ISTG Being a Raiders fan is a hereditary disease. I inherited it from my father and will pass it onto my kids, but I won't pretend it's healthy lmao.

    Agreed. Last 23 years have been hard.

    Im in my thirties and my first memories of us are the Tuck Rule and losing a SB to the Buccs.

    Our highlight was that time Derek Carr almost played in a playoff game.

    I remember a handfulof quarterbacks, both drafted (Jamarcus Russell, Derek Carr, Terrelle Prior) and retread (Rich Gannon, Aiden O'Connell, Carson Palmer) and a whole lot of my dad yelling at the TV, but not a whole lot of winning.

    It has been a historically futile era for us....

    Same, I was a freshman in highschool for that super bowl. The last 24 years have had glimmers of hope, but we always find a way to fuck it up. We were looking great in HS, then they decided to trade Gruden away, and aside from that 1 super bowl, it's been just downhill ever since. Hopefully Mendoza pans out and we turn it around, but it is hard to be optimistic anymore.

    Ravens looking pretty bad. All the rumors seem to be revolving around Maxx failing his physical. Of course, he's going to fail. He just had surgery in January.

    It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

    Yeah the Ravens are looking very shady. I’m thinking they got buyer’s remorse. We’ll see if the Bears’ or Cowboys’ offers still stand.

    How do the Ravens look bad?

    And why do think anyone would really give a shit? Player deals fall apart all the time.

    The Ravens didnt do the deal because he failed the physical and meanwhile the Jets TRADE to get a player that was being cut and isn’t worth having.

    No one will give a shit about the Ravens backing out of the Crosby deal.

    Wild but also exciting for other teams. Just sayin, I feel like his personality would work well for Philly
