Answering Your Las Vegas Raiders Questions, Emails

HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders have one of the most passionate fan bases in the world of professional sports, and today we answer some of the questions and emails from Raider Nation.

Hondo, you remind me of the cable news guys constantly spinning for whatever party they represent. Josh Jacobs won’t play in 2023. --Kyle P.

Well, you can’t or don’t listen. My job is to report. I said that I am being told by people close to the situation, both sides, that they expect him to play. That is all I can report. Additionally, these parties have had me for months saying he would be franchised, and it was highly doubtful that a long-term deal would be done. I report, while you, Kyle, get the privilege of bloviating.

You can watch another of your questions answered in the video below on the relationship between Josh Jacobs and team leadership:

Hondo, I despise how you are always on the players' side. Josh Jacobs has a deal for over 10 million dollars to play for 17 weeks. Yet, you are always against the team and on the player’s side. --Melissa B.

Thank you, Melissa, for giving your opinion. I report and am sorry you think I am taking any side. Judging by the first two emails this week, I think I am doing OK.

Hondo, with what the Raiders did to Derek Carr and now Josh Jacobs, I am no longer a fan and hate this franchise. I will be back once Mark Davis sells the team. --M.R.

OK.

Hondo, I know you reported that the Raiders respect and like Josh, and that Josh likes and respects them. But do you really believe it? --Carey T.

I do, and I am not guessing. As I stated, both parties wanted to finish something, but it wouldn’t happen.

Hondo, is there anything good that the Raiders can get out of Josh Jacobs sitting out training camp yet reporting for the season? --S. Brown

Of course, the young RBs will get a ton of reps during training camp, and they need them. This is good news.

Hondo, what rookie will have the most significant impact on the Raiders in 2023? Please give me your opinion. --Will N.

Michael Mayer.

Now from our weekly Hate Hondo email:

Hondo, your continuous protection of Mark Davis makes you of no respect. You are utterly worthless as a reporter when all you are is a figurehead for the owners. I f***ing hate you. --Leo M.

Hondo, I have no idea why Mark Davis lets you cover this team. Your blind hatred of this team while covering Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels is offensive, ignorant, and wrong. You are a despicable human being. --Amy R.

Hondo, we get it. You kiss the a** of the players while attacking our owner, coach, and GM. Raider Nation doesn’t want a new owner, we want you to die, and McDummy and Ziegler gone. You three have personally destroyed the Raiders. --C.R. Jenney
