RACK LaMont Jordan

[Raydah James]

''My reputation doesn't say I'm that kind of runner, and I know that I'm not that kind of runner. It's at the point now where I'm like, you know what, 'Put the team on my shoulders.' "

''I've been in the league for four years and I've been to the playoffs for three. And that one (losing) year, it was hell. I don't want to go through that again.''


Nice of head coach Al Davi.....err Norv Turner to realize we have a fucking premier running back who is fucking beast. Oh, and that a running game actually gets defenses to bite on play action if used......and opens up the passing game altogether.


'Put the team on my shoulders.'


They finally fucking did....the result? 122 yards on 22 carries and 3 touchdowns, and caught 4 passes for 40 yards. Of course, Carrie looked good because there wasnt an ounce of leadership pressure put on him with Jordan and Doug Gabriel playing lights out-and Moss playing hurt.

RACK the only leader on the offensive side of the ball, and the only one willing to step it and and call everyone out for being chump ass motherfuckers-LaMont fucking Jordan.


Things just might get interesting division-wise from here on out.....

[BSmack]

They beat the Bills, at home and minus half their formerly good defense.

Get over yourself.

[poptart]

Buffalo's run defense is not good, but yeah, I liked Jordan's game yesterday.

2 areas Rich Gannon criticized (running game, defense - creating turnovers) both stepped up large yesterday.

Bills......suck, let's keep that in mind.


I give Randy Moss a healthy pat on the back for sacking up and playing HURT.

Listed as doubtful, he played.

They do, but you know what...?

AL Davis is laughed at in every fucking knowledgeable football circle in America-even Raider circles.

The only fucks that remember Al's "Greatness" are in thier 40's and 50's-MY Generation looks at that fucking guy as nothing more than a punchline.....the 90's officially solidified that he had lost his fucking mind and couldnt change with the times. Bad decision after bad decision on Coaches, Players, and Moving of the team.

Which brings to mind one of my favorite quotes from "Raiders Forever" by jack tatum.

JT: "So After being drafted and in camp, im covering routes, running all over the damn field, and getting the coaches to raise an eye at how hard I play. In the meantime, I hear all this yapping about me on the sideline "He needs to turn quicker. He might not fit in this package. He needs to be faster. Yap. Yap. Yap. Yap. all damn day. At the end of the practice I yell out to whoever is saying this shit my way needs to "Shut the Fuck Up". Everyone got silent-and some laugh.

Of course, It ended up being Al."


In spite? With some of the quotes from the players themselves, I could believe that to a certain degree.

[Sirfindafold]

AL Davis is laughed at in every fucking knowledgeable football circle in America-even Raider circles.

Al Davis is an NFL Hall of Famer.

Live in the now...

Davis and Cowboys coach Bill Parcells have had a long-standing relationship that still flourishes, Parcells said in a conference call Wednesday.

"We talk about things to this day, yeah," Parcells said. "He's a football guy. He enjoys that, and I enjoy the wealth of knowledge that he has. It's been transmitted from him to me to many of my assistant coaches and players over the years."

Really? You mean like taking over the entire L.A. Market when the Rams left instead of moving back to a blue collar town, ripping those blue collar people off blind in the form of PSL's, and burying yourself in the form of not selling out a few years later because of it?

Follow all that up with crying wolf and threatening to leave again because of lack of sellouts and you have Al's genius "business" Gameplan.

My father, who owns and operates a business that has been written up multiple times in the L.A. Times-and who had season tickets the entire time they were in L.A. and took me to my first game literally laughs at how badly Al handled the whole hollywood park and move situation.

And my father, like you, is an Al lover. But he also can see the truth plainly for what it is.


Step the fuck on and out, SFF-you arent worth hearing a fucking opinion from regarding Al's fucked up and altogether stupid business dealings.

[poptart]

I don't want to get into a LONG Al Davis discussion, so I'll just make a couple of quick points and leave it alone.


1. I find it interesting that so many folks want to bury Al, when the fact of the matter is Oakland has been a MODEL OF NFL CONSISTENCY.

Since 1963 the Raiders have had back-to-back losing seasons just two times. 1996, 97 & 2003, 04. They have NEVER had as many as 3 losing seasons in a row. If this year is a losing one it'll mark the FIRST time in Davis' career that his team has flopped for 3 straight years.

Compare that to some other organizations and see what you come up with.

Raider fans are spoiled, bottom line.
They are melting over this current downward trend, but like the stock market, fortunes will rise once again for the Raiders.
Fortunes rose after the back-to-back losing years in the 90s, and the team won 3 division titles in a row, and was beaten by the Super Bowl winning team all 3 years.
Something similar will happen again.

Look, the 'haven't won in 20 yrs' take is lame. ONE team goes the distance each yr....just ONE. In reality, a team should expect to win one NFL title every 32 yrs. Raider fan has 12 more years to go before they start crying about 'failure'.


2. Al puts his money where his mouth is. He has ROUTINELY gone after talent, done what he can to put a winner on the field. How many owners SINCERELY do that....? Not many at all.


Those that want Al gone should think long and hard about what the alternative might be. Be careful what you wish for.
You're likely to get some wishy-washy dipshit who's in it for the MONEY, like many/most NFL owners.......speaking of winning, but never taking steps to back up their words.

None of us know what goes on behind closed door at the Raider offices. We ASSUME Davis makes every decision, but we don't know that. Whatever the case may be, I feel safe saying he needs to step back some. It would be in his best interest.

Bottom line is that I'm thankful for Al Davis.

Long live Al.

Good Argument. Rack it. I agree wholeheartedly with the bolded text. How great would this team be if Al could step away from his fucking ego?

