another tough week for jon gruden's club...d black blew a 12-point lead late in the 2nd half.... and denver rallied for a 20-19 victory capped off by a brandon mcmanus field goal in the final seconds. this despite derek carr going 29-for-32...and throwing for just shy of 300-yards. this afternoon, gruden asked if he thinks his team has what it takes to be a contender in this league. <>"like i said, we're going to keep building our football team. whether that translates into one win or four wins or any wins, i'm not going to make any predictions. i want to continue to play good, hard-nose football. keep improving. keep improving and good things will happen. i'm not going to sit here and make any predictions about anything other than we're going to play hard and provide the best effort we can." up next for up next for up next for up next for up next for the raiders, a 2nd straight road game. the silver and black going to south beach to meet the dolphins. coming up in sports at 6-45, gruden also discussed the team's lack of a pass

here's what raiders head coach jon gruden had to say about mack's departure.ugh. it wasn't my goal to trade khalil when we got here. one of the reasons i'm here is because of him. unfortunately, we had a stand off with a contract and we could not come to terms. the bears made us an offer of two first round draft choices and here we are today. we have to put together a 53 man roster. it's hard. salary cap issues do exist. there was an economic part of this thing too that you have to sit down and study and you have to get a lot of information from a lot of people to see how it impacts you, a contract of that magnitude. (kim)it was an all important series as the a's still have ground on the mariners in the wild card race... but seattle had a good opportunity this weekned.... but these are the kinds of games you want to see when you are bob melvin.... in the top of the first, the mariners strike first. slugger nelson cruz lines a single up the middle and kicks off the bag...mitch hanniger easily scores from second and the mariners take a 1-0 lead.... bottom five,

but all would be forgiven if jon gruden puts together some wins. uden era opening at the coliseum against the rams. the silver and black marched down their field with a marshawn lynch touchdown on their opening drive. then the rams came right back. full right back. full highlights later tonight. meanwhile, fans seeing how hard it was to lose khalil mack last night. number 52...former raider, new chicago bear...singlehandedly took over the first half. mack responsible for a strip- sack, fumble recovery, and an interception that he took back to the house. at one point, chicago led 20- nothing, but then, we saw a vintage aaron rodgers performance. was carted off the field, came back and fired three touchdown passes to lead the packers to a 24-23 win. --nonetheless, mack...on his ability to make an impact after missing an entire training camp. "i mean i love the game man. it's easy and that's what it really comes dwn to for me." now many have questioned as to why the raiders would let mack leave, but gruden addressed that directly in an exc

his last year with the raiders was jon gruden's last year, in 2001. all eyes will be on the interesting story line, and there are a lot in this game, is gruden coaching against shawn mcveigh. gruden gave him his first job in the nfl back in tampa bay. so teacher versus pupil tonight. the problem for the raiders tonight is pupil has a better roster, at least on paper. so it's the season opener here on primetime. the last time the raiders opened in primetime was six years ago. they lost to the chargers night. raider fans are hoping, mindy, that gruden is going to be the save year. -- savior. >> oh, yeah. fre gruden has coached 11 season openers, but his last with the raiders was 17 years ago. derek carr said the way gruden taught the team during the off-season and installed the new offenses and defenses has them, his words, 1,000% ready for tonight, but the nerves are still there. >> this is really special for me. i know there's been a lot of news with what has happened. i want to do everything i can to bring the raiders back. i really liked the effort t

. >>> meanwhile, a return to the limelight down on the field for jon gruden after all those years in sat down with him prior to the game that they'll have monday night and asked him why leave that comfy booth for the rigors of being a head coach again in the nfl? >> big reason i'm here is i love the raiders. got a lot of respect for them. i love the fans. i had a son here. jason was born in oakland. he's a little bit like al davis. he's my raider. for him to have an opportunity with his brothers to share this with me is going to be really cool. i'm going to do everything i can to get wins. >> he'll have his first shot at that come monday night against the rams. if you want to see that entire jon gruden interview, we'll set you all up for what's going on with first football sunday. >>> meantime, football is back and so is tiger it would seem. it's been five years since he won a golf tournament last. this was his best round in round 1 of the bmw championship. par 4 7, second shot. lay it up right there for a birdie which would ensue. par 5 9th which was his final hole of the day. he ca

