Top Ten Reasons to be an Oakland Raiders Fan

By Michael Abromowitz, 9/28/06

Okay, I have sympathy for you Raider fans out there.  It is going to be a tough, long season for you.  But, I have decided to be an optimist.  I present my top ten reasons to be an Oakland Raiders fan.

10.  You can save money by booking that cruise vacation in January now, instead of waiting to see if your team makes the playoffs.

9.  You are most likely an Oakland A’s fan, so you are probably pumped about the playoffs!

8.  You probably live in the Northern California area, which is right near wine country. Maybe this Sunday, take a drive up to the closest vineyard; it is not like you have a game to watch.

7.  With a high probability of having a top three pick, makes the college game more exciting.  Is Brady Quinn the answer?

6.  No one picks on you for wearing that Randy Moss jersey because it is Randy Moss.  That #18 Moss jersey, pretty cool no matter how bad the Raiders are.

5.  Halloween is coming up and you already have your costume.

4.  If Jerry Porter does not even watch the game, why should you have to?  Do something else with your time.  Maybe learn your wife and children's names.

3.  The quarterback mess gives you hope that you could start for the Raiders.

2.   You always have the excuse, “We have already won 3 Super Bowls, I can’t be too spoiled.  By the way Minnesota, how many rings do you have?"

1.  Never a dull moment with Al Davis.  Who will he sign next?  Tim Couch, I hear your phone ringing.
