In the wake of the Raiders' 20-0 shutout loss to the St. Louis Rams, here is a video interview of Al Davis: (click here)

"We'll get it straightened out," Davis said. "You can bet on that, (heck) yes. We've got things to do, and it's gonna be big, but we'll get it done. I want to win and I will win and we will win for the Raiders."


George "Run Run" Jones - R.I.P. (1929-2006)
The Raiders lost a valued and dear member of the family when George "Run Run" Jones passed away on Saturday at the age of 77. "Run Run" served as a spirited Raiders clubhouse assistant spanning 5 decades.

That .238 winning percentage over the past 4 years turns my stomach. We've gone from the best WP in all of sports to this.

Calico, if I'm not mistaken, you contributed to raiderworld.net. if so, do you have any idea if that site is only temporarily down or down for good. I know the main administrator(lordraider) tragically died in an accident.But it sounded as if there were others willing to step-up and continue the site. Any info you have, I would appreciate.

Thank you,

Back In Black - I don't know what happened to the Raider World site. The last I heard was that Assasin and/or Raiderman were going to take it over. I have moved on to Raiderfans.net to get my forum fix.
