News, observations and reader questions about the Oakland Raiders

Waiting on D. Hall

OAKLAND -- I could be playing Xbox 360.

I could even be reading a book.

Instead I'm at the Oakland Airport, spending a couple of hours waiting to see if DeAngelo Hall comes strolling through anytime soon.

I could wait for the Raiders to finalize the trade for Hall and have a press conference. But the Raiders haven't even issued a quote about any free agent additions even though they've spent a lot of money.

There were quotes from Justin Fargas (a day late) and some pictures emailed out, but not even a boring "We're glad to have (fill in the latest Raider millionaire) on our team" from Lane Kiffin.

I won't be here all day. But since this is what I'm paid to do, I'll be here, hoping to get a word in with the Hall. I met him at the NFL Combine and he was cordial. And I'm told he's probably studying Raider history right now.

But what if I've already missed him?

Now that wouldn't be good.
