Oakland candidate scorecard

Reggie McKenzie is turning many stones.

It seems, at least once a day, a new name emerges in the new Raiders general manager’s search to find a head coach in Oakland. Tuesday night, the Chicago Tribune reported that the Raiders have sought permission to interview Mike Tice — only recently promoted to the Bears’ offensive coordinator position after a stint as the team’s offensive line coach.

Like Philadelphia offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg – whose name has surfaced as another candidate McKenzie will interview – Tice is a former NFL head coach.

Pats-Ravens: Brady chasing Joe Montana

Another great season by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was often overshadowed by other great players in the NFC such as Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees.

But now that both Rodgers and Brees have been eliminated from the playoffs, more of the focus is on Brady. He is by far the best quarterback remaining in the postseason.

One week after tying an NFL playoff record with six touchdown passes, Brady has another chance Sunday to get into the record books.

Antrel Rolle, Giants’ voice of reason?

The wind blows, fish swim and New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle talks. Rolle is a very good football player, but talking is the activity for which he is best known. At a time when pro athletes are looking for ways not to talk the media — specifying only one day per week on which they’ll do interviews, for example — Rolle is a nonstop talking machine.

He talks on Mondays, when players are still weary from the game and the flight home. He talks on Wednesdays and Thursday and Fridays, when the locker room fills with reporters looking for colorful quotes and insight.
