July 5th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
We will be in the top 5 In rushing, and in the top 15 in passing!!!

The defense will improve, due to the fact that it can’t get worse!

==================================================
You&#039;re dreaming.
Raiders were dead LAST in passing last year.
Russell continues to have trouble hitting water from a boat. You still have squat at WR. Adding Bey, who&#039;s knock is he can&#039;t hold onto the ball, and now he can&#039;t even run routes.
Not to mention your O line is questionable.
17th in rushing
31 in passing.

Just call em like I see em</description>

Memo to Richochet; you seem t think the owners of any sport have indivdual fans in mind when they make decisions. But if any owner ever took into account the fans he is Al Davis as well as some others that I can think of. There was no other reason to come back to Oakland other than what he experienced here with the crowd, which he stated on his return. Oakland had the least amount pof money or potential in terms revenue streams. He had LA all to himself. Not to mention that Baltimore was very interested as well as other communities. In truth Oakland was the least attractive. So why did he come back? Since money was definitely not 1st on the list it must of have had at least a little to do with the crowd.

But everyone knows Al Davis NEVER speaks the truth. Why do you think they came back?
=================================================
Al came back for ONE REASON..and one reason only.
LA Coliseum was a total bust. Horrible place. A cavern. Fans in the front row were still 30 yards from the sidelines. Sellouts were almost non-existent, even during the playoffs. Al came back because he was desperate, and looked the fool in LA. Irwandale wasn&#039;t going to happen. Baltimore wssn&#039;t interested in Al or the Raiders.
As far as screwing the fans?
No one comes close to Al.
Ex: After &#039;02, when Alameda wanted to throw a parade for the Raiders? Al refused.
They then wanted to have a fan appreciation day. Al informed all of the players there were NOT allowed to attend. Hot Dog Jerry Rice went ballistic, as he loves the spotlight, yet Al refused.
Hell, look at how many of YOU RAIDER FANS that state &quot;Al owns the team. He can screw over everyone if he wants&quot;.

Because he does.
Owns the team.
And screws over the fans.

Ok..riddle me this..when Al decides to stupidly fire and hire coaches, before any program gets up to par, who suffers, besides the won/loss?
The fans.
Benching a Marcus Allen, while hurting the team, all because he didn&#039;t kiss Al&#039;s butt? Hurt the team AND the fans.
Holding back league tickets that were slated for the fans during the &#039;02 SUPER BOWL? Royally screwed over the fans.

Al cares about Al, not you. Or any other Raider fan...Al.</description>

		<description>These fish did not get away.  LOL

Roy Letson tells the Detroit Free Press their heavy catch of walleye may have caused the boat to go under. Letson says the men had their limit, 20 walleye in their coolers.

After their 19&#039; boat capsized, the men clung to the hull for nearly a day before being rescued.

News 11 was there Friday night when the fishermen were brought into Bolles Harbor, just north of Luna Pier.
Letson tells the Free Press &quot;Maybe we had too much weight on the front of the boat, we had our fish up there. We were all done, coming in. It was real fun, we were having a good time.&quot;

The first wave hit, drenching the front of the boat. Then the second. And the third. The boat capsized -- and took their radios and safety equipment underwater. He pulled himself onto the hull, what became the men&#039;s floating island through Thursday night&#039;s darkness.</description>
