TOPICS:
Segment #1: "What the F&@# is Going On with the Raiders?"
Once the NFL lockout ended, Raider Nation was anxious for the Raiders to start making some moves to prepare our team for the 2011 season. We expected them to resign our critical players, do what they needed to do to get under the salary cap, then fill whatever holes were left on the roster. Well, things seemed to be moving slowly in Raiderland. We weren't hearing any news of any player transactions. Other teams were making moves. We tried to be patient. The news broke that Nnamdi Asomugha would be leaving the Raiders for the Eagles. We were disappointed, but not too surprised. As long as we resigned our other important players, maybe things would be ok. Then today Raider Nation was shocked to learn that Zach Miller had signed with the Seahawks. Raider Nation flipped out. Our boneline voicemail system went crazy. Raider Greg went crazy. You'll hear all about it in this story.
Segment #2: "Will the Raiders get a New Stadium? Will they share with the 49ers?"
There has been renewed talk about building a new stadium for the Raiders, and possibly sharing one with the 49ers. Will it be in Oakland at the site of the present Coliseum? Will it be in Santa Clara? Will it be elsewhere? Raider Greg gives you the story and his opinion.
