In the shrine are tangible items from his illustrious football career. Every article was selected by Allen for a particular purpose and reason.

| 8/01/25 | 49ers Radio Announcer Greg Papa Diagnosed With Cancer, Is 'Stepping Away' From Broadcasts for Now. The voice of the 49ers and former longtime voice of the Raiders Greg Papa announced Friday that he's being treated for cancer, and will not be calling 49ers games anytime soon, but hopes to return to the booth. When longtime Oakland Raiders radio announcer Greg Papa switched to being the San Francisco 49ers radio announcer in 2019 after the Raiders left town, we wondered if his signature “Touchdown, Rrrrraiders!” call would transfer as well to his new call, “Touchdown, San… Fran… Cisco!” And it certainly did, thanks to Papa's long-established authenticity, charm, and encyclopedic knowledge of sports.

| 7/31/25 | Former Raiders draft pick quietly calls it quits after missing entire 2024 season. The Oakland Raiders went to the playoffs during the 2016 NFL season on the back of an incredibly young and talented roster. MVP candidate Derek Carr was the obvious star, but skill position players drafted by the franchise like Amari Cooper and Latavius Murray were key cogs in the machine as well. Despite a 12-4 record and a campaign that never reached its full potential due to a broken leg sustained by Carr in Week 16, the team went through several changes during the offseason. The most disappointing of which was the loss of Murray, who signed with the Vikings in free agency. Source: https://justblogbaby.com/former-raiders-draft-pick... |
| 7/27/25 | How one player single-handedly cost the Raiders their most recent Super Bowl ring. The Oakland Raiders had been building a solid program under head coach Jon Gruden from 1998 to 2001. A strange series of events, however, led to Gruden being traded from Oakland to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the 2002 NFL season. Gruden's replacement, Bill Callahan, was actually the one who got the Silver and Black over the hump. After two early postseason exits in 2000 and 2001 with Gruden, Callahan and the Raiders blew through the AFC playoffs in 2002 en route to an appearance in Super Bowl XXXVII.

| 7/22/25 | Should Amari Cooper and the Raiders Reunite?. The Las Vegas Raiders, then known as the Oakland Raiders, spent the fifth pick in the 2015 draft to bring in an explosive receiver named Amari Cooper. Why would the Raiders want to sign a 31-year-old Cooper who's well past his prime? Tre Tucker is expected to be their second-best option, but it isn't as if they're dead set on keeping Tucker around for the future either.

| 7/14/25 | Former Raiders QB Derek Carr Sounds Off on Arrowhead Stadium. Former Las Vegas and Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr gave his list of the loudest NFL stadiums during his NFL career, and the second loudest came from the Raiders AFC West rival, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are known for having a good home-field advantage, no matter who plays but especially when the Raiders come rolling into Kansas City. Arrowhead Stadium is something like no other.

| 7/04/25 | Derek Carr: I Had ‘One Of My Favorite Throws Of My Life’ Against Steelers. The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ oldest rivals. In the 1970s, when they were the Oakland Raiders, they were a perennial Super Bowl contender in the AFC. That often brought them into conflict with the Steelers, who were building a dynasty during that decade. In recent years, that rivalry has been […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/07/derek-carr-i-had... |
| 7/02/25 | Anticipated Headlines Before Bucs' 2025 Season. Like when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers demolished the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, the instantly-produced cover of the local paper, the Union-Tribune just said, "Bucs Win!" Or when a duck famously camped out on the Raymond James Stadium field during the action in a blowout win over Carolina, in which rookie sensation Bucky Irving accounted for 190 yards from scrimmage, the Tampa Bay Times declared that, "Everything's ducky for Bucky Irving." The Buccaneers are currently on hiatus – at least the players and coaches are – as the NFL takes one last extended break before ramping back up for training camp later this month.

| 6/30/25 | Top 50 Cal Pros: No. 23 -- Nnamdi Asomugha, Hot Corner on Defense. Why we ranked him here: Taken with the 31st pick in the first round of the 2003 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders, Asomugha was immediately plugged in at cornerback. Asomugha was a three-time Pro Bowl pick, a first-team AP All-Pro in 2008 and 2010, and a second-team choice in 2006 and 2009. Source: https://www.si.com/college/cal/best-of/top-50-cal-... |
| 6/14/25 | The Top 100 Plays of the First Quarter of the Century: 91-95. Setting the stage: Long before there was Odell Beckham Jr., there was Oronde Gadsden. Unfortunately, his ridiculous one-handed catch against the Oakland Raiders in the 2000 playoffs was a small consolation on an otherwise dreary day for the Dolphins, who sustained a 27-0 loss one week after their thrilling 23-17 overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts. It already was a 27-0 score when Gadsden made his remarkable play, which he almost topped with another incredible one-handed catch over the middle against the New York Jets in 2002. The play: Two series after Oakland made it 27-0, the Dolphins faced a second-and-17 from their own 28 after Jay Fiedler was sacked for a 7-yard loss.

| 5/15/25 | Buccaneers legend to be placed in Bucs Ring of Honor. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the early 2000s are rightfully recognized as one of the greatest defenses in NFL history. Monte Kiffin's group was absolutely loaded with talent at all levels, and they proved to be an unstoppable force as they dominated their competition before eventually eviscerating the Oakland Raiders by a score of 48-21 in Super Bowl 37. It was the first Super Bowl victory for the Tampa Bay Buccanees and their fans. The majority of defensive players from that championship team have since received their due respect, including Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp, John Lynch and Ronde Barber, each of whom has not only been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but the Bucs' Ring of Honor as well.

| 3/21/25 | Former Raider Jon Gruden Wants to Return to the NFL. The Raiders franchise have had their share of well know head coaches. The Silver and Black have also always given opportunities to multiple coaches throughout their franchise's history.

Edge rusher Quinton Bell, a restricted free agent who joined the Dolphins last season and played reasonably well, has been informed he won't receive a tender from the team, according to an ESPN report, meaning he'll become a free agent Wednesday, the first day of the new league year. Bell, 28, totaled 27 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble while appearing in all 17 games, mostly on special teams. Bell, a 2019 seventh-round pick by the Oakland Raiders out of Prairie View A&M, played a career-best 257 snaps (24 percent of the Dolphins' defensive snaps) from scrimmage last season while playing 372 snaps (84 percent) on special teams.

| 2/24/25 | From the Vault: Rod Woodson helped jumpstart a Super Bowl run with 98-yard pick six against Denver Broncos. The only thing in the way of Woodson on his way to the end zone was Denver's high altitude. "Once I got to the end zone, I realized I couldn't breathe because there was no oxygen up that far in Denver," he joked. It was arguably Woodson's biggest play made during his tenure with the Oakland Raiders, a team he admired since he was a child. In fact, the name of the first Pop Warner team he ever played for in Fort Wayne, Indiana was the PAL Raiders, translating into an early fandom for the team that had stars like Ken Stabler, Willie Brown and Jack Tatum.
