Rocky Horror Raiders Fans


Oakland Raider fans always look like they’re going on a casting call for Rocky Horror Picture Show—no costume’s too garish, too bizarre, as long as it can be done in black and silver, maybe with a skull motif worked in.  Whatever gets you through the day, I guess.

Raiders’ fans are like A’s fans in thinking—or deluding themselves—that their team is touched by their quirky displays of loyalty at the Oakland Coliseum.  Sorry, but they’re not.  If either team could get the sweetheart deal they dream of, they’d beat out of town without so much as a “Thanks, been nice to know ’ya.”  The Raiders are 9-2 after a 35-32 win over Carolina at home yesterday, good for first in the AFC West.  Oh, how the Rocky Horror faithful urged their team on, D-Fence and all that.  Do you think owner Mark Davis cared in the least?

I bet Davis would take five straight losses if it guaranteed a Raiders’ move to Las Vegas.  Any takers?
