Notable for Seedy, Ravens at 28th and Patriots at 10th.

Why is the Raiders schedule so strong?

Al Davis must have somehow made it into Heaven, and pissed off God.

Why is the Raiders schedule so strong?

Well, for starters they have to play Denver, KC, and San Diego twice.  That is 0.6875 over those 6 games.  On top of that, I think the AFC West draws the NFC West this year for inter-conference play.

[Tonitrus]

Yep, Seahawks have the entire AFC West on their schedule.

Damn. They must be used to it by now but 2014 is not the Raiders years.

The fightin' Andrew Lucks sure got a nice hand delt to them.

[Admiral Yi]

The Missouri Sheep got a pretty raw deal too.

Surprised no comment here at languish about the SEC def player coming out weeks before combine.

Well what is there to say?  We all knew there were gay NFL players out there, they have come out after retiring before, so it was not some shock.

What makes this impressive is this dude is really putting himself on the line here.  He has not even been drafted yet.  It is 2014 so I think the clubs won't care, even if some of the players might, but still quite impressive taking a big financial risk there.

Well i was at least expecting something from Neil about gays and football.
