On Tuesday night, after the Raiders had been in Tampa for only one day, they were ready... Alzado...

"I want to play right now. I read one paper that said I couldn't handle Joe Jacoby. I don't want to hear his name. I can't stand to hear it. I want to go out and play, now, right now; I want to settle this thing."

Good stuff MM. I like the Barrett Robbins quote on Gannon. Too bad he lost control of his bipolar issue. We haven't had a legit replacement for him yet(which is probally in direction relation to the O-line troubles we've had the last 3 years). I hope that changes this year.
 
"I was really being a jerk on the sidelines to the coaches, I was being un-Tim Brown like. Sometimes you've got a funny way of being brought down to earth. God don't like ugly."

Tim Brown...
 
Sapp on the chances of him giving NASCAR a try...

“It would take an act of God [to get me into a stock car]. Let me clarify that, it would take a physical act of God. It's too fast and the wall is too hard. I like quarterbacks that are nice, soft and cushy.”

Frank Middleton, one of the Raiders most critical of teammate Barret Robbins after the All-Pro center went AWOL before the Super Bowl, on Robbins’ attempt to mend fences with the team...

“We're working together as a family to get past this. He apologized to the team. That's all we can ask for. Once we start playing, this all is going to get behind us. The guy went through a little problem and paid the price. I can't be harder than the judge. You steal a couple times and get three strikes. I'm giving the man three strikes. ... I can forgive. I'm a big enough man to forgive.”

Jerry Porter on the Tampa Bay secondary, which he is convinced is not any good....


"Let me tell you, if Ronde Barber had to cover all day, he'd be living with his brother (Tiki)."

Middleton on why he thinks C Barret Robbins, who missed Sunday’s Super Bowl after being kicked off the team for missing a team meeting and a pregame walk-through, wasn’t benched earlier in the season by head coach Callahan...

“(Robbins makes) too much money. He made the Pro Bowl because he played with four other great offensive linemen.”

Tim Brown on dropping a pass with 3:06 left that would’ve sealed the win in our 28-18 victory over Minnesota that gave the Vikings their fourth consecutive loss...

“I was really being a jerk on the sidelines to the coaches. I was being un-Tim Brown like. Sometimes you've got a funny way of being brought down to earth. God don't like ugly.”

Sapp (with Tampa Bay), who is acting as a mentor of sorts to rookie Jets DT Dewayne Robertson, on the importance of having a veteran to learn from....

“I remember when I first got into this league, nobody reached to me. So when I got good, I didn't reach back. But now I understand. … I'm teaching and sharing my game, so I'm leaving something. I'm going to leave this game one day, and I want to leave it in good hands with some people I can watch and talk about.”

Gannon on the decision to sign former Collins during the offseason....

“I don’t know what people think, but I do have some intelligence. You know, I am 38 years old. I think that they looked at what happened a year ago when I did get hurt and they probably felt like they needed to continue to try and improve (the QB) position. And, so, (the signing) made a lot of sense to me. It didn’t surprise me at all.”

Callahan on his decision to suspend LB Bill Romanowski after he pummeled teammate Marcus Williams in practice....

“It doesn't matter who it is. When it gets to that severity, I'm going to level a discipline. It goes beyond the game. Once it's beyond the respect and dignity of a player, it's a tragedy.”

AP if you can direct me to any more audio or video featuring the late great Bill King it would be appreciated.

~CB
 
I think I finally found 'em....

Part I

Part II

Part III

Part IV

KNBR's tribute to Bill King. I'm pretty sure AP posted these in the past but I counld't locate them. But anyway, with football approaching it is nice to listen to the great Bill King calling games for the Raiders.
 
Bob Golic...

If you're mad at your kid, you can either raise him to be a nose tackle or send him out to play on the freeway. It's about the same.

Oh that one is perfect.

The current squad needs to take on that type of attitude.,
 
Lester Hayes....

In the days of old when Charlie Sumner became our defensive coordinator in 1979, my life changed. The defensive tactics changed, allowing my confidence level to increase to the tenth power. The most important factor in the National Football League on the football battlefield is confidence and the need to trust your leader. The trust level was intensified upon the arrival of Coach Sumner. When a player trusts and loves his leader 110% from a defensive standpoint, they will do anything – if we had to, we would walk through a round of pitbulls wearing pork chop underwear. That is love. And we believed that we would not be bitten.

Clem Daniels and the 1967 Super Bowl....

We lost the game, that part hurt. The funny part is that I broke my leg in Week 10 and didn’t play in the Super Bowl. I still tell people if I had been in that game (Super Bowl II), we would have kicked their butts.
