While the country was still wrapping their heads around the Patriots epic fail at KC last night, the Oakland Raiders performed the classic news dump. Head Coach Dennis Allen was let go last night, to the surprise of no one. Earlier today, Assistan Head Coach/Offensive Line Coach Tony Sparano was bumped up to the Head Coach slot on an interim basis.

The dumpster fire which is the Oakland Raiders just got a little smellier. Allen, sporting an 8-28 record as Raiders' HC, was let go via phone call. Perhaps there wasn't enough time to address this as the team crossed the Atlantic following Sunday's embarrasment versus the Miami Dolphins in London. The 38-14 loss dropped Oakland to 0-4 on the year, and with no sign of improvement on the horizon, Allen was given the boot.

Sparano formerly was HC for he Miami Dolphins for most of four seasons and sported a 29-32 record. Miami actually took down the AFC East in his first year, losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round. Sparano has the unenviable task of straightening out a poorly constructed roster and providing some direction to a team that is quickly spiralling into oblivion.

One small bright spot has been QB David Carr. Carr has shown some flashes in tough circumstances, and was unfortunately injured in Sunday's loss with a high ankle sprain and sprained MCL. He'll have an extra week to heal up as Oakland is on the bye. Sparano has over a week to prepare to welcome Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers to town for a Week 6 tilt.

Thankfully, you will not have to choose any Oakland Raiders this week as you're preparing your roster to take down ONE MILLION DOLLARS! www.FFChamps.com/million
