Al, put down the franchise before you hurt someone.

There is no denying the success Al Davis had with the Oakland Raiders, three Super Bowls and the highest winning percentage of any team in professional sports from 1963-2005 with a .602 winning percentage. However those days have long since passed and the Raiders have become one of the most dysfunctional teams in professional sports. From a plethora of wasted 1st round draft picks (2006 #7 Michael Huff, 2005 #23 Fabian Washington, 2004 #2 Robert Gallery, 2003 #32 Tyler Brayton, 2002 #17 Phillip Buchanon, 2002 #23 Napoleon Harris, 2001 #28 Derrick Gibson ), to head coach Tom Cable taking swings at his colleagues in the dressing room. The Raiders have had a losing record in each of the last six seasons, Al Davis making questionable decisions every step of the way.
In 2008 Davis traded the Raiders’ 1st round pick in that years draft and a 5th round pick in 2009 for cornerback Deangelo Hall. After signing Hall to a $70 million contract, Davis cut Hall after eight games. In the same off season the Raiders signed a player in Javon Walker coming off knee surgery, the third of his career, to a $55 million contract. Walker missed most of the 2008 season with, you guessed it, a knee injury. In 2007, Davis continued on his path of Destruction by trading future hall of famer Randy Moss to the juggernaut New England Patriots for a 4th round pick in one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history. In the latest baffling move by Al Davis, the Raiders traded their 1st round pick in 2011 to the same New England Patriots for veteran linebacker Richard Seymour. If we hadn’t already come to expect this kind of tomfoolery from the Raiders we might have suspected them of collusion. Someone needs to step in and take Al Davis away from the front desk.
Al, did you really believe your team was one aging linebacker in the last year of his contract away from being a winning team? The Raiders giving their 1st round pick to the Patriots is like Davis handing over his slingshot to Goliath. Al Davis was at one time a great barber. He owned his own shop and was greatly respected. Now his colleagues are watching as Davis is drawing blood from the head of the Raiders. Richard Seymour stood outside the shop for days for fear of being scalped himself before reluctantly entering. Someone needs to take the clippers out of Al Davis’ hands because I am sick of having to look at those bad haircuts.
