Inactives

FOXBORO -- Tully Banta-Cain, Duane Starks, James Sanders, Andre Davis, Brandon Gorin, Bethel Johnson and Marquise Hill were inactive for the Pats. Matt Cassel is going to be the third QB.

For the Raiders, wide receivers Carlos Francis, Johnnie Morant and Doug Gabriel are down. So is renning back Justin Fargas (Huggy Bear's boy).

An Hour Away

FOXBORO - Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ran out onto the field 5 minutes ago, sprinted the length of the sideline (as is his pregame routine) and then stopped at the end, faced the fans and pumped his fist at them twice.

The fans went crazy.

About half the squad is now on the field with Kevin Faulk and Tim Dwight back deep catching punts from Josh Miller and Brady, Doug Flutie and Matt Cassel throwing short out to wide receivers David Givens, Deion Branch and Troy Brown.

This is a very early arriving crowd tonight, thanks to the concert.

Raiders owner Al Davis, using a walker, made his way through the press box to the visiting owner's box a few minutes ago. Davis is now 76.

Countdown to hoopla

FOXBORO -- Smoking grills, a portly 50-something Raiders fan in a Robert Gallery jersey, stacked parking lots and a field covered with SEVEN different risers to accomodate the assorted pregame acts and media are all part of the scene at 7 p.m., an hour before kickoff.

Mike Vrabel and an unidentified Raider (they're both in shorts and gray t-shirts) chatted for a few minutes from 6:45 to 7. Now the field is generally empty except for a few scattered Raiders and Patriots Matt Chatham and Tom Ashworth.

At this point, players are getting dressed, stretching and getting taped. It would be getting quiet as players begin to prepare.

Coaches are making game-time decisions on injured players and fine-tuning the inactive lists before game time on this, the night when both teams will likely be at their most healthy all year.

As for the entertainment, the rumor is that Ozzy Osbourne will sing Crazy Train from atop a giant stage shaped like a helmet positioned outside New England's locker room.

Should be...interesting.
