The Raiders mimic all the struggles we have in our lives.

Hopeless despondency.

Wasting resources.

Lost opportunities.

We are the Raiders.

And the Raiders are us.

But there is also hope.

No matter what situation you are in, there is always hope.

I’m a masochist. I need the pain in my life evidently.

After all these years they never let me down, I’m still entertained 🥴

The Raiders gave me something to hang onto, through some very dark times in my life. They gave me something to look forward to, to cling to, and a reason to keep breathing. Angry though I may have been, they stirred the fight in me that kept me standing. So I’m forever grateful. And forever loyal.

Al Davis easily. Everything I love beyond him stems from his legacy.

What I love about the Raiders?…They won 3 super bowls in 6 years…What do I hate about the Raiders?…They haven’t won a Championship in last 43 years and as far as NFL football goes, it’s been a friggin nightmare!!!…I do feel like we are at a turning point right now though…The immediate future is looking bright for the team we love to love and love to hate!!!
