The Las Vegas Raiders are bringing a dose of their trademarked crazy to a third home city.

Over the span of the past week, the number of Raiders players to retire has grown to three. Running back Theo Riddick was the first to walk away last week, followed by linebacker James Onwualu retiring on Monday.

Then on Tuesday, offensive tackle Sam Young made it three Raiders players to announce their decision to hang up their cleats.

On top of that, Tuesday also saw a report from Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal indicating that vice president of strategy and business development Brandon Doll has left the team. 

That news comes on the heels of team president Marc Badain announcing his departure two weeks ago. SBJ also reported Wednesday that two other top finance execs also left the Raiders prior to Badain's exodus.

And just to bring things full circle, running backs coach Kirby Wilson retired unexpectedly just before the start of camp. Anything we missed?

The Ravens are usually overwhelming opening day. shit...we have a pre season game a week from Friday. No interest in the Steelers/Cowboys game tonight.

It will say a lot about both teams,  If Dallas cant get pressure on the QB they really suck since pit has a horrific ol.

Yep, it was just a matter of time for that team's front office to implode. Shame, they have some talent on the field, they just need the right coach

And they are paying Gruden so much money.  He is such a grifter.
