    Fuck those Raiders! I have to hate. I cannot say one good thing about the AFC west teams. I wasn't even born into the sport but I've learned to hold ardent hatred for those teams in the division of AFC West.

    And I'm a terrible fan. Always the refs fault when we lose and I don't know a clue about those other 28 teams neither. :D

    Well actually, it's not the refs fault... 5% of the time!! We have no bloody offensive line. Even Chris Collinsworth showed replays last week on how our tackle weren't even trying. I mean they were getting in the way but not using their hands or arms. Like WTF !! Right?

    But lemme tell y'all this. The advertisement breaks have to stop. This 3.5hrs needs to stop. I won't watch a live game anymore. I watched a series once. It was a fumble/challenge/overruled/play/injury/interception/challenge/end 1st QTR. 23mins to move the clock 13 seconds come on people that's pathetic. Lol.

    Dun get me wrong. Longevity is awesome provided you have enough money to buy drinks at the games but watching 4hrs of shit on TV??? Live??? No. did you know out of "60 minutes of Football" the NFL averages only 4:42seconds of actual game play? And kickoffs and punt account for a fair bit of that because the ball is in the air for so long + a runback. Lol.

    Oh Geez... I recommend bringing some type of weapon for protection If you are going to any sports bars that are hosting a Raider's playoff game.

    I'd go to a Raiders game with just a heart full of LOLz cause that's all I'd be doing when they choke. ;)

    That's true. Ever since they choked in Super Bowl against the Buccaneers. :D

    I'm waiting for them to start failing soon. I think the whole AFC West needs them to lose to the Chiefs this week. But then again if the Chiefs lose and Broncos win then we'd be 5th seed over 6th. But I can't support the Raiders or want them to win. :D

    Soccer ratings are up. Righteous! JK I don't really care. Although the football called soccer is naturally the only real football. I mean you play it with your feet right.

    They should lower the pay to 100,000 a year. That's plenty! and give the difference to the homeless and disadvantaged. That would be an interesting announcement

    Ain't no one gonna put their bodies through all that pain for 100k a year. These guys are going to have a lot of problems later in life, from all the football codes. With the vigorous training regimes etc. that's why they're paid.

    I'm not sure if they are given like insurances and everything once they retire? Like if you broke your leg twice and it's going to be a problem in the future, do the leagues offer support for that? Because all the big time defensive rule changes have been applied to the NFL because of head trauma induced in the football career that arise later in life. And for a lot, their actual playing career doesn't last too long.

    All i know is if I'm gonna have brain problems and walking problems and stuff after my playing career then I want millions of dollars to help me cope with that shit!

    But then I think i already got brain problems & sore body parts from horse falls and where's my millions of dollars!!!!!

    well, american football would be pretty awful if you couldn't use your feet. they don't contact the ball as much, but they are still a pretty integral part of the game.

    by that logic, soccer would be kickball. which is already taken by another game, that by that logic, should still be called kickball.
