[kayzeezay]

[HNL HI]

What day is the team headed to Mexico?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

What day is the team headed to Mexico?

I thought I read Sunday, which to me seems too close to game day.

 

[raider5]

I remember hearing that JDR wants the team to travel as late as possible due to the high altitude and the air pollution of Mexico City...

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

And he dont want then young boys watching them donkey shows

 

[HNL HI]

Interesting, didn't know Mexico City was at high altitude.

 

[raider5]

Didn't know that either til JDR's comments...they say it's higher altitude than Denver

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I actually did know that, that's something I should have thought of.

Was updating some of my Raider notes today. Here's all the players that have *only* played in the NFL under the Reggie McKenzie era Raiders:

[northoaklandfc]

I think the team got there today.

TJ Carrie, Justin Ellis, Malcolm Smith and Taiwan Jones been doing a lot of promo around the city on IG.

I can't imagine they're missing team activities for that.

 

[sohi 23]

^^^^

Nah, those pics are from earlier this summer. Team will arrive on Sunday per JDR.

 

[northoaklandfc]

Ahh ok makes sense.

 

[sohi 23]

Only reason I remembered that those pics are from earlier this summer is cuz that's when I was introduced to the hottest Raider fan in the world, Jimena Sanchez. Peep her instagram. @jimenasanchezmx

 

[northoaklandfc]

Well damn

 

[The_Isomotion31]

No face paint. no want.

[raider5]

 

[HNL HI]

[raider5]

[HNL HI]

[dontsteponmyshoes]

 

[mr jordan04]

Any news on aldon smith at all?

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Rog is trippin cmon man

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Vic was saying Goodell moves at his own pace. Have to assume Aldon's agent has made it clear to the league they want this settled immediately.

Found interesting information on Raiderfans.net:

Any Player who has been banished under Stage Three may apply formally in writing for reinstatement no sooner than 60 days before the one-year anniversary date of the letter so banishing him.

The application should include all pertinent information about the Player's:
(a) Treatment;
(b) Abstinence from Substances of Abuse throughout the entire period of his banishment;
(c) Involvement with any Substances of Abuse related incidents; and
(d) Arrests and/or convictions for any criminal activity, including Substances of Abuse-related offenses.

Set forth below are the procedures to be used when an application is received by the Commissioner.

1. Within 45 days of receipt of the application, the Player will be interviewed by the Medical Director and the Medical Advisor, after which a recommendation will be made to the Commissioner with regard to the Player's request for reinstatement.

2. The Player will execute appropriate medical release forms that will enable the Commissioner's staff and NFLPA Executive Director's staff to review the Player's substance abuse history, including but not limited to attendance at counseling sessions (individual, group and family); attendance at 12-step and other self-help group meetings; periodic progress reports; and all diagnostic findings and treatment recommendations.

3. The Player will submit to urine testing by an NFL representative at a frequency determined by the Medical Advisor.

4. The Player will agree in a meeting with the Commissioner or his representative(s) to comply with the conditions imposed by the Commissioner for his reinstatement to the status of an active Player.

5. All individuals involved in the process will take steps to enable the Commissioner to render a decision within 60 days of the receipt of the application.

So we should expect an answer within that timeframe. Aldon applied for reinstatement on 10/27, so at worst we're looking at Aldon not being back until the playoffs.

I'm looking more and more forward to the run game. We need Murray healthy and present
