Al,
I am a long time Raider fan. I have also been a loyal Raider fan, except when Jay Schroeder was our quarterback. I mean, come on, what was that about. Twenty-two interceptions in one season doesn’t exactly fit the “commitment to excellence” motto. I realize you are a busy man so I will get to why I sent you this postcard. I am tired of us losing. Watching the first three games this year I think I have pinpointed the cause of our recent futility. We’ve lost our swagger. We just aren’t getting the mileage out of our penalties anymore. If we’re going to get penalized 15 yards, it needs to be in the form of a personal foul, not some combination of offsides or false starts. When a player gets ejected before the game even starts, that player better be a Raider. If I wanted to see a bunch of panty waists playing the right way I’d be a Patriots fan. One last thing, please have somebody tell Kerry Collins that football is fun. Instead of giving him Gatorade on the sideline, he needs to be hooked up to a prozac drip.
