Pete those 40 people got laid off because you suck at your business….but go ahead and blame the government for your failings.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
norc… you’re a clown…
fiscal policy impacts the economy in a big way…
as for my business… the fact that i am actually still in business is just short of a miracle…
i don’t sell schit… our business performs engineering tasks for telephone companies…
phone companies tend to be very mindful of the economic climate and cut their budgets as they see fit…
that, combined with contract negotiations with their unions… created a huge problem…
had the unions gone on strike… that would have been good for me…
had the unions settled quickly… that would have been good for me…
but for the past 7 months everything has been in limbo… and that has been bad for me…
another part of my engineering business depends on new housing starts… as we do fiber to the home designs… not a lot of new construction out there now is there???
but… since you’re the only smart m’fker here… i’ll let you tell me how i could have done it right…
by the way… i am assured by several of the managers at the phone company that as soon as their budgets for 2010 are released they would like to negotiate some new work…
they didn’t say bid it out.. they said negotiate…
one last thing…
two weeks ago i bid 7 cents a foot on a 75 mile fiber job in Oklahoma… i never bid less than 24 cents/ft in my life…
i lost the bid… unbelieveable…
but… clearly i don’t know what the fck i’m doing… right you stupid m’fer…
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:20 pm

September 3rd, 2009 at 7:24 pm

September 3rd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Defense is horrible
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
GEEEZ!!
Any chance Cable is holding back with the offense this pre-season so San Diego cannot game plan for us?????

Garcia is so much better then russell,…but 65 million talks,..and the team will suffer for it.

September 3rd, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Don’t get too excited there guys.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Yeah Bob, that 50 yard RUN after a 40 yard kick return was ALL Garcia.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Louis Rankin dominates the preseason.

==================
Told you already…I LOVE the Raiders.
No team makes me smile quite like the Raiders.
Offseason hilarity? No one comes close..owner antics? Keeps me in stitches.
It’s like a 3 Stooges skit..what’s not to like?
Oh..BTW…GREAT OUTING THERE, RUSSELL, LOL…definitely quieted the naysayers
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
24, I will say the truth, russell sucks and garcia should start,..if you have a prob with that well then we have a different opinion.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Go Oregon!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
facts are facts 75.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I am so pissed off at this team!!
One phrase sums it up.
NO HEART!!!!
Guys just picking up paychecks.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Is this site working or what?
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Anyone notice how similar the new Broncos coach is to Lane Kiffin?
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Garcia’s pass HA HA HA
What a loser he is just here picking up a check too!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Don’t worry Bob. With the O-line in place now, Garcia will get his shot as the starter some time this season. If he is legit he will keep it.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
As a matter of fact, with this o-line. Every QB on the roster will get a chance to start this season.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Norco Bob,
Jeff Garcia is a journeyman QB. There is no future with the guy. That’s why he is in Oakland. See, he is the only “old” QB not with a contender. Why? because the guy isn’t a big time QB. Tampa benched him and let him go, PHilly said see-ya, Detroit, Cleveland, San Fran…all told JEff to take a hike.
Its your type of thinking that has permeated Almeda the last 20 yrs. Retread after retread after retread…with the same ole sorry result.
And spare me the Rich Gannon references. He gave us a couple of years and then the eternal darkness that we are just now trying to come out of.
Championship teams have solid QB signal callers that are home grown and developed. They get 10 to 12 yrs of great play and build the pieces around him.
Teams that shuttle retreads every two years become nothing franchises.
If you aren’t a championship caliber team….you better be developing a long-term answer at QB. Garcia ain’t it!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Garcia look like a midget chicken with his head chopped off running around on his tippy toes!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
We may even see McFadden as an emergency QB before its over.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Garcia is our savior eh? Lulz
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
The raiders should stop these ticket promos,..not a good time.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
So you stick with Russell and keep developing him. And 1 season (16 starts) ain’t enough to make the dire comments you seem to enjoy here.
Even if Russell wasn’t the guy…the Raiders would be better off playing Frye or Gradkowski because they at least have the potential to play in the league another 10 yrs.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Well garcia didnt look that great no…better then russell though.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
i’m liking this Boyd guy…
hey, boob,,, garcia kinda sucked that last series, yes???
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Arizona and Tennessee will be 5-11 teams in about a year or two.
Watch!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I started a FFL last week and the live draft is monday at 1:45 pacific time
Its at NFL.com.
Private league name is Scarys Raiders
Password is bestyearever
Need ten players
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I hope we keep nick miller,..hes damn good for a honky.

