Fell in love with the Raiders watching super bowl 2 as a little boy. Then grew up in the 70's going to almost every home game in the Oakland Coliseum and watching all those great teams coached by Madden. Almost never saw them lose and it was glorious. Been really tough for a long time now but I feel really good now as AP has them playing like the Raiders of old and I couldn't be prouder and happier. Welcome to the dark side bro and in the words of the Great Al Davis... "Just Win Baby"
The Raider Nation welcomes him with open arms to his new home. He didn't choose the Raiders. He was ordained and chosen by the Raiders. As such he was gifted a 63 point win and a Christmas miracle.
As much as they were hated for decades, when the Raiders are better, the NFL is better. Sadly, each commissioner has tried to sabotage them, going all the way back, to Roselle.
@@leemoore8068 Ask them. There have always been feuds between the commissioners and the Raiders. It started as a personal feud between Roselle and Al Davis after the merger of the AFL and NFL. Al Davis had been the AFL commissioner and had actually nominated Roselle for commissioner of the merged league. Then the league owners voted to keep the Raiders from moving to Los Angeles in the 80's. Al Davis sued the league and won. Ever since, they've been feuding. There seemed to be a truce after Al Davis died, but it picked back up again when Goodell found out Jon Gruden had said something unsavory about him in an email (said when he was not coaching in the NFL, found out when he was.) Goodell pressured Mark Davis to fire him after cherrypicking other emails Jon Gruden had sent and leaking them to the press. There's still a lawsuit pending on that, which will resume in January. Sources seem to think Jon Gruden will win that. If he does, there's a possibility (no one knows how likely) that Gruden could coach the Raiders again.
@@leemoore8068because goodell the commissioner has beef with former raiders head coach Jon gruden and gruden sued the nfl and goodell for leaking his emails that made him resign
@@leemoore8068The main issue comes from the NFL having a beef with Al Davis. When the NFL split into the NFL and AFL Al Davis became the commissioner of the AFL. The AFL was known to have better games than the NFL. Most players would rather play for the AFL and most viewers would rather watch the AFL due to the games being more exciting. While Al Davis was the head of the AFL all the other owners went behind his back and signed back to the NFL. Every since then there has been a rift between The Raiders organization and all other teams, owners and the commissioner of the NFL. This is the main contributing factor to why you have things like 'the tuck rule game" and other questionable instances in Raider history. The Raider Nation has cried foul for decades and there is evidence to support their claims.