jon gruden's raiders failed to make a good first impression in the season opener against the los angeleshe got some help from his o-line for the 10-yard touchdown. but the rams ... led by cal alum jared goff ... come back to tie game 7-7. in the 2nd quarter ... derek carr's pass to jared cook is picked off in the end zone.and its all downhill from there for the silver and black.the rams scored another t-d ... and derek carr chucked two more interceptions in the 2nd half. one of them was a pick-six. raiders fall flat in their opener ... 33-13 rams is the final score. oakland play the denver broncos next sunday. ( darya ) while it was while it was a disappointing start to the season for the oakland raiders... in what could be their last year in the coliseum.( james ) it didn't stop the die hard fans from coming out to celebrate the new season. kron4's j-r stone was at the coliseum speaking to raider nation. chuckie is backraiders fans dressed up as chuckie....the killer doll...also the nickname for new raiders head coach jon gruden. some unphased by the team's eventual move to las vegas an

the coach for the raiders now, jon gruden, has been gone for 17 seasons. has football passed him by or no? >> remember, he has been gone from here for 17 seasons. he has only been out of coaching about 10. he spent that time as an analyst on espn. he has been constantly watching film and tape. you know the cornerback camp, which had jared goff and derek carr participating in. so, it's not like he was on pluto, far removed from football. he did not get any dumber. i think he is the same coach that he was. i think he is up to speed on how the game has evolved during that stretch. one example from the college game, herman edwards, who similarly left coaching, was an espn analyst for a lot of years and now comes back to be the head coach at arizona state, people asking the same thing. arizona state has been two good teams and opened a lot of fights in the college season. going to espn and being a media member does not make you forget how to coach. >> and you have to expect a lot out of the rams, too. son mcveigh, the youngest coach in the nfl, and also the who

the center of attention will be on head coach jon gruden. he has spent the last nine years in the broadcasting booth on monday nights. now he will be on the sidelines. he signed a 10-year, $100 million deal to re-join the raiders as head coach. he said he can't wait for kickoff. >> i'm just as excited to get the butterflies. it's the same way every year. especially opening day. it's special. this is really special for me. i know there's been a lot of news this week with what has happened. i want to do everything i can to help bring the raiders back. and i really like the effort our team has put forth. >> all the work we have done in, the time, the reps. you sit there and think, well, we've put the work in. so let's go. it's time to play. >> reporter: the team is fired up. gruden will be looking to win his third straight home opener as head coach of the raiders. the other two came during his first run with the team. the raiders are facing the rams in a season opener for the first time since 1979. so big night here in the east way. amy hollyfi

jon gruden was asked what it will take to beat this up start rams team favored by many to win the nfchave a tough quarterback jared goff, high evidence paid defensive player and here's jon gruden, always tongue in cheek. >> you know, i used to work on those talk shows, you know? we need to have 36 minutes of possession. so the best way to win this game is to do something when you have the ball. we're going to have to score. obviously, when we get our chances to run it, we're going to have to deal with some loaded boxes and some talented ram defenders and i can't wait to see how we do it. >> monday night, instead of in the booth, he will be down on the field visiting the guys in the black hole, as well. meantime, this is one of those stories, a bummer. such a great thing was happening in baseball with shohei otani. first player since babe ruth to both pitch and be in the regular hitting line-up on a regular basis. he is out for at least a year as far as pitching goes as it has been recommended he undergo the dreaded tommy john surgery. elbow damage extensive. he will be on the disabled

the raiders are going to face one of the best defensive fronts in the entire nfl, but coach jon grudenoping to keep aaron donald and ndamukong suh on the field as long as possible. abc 7's mindi bach has more. >> the raiders best defense may be its own offense. derek carr and company need to keep jared goff and todd gurley off the field. the rams' last season were the most prolific, scoring nearly 30 points a game. >> the easy thing is let's go out and have a pep talk and have 36 minutes of possession. i used to work on those talk shows. so the best way to win this game is to do something when you have the ball. we're going to have to score. obviously, when we get our chances to run it, we're going to have to deal with some loaded boxed a some talented ram defenders. i can't wait to see how we dot. >> crazy. so the year before last that. >> put up the least amount of points. and last year they put up the most. it's been a huge shift for them. and you never know. we might have to go out there. it might have to go out there and score eery possession. so you never know. >> that would be q

