Since then I went to a few more.

See the tickets that say Suite L42? That was Al's box. I never SAT in his suite mind you but those are the tix I used to get in to the building

That 1995 ticket vs Rams was the first preseason game back in Oakland, post-LA.

I was also born in Oakland ... 364 days after Kamala.

Interestingly, my dad (who grew up in Oakland and was a Teamster there) passed away ... on 10/8/2019.

But Al Davis had passed away on 10/8/2011 ... which was the exact day I got married the one and only time in my life.

So yeah ... Raider fan

I'd take OBJ right now, hell freaking yeah

Oh, that guarantees OBJ won't be coming back to the Rams. brush Dec 2022 #1

I don't think OBJ wanted back there given the season is shot for the Rams Hugh_Lebowski Dec 2022 #3

I thought maybe TB Bucs might go after OBJ Diamond_Dog Dec 2022 #4

I thought of Bucs but with Evans and Godwin healthy I wasn't seeing it Hugh_Lebowski Dec 2022 #8

What's this, you're Raider fan too? Just think of OBJ joining Adams... brush Dec 2022 #10

Is their backup QB not doing too well? Diamond_Dog Dec 2022 #5

The Rams are thinking Sean McVay can fix Mayfield. I wouldn't bet against it, either. Auggie Dec 2022 #6

Well, McVay did something right with Mayfield Best_man23 Dec 2022 #14
