As a die hard Oakland Raider fan, I remember the battle cries of nine years ago, ‘There’s a new kid in town” was the chant that welcomed coach Jon Gruden to the Oakland Raider ogranization. With his mean scowl and hot tempered ways, he was colorfully coined “Chucky” after …

Brooking put forth some filthy efforts for the “Dirty Birds” in 2003. The Prow Bowl linebacker led the Falcons with 144 tackles, that made him second in the NFC, and had five games with double-digit solo stops. He seems pretty small to be doing that at 6′2″ and 245 …
