Raiders’ Woodson to retire at end of season

The fourth overall pick by the Raiders in the 1998 draft, Woodson will play his final home game for Oakland on Thursday against the San Diego Chargers. Think of it as the cool glass of water to help wash down the bitter pill fans in Oakland are facing with the possibility of this being their beloved franchise’s final stop there before heading off to LALA land. Players and coaches said this week they are determined to send out Woodson the right way at home.

The Raiders and Chargers are seeking to partner on building a stadium in Carson, while the St. Louis Rams are looking to build their stadium in Inglewood and are willing to take on a partner if needed.

That guy was TJ Carrie, who also had a pair of pass interference penalties, missed an open-field tackle on Randall Cobb that resulted in a first down and declined comment after the game.

The Raiders finished 8-8 that season, despite starting four different quarterbacks and their best running back, Napoleon Kaufman, rushing for a mere two scores. If that happens, it’s expected the Raiders would move to the NFC to avoid having division mates sharing a building.

National Football League owners will vote on January 12 and 13 in Houston on whether to allow one or two teams to relocate to Southern California. Neither team wants to lose their potential final game against each other as rivals. “On a game night, I’ll watch one before I go to bed getting ready for the next team, but I watched three, maybe even bits and pieces of four games just trying to get the overload of film”. “We’re all human, we know that, but at the same time it’s something that is out of our control”. “But until you finally hear it, you always think that it’s possible that it isn’t”.

San Diego wrestles with an old foe in the Oakland Raiders on Christmas Eve, in what could be the Raiders’ last game in Oakland. Yet this week, he announced he will depart the game as a player after this season. It has been an honor to have worked alongside Charles for so many years and have the confidence to call him what he truly is: “the G.O.A.T. He is, without a doubt, the embodiment of what it means to be a Raider”. That season he had nine interceptions and scored three touchdowns.

“The deal that was initially stuck was one that didn’t work well for the city, the county or the Raiders”, former Raiders CEO Amy Trask said. “It will be sad for the fans”.

Head coach Jack Del Rio and his team have no way of knowing where they’ll be playing next season so they aren’t spending a lot of time worrying about. They love the Raiders.

Real Talk: This was a contest that the Oakland Raiders should have won. It’s happened to them before, so it would be tough for them if it happened again.

“Crisis time is here for the Broncos, who lose a second straight game and now find not only their divisional title hopes in peril, but their playoff chances suddenly in question”, says Newsday’s Bob Glauber. They still won two Super Bowls and made the Hall of Fame.

Well, I don’t know about anyone else but I sure had a hard time falling asleep Sunday night. We all understand the things that didn’t go right.

“There was a sense of we really didn’t play as well as we’re capable of playing”, McCarthy said. But as someone with a longtime attachment to the Coliseum, he can’t avoid it.
