TOPICS: Segment #1: "Stop The Timidity"

Raider Greg reads an article from one of our favorite Raider blogs, the RaiderTake. The title of the article is "Stop The Timidity", and the theme is that the Raiders should not use a conservative, gradual approach in regards to our rookie players (and our 2nd and 3rd year players). We should play them aggressively. Raider Greg adds his thoughts.

Segment #2: Believe it or not....The Chiefs Could Take The AFC West......NOT!

From an article in the Kansas City Star website entitled, "Believe it: This is how the Chiefs can win the AFC West in 2009".

The author outlines reasons why the Chiefs could win the division. He mentions the Chargers and Broncos, but there is not one mention of the Raiders in the article at all, as if they are no threat at all in the division. Raider Greg covers the article, plus adds opinions from Chiefs fans who commented at the end of the article. Very interesting.
