He has covered mixed martial arts and prep sports while helping coordinate online and social media coverage for nearly every major sporting event to come through the valley.
The Raiders certainly did some good things over the course of two days of joint practices with the 49ers, but the specifics are open to interpretation.
The Raiders made a pair of moves Saturday ahead of their preseason opener against the 49ers, including adding another running back who won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs.
The Raiders host the 49ers in the first preseason game of the year for both teams and coach Josh McDaniels is deciding how much to play his starters, including new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan recalled Thursday the story of one of his coaches going a bit overboard during a pre-draft interview with Raiders star Maxx Crosby.
A group of more than 1,200 fighters who competed between December 2010 and June 2017 is seeking between $800 million and $1.6 billion.
The Raiders expect to focus on trying to execute their own systems instead of designing plans to attack the 49ers during two days of joint practices Thursday and Friday.
Raiders cornerback Nate Hobbs hasn’t returned kicks or punts in the NFL, but he’s taking reps during training camp and is excited to show what he can do.
New Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has not had a great start to training camp. But that isn’t necessarily an indication of what’s to come. Ask the 49ers.
The Las Vegas Bowl has had an agreement with the Pac-12 since 2001, but the Big Ten, Southeastern Conference and even Big 12 could play a bigger role going forward.
Second-year Raiders running back Zamir White said the time he spent back on the farm in the offseason will have him ready if he has to fill a bigger role this season.
An uneven training camp continued for the Raiders new starting quarterback, who threw four interceptions during Friday’s indoor practice at the team facility.
As a way to reduce kickoff returns, the NFL will allow teams to call for a fair catch anywhere in the field of play and have the ball placed at the 25-yard line.
The Raiders might not have high expectations among national analysts and oddsmakers, but their star players have the respect of fellow players around the NFL.
The Raiders’ Josh Jacobs led the NFL in rushing yards last season as a full-time player and most likely would have the same role this season if he reports to the team.
