If The Raiders Win Their Suit Against JaMarcus Russell, How Do We, "The Fans", Get Our Money Back?

I suppose they will say something along the lines of it going back into player development or whatever, but I seriously doubt it would effect the fan’s wallet or experience one bit.

people who bought tickets still got to go to the games i don’t see any basis for any claim by the fans. I personally would prefer the money be re-invested in the team anyway, i didn’t buy anything on the condition that JaMarcus has to try hard if any ‘refund’ is given then by that logic we should have been getting free Raider stuff for the last 7 years!.

directly. But in the bigger scheme of things, the money will get reinvested into signing good players and maybe upgrading (or go into the new one) stadium. So we would benefit, but not in any direct way.

JOIN THE NINERSNATION HAHAH

this is pleasing to see do to the fact that 90% of raider fans in the world are douchebags and like to stab or fight everyone. You the fans get nothing because you didnt put anything into it. Even when the niners lose we show up at games and fill the seats. Raider fans go to games to pick fights and get arrested (they know there teams gonna lose so what does it matter) I will admit JC is a awesome pick up but its sad that he is on a team that is stuck in its own stereotype.

Posted this on the chat too. There will be language written into every high priced first round draft pick that if you end up being a Lazy Ass you have to give money back. This will be known in legal terms as the “Russell Clause.”

Will future free agents see this as a negative in thier decisions to sign with the Raiders? I’ve often wondered if coaches refused to sign with Oakland due to the Shannahan/Kiffin sagas. These moves say a lot about Al Davis’ character. It seems as if he cares far more about his money than he does about his reputation. Even if successful in his bid to recover his money, is he the winner in the long term? Does he even care? I am a die hard Broncos fan, but more than that, I am a fan of Football. As much as I root against the Raiders I’ve always had nothing but respect for the organization. Moves like this damage that respect.

Is if they use the money to make an intelligent signing to bring on some productive free agents.

yes,he was a bumm and dosent deserve the money.if we have a job and dont come to the site prepaired to work,late or some how impared that it would effect our job performance we would get fired and most of us wouldent get a fat pay check to send us off.but after all the positive things that have happened this year,do we realy need this kind of thing dragging out through the seasson or possably years.every time we hear about Russell we will hear about how Al screwed him out of money just like we hear about Shanahans bitch ass all the time.

MAN HE WAS THE BIGGEST BUST EVER. WE COULD’VE GOT OURSELVES CALVIN JOHNSON THAT YEAR. SO MUCH REGRETS.

We may hear some real facts of all the shit we have been speculating on. This could be a far more entertaining overhead presentation that Kiffins.

buy all the remaining tickets to every game that doesnt sell out so the games are on tv and give away the extra tickets so more people go to the games and realize you have to be there to experience the real raider nation

Al Davis beat the whole fucking NFL when he moved us back to Oakland from L.A and you say that he can’t win little money argument … You must feel stupid right now.

I had burned that image outta my head only to see this punk on the front page of S&BP.

Been a Raiders fan since the 60’s, I have watched Al’s every move.

First of all, want to say to the bone head people, saying Davis is wasting money on legal fees, don’t know squat about the Raiders organization. Al’s left hand man, or should I say women, is Dark Queen attorney at law Amy Trask. They say Trask is the most powerful women in the NFL and the brains of the Raiders front office for the last 20 some odd years. Not to mention a slew of other in house attorneys Davis has on the payroll.

Davis has long been considered one of the most controversial owners in the NFL and has been involved in multiple lawsuits involving Los Angeles, Oakland, Irwindale and the NFL. Davis’s track record in the court room is impeccable. In other words, the Raiders organization is a law firm in it’s self. Also, Davis is a shrewd businessman and he knows the law.

I’m not sure what the Raiders are shooting for, but I can tell you this, Russell will not see one red cent of the 3 million dollars owed to him this season. you can ask Shanahan and Kiffin about owed money coming to them. The only reason the Raiders had Russell in mini camp, is to see if he would show up, if he didn’t the Raiders would have had bigger cause to hold back money. So this pretty much sounds like the 3 million owed to him, not about 9.5 million.

If the Raiders discovered a way to add a loophole to the contract during renegotiation which will allow them to recover money, good for them. The way Russell goes through money, judging from his jewelry, jaunts to Las Vegas and generally lavish spending habits, you wonder if he’ll have $.9.55 million to return to the Raiders if he loses the grievance.

he publicly announced he wants to leave the cowboys
he was pretty good for dallas, and we can probly get a good deal for him now that they have dez bryant, i say go for it al

back for his POS jersey.

It’s always the fans that take the hit. The owners bitch about how much the players are making. The players just take what they can get, but it’s the fans paying for it whether by tickets, merchandise, or simply because of the ad revenue which wouldn’t be worth anything if people aren’t watching tv.

I say we make shirts with Jamarcus on it, but it should say “Bust” or “Douche” on it..We can totally sell it on the bridge to the Bart for like 10-15 bucks..Slowly but surely we’ll earn our money back, all while laughing at his fat face…

Whenever the defense holds someone to less than 10 points, everyone in attendence gets a free meal from In & Out Burger in honor of Russell’s fail supreme offense and fat at the same time.
