Come On Oakland!

I have never been a big fan of the Oakland Raiders, it always has seemed that Oakland was the place to go to either end your career or you ended up there because you were a problem child and nobody else wanted you. But lately things have been getting out of control. First there was the Kiffen debacle where Al Davis pulled a Jerry Jones and tried to bring in an inexperienced coach on the cheap and expected him to make a difference, but Al still ran the team and selected JaMarcus Russell in the first round of the 2007 draft who turned out to be a lemon. Now Big Al releases DeAngelo Hall just 8 days after signing him to a $70 million contract. Interim coach Tom Cable is quoted as saying he hopes the move sends the message that no ones job is safe. How about Al's, is his job safe?

Here's what Raider fans need to do. Go get this guy.


If he can't rally the troop he can at least get a mob together by intimidation alone. Now they need to storm the Raiders offices and form a coup, but don't take Al as a hostage, people will only meet your demands for things that they hold dear to them and that's not Al. Once you have something of value you need to make a list of demands, this is what I suggest:

1. Al Davis retires and is banished to Elba Island
2. The year is already in the tank so the team has to lose the remaining games so they can get a first round draft pick (this demand depends on the Lions actually winning a game this season)
3. No more metal detectors at the entry gates to McAfee Stadium, it takes forever to take off our spiked football pads and helmets just to walk through the sensors
4. You might as well ask for a helicopter too, everybody asks for a helicopter
   

Come on Raider fans you guys are the rowdiest bunch of fans in the NFL why have you not taken control of this situation yet?
