This is obviously a very short list, but it would take the rest of my natural life to divulge all of the reasons why the Raiders suck. Here are the Top 10.

10. The Raiders have the 2nd highest number of criminal incidents in the NFL at their games behind the Philadelphia Eagles.

9. They play in Oakland, which is like pork: "The other city by the Bay".

8. In the rare instance that they win a big game, their fans always riot.

7. Their fans are comprised mostly of criminals and low-lifes. Hell, Darth Vader is even known to make regular appearances at McAfee Coliseum.

6. They are the most penalized team in the NFL each season.

5. The vast majority of their players belong inside the walls of San Quentin Prison rather than on a football field.

4. The NFL has to make numerous new rules each year because of the Raiders' unsportsmanlike conduct.

3. I've seen two people steal from a local sports store, and both times, it was Raiders clothing.

2. The player with the lowest IQ ever in the NFL was a member of the Oakland Raiders.

On a positive note, they've got the coolest team logo in the league.

But I would have to list at least 50 positives to overcome Al The Rat.

Good blog actually! Even though Al has won them the Championship a few times he doesn't know how to draft players!

September 13, 2008  01:40 PM ET

Haha. This was funny.

I'll be waiting, Thugmeister. I'll be waiting.

Funny blog. And I was going to ask the same question. Just win, baby.

Doesn't seem to do to well with coaches either.....

I did like Stabler back in the day. Marcus Allen too.

This idiot just showed how little he knows about football or the raiders. The guy that wrote this blog looks like an inbred caveman. Make any Geico commercials lately? For all his talk about the raiders sucking, we still have more trophies than your team. What does that say for you guys. Its funny how all the people who talk trash about how bad our organization is, we usually have more rings than they do. Maby all these haters need to become men and quit crying, or they at least need to run to mommy and have her change their diapers.

Al Davis. LOL

That's a little tongue-in-cheek. There have been a number of people that have scored a 4 on the Wonderlic Personnel Test, given by the NFL at the annual Scouting Combine. I would imagine that there has been one for every team. For example, former Bronco Neil Smith, who also played for the Chiefs and the Chargers, scored a 4, but he was dyslexic. So, in a way, it's true. It's mostly just a joke, though. (It has been rumored that somebody actually scored a 1, but it has never been confirmed.)

Hey, ****the haters, before you make any more comments about what Mr. Nelson knows or doesn't know about football why don't you take the time to check out his other blogs. Lighten up and get a sense of humor about your team, they're not your life - or shouldn't be. Sheesh....

September 17, 2008  12:39 PM ET

Other than Tommy Kelly and Fabian Washington last year, we have no criminals on our team. Our fans are not criminals and low-lifes. I don't recall any rules being changed because of our players. I recall a rule that should've been changed because of what it cost our team. Don't have much more to argue about after that, though......I've always loved Al, but right now, what's going on with Kiffin, I've about had it.

September 17, 2008  12:39 PM ET

Oh, and Haters.....I think that's Chuck Norris.....

September 17, 2008  12:42 PM ET

My mistake....Willie Nelson.....makes sense.....

September 17, 2008  12:43 PM ET

And Nelson, although you make some good points, a team with Brandon Marshall should not be calling out other teams for harbouring criminals.....Travis Henry....Romanowski (although he played for us, too)

September 17, 2008  10:10 PM ET

3rd number of criminal incidents behind Giants by the way.
Haven't been the most penalized in 2 years, they would have to play hard and stupid to obtain that, they just play stupid not hard (D'Angelo Hall).
I thought the person with the lowest IQ ever in the NFL was Jim McMahon? Did we sign him too last year for the one day contract with Jeff George? Bears spelling crew? Spelling it on down for you.

September 17, 2008  10:15 PM ET

Oh and please don't pick on Willie, I want him to sell me some weed.....
