Oakland Raiders: How will they screw up this year?

Raiders Owner/GM/Curmudgeon Al Davis always finds a way to reach on a pick or find a complete bust. They reached on Michael Huff at pick 7 in 2006, found the laziest quarterback ever in 2007 with JaMarcus Russell and the jury's still out on 2008's Darren McFadden thanks to a poor offensive line. Probably the worst of the bunch is from last year's draft when Davis used the 7th overall pick on wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (9 catches in 11 games in 2009) and not the top WR Michael Crabtree (48 catches in 11 games).

          The crystal ball was two up and two down for the week.  Even though that is an improvement, it still doesn’t cut it!  Good thing this is for entertainment purposes only…or I would be in the poor house!  Let’s take a look back and see what happened:

I never heard of him either! 

           Al Davis, in one of his many “brilliant” moves, has fired another head coach…we should have seen it coming…it’s his M.O.  Every couple of years he changes the head coach and forgets to look in the mirror…he is the problem!  Kiffin, who has never been a Head Coach before, was given 20 games (5-15) to prove himself.  When Davis hired Kiffin, he was 31 years old…barely older than many of his players.  If Big Al wanted a quick fix, then perhaps he should have hired someone like Bill Parcells, Brian Billick, Bill Cowher, you get the idea…someone with experience!

Now, oh my goodness! Have you seen the state that the team is in today? Ugh! Al Davis is back to his nutty tricks and has asked Lane Kiffin to resign. Huh? Really? Yea
