Will the Real Raider Nation Please Stand Up???

OK, there are a few reasons why I decided to step up and write my first article about my beloved silver and black. The main reason is that I am sick of all these so-called Raider fans talking sh**. Everyday, I go to a few different Web sites and check and see what my Raiders are up to, which no matter how hard I try or how far I look, I never truly will know whats going on with them.
But I try anyway. Lately, I have been seeing a lot of stuff that is really pissing me off. I am seeing a lot of my fellow Raider fans just trashing the organization and saying how it’s going downhill and how crappy the moves we are making are.
It’s really getting to me, because if you are a true fan, you always back up your team, no matter what. Raiders fans are known to not give a fu** what people think; we love our team, no matter what, we are supposed to be the most dedicated fans in the world, and now I’m seeing a bunch of you talking crap, and it’s a disgrace.
I am used to seeing a few so-called fans trashing us about letting players go (like Wilson and Hall) and people saying how crazy Al is getting; the man knows football and knows what he is doing. And this sh*t its really getting out of hand.
What really put me over the edge is how much I’ve been hearing about Crabtree. I’m getting tired of everyone running their mouth about how we passed up on him. We made our move on Heyward-Bey, and I am damn proud of it. He’s a damn good receiver, and it’s gonna show during the regular season. And all the crap people are saying about Mike Mitchell is ridiculous: this kid runs a 4.43 and hits like a train and is perfect Raiders material. Have any of you heard of Jack Tatum? Because that’s exactly who comes to mind when I watched this kid’s highlights. He’s gonna make people scared to catch passes around him.
We’ve made a lot of great moves lately, especially picking up Louis Murphy in round four, and signing Frantz Joseph. But I could go on for days; I just needed to blow off some steam.
Let me know what you think about my piece, and please let me hear back from some true Raider fans. And by “true,” I mean the ones who back up the nation 100 percent through everything, not these kids that just like to call themselves fans of the silver and black.
