Oakland raiders are they?

Question

oakland raiders, are they cheaters? or cry babys? Being a steelers fan, i hate dallas, ravens, browns, benglas and cowboys. I do try to keep an open mind about most of these teams, but one team that i still hate are raiders, here's why. In 1974 AFC Championship they played the steelers on an ice frozen field and lost, their excuse? the steelers did it on purpose, they said that steelers are soft (in the 70s are u crazy? steel curtain). Then in 1976 their hall of "shame" wide receiver fred blietnikoff used so much sticky on his hands, he had to be hand fed chewing gum, because his hands were so sticky, also the raiders ***. coach would make their arm pads....into casts!? They would punish and hurt people with casts.....how is that not cheating? in my opinion john madden and his raiders are the prime example of unsportsman like conduct....let me know your opinion

Answer 1

plain and simple, they were Pittsburgh's bitches!!! look at all the super bowls the steel curtain won. poor little raiders had to try and resort to those tatics because they simply did not have the talent to beat the Steelers regularly.

Answer 2

You might not have liked the way the raiders played but apparently they did nothing illegal or they would have been penalized or fined. The award for the best collage receiver is the Blietnikoff award. Not the swan or stallworth award. One last thing the raiders have played in more AFL-AFC championship games than any other AFC team including the steelers. Funny even as a raider fan I like the steelers. They are a down to earth team.

Answer 3

Dear Time traveller, I don't believe that John Madden has coached the Raiders in decades so your hatred and concern about unsportsmanlike conduct is perhaps misplaced. Currently the O-Raiders are not capable of inflicting much harm on anyone. The stick-em you speak of is no longer allowed in the NFL so its rather irrelevant that they (and others ) used it in the 60's and 70's. But that was decades ago. I'd say give it up and enjoy the sport as it is in the 21st century. And that's the name of that tune.

Answer 4

They just suck at life. It's all because of Al Davis. BTW, show a little love for him, because he helped settle the new collective bargaining agreement. Still, he is an absolute MORON, and just drafts the fastest player on the board. I still find it hilarious.

With the first pick in th 2010 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders select Noel Devine, RB, Florida State Penitentary

Answer 5

very almost each and every NFL fan that may not a Raiders fan is a Raider Hater. they're traditionally a grimy team and full of themselves. they're unquestionably the worst team interior the NFL desirable now.

Answer 6

Not only were they 'Blame everyone but ourselves', but they STILL don't get what it takes to win in today's NFL. The NFL has changed to being efficient at QB, tough on defense, and field possession driven, and who did they bring in as their head coach last year - Art Shell. They said he was going to bring back 'toughness' to the Raiders. Yeah, how'd that turn out?

They get the most penalties of any team, and play sloppy ball. On top of that, they pick up stupid free agents. Desmond Howard, anyone?
They are just awful.

Answer 7

Yes they were dirty and mavericks in the old days.
Win at any cost ever heard of that.
You have a job and you want a promotion. what do you do, take advantage of a weakness.
They were America's Team at one time.
Now sorry do not meet the criteria any longer

Answer 8

Maybe you should hop on a motorcycle with Big Ben.

And I don't even like the Raiders.

Answer 9

talk about grudges. get over it man, that was over thirty years ago. maybe you're still upset about losing to the worst team in the NFL last year.

Answer 10

I hope you aren't majoring in English. Dear christ, boy.
