Raiders Fan Ray

An amazing season this has been. Nothing has been concrete, nothing too predictable. Except the further demise of the Raiders in Oakland. The ending of one of (the only actually) the largest blogosphere I've ever had the opportunity to be a part of. I'm not sad about this, nor pissed. Somber with reflection caps it. The last couple of seasons have been frustrating, yet, joyful. See, I've moved on with life as so many others have.

The greatest thing that's happened is I have a new baby boy. This kid has taken so much of my time it's unreal. But that's ok. I'm grateful. He's sleeping now which is why I'm able to write today. His name is Carsten Evan, give him a shout out will ya? Now to the Raiders!

THEY SUCK, PERIOD! Even when they did good, they found a way to kill themselves and the spirit of everyone around them. Well, lets see how Al screws up this upcoming draft to keep the Silver & Black in the cellar. Yeah, just another tax write off to Al. Is it possible to go 0-16 next season? The Raiders will find a way, I have faith.

Art Shell came back this season. What was he thinking? He's now gone. Now, looking for a new head coach. Any takers? How about...Bill Cowher? Nahhh, he wants 8 Million and Al isn't going for that. A ship without rudders we be cause the Captians gone loco! What's the chance we just drop everyone on the team and just (I repeat this after 6 losing seasons) R-E-B-U-I-L-D??! Shell's fate was sealed the day he thought about coming back. Not his fault though, the cards were stacked against him. Maybe we can steal someone from Indianapolis, New York or Tennessee. Hell, even from Houston. Anythings gotta be an improvement.

We had a chance with a good possibility, Sean Payton, but he must have heard of the way Al deals with the Raider organization: His way or No way! So what does Sean do? He goes somewhere else that's equally dangerous and controversial...NEW ORLEANS. The rest is history. And by the way, my lady is from New Orleans and lets me know about the Saints every Sunday. Dammit Man! Isn't he in the running for Coach of the Year or something?

A team we've normally dominated since it's infancy, the Chargers are in the playoffs. I knew this would happen. I was convinced on September 11, 2006. The 1st Monday night game of the season. Hurt feelings and extreme embarrassment not to mention seeing the familiar 'Who Cares' looks from Shell on the sidelines and the 'What's going On' looks from a deaf, dumb, and blind Davis in the booth. I can actually congratulate SanDEE for their achievments this season. I wish them the best. See ya next season.

I will sit on my couch this post-season, watching other teams continue on for greatness, cause we all know the Raiders don't even deserve it. I will root for who I might think will win the BCS Crown and hope March Madness arrives quickly (Go Lady Vols). The New York Yankees will win the 2007 World Series and Tiger Woods first child will be born. In fact, they'll have twins!

As I look back on the last few seasons, including the 06-07 fiasco that Oakland took part of, I ceromoniously burn my Fathead helmets alonside my hanging voodoo doll of Al. I'll see you all on the flip side of 2008, in the Super Bowl. Just not with the Raiders.