Wont happen though. Another Puppet head coach will just replace the current one if he is fired.

I guess you didn't know that ticket prices and psl's are controlled by the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum Commission, not Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders.

My father, who owns and operates a business that has been written up multiple times in the L.A. Times-and who had season tickets the entire time they were in L.A.

who gives a fuck?



Al left LA for the same reason he left Oakland in the first place. He wanted his team to play in a modern stadium. A stadium that would have the amenities (skyboxes, etc) that could provide revenue to help compete with the rest of the league. He was promised those things by the LA Coliseum Commision. Many renovations were made to the Coliseum, but it was (and still is) a shithole.

If he was given the same type of financial assistance that other teams in the NFL (namely Carolina) were given during the same time period, they might still be in LA

He was lured back to Oakland with assurances of an updated stadium (which have been completed) and sell-outs.

[Sirfindafold]

Long live Al.

excellent post.

One question for you Poptart (or any other sensible person). Does anyone, outside the Raider organization, really know how involved Al Davis is?

If you listened to people like James and Felix, you would think that he calls all the plays, makes all personnel decisions, sell season tickets, etc. etc.

[Raydah James]

So Al didnt have a thing to do with PSL's in any way, shape or form-however miniscule?


Christ you're an idiot.

Have you BEEN to Network Associates/MacAfee/Whatever the fuck its called this season stadium? Its just as big of a fucking shithole as the Colliseum.

Bottom line is this: If Alcula stays in the LA market he would've made MUCH more $$$$ and gained new fans who now had nothing to do and hated the Rams for moving on them.

It might have taken LA a few years, but after the Rams and Raiders left people in the 2nd largest TV market in the US were already asking when we'd get an expansion team.

If you dont think that Al could've leveraged some sort of significant upgrades or new stadium being the only NFL team in town (especially with the rams leaving town and Al's ability to move in the forefront of thier minds), then you really are as fucking dumb as your posts portray you to be.

It took both teams leaving in the same offseason for LA football fans horrors to be realized. Al could've been a fucking demigod in the LA market-especially during the 3 year run that saw us compete for a championship.

He was lured back to Oakland with assurances of an updated stadium (which have been completed) and sell-outs.

Which will never happen again in that stadium unless another teams fans fill it.

To much other business sided bullshit (The hollywood park debale) to get into right now SFF-but if Al stays in LA after the Rams leave, he eventually gets the LA commision in the palm of his hands. That is well known. Problem is, he never gave it a chance to PWN the 2nd largest US market.

His bad.

If you listened to people like James and Felix, you would think that he calls all the plays, makes all personnel decisions, sell season tickets, etc. etc.

I have read multiple accounts by multiple players that Al makes ALL personell decisions and has MASSIVE input on calling plays-moreso on the defensive side of the ball, where he believes he accells.

Read "Raiders Forever", "Tom Flores Tales from the Oakland Raiders", and "You're OK, its just a bruise"

All of these offerings quote players who say the same thing.

sell season tickets, etc. etc.

Shut the fuck up, cunt.

08:30 PDT OAKLAND -- A contentious lawsuit over control of the Oakland Raiders brought by the family of one of the team's co-founders against principal owner Al Davis has been settled, team officials have confirmed.

Terms of the settlement were not released, but Raiders Chief Executive Amy Trask confirmed the agreement and said the organization was comfortable with its terms.

"We are very satisfied with the resolution," said Trask. "But the settlement has a confidentiality provision, and we cannot comment any further."

Heirs of Raider co-founder E.W. McGah filed suit in Alameda County Superior Court in October 2003, claiming that general partner Al Davis was using his power as the team's largest shareholder to deny the family its full stake. The family owns 31 percent of the team.

An attorney representing McGah's family could not be reached to comment on the case.

McGah co-founded the franchise with P. Wayne Valley in 1960, and Davis joined the partnership a year later, becoming head coach and manager in 1963. McGah died in 1983, leaving his interest in the team to his son, Ed McGah Jr., who was a limited partner in the ownership group until his death in 2002.

Al fucking OWNS the team-if you dont think that ALL things in that Organization have to go through him in some way, shape, or form-then you are a complete fucking idiot.

Have you BEEN to Network Associates/MacAfee/Whatever the fuck its called this season stadium?

Yes. Obviously you haven't or you would have notice the skyboxes and other amentities not available at the LA Coliseum.

Bottom line is this: If Alcula stays in the LA market he would've made MUCH more $$$$ and gained new fans who now had nothing to do and hated the Rams for moving on them.

Thats why teams are falling all over themselves to get into the LA market? The Raiders have been out there for what, ten years now. The only time you hear about another team moving to LA is when they are leveraging for a better deal in their hometown.

It might have taken LA a few years, but after the Rams and Raiders left people in the 2nd largest TV market in the US were already asking when we'd get an expansion team.

What people? the people of LA?

Ive got a million fucking links to that shit.....but I'll give the funniest example here:

"2. Al Davis
Davis, the don of the Oakland Raiders, wins points for bringing the NFL to its knees in court. But what makes him a hustler is his willingness to move the Raiders to any corner of the globe for the right offer and his ability to seal the deal. He'll move the silver and black into your neighborhood field if you add a couple of luxury boxes and sell some personal seat licenses (PSL). It's the biggest selling point when a team wants to move to a new city. The new stadium will issue PSLs to sell each seat at every game for a large number of years.


PSL 329 Raiders has a ring to it, don't you think? And if you don't, have fun trying to stop Al from getting what he wants."

ESPN's 10 biggest hustlers


Perfectly said-and that was just the funny one.


Still think poor, unknowing, old man Al isnt involved in any way with the PSL's program that fucked an entire fanbase over?


Dumbshit.
