With the Raiders coming off their bye week, there have been a few bits and pieces of news that I have missed whilst getting a few days to myself. With the Chiefs on tap for Sunday, its back to six or seven day weeks through the end of the year.

• The NFL is ordering Tom Cable to undergo an evaluation to determine whether or not he has anger issues. NOW wants him suspended pending investigation. Al Davis has to have someone checking the bulb in the overhead projector.
• Tom Cable on Randy Hanson seems to be the greatest hit so far by a Raider.
• The Raiders team has gotten mostly healthy over the bye week.
• Chaz Schilens will get his first action since the opening of the preseason. Cable is happy to have Schilens back, "it started with Chaz, losing him in the preseason that that was going to impact us, albeit a preseason game against Dallas, I think we scored 31 points when he was in the lineup."
• Darren McFadden and his four fumbles in 54 carries will also be back healthy.
• Former Raider Jeremy Brigham stands accused of punching a former assistant coach of his pee wee team.

UPDATE: The fans behind messagetoal.com have reached an agreement with Clear Channel for billboard space along Interstate 880 near the High Street exit. After an earlier report on their intentions included CBS's disinclination to carry their message, they were contacted by Clear Channel with an offer.

Their message will rise above the NImitz Freeway in the end of Novmber and run for four weeks.
