They're Baaaaaack !!!!!

The Autumn Wind is a pirate

Blustering in from sea

With a rollicking song he sweeps along

swaggering so boisterously

His face is weather beaten

he wears a hooded sash

with his silver hat about his head

and a bristly black moustache

He growls as he storms the country

A villain big and bold

and the trees all shake and quiver and quake

as he robs them of them of their gold

The Autumn Wind is a Raider

Pillaging just for fun

He'll knock you down and upside down

And laugh when he's conquered and won.

It is possible

that this might be the year I attend my first football game. Thanks for the reminder!

Let me know cuz as a

season ticket holder for the Raiders, I can help you to avoid the fees, if you wish.

Football

Is dead to me, just a H8R these days.

Enjoy the game

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind

At least this year it seems like we won’t be so concerned about the Raiders tearing up our outfield for October….

Yeah, there’s really no contest here.

I'm sure I've asked you before

But why the hate for football?

same reason some folks hate baseball

I find football to be astonishingly tedious to watch.

Wow

That bad? Maybe I’m just blinded because I grew up always watching it, but care to elaborate?

I don't agree with you

But that was an oddly funny description.

here we go, steelers, here we go

You can bring a 40 and smoke a cigarette and call me from the parking lot asking me what time the game is, and I'll tell you. You can even say 'F--- you, Steve!' Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball

Niners Nation

I know this is a post about the Raiders, but for the 49ers fans out there who haven’t been, SB Nation has a 49ers site: Niners Nation.

And I’ll even plug our Raiders site for those who don’t know about it: Silver and Black Pride, run by AN’s very own Saint.

Raiders Site. Is ther one fo the Warriors?

You're a Raider fan too

Another reason to like you Imaseasonticketholder.

Hey, saw you (because of the hat) in New York waiting to get in Monument Park before the game. I wanted to say hi but my son and I were back further in the line.

A postdated shout out at Yankee stadium.

I’m excited what the Raiders have for us this season.

I actually like the CFL

which is really weird because I have never, ever, ever followed an NFL game.

Also, Todd Linden has a .231 lifetime average and a 66 career OPS+, chill Linden fans.
