Carr, who has helmed the Raiders since 2014 and has never played fewer than 15 games at quarterback for Las Vegas, was asked the inevitable question about the Brady rumors and if he was now immune to them.

Dennis Pitta dislocated and fractured his right hip last July in a preseason collision with James Ihedigbo, had surgery shortly thereafter and was back on the field in about five months. That sounds like forever, and a fracture-dislocation sounds terrible, but it could have been far worse. The fracture wasn’t displaced, ligaments and cartilage weren’t damaged, and the blood flow to the hip wasn’t compromised. A small bone fragment had to be removed, but none of the surrounding muscles were compromised during the procedure and Pitta rehabbed well....

Sorry about the lack of blogging last night, but it was a busy one. There was a trip into Glasgow for a couple of hours, followed by time spent attempting to salvage a team from the debris of my work side’s game against my club tomorrow. I have a magnificent seven when all is said and done, which effectively rules out such niceties as a slip, third man or fine leg, but will focus the bowlers on line and length and means that point and square leg have a lot of ground to cover....
