Outgoing California Assemblymember Sandre Swanson was appointed Deputy Mayor of Oakland today by Oakland Mayor Jean Quan. The email announcing this popped up just five minutes ago.

Given how the Oakland Raiders are performing, it’s time to look back to the 2012 NFL Draft Red Carpet and the remarks of the Raiders Legendary Cornerback (that’s my title for him) Willie Brown on the “new” Raiders.