and made almost semi funny by the fact that after yesterday's loss in denver, raider coach jon grudenish we can find somebody to put some pressure on the quarterback. hello? you had that guy. didn't work out yesterday as derek carr performance, much improved. it seemed like the raiders controlled this game but the broncos storming down. clock ticking down. case keenum, 26 yards. with no timeouts again, 18 seconds left when that happened, brandon mcmanus with the field goal. there's gruden's look right there. and somebody actually had the nerve to ask jon gruden today if he regretted trading khalil mack. >> we made the trade. we made the trade. there's got to be hindsight 50/50 all that stuff. we'd love to have him here. i'm not going to rehash this. i'd love to have coached him. love to have him here. but he's not here and somebody's got to step up. hopefully we prove that in the long term we did the right thing. >> that 50/50 hindsight will get you every time. like i said, it's kind of sad to report for raider fans. meantime, new england patriots, they're really good. but they're not

jon gruden, error number 2. >>> remember jon gruden's last run as a raider coach. his last game was the tom brady talk rule game. 60 -- 16 years later, he is still salty, but for different reason. he is still a fan favorite in oakland, even after the khalil they could not stop. marshawn lynch carries everyone with a white jersey into the end zone. there was an early 7-0 lead. he shovels it to the running back who does the rest. they called in 19 yard touchdown pass. gametime at 7:00. second quarter, looking for more. john johnson picked it off in the end zone, tied it 13-13. final play, 3rd quarter, who beats him into the end zone. the ramp stick a 20-13 lead. he threw two awful interceptions. one marcus peters, who ran it back for the touchdown. it put the dagger in the rams. three interceptions for car. let's hit theker room. >> i thought he did some good things today. there were some critical errors that we need to eliminate. he knows that, we know that, we all know that. we expect better for ourselves. that goes on me. >> losses with coach gruden felt different

then, a score by the rams. 23-zip in the second half and jon gruden debuted on his return. >> a goodffensive team. they got the opening drive and went on the field and they were impressive with balance and they could run and throw. they proved their stuff, i think, in the second half. offensively, we just couldn't get anything going. we turned the ball over and failed to pick up a blitz one time. very disappointing. >> jon gruden added that the raiders have work to do but he's proud of the way they completed the game. the unday against the broncos in denver. tickets go on sale tomorrow and thursday for the nba champs, the final season for the golden state warriors at oracle arena before they move into the new center in san francisco. season ticket holders will have first crack at those tickets starting at 10:00 tomorrow morning. those on the season ticket waitlist will have a chance one hour later. members of the inside his club can buy tickets thursday 10:00 a.m. followed by the general public and the opening day will be october 16 against the oklahoma city thunder. >>> up next, a c

<jon gruden>"it stinks. it's not very fun, but we have work to do. it's obvious.re gonna build this football team back. it might not happen tonight, but we are gonna keep laying bricks. we got a great group of guys and we'll get ready for the next battle."'i tried to pull it back with my hand, and obviously that's why i look so terrible. i just floated it in there and it landed in the guy's lap. it's just one of those that, you just sit there and... one of the dumbest plays you could even have, but it is what it is. i knew what i should have done as soon as that play was over." the 49ers doing some great things in the comminity today... players served dinner to over 200 people in need at martha's kitchen in san jose the niners plated food... refilled beverages... and bussed tables for their guests martha's kitchen has been feeding the hungry in san jose since 1981. they produce 400,000 meals annually with the help of passionate volunteers after events... levi's stadium donates excess food to martha's kitchen the the players... giving back was a great w

the raiders lost a game they should have won and despite their 0-2 start jon gruden is saying all the right things. >> we're a work in progress. we got a long way to go and we're going to get there and i'm going to remain confident indeed. >> brandon mcmanus drilled a 36- yarder with six seconds left to give the broncos their first lead of the game. today in alameda gruden wasn't interested in reviewing the film. >> that final drive, the final two minute offense? >> you trying to make me mad today or what? >> he should be mad. i'm mad. he's our head coach. he should hold us accountable and to a high standard as he does and he should be mad. >> raiders in miami next sunday. >>> kyle shanahan said the 49ers were interested in acquiring wide receiver josh gordon but came up short in their bid to get him pried away from cleveland. instead the browns traded gordon to the patriots for a fifth round pick. gordon was the nfl leading receiver in 2013, but has since dealt with multiple suspensions for failed drug tests. >>> jimmy garoppolo nearly threw away a win in the home opener picked off l

