Hi!! My name is Kevin and lived in the bay area when veeerrry young. Oakland Tribune put on the front page of the green sheet (sports page), a cartoon of (Saturday--Cal Bears vs whoever--Sunday--results of Saturday AND Raiders (looking big and bad pirate, plunderen', eye patch (as an 8 year old kid--you know I had no chance--Raider for life!!!!!!!
Of course on Monday--cartoon--Pirate just looking trashed by a Bear or 49'er or who ever. Made no difference!!! I think I'm in my second childhood because the SAME DAMN S*** IS HAPPENING!!! Any way (pardon the hiccup) There is only one team!! Anyway, sorry for ramblin-.

#1 thing that will help---Put the personal that we have--IN THE RIGHT POSITION!! Brayton back at end--that's a thought
and for goodness sake Gallery at left tackle!! He moves to the left, he is a left tackle and he sucks on the right side!!!
Anyway--Once a Raider, always a Raider--Same thing for fans. If you bandwagon--go root for the flippin donkeys!!

Im a Raider fan from Berkeley, which is right next to Oakland...I became a Raider fan when they moved back to Oakland, which was right about the time that I was getting into football. Im young, so I wasn't very old then, so don't go thinking that Im some guy who didnt get interested in football until he was 20 years old. Nowadays, im just a straight up NFL-nut.

Whats up guys. My name is Dex. I live in southern Lousiana. My dad was a Raider fan since he was 18 so me and my brother was Brought up in Silver and Black. I dont really have any players that led me to be a raider fan, its the mentality that the Raiders used to have as being the hated team that would punch you in the mouth when if they had the chance and im extremely glad that Art Shell is back to restore that "swagger" or attitude. I play football for my highschool and i play with that Raider attitude so I bleed SILVER AND BLACK! All my mocks and updates on players are in the effort to try and restore that mean attitude to my beloved RAIDERS!!

Hey all, My name is Justin, 21 from Oswego NY (home of pornstar nadia hilton and hockey player eric cole) about 35 miles north of syracuse right one the lake. I have been a Raiders fan since I can remember. My whole family laughs at me every year since we made the superbowl vs. Tampa and blew it. But our day is comming. My favoirte Raider currently is Kirk Morrison, he's a stud, and will be for years if we dont deal him or fail to lock him up long term. My favorite raider of the past would have to be Bo Jackson. I am hoping the Raiders can get back to where they need to be. playoffs and then back to the Superbowl.

Hi from Paris, France. I've been a raider fan since 89 and i try to follow them as much as i can (which is kinda hard since there's almost no coverage of the NFL over here). I had the chance to attend a game in LA in 1990, actually it was the last game of the season against the chargers just before Bo blew up his hip. 36 stands for Terry McDaniel (and not Gibson, pleassssse). My fav players now are Woodson (until march 3 at least), Morisson, Porter and Tommy Kelly.

Hey, I'm from Sonora, Mexico but i live and work in Tj.

I've been a member of the Nation since the late 80's, Football wasnt that big in Mexico back then, but i used to never miss MNF and the Raiders had always at least two a year. I dont know what really happened or how i got hooked with the silver and black, i guess it was the mystique and attitude that the team always used to play with, even when they lost they still were feared and respected.

Some of my favorite players (that I saw) are Wisniewski , Bo, Tim Brown, Greg Thownsend, Howie, Charles W. And currently I like Morrison, Randy, Lamont, Grove and Tommy Kelly.

Right now I'm just waiting for the Raiders to be in the place they should in the NFL and that's in the Top. I still trust "El Padrino", I think He is the Ultimate Raider. See ya Around. 8)
