Al's Wingman's Bio

The reason for this blog is I was an Oakland Raiders season ticket holder for several years and felt the need to share my opinion publicly. I'm tired of the franchise crashing and burning in slow motion NFL Films style. Maybe I can't stop it but I will call attention to who is causing it and offer some ironic hope where I can with my own ideas, humor and whatever else.

Bottom line is change must happen so while we wait for Undead Al to go away (at least in theory he should be gone eventually) we'll have fun along the way slamming the embarrasing facade that has become the Oakland Raiders franchise - a once proud franchise that is now a laughing stock to all but those who have no clue.

I have no connection whatsoever to the Oakland Raiders organization, any of their booster clubs, former players, insiders or media. Everything I write about here is inspired by something either in the public domain or the history of football.

I suggest that you change your name from Al Wingman's because clearly you have decided to stop being his "wingman."

Do the Raiders have enough in them to salvage the season and can they break the 12 game losing streak to AFC West rival San Diego?
