"I don't dislike the Raiders. It's just that ... how can I put this? It's like having a son you were once very proud of. A little rough at times, but he struggled and achieved and overcame a lot. Many people were against him. And then he just gave up. You look at him and you see a slouching person, nearing middle age, hair thinning, cigarette smoke staining his fingers, talking out of the side of his mouth, continually lying. Is this really your son? Well, yeah, and you still love him underneath it all. You just don't enjoy being around him.''-- Paul Zimmerman in his SI.com column last week, responding to a reader who accused him of not liking the Oakland Raiders.

Gawd. That hurt. Too close to home, my friends...Too close to home.
 
From prom queen to crack whore. Damn shame.
 
Dr. Z is a douchebag.....Let the guy write a column, allow him to vote for the HOF is a damn shame.

Wow, I really disagree with that. Dr. Z knows his stuff. He gets stuff wrong ("Randy Moss won't be able to handle press coverage"), but he watches a lot of football, and more importantly, admits when he doesn't know something.
 
I fuckin hate Zimmerman too.

Raider hatin peice of shit.

Sounds like something Natty's pops would have said....


Can't complain too much... we've certainly earned all the criticism hurled our way the past few years... We've been our own worst enemy as far as providing fodder for the "Raider haters"...

We've got a very good dynamic young coach leading us (IMO anyways)...
A talented young defense led by a good, albeit ragged looking coach...

We're just adequate O-line play and a QB away from being spongeworthy again IMO... We're on our way out of the post '02 funk... I can feel it...

Dr. Z actually is my father. I'm just like him except I'm taller, smarter, better looking, and actually have a visually identifiable set of balls. Pops hasn't been the same since the ill-fated female love tunnel surgery and botched labia transplant.

But, like I tell him, just as long as he keeps sending me checks in the mail I don't care what he says about me... that grizzled tranny bitch.
 
Natty, have we NOT outgrown the notion that accusing someone of having female genitalia is somehow talking trash?

Oh, wait. I read the Little Al trash talking thread.

SO sophomoric. I thought you guys could do better than that.
 
Dr.Z can go blow a sweaty pole. How man teams have never even lifted up 1 Lombardi trophy let alone three. How many teams have still never been to the fucking superbowl? The Chargers have never won a superbowl and just hired Norv Turner. Fuck this guy. We were the last team in the AFC west to be in a superbowl, and we recently had the MVP of the NFL running our #1 offense. His magazine isnt worth wiping my ass with anyway, just like his commentary. I cant wait until we turn this shit around so I can read all these asswipes praising Al Davis and the organization. The flavor of the week journalism that allows these guys to be the most opinionated people alive one week and then changing their whole stance after a couple of wins is laughable mayne.

Al Davis = Legandary and Immortal football god (prolly literally too)with extreme significance to the game.

Hack Reporters = a dime a 1,000 dozen, bumps in the road on the way to greatness for Al Davis. No historic significance, forgotten shortly before or after death.
 
For the record, I dig Dr. Z. I also happen to agree with him in this case. The season past left a horrible taste in...NEVERMIND.

If I'm a pretty good Raiders' fan by anybody's standards, and I'm having an incredibly hard time mustering up enthusiasm for camp, let alone the draft, then I suppose his statement about not wanting to hang out with him is pretty spot on.

not all of it, but was i supposed to keep reading it if i wasn't impressed and would i try to read more when he just admitted that its based on a slight towards my team? :confused:

We can relate to his analogy, but how relevant was it to the question the fan posed?

I suppose his answer pre-supposed that the reader would understand that he doesn't hate the Raiders; It just pains him to see what a sad excuse for a ball team they've become.

Dirtbag Dr.Z piece of shit.

I agree... As long as he's writing and not on TV, I don't mind him... He sucked as the TV draft expert though... Kiper is great in comparison...

Christ... rub some dirt on it and get back in the game already dammit... :mad:
 
You bunch of Raider hatin', tampon wearing, pussies.

What happened to the: 'Your either with us or against us' attitude?

We're the damn Raiders, after all. The big, bad, nasty, Silver and Black!
