TOPICS: Segment #1: "Where We At, Where We Goin'?" Raider Greg gives his feelings on where the Raiders stand going into the 2011 season. Segment #2: "A-Hole of the Month....Al Michaels" Al Michaels was leaving Boa Restaurant in Hollywood recently, when he was asked point blank, "Are we ever going to win a Super Bowl while Al Davis is still alive." Michaels' response -- "NO." When Michaels was asked if he considered Davis a genius, he answered, "If you had a team that lost 11 or more games in SEVEN consecutive years, would you say a genius ran the team?" Raider Greg felt that we had no choice but to award Mr. Michaels with our "A-hole of the month award." Segment #3: "Raiders @ Broncos Pregame" The Raiders open the 2011 season this Monday Night in Denver. Last year the Raiders beat the Broncos 59-14, and the Broncos have not forgotten it.

TOPICS: Segment #1: "Raiders @ 49ers Postgame Review" The Raiders lost in San Francisco by a score of 17-3. Our passing defense was disappointing. Our run defense was really disappointing.

August 14, 2011 08/13/11 - Show #311: Preseason Game 1 - Cardinals @ Raiders - Postgame Show
TOPICS: Segment #1: "Is there a possibility of the Raiders moving back to Los Angeles?" A new NFL stadium is being built in Los Angeles for sure. Whatever team ends up playing there will not be a new expansion team, it will be an existing team that moves from their present city to L.A. The Raiders continue to be mentioned as one such possible team. Raider Greg is often asked his opinion on this situation, and he gives us his opinion briefly here. Segment #2: "Cardinals @ Raiders Postgame Review" Raider Greg and I were at the game. The attendance at this game is listed on NFL.com as 25,699....but it sure didn't look like there were that many people in the seats. At any rate, we were there and Raider Greg tells you how he saw the game and gives you his opinion of our new rookies and our veterans. Segment #3: "Raiders @ 49ers this coming Saturday - A Must-Win Game" All of Raider Nation is tired of the 49ers defeating us in the annual "Battle of the Bay". Regardless of how poorly the 49ers are playing, they seem to beat the Raiders more often than not lately. Raider Greg is also tired of this, and so he's calling this a "must-win game".

August 03, 2011 08/03/11 - Show #310: What the F&@# is Going On with the Raiders?
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. Segment #3: The Boneline (our toll-free voicemail line) 1-800-620-7181 Here are this week's callers: 01. NC Raider 02. N. Carolina Raider Ray 03. Raider Maniac from Central Illinois 04.

The owners voted 31-0 to approve their new CBA proposal. The Raiders abstained from the vote due to "philosophical differences". The players association agreed and signed yesterday. Raider Nation is excited. The season can finally get under way! Segment #3: "The Next Steps: What do the Raiders need to do to get to the next level?" Now that the lockout is over, many things must get done in less than a week. Free agent signings, free agent acquisitions, start of training camp. What must the Raiders do to move to the next level? What do we need to do to get under the new salary cap? Should we try to keep Nnamdi Asomugha? Can we afford to? Should we go after any free agents? Do you think Al Davis will come up with a big deal on a new player? Raider Greg gives his opinions.

He thought they left out another 7 players who should have been on the list. Raider Greg gives his thoughts on this story.
