It's RIVALRY WEEK between the Raiders and the Chiefs!
Let's throw it back to my favorite game I ever coached... January 2nd, 2000!
What a great day that was, let's go RAIDERS!!
🚨 KIRK COUSINS JUST MADE RAIDERS HISTORY. 🚨
He becomes the first QB in franchise history to throw 3+ passing TDs in each of the first 3 games of a season.
🚨🚨THIS IS AWESOME🚨🚨
#RAIDERS ROOKIE FERNANDO MENDOZA IS STARTING A SERIES CALLED “FINANCE WITH FERNANDO” TO HELP TEACH GEN Z ABOUT MONEY AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
“My true passion is fiscal responsibility.”
401Ks, saving, investing and more.
THIS IS GREAT.
👏👏👏
Fernando Mendoza signed a rookie contract in July worth $57.27 million. Fully guaranteed. He is 22 years old.
This week he announced what he is doing with his rookie season.
He is starting a series called Finance with Fernando to teach people his age how to handle money.
His words in the trailer.
"My true passion is fiscal responsibility."
He is not bluffing. He graduated from the Haas School of Business at Berkeley, and he is finishing a master's in business administration in December.
Here is how he got to the point where a 22 year old can say that.
All four of his grandparents left Cuba for Miami in 1960.
He grew up in Miami and played at Christopher Columbus High School. In two seasons as the starting quarterback he threw for 1,396 yards and 16 touchdowns. Total. Nobody was building a recruiting class around that.
He committed to Yale.
Then another recruit's decision opened a door at California, and he went to Berkeley instead. He redshirted in 2022. He started eight games in 2023 and eleven in 2024.
Then he hit the portal and went to Indiana, a program that had gone 9-27 in the three years before Curt Cignetti showed up.
What happened next does not really happen.
Indiana went 16-0. Mendoza threw 41 touchdown passes, a school record. They won at Oregon. They beat No. 1 Ohio State for the Big Ten title.
Rose Bowl against Alabama, he went 14 of 16 for 192 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-3 win. Peach Bowl against Oregon, five touchdowns.
Then the national championship game, against Miami. The school in his own hometown.
Indiana won 27-21. He was the offensive MVP.
First Heisman Trophy in Indiana history. First national championship in Indiana history.
Then the Raiders took him first overall. He wears number 15 for Tom Flores, who gave him his blessing to use it.
And right now he is sitting behind Kirk Cousins.
So instead of waiting around, he is finishing the MBA and starting a personal finance series for people who have never had money and are about to.
One more thing worth knowing about him. His mother Elsa lives with multiple sclerosis. He and his brother worked with restaurants to put items on the menu that raise money for MS research.

The number one pick in the draft started a show about not losing your money.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆
New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
Paul McCartney joining The Eagles just a few days ago at 83 years old..his voice might be as strong but love how he can still get out to perform..
Slap that ask if you’re a fan as well..🎉🎉🎉
We need to get the word out on this to everyone you know esp females. 👀🔥
Of course I've already shared this with my daughters and you should too.
This is from Texas, but it's happening nation wide and folks need to be aware of the warning signs. These are just a couple of the methods in play right now.
Time to raise awareness. 👇
EL PUNK NO HA MUERTO, SOLO ESTABA ESPERANDO EL MOMENTO EXACTO 🎸🔥
Green Day acaba de soltar "American Idiot" en pleno #SuperBowl y el mensaje no pudo ser más directo.
No es solo una canción de hace 20 años; es un recordatorio en horario estelar de que la televisión te puede vender miedo, pero tú decides si lo compras. Cantar "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda" frente a millones y con la sombra de Trump presente es, probablemente, el momento más "punk rock" que hemos visto en un evento deportivo en la historia.
