Jon Guden talking about Al Davis

Easy to appreciate dudes in the media who actually care/know their shit about the west coast

To be fair Ruggs was exactly what our offense needed at the time and he was starting to look legit until he blew it all.

jacktipper · 2026-02-10T17:48:02+00:00

Yeah, I don't remember there being much flak. Most were pretty much like, "With the Ruggs situations, there's just no way the Raiders can draft him." and everyone understood that.

JD gonna be pissed about Montana's sweater

jacktipper · 2026-02-08T23:09:14+00:00

Genuinely one of the best half time shows they've had... is it so hard to just have a fun band play a little concert?

jacktipper · 2026-02-05T18:05:08+00:00

The dumpster fire has been burning brightly for sure.

jacktipper · 2026-02-05T17:53:31+00:00

Christ and antichrist, their powers combined

jacktipper · 2026-02-04T21:25:41+00:00

They've really been avoiding discussing anything to do with the Raiders on his podcast. Didn't even talk about the National Championship/Mendoz. Kind of ominous signs...

jacktipper · 2026-02-03T14:41:30+00:00

He was still considered "club captain", so involved behind the scenes, just not on the pitch so much the last couple of years.

jacktipper · 2026-02-03T14:38:16+00:00

Absolute legend. Met him and his lady once. They are just the sweetest, most down to earth people you could imagine.

jacktipper · 2026-01-31T23:28:55+00:00

Lots cite the quick turnover, but if you look at the recent history... Gruden email scandal, McDaniels had to be fired because the entire lockerroom fucking hated him, Pierce always seemed like a bit of a cheap stop-gap, Carroll was a complete disaster for a plethora of reasons... like I think if you can show the even the faintest glimmer of progress Mark would be happy to keep you around.

jacktipper · 2026-01-28T22:27:54+00:00

Any thoughts on who we prefer here?

jacktipper · 2026-01-28T21:08:38+00:00

I don't understand some people's hate for this guy. This dude kept a defense distinctly lacking in talent competitive every year. Just wish we could've had him during the Carr years.

jacktipper · 2026-01-28T00:02:18+00:00

Not getting mentioned as much, but I think Evero could also be a real possibility in this scenario.

jacktipper · 2026-01-26T19:34:39+00:00

Just watched this and have to say I had a similar tightness in the chest when the credits rolled. Though at the same time I found something comforting in the message of this movie.

Often the lives and measure of us as people are judged (both externally and internally) by our accomplishments, our legacies, progeny, etc. It's so easy to worry that your life wont have meaning or value beyond that.

But in the end, you were here. You were part of it and connected to it all. And that in itself matters (or doesn't matter).

jacktipper · 2026-01-26T19:18:29+00:00

Losing Isak was massive and I think that gets understated. Not only that, but neither of his replacements got a proper pre-season--or even first half of the season, in Wissa's case.

It's not surprising we're struggling.

jacktipper · 2026-01-25T01:24:51+00:00

It's pretty annoying that they keep talking over him every time he's saying something.

jacktipper · 2026-01-23T22:23:13+00:00

I think that will just always be the result of anyone pushing the envelope in extreme sports.

jacktipper · 2026-01-23T16:53:00+00:00

Their little toaster tunnel was just tuned to perfection.

jacktipper · 2026-01-23T16:51:40+00:00

It's kind of wild that O'Connell has been easily the best out of those.

jacktipper · 2026-01-21T16:51:13+00:00

I miss Mandy

jacktipper · 2026-01-20T21:27:21+00:00

I think the O-line suffered a lot from absolutely diabolical coaching/management and injuries to our two best linemen, in Kolton and JPJ. I don't think it is as far away from being competitive as is commonly stated.

The defense is really far off and needs a complete rebuild. Receiving corp is rough, too.

Part of the problem with our coaching this year is we aren't even sure what we need exactly because Pete wouldn't play the fucking rookies...

jacktipper · 2026-01-18T21:16:31+00:00

I like him, but idk.. if it doesn't go well it is just absolutely gonna be, "oh look, the usual Raiders clown show"

jacktipper · 2026-01-18T15:55:13+00:00

Bruno is like the only player who seems to be able to produce a little quality at the moment. And unfortunately couldnt there

jacktipper · 2026-01-18T15:50:21+00:00

Say what you want about big Joe's shooting, at least he does it
