...solos and eight assisted. Four and a half of those tackles accounted for losses totaling 14 yards. Bryant will be looking to bolster a Raider defense that ranked 31st in rush yards allowed, 27th in total yards allowed, and 24th in points allowed.

...start piling up, the locker room becomes a toxic place.

"So worst-case scenario to us would be a third of what we would have lost...
...teams of New England. To put it bluntly: they suck. The Celtics have reached such an astounding level of crapitude that I would wager Paul Pierce contemplates skipping practice every day of the year. As for the Patriots, was anybody outside of New England upset when they blew the AFC championship game back in January...
