RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 This started long before Mark Davis took over the team. Al Davis was a joke. He and Kim Jong Il shared a lot in common.... crazed belief they were wiser and better than they were.... ridiculous love of jumpsuits... handed the kingdom over to an inept son... their king/team hated by anyone with more than three brain cells. No need to bring politics in to the situation, At one time Al Davis was a great owner. He should have sold the team back in the 90's but he had too much pride. People have short memories. Sure, they have sucked for the last thirteen years. But as a fan since the late 60's I will always love them and give them sh** no matter what happens! :madra:They had some great years...Stabler era...Plunkett...Bo Jackson. I was living in Washington during the early 80's and the rivalry with the Seahawks was epic. The entire AFC West was solid, actually. ETA: How could I leave out Lyle Alzado? Fu** yeah! , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZvEaRc0k2U This is what I grew up with. :madra: :madra: :madra: REAL RAIDER FOOTBALL!Dave Casper! :dweez: "The Ghost To The Post!!" YES!!!! OTIS SISTRUNK! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 So, San Antonio is (slightly) abuzz with the news some of the Raider staff met with various city types to walk the Alamodome to see if it is a good "temporary fit" (while the city apparently pursues building another stadium). Really?!? Ummmmmm.... One, I am very certain this is just a play to get better terms from either Los Angeles or the Oakland area on a new facility there. Two, kind of ridiculous we would commit to building a new stadium when the dome we already have had no permanent tenant. Granted, unlike the Houston Astrodome, the San Antonio Alamodome is actually fully paid for, but really, it is little more than a fairly well run albatross. Three, I really don't see people down here supporting the Raiders. This is diehard Cowboy country. It would take generations to convert the area to Raider/AFC football. The games would probably sell out, yes, with fans from other NFL cities taking a long snowbird weekend to enjoy the warm South Texas winters and their favorite team beating the snot out of the Raiders. (Which, from a city tourism point-of-view isn't really that bad of an idea). I think the only thing the Raiders might have going for them with San Antonio fans is their colors are silver and black... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to get a blood transfusion if they move to LA or Texas. Maybe I can ask Keith Richards who his doctor is. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I became a fan back in the late 60's. I lived just outside of Kansas City and my stepfather was a huge Chiefs fan. I didn't like him at all. When the game was on TV I would look at him and then look back at the TV and remember telling myself I will take the guys in Black!! :madra: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving is the last thing the team should be worrying about. That's not going to change any thing as far as getting them back on the right track. They need a complete overhaul from top to bottom.
