In the 1970s and 1980s, I understood it. I didn't respect it at all, but I understood it. The Raiders' reputation back then was that they didn't care if you snorted cocaine at halftime or if you sexually assaulted children in the training facility. All they cared about was that you played dirty, and some players liked that.
But today? The Raiders are just another buttoned-up corporate team. If you fancy yourself a rebel, you should want to go to the Seahawks or the Saints or something. The Raiders these days wear ties.

It is rather strange, Rain. Even the era of Oakland being historically reeruned with their FA contracts should be coming to a close with another fine Thompson graduate at the helm.
Who knows?
There are some things we simply can not explain away.
