Oakland Raiders News: I Am Thankful For The Raider Nation

With Thanksgiving upon us, I have stopped to reflect on all of the things that I am Thankful for.

I am thankful that my three children, wife and I are happy and healthy.

I am thankful that I have a job that allows me to jibber jabber about the Raiders and still keep the lights and water on.

And also at the top, I am thankful for Tyler Blezinski giving me the opportunity to start this community three seasons ago.

Though these have been three of the most painful seasons for any Raider fan to live through, we have developed quite a strong base of dedicated fans that use this site to discuss the games as they are being played and celebrate when our team is victorious, or has been more the case, to let it fly when they lose.

We've been through three drafts and I think we did better than the "pros" at drafting or slotting the players that should be here.

I am thankful that Marquez67 has joined me in this endeavor and I look forward to adding even more editors as the site grows.

Then there are my boyz and galz in the parking lot that have made EVERY game worth going to.

Chewbacca, Raider Rob, Fred, Eric, Cassandra, Raider Bob and the entire inside and out crews always have something grilling or a smile and hug for fellow fans of the Silver and Black.

You see, the Raider Nation is a family...Complete with the crotchety old grandpa...Bacon!!!!

Much Love Nation, and Thanks for making this place special.

I Have To Say

From all the sites I am a member of, this one has the most passionate and loyal fans of all. This is by far my favorite one also.

A day late and a dollar (or so) short

I hope all you had a great Thanksgiving. Now, let’s crush the Chiefs on Sunday!

I’m thankful for my dad. Were it not for him, I might not be a Raider fan. {shudders}

Thanks to saint for making me a part of his team. I hope I do you proud.

I'm here to talk about the past.

I'm thankful for all of you on here

I always get a good laugh outta some of the stuff on here and have fun debating with you all. One of the best things about this place is talking smack with the random Bronco fan (cough Zappa) It’s weird no Chiefs or Chargers come on here. I’m thankful for the Raiders and what has become my family on here.

For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, 'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.' Such is the rule of honor." Omerta by Lamb of God
