"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and fuckups, they have lots of penalties, fights and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get fucked. Also, they don't have a lot of Christians kneeling down to pray after touchdowns. Christians are ruining sports. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in shit and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits." -- George Carlin, Brain Droppings
We'll see how next week's draft goes, but I'm cautiously optimistic (for a change) on the Raiders' chances this season. While it would have been an easy douche move to declare "16-0" right from the start, the schedule actually isn't that tough, and they should be able to swing at least seven of those games, maybe as many as nine. They're going to have to for Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen to keep their jobs, which may not be entirely fair, but is still the way it goes.
