How embarrassing it must be to be a Raiders fan

[Apoc13]

In an effort to generate more revenue for the city, county and I'd assume the two teams involved, the folks in charge of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (the artist formerly known as McAfee Coliseum, even more previously known as Network Associates Coliseum) have apparently come to terms with Overstock.com to rename the stadium Overstock.com Coliseum. The deal is worth $7.2 million over the course of six years.



Overstock boasts that it offers "a wide variety of high-quality, brand-name merchandise at discount prices." That's a good fit with the Raiders, who offer a wide variety of low-quality play at high-end prices.

I thought I was embarrassed by JaWalrus' passing....... Oh jesus. I seriously don't k ow why Im still a fan......

 

[MBG1977]

It hurts but you get used to it.

 

[chacha15]

Yo but that chick from the overstock dotcom commercials was a cutie.

Every stadium has marketing, dont really know why this was even brought up?!?!? Just some more fools who cant root for their own team and want to hate on the raiders.

I don't really think you can classify what people feel towards the Raiders as "hate". I believe correct terms could be indifference, pity and/or disgust. They are far too insignificant for anyone to hate.

not as embarrassing as 59-14 at Invesco /thread

The Raiders are one of the oldest teams around, so there is more deeply rooted "hate" than maybe you know of. And as far as pity I dont think people who pity someone or something try to crack dumbass jokes about them.......Oh yeah ask the chiefs, chargers and broncos about us being insignificant.

I was born over there so that was the best win in a long time for me!!

Yeah, but the Raiders have Superbowl Rings unlike that team from Philly. Ask **** Vermeil he will tell you.

Im a Raider fan but I lol'd at the last part The Raiders will return to the land of relavancy when they kick the image of being a place no one wants to go play i.e. when Al Davis or anyone remotely associated with him has nothing to do with the team.

While the Browns suck, they haven't sold out... yet. Are there any other teams that use the team name as the stadium name? I can't think of any off the top of my head...

 

[second2noone]

Perfect stadium name. Overstock with sorry high priced players.

 

[njarcher21]

And you don't have any rings either...but why you mad tho?

you couldn't even find a real ****ing picture?

 

[njarcher21]

Arrowhead Stadium is named in reference of the Chiefs...

 

[yeff24]

Cant blame them...Davis needs the money so he can over pay for his talent like always...how do you think he could sign Jawalrus to a contract like that...now take that 7.2 and give it to Namdi or zach miller

 

[yeff24]

Also for those who mention Cowboys stadium..From what I have read uncle Jerry is looking for someone to sponsor the field but no one wants to cough up the price...same with the new meadowlands

the giants and jets still play at the "new meadowlands stadium." not out of principle, they just haven't found any takers, presumably b/c the asking price is too high. for some reason, columbia/sony hasn't ponied up the money to name it "Columbia Records/Bruce Springsteen Stadium" which is the obvious choice.

 

[Jobu]

g'damn, I wish we had something like Cowboy's Stadium here in LA.


I've been to Cowboy's Stadium, and it's one of the most kick ass things ever created by man. Absolutely freakin' kick assery at its finest.

PSI net was pretty bad. The company was defunct and the stadium carried the name for another season.

 

[chinny12]

I forgot about the Cowboys Mecca. I would love to see that place, one day. I'm not ponying up $500 for 2 "decent" tickets though.

 

[MBG1977]

However the raiders have still played in more superbowls than the cowfags the last 10 years

 

[Gateway Man]

I am just saying you young guys have watched football for five years and you think you are know it all experts. You call teams like the redskins and raiders things like a joke, irrelevant, etc. And these teams have a legacy of winning superbowls and such.. Just stating the facts

 

[dychen]

Jesus $7.2 million over 6 years?

The AZ Cardinals got $154.5 million over 20 years for University of Phoenix Stadium.

If you are going to sell out at least make it worthwhile.

You're right...young guys like me are mistaken when we consider the current Raiders organization a joke. It was only just yesterday in 1984 when they won their most recent Super Bowl as well so yeah, that's still relevant.

Well this was the first time you used the word current. So with this line of thinking, this would mean the Eagles have never been relevant because they never won a super bowl?

 

[eddiecut]

there are a lot more stadiums out there that are sponsored by a company then just a "few"....

You live in Ft. Worth and hate the Cowboys? Does your house get firebombed regularly?
