Look, I dont think your accurate about one thing:

WRONG -- 'Cause Ive said, this Sarkisian potential hiring may be the one I've been the happiest with since Gruden. Heck, I questioned Cally, he led us to a Bowl...fine! But, I wasnt enamored completely with Turner or Shell. If Sarkisian is at the helm of this ship -- I'll be a happy camper!

As for this...

With all due respect -- THATS IRRELEVANT!!!
I guess the only media that is 'stupid' is the one we perceive to be as 'stupid' when they write an unfavorable article or that doesnt kiss our butt when we want. Or, the same one we get all giddy about when they write about how good we are, or any other good stuff we like...

Is that the same media that the Raider fans have built a schtick about, how they LOVE to hate the Raiders...

Crazy, like Ive said before -- its ok when the Bengals and Cardinals are dumped on by that same 'stupid' media. We all yucked it up for years when Cincy was a laughinstock and when they said..."Cincy is officially on the clock for the 1st pick...", after their week-1 defeats. Turn the tables around, "Oh NO THEY DIDNT....."

It gets old, really.

No coach who comes in here, will have a set of goals to align the media to what us fans perceive should be, in terms of their angles or reporting...thats nuts!


In closing, I really enjoyed your post -- Good to see differing opinions!

you and i both know that the media in general adds "color" to the articles and opinions, over the airwaves and newspapers. most of the media will not be nice to a head coach of the raiders therefore the man who takes the job will have to deal with the media's attack on him. thickskin.
