Grid-locked

Nice article on the Super Bowl champion Raiders. It reminded me that they were once a good team.

Here are the last 23 years. (I cannot resist bringing up these numbers; Al Davis obviously hides from them):

11 losing seasons.

Eight seasons with more than 10 losses, current streak of six 11-loss seasons.

Five 8-8 seasons.

That is 16 out of 23 seasons they failed to win more than they lost and there were also two mediocre 9-7 seasons.

When Al Davis says they will get back to winning ways, he can’t possibly think the last 23 years were winning. Oh wait, we are talking about the biggest nut job on the planet.

Aaaah, that felt good.

Now that the Raiders have added former USC coach Paul Hackett as quarterbacks coach, where do I sign up for Super Bowl tickets? Paul Hackett? Apparently Sid Gillman was not available.

President Obama recently outlawed waterboarding as it was deemed a cruel form of torture.

Attention President Obama: Los Angeles already has the McCourts and now might also get the Chargers. Help!

The Chargers might move to Los Angeles? Suddenly, Al Davis doesn’t look so bad.
