Although I can name most of the team, I do have to agree with you on this. There are a lot of posers out there. Our fan base does give us a bad name, but know this...there are good honest Raider's fans out there and I consider myself one of them. It's just like all stereotypes....there are always exceptions to the rule.

I know man. That's why I through in the friendly ribbing at the end. One of my best friends is a Raiders fan. In fact, her whole family is die hard. Her husband's a Dolphins fan, and I'm a Patriots fan (TUCK RULE!!!). So, needless to say, there's major trash talking going on during the season. I give respect though if yer a lifer and know what yer teams all about and yer not just in it for the image. None the less, I still hate 'em.

All I could do was shake my head...What are they thinking??? I swear, if it weren't for all of the veterans on they're last leg, the Raiders wouldn't sign anybody.

Jeff George? I didn't even know he was even in the league still...I thought he was out washing cars!

He probably was... hasn't been in the league since Sept. 2001. I love it when the Raiders do things like this.

It is a new shut ins program that they started for the elderly. They are doing things to get them out of the house, and they decided to start with Ole Jeffy.

I bet he has his own oxygen tank carrier on the side lines. I wonder what it will look like wearing a pair of "Depends" under football pants???

Wrong, he was with the Bears 2 years ago for part of the season.

Do any of you true Raider's fans like Janakowski? He is my biggest irritation...I don't know why the Raiders keep this guy...sure he'll make 47 of 47 but the one time you need him in the clutch...he misses.

Please vent if you feel the same...

Yeah, I remember when the raiders took him in the 1st. I dont even think Mason Crosby will crack the top half of the 2nd (here at CU we think he should win the Heisman) .

Oh, I'm a Broncos fan. I still think the raiders are gonna finish last in the west.

Having said that I did root for them when Madden was coach and Jake "the Snake" Stabler was tossing the ball to the Dave "Ghost at the post" Casper...

Raiders have always been an entertaining team to say the least
I believe his name is Ken stabler. Anyway I think theyll have a pretty good year...
