  QB-The Raiders need some experience there, as the Lions are finding out to their discomfort. 78-mil, does you no good if the sweet young thing is riding a bench after being banged up.....So, look around the league and at the stats of the various backups and vets. What you want is someone with decent numbers, who`s team is showing him no love. My pick for sneaky move of the year? Kevin Kolb. Very decent QB, living in the shadow of Donovan McNabb, and ahead of the threat of Michael Vick. Sure it`ll cost, but you can`t continue to live with the economy picks forever.
  See, my thing is, I used to argue football with a very good friend for years. I`m Seahawks, she`s Raiders, and she cut my hair. I used to give her big tips, not for the haircuttin`, but for the great and detailed football discussions. Then she got married, had a rugrat, and retired. But there Al, is the secret. You will have to pay some to get out of this rut you`re in. Put your bucks in a new coaching staff, and a new QB, then back off.
  It`s like gardening. You plant the seeds in rich earth, add water, then let the seeds do what they know best, how to do.

  EXCELLENT ANALYSIS--IDEA...YOU LISTENIN' AL OR AL'S PEOPLE? YOU FOLKS READING THIS? seriously, you obviously are not as genius as you think you are at raiders organization. HERE'S A FOOTBALL FAN MAKES DAMN GOOD SENSE... do yourself and us a favor---TAKE HIS GOTDAMN ADVICE... it is good advice...yes, there are a bunch of ways to skina cat and more than one might work--and you raiders have tried 9000,000 wrong ways... give a regualr guy who knows the game from gut a shot... KOLB? with the right coach and an improvment in offensive line... could work. and there ARE others...BUT you gotta do the "gardening" as wheelman say perfectly says. just start with better stuff this time...

  AN ASIDE IN PASSING: went to the STANFORD-OREGON GAME yesterday---WOW! WHAT A BLAST! i will do nothing but college ball until the Raiders grow up... and if any of you Raider fans are looking for a football experience that is INCREDIBLE... try one of hte local college teams. the spirit is kickin'--tail-gating and fun is max---i may try Cal--wanna see best before he leaves... of course--they got a little bit of the raider fever over there--some bad decisions being made... Best should be in heisman race... he will be an interesting pro...

  Wheelman would overhaul the entire team by teaching them how to write proper limmericks before each game

    Nah, I`d teach `em odes. Limericks have a precision that`s currently lacking around Oakland.

    Been ages since I`ve written any haiku. Had some published in the mid-70`s. For the moment, with the Hawks acting like the Skins, I`ve begun to think about funeral dirges.

  damn---AL--YOU NEED TO CALL THESE GUYS FOR YOUR CREW... okay--wheel--GM--and filly (name says he'd turn down the job, unfortunately...but then you OCULD remind him we uh...beat philly)--for head of team promotions... AL WE NEED HELP FROM WHEREVER WE CAN GIT IT!

    Well, since we only lose...er play you guys every three years or so I would take the job and take a leave of absence when we play ya! Team promotions, huh....hmmmmm.....
    
    Things I would do...
    
    
    1) Hire 50 or so Raider fans led by Tanya, of course to welcome the visiting team bus with 1000 eggs dyed in silver and black with the Raider logo on it. Fan that gets his egg inside the bus gets season tix.
    
    2) Turn the black hole into a REAL black hole where Raiders of the past can come and go through and join the huddle to throw off the opposition. Just imagine Stabler, Branch, Willie Brown and Lester Hayes jumping into the game..
    
    3) Show the nastiest hits over and over to keep the crowd pumped up during the game.
    
    4) Get Al Davis those sunglasses with ear plugs that show old games without him watching the current game being played. This way it keeps Al happy and keeps him too busy to interfere with the coaches and players on the field..
    
    5) When the opposition is in the red zone, give all the fans in the end zone flip up mirrored sunglasses to deflect in the eyes of the QB. When the play is over fans flip sunglasses up...refs would never know...
    
    Just a few changes I would make as your team promo guy....
  • RAIDERBONE replied 15 days ago

    FILLY!!! YOU'RE HIRED! DAMN! i LOVE all of your "improvements"--your innovations. especially the Black Hole--that allows the old Raiders to enter the huddle... hell, love to see that in a movie. and then al with them glasses? priceless. and blinding the opposition with refective sunglasses---NASTY! love it...man, you and wheel together would put us back in the Super Bowl--and i KNOW damn well you have a few ideas about how we could pump that up to new levels... MATTER FOR FACT--IF ANY OF YOU PROMO FOLKS ARE LOOKIN IN--YOU MIGHT MAKE A LITTLE PROMO FILM WITH FILLY'S IDEAS--MAYBE WE CAN AVOID SOME OF THOSE BLACKOUTS NEXT YEAR--HEY--AND DON'T FORGET TO PAY THE GUY FOR HIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, HERE...
