Matt,
who would take your word for anything? You don’t say who your team is. You don’t even know how many free agent lineman the Raiders signed in the offseason. You are ignorant about everything Raiders but you still open that dick garage you call a mouth and spout unfounded nonsense. The only people that are laughing are the mindless sheeple like yourself that get there opinion from what others say, instead of forming there own. You obviously just started watching football recently.

Maybe Al Davis’s time has past but that’s only because no one has ever had a more complete management career in pro football history. In this, his 50th year in the business, I hope he sticks it to every critic and Heyward-Bey and Mike Mitchell become the next Cliff Branch and Jack Tatum. The way the pundits on ESPN have been publicly laughing at Davis and the Raiders is more than a bit unprofessional.

DHB scored a TD for every 3 pass caught. Crabtree scored a TD for every 5 pass caught.
Maclin scored a TD for every 8 pass caught. So much for DHB speed having a problem with defense putting 11 players on the field.

It’s difficult for me to believe all these people are coming to the defense of a delusional, egomanical owner whose teams have been terrible lately. That’s why he is laughed at. But don’t take my word for it. Look at the transcript of the press conference introducing Tom Cable as “coach” this year. In addition, coaches usually have some say about draft picks. But there was nary an offensive lineman…

Great article on Mr. Davis and you are right, (14)AFL or AFC Championship Games played to date with (2) coming early this decade. That is more then ANY TEAM IN THE AFC and more THEN ANY NFC TEAM but one the Raiders are tied with.

You list the (5) Super Bowls played in to date winning (3) but Al Davis has also had HIS RAIDERS a Liddel Fumble or an Emaculate Reception away from playing in another (5) Super Bowls.

That is just under 25% OF EVERY SUPER BOWL PLAYED TO DATE THAT THE RAIDERS HAVE PLAYED IN OR BEEN A PLAY AWAY FROM PLAYING IN, STUNNING.

I heard the dude that runs the HALL OF FAME state that Al Davis and the Raiders are such a major part of the History of the NFL. Played in many of the greatest games in NFL History and have so many players in the Hall of Fame that HE NEEDS TO BUILD AL DAVIS AND THE RAIDERS THEIR OWN WING AT THE HALL OF FAME.

And for those reasons WHICH ARE ALL FACT BY THE WAY is why he is dispised by so many fans from other teams. Lets face it as a Raider Fan I do not even know or could care less who the owner is of many of the teams in the NFL, why?, because they simply do not matter.

The bully on the block for so, so many years has fallen over the past few years while they rebuild a old Championship team from early this decade. And all the nobody’s of the World are out in force to stomp on the bully while he is down.

They are the type that spend their time watching E TV waiting for anyone who has made any thing of them self in life fall so they can pounce.

With many having achieved nothing in their own life it makes them feel better when they can trash the mighty that fall or hit a rough spot in their life.

I live in Vegas and a very good gambler once told me that the best way to judge what sucsess someone will have in their future is to look at their history of sucsess in the past.

I love it all, the we against the world part of being a Raider Fan, Raider Rock and great article.

What’s really fun is to go to San Diego as a tourist with my Raider T-Shirt on.

It is hilarious to see so many people freak out that a Raider fan has come to town. I guess decades of losing will do that.

FYI, the Raiders had the best record in the NFL for 4 years straight (2000-2003).

Chucky only won the Super Bowl because he knew the Raider playbook. Didn’t we sell him to TB for several million dollars and 1st and 2nd round drafy picks?

It don’t matter where the hated-bolts, chiefs and broncos think, Al’s Rai-duhs still got more rings and wins than the afc-west! Years and years of losing (most recently) will start 2 pan out 4 my Raiders and will be a proud franchise again…All The Raider Nation can d0 is stand behind our Leader and our Players, and Just Win, Baby!! RAAAAAAIDERS!!!!!!!

@one eyed:
For all the talk about the Raiders 6 year streak of futility, and the Dolts’ 10 game winning streak against them, there’s still something that your San Defeato Super Chokers cant compare to- the fact that even after 6 years of futility, the Raiders STLL have MORE playoff wins, MORE AFC championship appearances, and MORE SB appearances than your precious Chokers in this DECADE! Oh, not to mention the 3 Lombardis sitting in our trophy case, compared to your ONE DUSTY AFC championship trophy sitting in your case since 1994….

What the mediots and so called experts analyst don’t understand is that TEAM’S pick players to fit their system NOT what or where they have the guys projected to go and to whom.If these analyst/mediots are so good at their jobs why don’t they get a GM position or buy a team, run a team and see how they do.
