Bump. It wont be long until the league intervenes…Madden is an assistant to Godell and is likely to assist in whatever they deem fit – its sensitive, since Al is a founding member of the AFL and its obviously “sunset” in a great career of ownership. The league needs the rivalries back for attendance figures and team revenue…its not hating, its just good business sense to have his team “playoff capable” Raiders-Broncos, Raiders-Steelers, Raiders-Chiefs, Raiders-Dolphins we need all of those great matchups back…but when do they put this thing together?

“JaMarcus Russell will never get it. He is lazy. He does not play smart. He is the absolute (worst). … They have some damn good players if they ever put it together.”

This is my take on the Raider Hating that is so rampant lately. Look at it this way. All the “current” media, all of them, news, internet, tv, etc.. even broadcasters are at the age now where they once either played against the Raiders or rooted against the Raiders. The Raider teams they played or rooot against at that time were some of the best teams to ever dawn the Silver and Black. Tom Jackson, ESPN, as an example. Jim Nance (former player), Dan Marino, Boomer, Shannon, the list goes on and on. All former players who were smacked around by the Raider or watched their favorite teams lose to the Raiders. With all this being said, F THEM. F THEM ALL. They are just haters. We will return, and for the FIRST time in my life, I admit, it will only happen when Al Davis isn’t physically attached to this team anymore. He must go. word.

So many blunders? RRS told me Mike Huff was banged up. Jerry told us he’s practicing.

Nobody keeps correcting me. People disagree with me. I correct more far than I’ve been corrected, Ricky.

I’m juvenile? OK, Mr. Family Man who doesn’t tell his kids he’s an internet nerd and calls people peanuts.

I don’t need to avoid your question, you need to avoid the ambulance chasing.

Boy, things really could not look worse for us right now. The national media ridicule of the Raiders we have witnessed the last 6 years, might just be the tip of the iceberg…

Actually it can.
On Sunday you’re about to set a record for the worst record for 100 games..either 26-74, or more likely 25-75.

Even worse than Detroit.
Hell, even worse that TB first 100 games of their history, which was really bad.

Sorry to break the news to you.

Come on, Ricky, I know you can do better than that.

I know you follow the Raiders more closely than all of us.
