raider41510 – I have a feeling “the assistant” cares about it and the other guys on the coaching staff as well…just to name a few. Blaming the refs and the league for all of the Raiders problems is hardly going to rectify years of bad draft choices/acquisitions, bonehead decisions and lethargic (at best) play on the field. BTW, what flavor is Raider Kool-Aid that you’re drinking? Is it really Black & Silver like Slam suggested?

I appreciate your passion but you need to temper it with a little respect. Just because I call out an entire organization after a 45-7 loss in which not one player (except Nnamdi) or coach showed any passion (preseason or not) does not mean I’m not a true fan. Also, if you are proud of how that team played against the Saints then I wonder why you’re a Raider fan. This is my team for life and that will never change. However, it does not mean that they get a pass for such poor play.

Also, you know what happens when you assume, right? Since you love to act like you know so much about me and my readers, here are a few links to some other things I’ve written about the Raiders over the last six months. Maybe you’ll stop by here more often so you can read my posts before assuming I’m a “closet” fan.

Here is one on Al Davis:

Since you’re a little late to the Heyward-Bey/Crabtree thing, here is a post I wrote the day DHB signed:

When everyone else was saying that there was a QB controversy in Oakland, I wrote this:

Here is one about how ESPN loves to hate the Raiders:

And just so you don’t think all I do is read the headlines, here is one about Justin Fargas and Tom Cable:

Maybe I’m not “good enough” to be a Raider fan in your book. But that won’t stop me from rooting for my favorite team or for writing about my favorite team.

For better or for worse.

The fact is, Al Davis is 100% in charge of the roster, and it gets worse year-to-year, not better, so don’t blame our shitty play on penalties.

Back away from the Silver and Black Kool Aid and splash some cold water on your ignorant pie hole.

Al Davis is the worst GM in any sport anywhere. Open your eyes, fool.
