You may not have seen it -- we couldn't blame you when the game didn't start until well after 10 p.m. -- but the Raiders nearly beat the Chargers in the second half of ESPN's Monday Night Football on, well, Monday night. By...

On Saturday night, former Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Jack Kemp passed from complications with cancer. While he'll always be known for his political career, he was one of the truly great tough-guy QBs first,...
