This Raiders season has provided little — if any — joy on the field.
But as this team bottoms out, there is one thing I have found to be truly competent and enjoyable about the Raiders’ season: Jon Gruden’s film breakdowns on the team-produced Silver and Black Show.
I’m not even half-joking.
While Gruden’s press conferences are sometimes interesting and certainly informative (so long as you don’t need any day-to-day information), they’ve also become combative, uncomfortable, delusional, and depressing.
But when Gruden does his five-to-ten-minute breakdowns of the pertinent All-22 film for the week’s game, I can’t look away.
