Never boned. Loved the teams that won with Jim Plunkett at QB. Didn't like the move to LA. Finally got used to calling them LA when they moved back. Then continued to call them LA for several more years. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on August 27, 2012, 3:37 pm - (0 votes)

The move to L.A. was the boning moment. The team had some decent seasons there (1984 Super Bowl champions) and some great players like Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson, but the team became a fan favorite of L.A.-based gangs and soon the place was too dangerous to play at. This made people stay away from the stadium and home games to be known more for knife fights and violence rather than the games. Sure, Oakland was pretty rough too, but it looked like Pleasentville in comparison. The strange thing is, even after Al Davis moved the team back to Oakland, people in L.A. still act like the Raiders are their home team. I can't tell you how many cars with Raiders bumper stickers I've seen or how sporting goods stores have Raiders gear next to Lakers, Dodgers and Trojans gear. Also, Oakland hasn't been nearly as loyal since the return and who would blame them? -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on April 27, 2011, 10:24 am - (1 votes)

I liked them in the '70s - the Madden-Stabler era. Then The Owner Who Shall Remain Nameless lost his last marble around 1980, and the Raiders have degenerated since then into a no-class franchise. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 27, 2011, 4:02 am - (0 votes)

At this point, a European with no knowledge of american football could run the Raiders better than Al Davis. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on December 24, 2009, 6:26 pm - (0 votes)

Al Davis actually died six years ago; he's just been cryogenically re-animated all this time. -- Submitted By: (ScottyB) on December 23, 2009, 10:10 pm - (0 votes)

Not that I would ever mock people who have Alzheimer's (a couple of my grandparents had it) but letting Al Davis continue to run the Raiders is just like having one of those people run the team. -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on August 17, 2009, 2:34 am - (0 votes)
