Just because I appreciate the Oakland Raiders as a team, does that mean I have to appreciate Pirates over Ninjas? Just a thought… throwin’ it out there to discuss and debate.
Your favorite team that touts the Black Hole shall be taking the field under new supervision this season.

Mr. Lane Kiffin will be calling the shots from the sidelines (with extra-special supervision from Grandpa Davis, of course). Kiffin assumed the role at the ripe age of 31 in January. 31. The age of the me. Yes, he will be the youngest-ever coach in the NFL, but HE’S MY AGE. Eff me. I’m old.
Other valid points about this year’s squad:
- Fourth head coach in 6 seasons
- Off-season pickups include RB Dominic Rhodes from Indy and FB Justin Griffith from Hot-lanta.
- Crowning achievement: Selection of QB JaMarcus Russell from LSU as the first pick in the 2007 NFL Draft
- First regular-season game is home-opener vs. the Detroit Lions
- Raiders.com was recently re-launched with an all-new design and a bevy of new features
- Meena Was Just Named Raiderette of the Week
Holy Sweet Sam Hell, that’s hot news! While I appreciate that Drew Tate took Russell to town in the 2004 Capital One Bowl, I also don’t see Tate’s ass (welcome to the CFL) being signed by an NFL team this year.
So, in conclusion, we have a worthless quarterback (Dante Culpepper), backed up by a rookie (Russell), the youngest and most inexperienced coach in the League of National Football (Kiffin) and really the only thing we have going for us is that our “Spirit Squad” is still allowed to date players. So the players actually have that to look forward to… *sigh*.
Anyway… sleepy time. Go Raiders!