i think when the raiders signed jon gruden to $100 million, everybody knew he w do things his way. the players on the raiders roster tonight, 31 were not on the team last year including khalil mack who was on another football team and, in fact, mack is doing okay. he showed no signs of rust in his bears debut last night despite missing all of training camp. mack had a pick six the end of the 1st half, but chicago blew a 20 point lead to aaron rodgers and the packers and there's no looking back for jon gruden. he told espn that mack no longer wanted to be a raider and linebacker darren johnson told me the defense still has plenty of talent. >> everybody is on the same page to win right now and i still believe that. i still believe that. now at the same time business goes on, different deals goes on and the deal is in the nfl you are supposed to never be surprised. at the same time sometimes it happens. you still are surprised, but you know what? khalil mack will be a great addition to the chicago bears and trust me, we have enough guys on the team right now to get the job done. that

jon gruden is looking for his first win. can see the game on ktvu news this sunday with a 1:05 -- kickoff. >>> the niners will be playing the chargers. cj will set in for jimmy garoppolo. they tried out 7 quarterbacks this week but did not sign think of them. >>> this is the game lineup. during the game, we'll bring you all the news, weather and ktvu plus. >>> news, weather and traffic. that is what we have today. frank was mentioning it was tough to get around the city yesterday. it was crazy. >>> people had already figured out that you had to go to the temporary transit center. and people like me get on the tv and say, it is not going to be good. people adjust. let's take a look at some of these commutes. we'll talk about this later. but people are hearing about the bad commutes don't want to voluntarily put themselves in the middle of that the gilroy commute looks pretty good driving up to san jose. the traffic in san jose looks very good. and if you're driving into san francisco today, it will be another tough day. but i

coach jon gruden addressed it with the team today.e had the day off that day and that made it harder. i'm thinking at it all day, and now, i have a job to do. you lose a good football player. but me is one of pli best fwrends. and the hardest part is, i won't get to see my friend. >> u.s. open round of 16, number two seed roger federer against john millman. lost the first set and then won and it took the third in a tiebreak. fourth set, match point, fetterer's return is going to go long. that ended the three hour and ad minute match. millman advances. the first time federer has ever lost to a player ranked outside of the top 50. the abc 7 sports report. there are are many wondering if something is wrong with roger federer. he certainly did not end that match like he started. he did not look like himself. we will ♪ ♪ ♪ raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens ♪ ♪ bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens ♪ ♪ brown paper packages tied up with strings ♪ ♪ these are a few of my favorite things ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ these are a few of my favorite

but beneath all the hype buried under there with regard to jon gruden's return and all that, this wasns, with its roster, trading its best player right before the season started. and the turmoil begins. you'd have to call it a bittersweet moment for jon gruden returning, but knowing it will be short term because they're leaving oakland and all those great fans in oakland will be left high and drive. first drive of the game, marshawn lynch, classic beast mode from 10 yards out. 7-0. you've got to take another look at this. he literally carries a ton of guys into the end zone with him and it's just classic what marshawn lynch does. it's like a rugby scrum. he gets guys pushing from behind. it's great start. the raiders lead it 7-0. goff comes back. settles down quick. flips. todd gurley, one of the best in the business makes it from 19 yards out. 7-7. fast forward. 10-10. right before the half, go to a great target. the tight end had himself a game. he bowls over aqib talib. it led to a field goal and hard to believe when you look at the final score of this game that the raiders actuall

this morning, jon gruden...once again asked about the team's lack of a pass rush.at one. it's hard to find a good one. it's hard to find one. you just said it. college football now, they're not really dropping back to pass and throwing footballs anymore. they're throwing laterals and they're throwing bubble screens. they're running read options. so you have to train these guys. it takes a little bit of time to learn how to rush the passer. we have some guys that are in that process right now." moving over to the sharkies, we have our first look at the team's newest star rocking the teal jersey. crowd on hand at the sharks practice facility today for erik karlsson's first skate in san jose. the front office acquired the four-time all star defenseman in a trade with the senators last week... the hope is the two-time norris trophy winner is that final piece the roster needs to finally bring the franchise its first stanley cup... after all, they were only in the final just a couple of years ago. good to know, karlsson doesn't have any early rifts with any of his teamma
