In other words, it was in 2002. Raiders fans are betting on the younger Carr having learned from the struggles of his older brother to get this proud franchise back up and running ... wherever its future home is, be it Oakland, Las Vegas, Los Angeles or parts unknown.Whats goodThe much critiqued plan of owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie appears to be coming to fruition, and fans judged this new-and-improved roster a vast upgrade, boosting it 51 spots in the players category (to 48th). All it took was two years of deconstruction and two more building back up. Oakland has finally again become a destination for sought-after free agents like OL Kelechi Osemele, LB Bruce Irvin, CB Sean Smith and FS Reggie Nelson. And McKenzies recent drafts, selecting the likes of Carr, receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end Khalil Mack, have given Oakland a strong, young nucleus around which to build a competitive team -- and give fans hope for the immediate future.Whats badWas it merely karma that on the 50th anniversary of the September day the Oakland Coliseum opened, the Raiders laid a silver and black egg in a deflating loss to the Falcons? The Coliseum is not quite quaint, not yet old enough to be seen as historic and, well, it has severe and well-publicized plumbing issues. In these standings, the Raiders placed second-to-last in sports in having a great stadium (the only team worse? Uh, the As). The narrow concourse areas are exercises in claustrophobia for fans during games and, as the lone remaining facility to still host NFL and major league baseball games, the torn-up grass and baseball dirt infield is not pleasurable for players in either sport in the crossover months of August and September. Football players have to deal with losing traction -- and skin on their elbows and forearms -- on the slippery dirt. Still wondering why the Raiders want (and need) a new stadium?Whats newEveryone knows the denizens of Raider Nation are among the most loyal in all of sports. Theyd have to be, given what theyve endured since getting thumped in Super Bowl XXXVII -- the team has gone a combined 63-145 (.303) since. So its a testament to the fans and front office that fan relations is up 22 spots since last year, thanks in large part to coach Jack Del Rio, in his second season in Oakland, who has changed the culture and is a major reason why the excitement and optimism surrounding the team feels different. And Las Vegas move be damned: The fans have bought in, selling out season tickets and parking passes this season. Thats loyalty.Next: Philadelphia Eagles?| Full rankings Nick Chubb Youth Jersey .

Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Sione Takitaki Jersey . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. Manchester United earned the three points with an easy 4-1 win over Leicester City at Old Trafford on Saturday.A first-half meltdown from Leicester saw the game effectively ended when Jose Mourinhos side went into the break with a four-goal advantage. The game was well contested for the first 20 minutes, but Uniteds incision proved the difference. While Leicester struggled to pull the trigger, United went close with Paul Pogbas long-range attempt and Zlatan Ibrahimovics ambitious volley.It was skipper Chris Smalling who opened Uniteds account, though, heading home from Daley Blinds cross after 22 minutes. Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Pogba -- who netted for the first time since returning to Old Trafford -- all scored in a chaotic 10-minute climax to the first period.It was surely justification for Mourinho, who demoted Wayne Rooney to the bench after saying Friday that the striker had noot been the same player since he was criticized for his display for England against Slovakia in early September.ddddddddddddThe second half looked to be a case of damage limitation for Leicester, with Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez withdrawn at the intermission. But Demarai Grays beautiful strike into the top corner gave them a consolation.Leicester certainly looked much improved in the second half, and had Andy King pulled a second goal back when he was left unmarked in the area, things may have turned sour for the hosts.This was just the performance United needed following a string of defeats. For Leicester, questions may be asked about whether they can perform well enough across all competitions, but their performance after the interval redeemed them somewhat. ' ' '
