A Raider is Born

A Denver family of football supporters head out one Saturday to
Shop for the youngest son’s upcoming 4th birthday. While in the sports store, the son picks up an Oakland Raiders jersey and says to his older brother, "This looks really cool and I would like this for my birthday."
His big brother is so outraged by this and promptly whacks him round the head and says, "Go talk with mom."
Off goes the little lad with the Raiders’ jersey in hand and finds his mother.
"Mom?"
"Yes, son?"
"I've decided I would like this jersey for my birthday."
The mother is outraged, promptly whacks him around the head and says, "Go see your father."
Off he goes with the jersey in hand and finds his father.
"Dad?"
"Yes, son?"
"I've decided I would like this jersey for my birthday".
The father is so outraged he, too, whacks his son around the head and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!"
About half hour later they're all back in the car heading towards home. The father turns to the son and says,
"Son, I hope you've learned something today?"
The son says, "Yes, Dad, I have."
"Good, son. What is it?"
The son replies, "I've only been a Oakland Raiders fan for an hour and I already hate you F@#%ing Donkey b@st@rds.

Raider Raza Poem

It is not the end
It is just the beginning
Al will fix it all

Fire Norv and Collins
Emphasize fundamentals
Get a coach like Hill

Build some discipline
Cut down on the penalties
Run a tighter ship

With Moss and Burgess
Commitment to Excellence
Will be brought back here

So have no worries
Silver and Black will be back
Stronger than ever

Stand Raider Nation
We will be dominating
And making playoffs…

Sticky Icky Ricky

Sticky Icky Ricky comes to the Raiders and resurrects his career. This looks like a classic Al Davis Raider move waiting to happen.

Consider:
Sticky Icky Ricky is a misfit
He's available cheap
He already said he wish he "could be a Raider"
He has won a Heisman
He is strange dude
Sticky Icky is almost legal in Oakland

It would be a PR circus

In addition, Jordan is the worst RB in the AFC West, he is horrible blocker and has the worst hands in the league. We know Sticky Icky Ricky can catch with those sticky icky fingers. I remember comparing him to Bo when during his Heisman year and wishing he would be a Raider. Be careful what you wish for... Sticky Icky Ricky is strange but also special.

What I don't like about Sticky Icky Ricky is that he broke the cardinal rule of team camaraderie and commitment and quit the day before camp screwing the whole organization for the year. So even if he comes in as a cheap backup to Jordan, we all know he probably will take the starting position away from Jordan.

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth to demote one of our best team leaders in Jordan for a quitter. I wouldn't be comfortable going to battle with Sticky Icky Ricky but Jordan is the type of leader that before he points a finger at you he points three at himself. You know Jordan is going to give you everything he has.

With Sticky Icky Ricky we don’t even know if he is going to take off his helmet. He might drive around town with his helmet on for all we know…

And then he is going to realize that the Sticky Icky is almost legal in Oakland. For those not familiar with Oakland there is a street a quarter mile away from the coliseum named High St and you can buy pot there on the street!!! Everybody knows this; Nobody cares. The local residents passed a law a few years ago that stated that marijuana use was not a priority and now doctors are able to prescribe pot for medicinal use.

I can see it now Sticky Icky Rickey living in a hemp house in Berkeley becoming the new poster boy for the legalization of pot and opening his own pot club. There is already a Raider bar named Rickeys now there would be chain of pot clubs Sticky Icky Rickeys.
