Raiders New Head Coach Denis Allen
The Oakland Raiders Reportedly Ready To Hire Dennis Allen As New Head Coach:
The Oakland Raiders are apparently zeroing in on a favorite candidate to become their head coach, replacing Hue Jackson who was in Oakland for one season with an 8-8record. The finalist in question is Dennis Allen, defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos this past season. Allen was already rumored to get a second interview today and apparently that's good enough for Reggie McKenzie, the team's new general manager who came over from the Green Bay Packers. Allen has been a defensive assistant in the league since '02 with the Atlanta Falcons and then the New Orleans Saints. However, it's a quick ascension for a coach who was just in his first year as a coordinator in 2011 and speaks volumes about how well the interview process must have went with McKenzie. No official word has yet been given.
SUPER BOWL!!!!
Go get them Giants !!!!

Call your elected officials.
Tell them you are their constituent, and you oppose SOPA and PIPA.
Why?
SOPA and PIPA would put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines. SOPA and PIPA would build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.
In a world in which politicians regulate the Internet based on the influence of big money, Wikipedia — and sites like it — cannot survive.
Congress says it's trying to protect the rights of copyright owners, but the "cure" that SOPA and PIPA represent is worse than the disease. SOPA and PIPA are not the answer: they would fatally damage the free and open Internet.
Make the greatest impact by calling your Congressional Representative today. Hundreds of thousands of people are reaching out — email forms for your Representative may be broken.
