Guy and his daughter just won basketball signed by Kevin Durant. As the losing father and daughter walked off the court Steph Curry grabbed their ball and signed it
Jags QB Gardner Minshew on playing last game at the Coliseum: "It was definitely an awesome experience to be here and play in the last game. Probably saw more middle fingers today than I have in my whole life. They have a good time. It was fun to ruin that for them."
Karl Joseph on his 1Q hit that drew an unnecessary roughness flag: "I knew what kind of receivers they had, they were physical receivers. I wanted to set the tone early, letting them know what kind of game it was going to be."
Raiders TE Lee Smith: "I’m just a dumb-ass redneck. You don’t have to be real smart to realize Derek Carr’s a pretty good football player. I truly believe he’s the future at that quarterback position in our league. He’s the young quarterback that’s going to be kind of the face."
1 year ago today I had the 1st of 2 brain surgeries. The Bay Area sports media in general and the MLB community across the country lifted me on their shoulders and wouldn't let me ever stop my journey back. Huge thanks to the

's for all they've done as well
Del Rio will point to TOs and pens but coaching wears this one. Play-calling on offense, another questionable 4th down call by JDR, defense forgetting to cover RB
21 runs by A's is most offensive production by an offense at the Coliseum since the Raiders put up 33 points vs Colts in 2016 on Christmas Eve, the Derek Carr broken leg game
Mo Hurst on the topic of tanking: "Definitely not tanking. Every day we go out there we give it our all. We don’t prepare the way we do to tank. That’s annoying to hear from fans. It definitely pisses us off. It’s disrespectful."
Love the narrative that Mark Davis could have/should have spent $100 mil for Gruden on new stadium in Oakland. Tell me, oh wise ones, what kind of stadium can you build for $100 million these day?

If the Betsy Ross Flag, the flag of the American Revolution, is too offensive for Nike to commemorate The 4th of July maybe Nike should go with this... seems to be more in line with their views.
Raiders have outscored an opponent in the 2nd half once in 14 games this season. They've been shut out in the second half four times, including the last two games. Coaching?
Clelin Ferrell earlier this week: "You can kind of get mad at him sometimes because Maxx will forget the play or Maxx is out there running around, and you’re like, ‘Maxx, what are you doing?’ But then he’ll go out there and make a great play or get a good pressure."

Spent the last few minutes talking with the Oakland A's PR department. Another step closer to being back to myself and it made me feel really good about the upcoming season.

Heard a great story yesterday at presser from former player who said Jeff George got play call from Gruden, said screw it, drew up his own play. And that was the end of the JG tenure in Oakland.
Tennis is zooming in on microscopic grass grains to figure out if balls are in or out and the NFL is using 60 year old men with a giant metal chain to measure down and distance.
CB Daryl Worley on what he's seen from
#Raiders
defense while suspended: "We need to have more effort. That’s all around, all 11 guys, whoever it is out there on the field no matter who it may be. We need to fly around like we were in training camp on defense."
Khalil Mack has recorded a sack and a forced fumble in all 3 games this season.
The last player to record a sack and forced fumble in 3 straight games? Khalil Mack, who did it from Week 12-14 in 2016.
Key issue in Raiders issues: For years they had Lechler and King to bail out a struggling offense and flip field position. They don't have that this year. Townsend has been mediocre on his best days and downright awful on the others.
Jalen Richard: "The energy was crazy in the stadium today. To get a win for this city, what they’re going through ... not knowing the situation, to get them a win and to have them turn up tonight, it’s a good feeling."
A Nationals fan just performed the heimlich maneuver on an elderly woman sitting in the section next to his. Very well may have saved her life. Humanity at its best!
You can say the A's are beating up on cruddy teams like the Blue Jays and Tigers but as

Mark Canha was asked, on giant video scoreboard, to name as many top musicians as he could. Mac Dre was one of them. Canha gets a pass for the rest of the year on that one
Unless you were let into the stadium without a ticket or credential, there is no such thing as free baseball. And writers who continually use this term should have their credentials revoked
