It's just, he's a get after it type of guy." Justin Fargas. There are those who say that the Raiders should be starting Charlie Frye instead of Gradkowski but there is near unanimous agreement by fans that Russell needed to be benched. When asked directly what he brings to the equation, Bruce replied.... "I would like to say I bring some leadership and command of the huddle, a little spice to the game, maybe a little athleticism. I'm just going to do what I'm coached to do, just run the offense." Bruce Gradkowski. " Is that what the coaches will ask of you" was the next question. "Yeah, the coaches see that They have confidence in me to get the job done. Like I said, I'm just going to do what I'm coached to do, just run the offense, put the ball in players hands and let them make a play." Bruce Gradkowski. Coach Cable seemed satisfied and cautiously optimistic with the change. "Bruce was very good this week in terms of going out and managing and throwing completions. I think that got everybody in rhythm, in timing." Tom Cable. Coming into town Sunday is a very good Bengals team riding a hot streak that is going to be hard to stop no matter who plays quarterback, but I feel that we are going to see a lot different Raider team in terms of energy and determination. Now I call on the Raider defense to leave it all on the field and let's see just how good this Raider team can be. 
Win or lose the Raiders get a fresh new start in week 11. The GMAN has entered the building ! GO RAIDERS!!! . PLEASE, can the bullshit about injuries and lack of squad depth be put to bed once and for all Rafa has been at Anfield for over 5 years, spent 200m pounds plus on 70 players and STILL was unable to build a good enough squad that can cope with injuries!Sure he recouped half the money he spent BUT what if he had brought in the right players in the first place instead of the wheeling and dealing he has had to do How many millions could have been saved on agents percentages, signing on fees and so on Forget blaming the Yanks, the failure has been Rafael Benitez and nobody else.. (Adds health minister spokesman, WHO source) LUANDA, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Angola has increased border restrictions with the Democratic Republic of Congo where an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus is believed to have infected 40 people and killed 13. The viral haemorrhagic fever is one the deadliest in the world, killing 50 to 90 percent of its victims. The World Health Organisation (WHO) representative in Angola, Diosdado Nsue-Micawg, told Reuters he feared the Ebola virus may have come from dead monkeys in Congo's forests. The Ebola virus is transmitted by contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people.

Burial ceremonies where mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can play a significant role in the transmission of Ebola. Health care workers have frequently been infected while treating Ebola patients. In 2005 329 people died in Angola's northern town of Uige, close to the border with Congo from a cousin to Ebola known as the Marburg virus.(Reporting by Henrique Almeida; Editing by Janet Lawrence) Congo Congo. The man affectionately known as the "Answer” goes by a new nickname now, the "Cancer".
For those who haven't quite figured it out, the man I am writing about is Allen Iverson, who is in my opinion, the best scorer to ever play the game. Allen used to be the most popular player in the NBA, but nowadays, he is just viewed as a castoff, a ticket seller, gone are the days where people can appreciate his lightning crossover, his stepback fadeaways, and his unbridled passion for the game. “Nowadays we like to celebrate the conformist athletes, the Chris Paul's, Steve Nash's of the NBA, guys who although are excellent athletes in their own right, have never had the controversy, and drama to add to their on court genius. Iverson is of a rare breed, a player that has overcome more obstacles and temptations than most athletes of his time. From the assault trial he had to go through when he was 17, to the recent blow-up with his Grizzlies team; he has provided as much off-court drama, as the magic he produces on it, maybe even more.
