Random Thoughts From the CFB Weekend
Random thoughts that may be wrong, may be right, but at least they’re mine. 1. Al Davis and Lane Kiffin: Love him or hate him, all of football was influenced by Al Davis. Regardless of what became of the Raiders over the last 10 years or so, the man was as influential on the game [...]

And Then There Were Two- The ALCS Preview
