The two sides were expected to be in contact as they tried to iron out remaining hang-ups preventing a deal. Owners ratified the tentative terms 31-0 - the Oakland Raiders abstained - on Thursday, provided players would give their OK, too, and re-establish their union. But players decided later Thursday not to hold a vote, saying they hadn't had a chance to see a finished product. By Friday, it was in hand. ``Pl |

The owners approved the measure by a 31-0 count, with the Oakland Raiders notoriously abstaining from the vote due to continued concerns from both a football and economic standpoint.

Kiffin spent six years at USC under Pete Carroll before heading to the NFL to coach the Oakland Raiders. His short-lived stint at the professional level was followed by another brief run as head coach at the University of Tennessee. When his supposed "dream job" opened, Kiffin jumped on it and bolted Rocky Top for the left coast. It was an odd choice |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - With no minicamps, offseason workouts or other football activities during the lockout, every member of the Oakland Raiders organization is now part of the ticket staff. Instead of forcing employees to take pay cuts or unpaid furloughs during the lockout, the Raiders have implemented a plan that allows people to keep their full salary if they sell a certain number of season tickets. Raiders CEO Amy Trask says the plan has been received well by the vast majority of the staff. It app |
