Date change

The Raiders preseason game at Tennessee has been moved to Friday, August 15 instead of the 16th.

Hope you hadn't bought those non-refundable tickets already. If so, the Country Music Hall of Fame is nice on a Saturday afternoon.

The game will be televised by Fox.

*It turns out the media will have access to players at the rookie minicamp twice this weekend. S Tyvon Branch, WR Arman Shields, DE Trevor Scott and WR Chaz Schilens are rookies that will greet the media on Friday.

On Saturday it will be Darren McFadden and Michael Bush, who is eligible for the camp because he spent all of last season on the physically unable to perform list.

There will also be rookies trying to earn contracts and training camp invites participating in practices.

The Raiders have found contributors amongst undrafted players (Barry Sims, Chris Carr, Tommy Kelly). I'll be looking to see if there's a player that might do the same this year.

*Check this out if you're looking for a quick laugh.

And yes, it's sattire, even though I'm sure this what many Raider fans fear most.
