For a guy who’s in the process of getting arrested for assaulting some dude, holding a gun to his head before firing off a shot next to his ear, Raiders LB Rolando McClain seems like he doesn’t have a care in the world. Expect this to be the Internet’s newest meme before noon tomorrow.
Let the photoshopping begin. Read more ›
I have to admit right from the get-go that I have been an unabashed fan of Mike Florio and his wonderful site ProFootballTalk.com for quite a few years now. I’m talking way back in the day before he made it to the big time on NBC’s Sunday Night Football and all the pomp and circumstance that goes with it.
That being said, is Florio just screwing with our heads now…right? Read more ›
No matter how prepared you think you are, every once in a while you can’t help but succumb to the pressure of a given situation. Take this ref for instance, whose feet fail him at the most inopportune moment during today’s Raiders-Jets game.
As Oakland was racing to the line of scrimmage to get a field goal attempt off in the dying seconds of the first half, our zebra here is doing a little hustling himself, trying to get the ball to the line for the Raiders attempt. Except that he has a tad bit of trouble with that basic of human functions we call walking.
Ah the hazards of bipedal transport. All we can do is follow Jets LB Calvin Pace’s lead and point and laugh.

Of all the teams, in all the sports, in all the world, why did this guy have to be a Raiders fan? Kind of seems fitting, in an all too obvious way, know what I mean.
Pictured here is 42-year-old Shawn Batie, who was recently arrested for being under the influence of methamphetamines, after cops found him standing in the dirt next to a cemetery, yelling at nothing in particular.
And if that wasn’t enough to suspect that Batie was whacked out of his gourd, get a load of his attire—Oakland Raiders jacket, g-string, and a hair scrunchie wrapped around his genitals. Ewww, that’s highly disturbing when you picture it. I mean, a Raiders jacket? Yikes.

It’s always a pleasure to see the offspring of famous people do well on their own, and Bianca Tai, daughter of Cards manager Tony LaRussa, is no exception.
In Bianca’s case, she is a dancer who had her dream come true when she was named to the 2011 Raiderettes, the Oakland Raiders cheerleading squad. Let’s just hope there a 2011 season happens so we can all enjoy Bianca in action. Read more ›
That is a picture of Oakland resident Darryl Turner’s $7500 customized Oakland Raiders prosthetic leg, which would be a pretty badass fan accessory, if it wasn’t a customized Raiders prosthetic limb. But Turner loves the Raiders, and it is his fake leg, so more power to him.
Turner lost his leg (as well as use of his left arm) in a motorcycle accident in 1985, and this past December forked over the sum of $7500 for his new one honoring his beloved Raiders. Fast forward two months later, and Turner is heartbroken after having the prosthetic limb stolen right out of his front yard.
The artificial leg was snatched from Turner’s front yard on February 12 at around 4 p.m., after he took a spin around the block on a four-wheeler he’d been tinkering with. When Turner returned, the leg was gone.
And now all Darryl Turner wants is to have his Raiders limb back on his body where it belongs. Read more ›
Well, the Raiders public relations department thought it would be a grand idea to roll out the rotting carcass of owner Al Davis for an obligatory press conference announcing Hue Johnson as Oakland’s new head coach. I want to know who the hell told that man he could smile? It’s like staring at the face of death in the form of an 81-year-old maniacal tyrant with creepy bumps all over his head.
As far as the band-aids go, I do not care to know…no I do not. Read more ›
Seems like a no-brainer right? Raiders fans, as a collective, are big, scary badasses with their spikes and skulls and overall frightening demeanor, while Chargers fans, if these guys are any indication, are polo shirt and khaki shorts wearing guys named Thad. Read more ›
Ah yes, I look back fondly at those halcyon days when JaMarcus Russell was still in the NFL, flaming out before our very eyes. The hype, the weight issues, the arrest for Purple Drank—Russell was the black Ryan Leaf.
And I loved him for it.
But after the Raiders mercifully cut his fat ass this offseason, it’s kind of sad not having JaMarcus around. Having not heard hide nor hair from him for awhile, lo and behold, the former No.1 overall draft pick resurfaced for an interview with Inside the NFL.
Sufficed to say, Russell’s answers are unintentionally hilarious, especially when asked where it all went wrong.
“I’m not sure,” Russell said. “I don’t know where it went wrong. But for the things that did go wrong, I take full blame for whatever was my fault and the things that did happen. Being drafted number one, there’s so much that they want you to do at the snap of a finger. It didn’t happen that way, which brings us to today.”
Oh snap, he went there…he actually went there. Really JaMarcus? You really don’t know where it went wrong? Do you need a flowchart or something, because it’s pretty obvious to anyone who watched you over those three miserable years in Oakland.
What may be even funnier is that JaMarcus still thinks he can make a triumphant return to the NFL, a most preposterous notion if there ever was one. Just going by the fact that Russell is so clueless as to what went wrong the first time around, I don’t see that happening anytime soon…or ever.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of this little kid totally losing his shit after the Raiders upset his San Diego Chargers. Part of me thinks it’s funny to see him carry on like this over a football game, while part of me thinks it’s a bit unsettling for someone so young to be so emotionally invested in a sports team.
When I first saw the little guy wailing like that, I just assumed his sadistic parents told him that if the Raiders win, Al Davis will sneak into his room at night and steal his blood, teeth and hair.
Either that or he was doing his best Philip Rivers impersonation. And if that’s the case, then guess what kid…nailed it!
Whatever the reason behind the outburst, just know this—the kid hates the Raiders. And football.
Video after the jump…
If he acts like this now over a blessed football game, just wait until he’s older and loses at life. You know those people who get fired and end up shooting their former place of business—this is them at 8-years-old.
