LOL this nigga got all sad and had to bring up someone on the 49ers that sucks. You know, I look around this board and see a lot of Raider fans crying about how every Raider thread turns into a Raider Vs. 49er thread but a lot of the time the Raider fan is the one to blame. I mean seriously, what the fuck does Trent Dilfer or any 49er for that matter have to do with who WE have on OUR squad? The guy asked who WE had, not who the 49ers had. Granted, Fatal did jokingly named someone who sucks, but the guy IS on OUR team so the punch was not out of line.
Then there's the hypocrisy. Raider fans are always talking about how the past is the past and all that shit, mostly when in an argument with a team that has more championships than ours, like the Cowboys, 49ers or Steelers, but then someone has to throw our 3 championships in somebody else's face. I understand the dude jokingly named players of the past, but players and championships are not the same. Personally I believe the past does mean something, it contributes to the franchise and provides history... It's what makes your franchise what it is. But we can't pick and choose when it's OK to bring up past accomplishments and when it's just considered "living in the past." This is not really about this particular thread, I've seen the arguments about this shit all over this board.
Anyway as you can probably tell I'm having a bad day at the office. Just a few things I had to point out.

I think thats where you got it all twisted, First off when i named the old raider players i was being sacastic, i was actually poking fun at my fellow san diegan and the pretty lame post. Without thinking and obviously irritated you quickly responded with the raider theme "3 championships"....Then you wanna go on and start saying that i keep brining up the past, what have i brought up? Is it when i asked when the last time the raiders won a division game was? cause is so, thats not the past, thats actually a current streak(or lack of one)
Then you say these chumps is funny tryna talk shit on the raiders, i havent once, through this whole thread said " Chargers gonna beat that ass on sunday" nor have i even cared to predict a score..
And last i have posted directly to your threads before saying how much i love watching Kirk Morrison, how Derrick Burgess is a beast.
Youre acting like Charger fans aint got no room to talk, yet you wanna make threads two weeks before the damn game? talking about welcome back to the cellar and shit like that. So why is it that you feel you could talk down on the chargers? why is it that you feel this team is so sorry, when in reality they are tied for first place with your team? The chargers could easily be 4-1 right now, they have talent but its all about execution
I know you guys are excited to see that your team is on its way back, but lets get real...both teams have one two games, thats it! The Raiders combined opponents have a losing record, while the Chargers Opponents have a combined winning record...Know what that means? Not a damn thing, thats why they play the game, and if the raiders win on sunday i will come in here and give my due, however i know that if the chargers win you will be screaming at how the refs cheated or chargers got lucky or some shit.

Yes sir. I am a Raider fan to the bone, but I have to keep it real. As much as I don't want to put down people who are fans of the Raiders, it's hard sometimes. I mean the shit talking is OK, that's how shit goes down whenever you get fans of different teams together, but it's the crying and hypocrisy that pisses me off and forces me to go against my fellow Raider fans sometimes. On this board for example there are many Raider fans who bitch and moan about people talking shit about the Raiders, and then once it looks like we MIGHT be a decent team they start talking shit to another team they think is inferior all of a sudden. Basically being hypocrites. When our team gave us no room to talk they were acting like Raider fans were too good to stoop to the level of 49er or Bronco fans, but AS SOON as the team gives us a little room to talk they take full advantage and start talking shit... Which would be fine if they hadn't cried like little girls beforehand. And then they have the audacity to act like it's the 49er fans who cry about shit.
As of right now most of these guys are already acting like the Raiders are a good team. We still haven't seen anything that suggests we are/will be. It's way too early in the season. I think a lot of them are ignorantly thinking Daunte Culpeper is going to put up 5 TDs every damn game. The guy will start making mistakes like always, I know know that and most other fans do as well. So I won't be so quick to act like we have turned it around already. I still think we have a long way to go.
The shit gets irritating. I've calmed down and managed to see things in a different light in my later years. Years ago I'd be backing the Raider fans without even thinking about whether we were right or not. Now I see some idiot make statements that are going to get the Raiders bashed (rightfully so) and I just think "what an idiot" because he's just gonna get all hurt when people hit back and diss the Raiders.
There are a few people on this forum whom I wish were not Raider fans. They make me almost ashamed to call myself a member of the Raider Nation. I think I'll just call myself a Raider Fan and leave that Raider Nation shit to them.

wow, another great post. i appreciate the fact that youre being so candid and agree 100% with what youre saying, in my opinon the raiders have made some strides much quicker than i expected, but i dont think theyre quite there yet. that doesnt mean they wont win sunday either, you know..any given sunday? anyways, i will sit back and wait to see how long it takes for you to start getting hated on....There are some good knowledgeable fans on here and am glad to have educated comments coming from the "dark side"
when fans from SD start saying Chokeland....u got every right to fire back at them that they haven't won a playoff game since 94' especially with the team they had last year....i mean SD should of won the super bowl last year they looked unstoppable during the regular season....then another SD fan brings up that the raiders haven't had a winning season since 02', why not bring up Leaf if ur going to talk about the past que no?
Quit vouchin'... why don't you just go smooch with them then since you're coming to his defense...
The "real" Raider fans on here like myself hope we smash the Chargers to stay in first place in the AFC West (hence: the title of the thread). Real Raider fans ain't got time to come on here and smooch with Charger fans.
