For the second time in three years the Raiders will host a Monday Night game to start the season.
Oakland will host Denver in the second game of the Monday-night doubleheader on Sept. 8.
For the sake of my eyes, I hope this game is better than the 2006 opener.
The Chargers blasted the Raiders 27-0 and QB Aaron Brooks was a human pinata thanks to what would be the worst offensive line in football.
JaMarcus Russell's second career start, what's up with Lane Kiffin and Mike Shanahan's timeout that cost the Raiders a win last year figure to make for some fun story lines for the TV folks.
And if the NFL is nice, it won't make the Raiders fly across the country in Week 2, like it did after the 2006 opener.
The Raiders were beaten up in Baltimore in Week 2 of '06.
