Al Davis, Another Day, Another Dollar, But No More Dips in The Data

ADAD is an acronyn that stands for several things. Let's look at ADADAD, making a creative reference to Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders who experienced a big dip in the data from 2002 to 2003.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that something needs to be fixed in the Oakland Raiders' franchise. A big dip in data occurred from 2002 to 2003. Oakland had 146 points above their opponents in 2002. In 2003, the data took a "big dip" down to -109.

The distance between +146 and -109 is simply 146 added to 109 which equals 255 points. That's a large distance, representing a nose dive to low levels of efficiency in the Oakland Raiders since 2002.

Since 2003, opponents have scored more than the Oakland Raiders consistently, reaching an all- time low of -182 points in 2009.

It is time for a change, and the choices made during the draft just might help turn things around from negatives to positives.

So, it's more at stake than just "another day, another dollar," it's time for a drastic change to stop the "big dipper" dips in data. It's time to move on up to positive numbers to measure the total number of points during a season.

This is a perfect time to look at the year-to-year data. The choices made during this time of year are going to impact the results of the 2010 season.

A sonorous slogan is "Al Davis, Another Day, Another Dollar, but no more dips in the data."

Go Oakland Raiders!
