro are eerie, the ...
The parents of Mets catcher Rod Barajas came to the United States from Mexico, and he lives in Arizona. So Naturally, the new immigration law passed in that state has drawn his attention, and his ire.
Barajas was born in Ontario, Calif., three years after his parents moved there from Mexico. His father is from Mexicali and mother is from Michoacan, and his older brother was born in Mexico, too.
"It's disappointing," Barajas said. "I have a lot of family born in Mexico. You would like to hope there is no stereotyping going on, but it's hard to see that there would ...
If you hold a Man Card and you didn't get to see the horrific ESPN-ABC crossover event that landed her on "NFL Live" for a day, you may not know Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
She fills the airhead blonde panelist spot on "The View". Somehow she has fashioned herself into a conservative pundit by pulling clips off of Fox News.com and regurgitating them on air.
Can you tell I'm not a fan? Well, she took an even bigger step into the Real Man Doghouse Tuesday.
Hasselbeck, she formerly of "Survivor" fame when she was the cute girl in the skimpy shirt, took Erin Andrews to ...
Bottom of the ninth and two outs. There was a runner on first and a ghost runner on third, and Moose, the neighborhood meathead and opposing team's best hitter, was at the plate.
Filthy, drenched in sweat, and a tightly wound bundle of nerves, I stood on the mound (which was actually just a chalk line drawn on the ground)—the loneliest kid on earth.
All the catcalls of "Heeyyyy batta batta batta" or "pitcher's got a rubber arm!" had coalesced into a deafening cacophony of white noise, yet I could distinctly hear the rhythmic "thump, thump, thump" of ...
It sounds like another movie in the making. The Oakland Raiders' Rolando McClain saw it only one way.
To move above his trials and tribulations of growing up in a complex situation, he moved out by moving up in football.
Thousands of young people have challenges similar to McClain. They were born into certain situations. They are gifted with an innate intelligence to rise above their challenging circumstances. They fight to win. They rise above adversity.
As young people like McClain rise above confusion and poverty, you can be sure that the "bats" of the situation will try to attach themselves to the rising ...
