| Jacksonville, FL (Best E Casino) - Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Warren Sapp was ejected for arguing with an official in Sunday's contest with the Jacksonville Jaguars. With 21 seconds remaining in the first half and the Jags facing a 3rd-and-20 situation on the Raiders' 35-yard line, Sapp and teammate Derrick Burgess were given unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Then with the officials huddling to discuss the infractions, Sapp was given a second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and ejected from the contest. |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Whether Oakland rookie quarterback JaMarcus Russell makes his first NFL start Sunday or not, he isn't too concerned about his role against the Jacksonville Jaguars. ``Not at all because I continue to prepare as if I'm going to play, no matter if I start or not,'' Russell said Thursday. ``Whatever (Lane Kiffin's) decision is, he's the coach, he's the boss. I'll roll with that.'' Earlier this week Kiffin said that Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, would definitely play |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -If the Jacksonville Jaguars advance to the postseason, they could carry a grudge with them. The Jaguars (10-4), one win shy of clinching a playoff spot for the second time in three seasons, were shut out of the Pro Bowl when rosters were announced Tuesday. No Fred Taylor - again. No David Garrard. Not even Rashean Mathis or John Henderson, both of whom made the Pro Bowl last season.
