Exit Arnette, Enter DeSean

The Raiders continue to make moves. After losing a game they should've won against the New York Giants, the Raiders have signed wide-receiver DeSean Jackson. Jackson isn't the great receiver he once was, but he still has speed and can catch; what more can you ask for from a veteran.

Also, the Raiders released cornerback Damon Arnette after the 2020 first round draft pick had a video of him "brandishing a gun and threatening to kill someone" go viral. 

Good for the Raiders! They claim they want good character/stand-up players, and it seems they're sticking to their claim. Arnette has had a few off-field incidents, but this last one, coming on the heels of the Henry Ruggs accident/release, left the team with little choice.

After watching yesterday's Raiders loss, where Carr threw two interceptions and the team looked uninspired and flat, my hope for a winning, playoff season is restored. The Raiders are 5-3 heading into next week's home game against the 5-4 Chiefs. Not sure how much DeSean Jackson raises the Raiders winning chances, but I'm putting my money on Silver & Black. 

Win, Lose or Tie

Note: Once, while posing as God, I made a prayerful plea, urging DeSean to come to the Raiders. How foolish of me to taunt fate by impersonating God. I suppose the lesson learned is prayers are not answered in "our" time, nor by imposters. They are delivered in a time only a true God determines suitable as a blessing.

Thank you Lord!