you said that great i couldnt have worded that any better norco bob is a fucking retarded ass bitch
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
damn,…garcia sucks too…i give up.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Its going to be a long year for Raider QBs.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
New England = Long term QB
Indianapolis = Long term QB
Philadelphia = Long term QB
Pittsburgh = Long term QB
New York Giants = Long term QB
San Diego = Long term QB
Carolina = Long term QB
As a result, those teams have made multiple deep runs into the playoffs and Super Bowls…
Chicago, Oakland….1 and done…couldn’t keep a QB around more than a couple of years.
Build to win for the long-term
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
way to go garcia!!!!…nice 3rd down clutch pass!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
dang…alot of people hatin on lil ol me tonight.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Keep Rankin
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
rankin like tyrone wheatley!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Trade Fargas, keep Rankin.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:52 pm
i don’t think people in my age group should play football…
garcia needs to go home and join the AARP…
that’s right GREY PANTHERS… BAYBEE!!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:53 pm
The only reason Fargas is still on the team is because Al Davis was a huge fan of Starsky & Hutch.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Its not about hating on Garcia. The fact is teams RARELY get rid of good QBs with a lot of productive years ahead of them.
The only one I’ve seen is the Cutler saga.
So if you want more than an occasional glimpse with Gannon or a Jeff Hostetler…you develop your own QB in your own system!
Developing a QB is not easy. It takes time. Russell is finally getting NFL coaching, doesn’t turn the ball over and doesn’t seem to be emotinoally unstable. Ride with him and see what he can do with some half-way decent talent.
He had no help last yr. That roster was embarrassing.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:54 pm
This season should be all about the current Raider players playing their a@@es off and every former Raider or Raider supporter rallying around Al Davis and making it well known what he has done before this team sinks and he loses all his money which he has thrown very liberally at many people who should start doing the same for him.
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:56 pm
what did Boob ever do to you to make you want to be that nice to him…
——————————————————
haha hes just fucking stupid talking all this shit about russell and wanting garcias old weak ass to start theres a reason hes second string on the raiders and cant start anywhere else hes not the savior hes just insurance if russell gets hurt the true saviors are russell mcfadden bush and hayward bey they will return the offense back to greatness and if the offense is good that means the defense will be good because they will get much needed rest
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:56 pm
the nation will return to greatness and i cant wait
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Us against Them Baby….let’s do it!!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:58 pm
This game means nothing…but it means a whole lot better nothing if we win instead of losing
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Yep, definitely the “dumbest team in America”.

lol..read the above, out loud..with a straight face.
Can’t do it, can you?
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Norco Bob…nice job on taking the easiest path through life….do drugs…insult people who have worked their way up through very challenging avenues of competition…and then make predictions that they won’t succeed because that is the safest bet and only a co-dependent person who thinks that is intelligent to diss them and make it something to brag about.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Richochet…what have you ever done that makes you an authority to ever say anything about anybody else…ever walked out of your mom’s house and challenged anybody and had something to lose on your side…I think not or you wouldn’t be so mouthy to everybody or about everything.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Richochet…your mouth writes Cheques that you and your body can’t cash…you are such a complete example of what the internet can be bad about….someone who doesn’t have to walk to walk that their mouth is willing to talk….get lost…you have no place here, this is for Raider fans, not small-penised internet thugs that have nothing else going for them.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Richochet…your type is well known….Forbes has ranked the Raiders as the least valuable team in the NFL, our record for the last 6 years makes us unable to talk proudly about our team.
No surprise a P@ssy like you is here taking pot-shots. But that’s the difference between US and you, we are US and we believe, and we stick together. You are nobody and nothing…and never will be.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Ricochet (notice spelling)…is basically an accident, has no plan, only luck makes it successful.
That is you “Richochet” you have no plan, no alternative, just spewing easy insults.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Richochet…why aren’t you taking on the Cowboys? They are #1…are you afraid? Where does your team rank? Bet you are afraid to state your team, then you can’t hide at the end of the season.
Come on…man up!
