Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden will miss a fourth consecutive game with an ankle injury. McFadden was injured in a Nov. 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but still leads the Raiders with 455 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. In addition to McFadden, the Raiders will be without running back Mike Goodson, who also injured an ankle against the Buccaneers. Both players had been listed as “questionable” on the Raiders’ final injury report of the week. Another notable inactive running back is Rashard Mendenhall, who will not play for the Pittsburgh Steelers despite not appearing on the team’s injury report this week. Mendenhall fumbled twice, losing one, in a 20-14 loss to the Cleveland Browns last Sunday.

Chiefs players, coaches try to make sense of the impossible after Belcher’s suicide (Shutdown Corner)

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn thought he was in for another ordinary Saturday at the Truman Complex, the Chiefs’ practice facility. He was made aware of a very different series of circumstances when he arrived at the complex Saturday morning and found that police had blocked off his parking space. The complex was on lockdown after 25-year-old Chiefs linebacker Javon Belcher took his own life outside the team’s offices with general manager Scott Pioli, head coach Romeo Crennel, and defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs as horrified witnesses. He had done so after shooting and killing his 22-year-old girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, and leaving their three-month-old daughter without a mother or father. Quinn was told by police to park his car up a hill near Arrowhead Stadium, where many of his teammates had already gathered. Crennel told his players what had happened at a 9:30 team meeting. “It was obviously tough for Coach to have to tell us that,” Quinn told the Kansas City Star . “He really wasn’t able to finish talking to us. We got together and prayed and then we moved on.” Moving on was all the Chiefs could do. After talking to NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith and Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made the call for the team to go on with their Sunday game against the Carolina Panthers, a game the Chiefs will host at Arrowhead. The decision was certainly controversial, and many believe out of place, but it’s important to remember that this was a decision the Chiefs made. As Quinn said, that decision wasn’t made without considering all the aspects and angles.
Bad Weather Survival Guide to Tailgating in Denver
Posted in Broncos, Broncos News Feed
Stay warm while tailgating this season (Credit, Michelle Perez) Colorado is known for high altitudes and cold weather; and although we enjoy over 325 days of sunshine each year, the chilling temperatures can be downright unbearable. Don’t let that discourage you from getting out to Sports Authority Field at Mile High this season when the temperatures drop. As many loyal fans will tell you, it’s never too cold to cheer on the Broncos. Here are a few tips from expert tailgaters on how to survive bad weather in Denver. Layer Up At the top of the list for enduring harsh weather conditions was one of the more obvious, but underestimated. Packing on the layers came highly recommended. From long underwear, long-sleeved shirts and sweaters to several layers of socks, Denver tailgaters say layering is key to surviving blizzards and cold weather. These professionals wouldn’t miss a game on account of weather conditions and many haven’t for over a decade. “We layer really well…football tights work well. Layering is important,” vouches Jeff Johnson, a veteran tailgater for over 30 years. Just Keep Moving This tip comes from one of Denver’s most infamous tailgaters and Bronco-fan celebrities, the late Tim “The BarrelMan” McKernan. His friend Jay “The HatMan” Hocking says, “You keep moving. That’s a secret during any game. That was Tim’s secret, you just keep moving and you don’t get cold.” Coming from a man who wore nothing more than a Bronco-studded barrel with suspenders to every game, rain or shine or snow or blizzard, I’d say this is one proven strategy. The Usual Suspects If you live in Colorado, you know that beanies, scarves, gloves, mittens and earmuffs go without saying, but we’re going to say it anyway. Colorado natives have thicker skin than many of their transported neighbors, so it’s important to remind them that these items should be carried at all times. There’s no telling when a little breeze is going to bring in a touch of chilly winds and snow. Like the saying goes, “If you don’t like the weather in Colorado, wait five minutes,” – then it gets even colder and you really won’t like it. So come prepared to the tailgate party with the winter basics this season. Portable Heaters That’s right, the same ones you use to warm your toes at home are available in portable form, great for the tailgate season. Some models come with car lighter plugins and propane connections making them perfect for the tailgate lot. If you’re lucky, you might be able to snag some traditional electricity from a neighbor with a generator. Bronco fans didn’t hesitate to put heaters on the list, commenting that they made all the difference. Hand Warmers Hand warmers and foot warmers are essential. These little treasures are hailed by Bronco fans as a must have in cold weather. You can purchase hand and foot warmers at many grocery and sporting goods stores, and they are simple to use. Just open the package, give the little packet a good shake and stuff them in your shoes, gloves, pockets or simply hold onto them if you came really unprepared. They last for up to an hour. These are the perfect item to have when the weather takes a chilly turn. Remember to bring them to your tailgate party this winter season. Shelter With the exception of your car, Bronco tailgate fans say to bring additional shelter gear, such as tarps, screens and canopies. These are useful when it’s windy, snowy, blustery and even for those occasional rainy days. Don’t get stuck hiding out in your car during the tailgate party. Pop up an outdoor shelter tent and party like the sun is shining. Check out Tailgate Fan to keep the party going at tailgatefan.cbslocal.com .
