Delusional

In an article posted here: No winner in left tackle derby - Inside The Oakland Raiders - A look inside the world of the highly classified Oakland Raiders from the writers of ANG Newspapers
Some of the responses are simply delusional.

What's scary is these guys are absolutely serious.

Who doesn’t see Joe Montana when they watch JaMarcus Russell pick defenses apart? How can people not see it? These so called fans are really depressing. The Raiders would be undefeated if it wasn’t for the negative fans bashing the team.

Try living around these people. It's awful.

Are you sure they're serious? Sounds pretty tongue-in-cheek to me.

I guess we know where jbmagic went.

And yeah, this seemed tongue in cheek to me as well.

Considering the 'Fumble' guy has these two post later back to back. It seems pretty obvious he's messing around.

Guys, let’s ignore the trolls and talk football. I see us running the table and ending up 9-7. I don’t see why not. We have everything put together. Al Davis cut D. Hall. We’re back!

Uh, duh, obviously we’ll end up with at top 5 pick this year. There’s no ‘probably’ about it. We will. Probably the number one pick. And we’ll probably be picking high every year until somebody finally hits Al Davis with a champagne bottle.

Ah, maybe Fumble wasn't serious. It's hard to tell there.

Back when they were good, the Raiders used to be the team I loved to hate. Now, they're just pathetic. Al Davis seems to be in his own little world these days. I read an article where some where saying it might be time for the commissioner of the NFL to step in and try to help right the franchise, but I doubt it happens...I don't think any of the owners really want to see a precedent set where the league can step in and tell an owner how to operate their franchise.

Also, I think that the league has no love for Al Davis. I think that the NFL is just fine watching the team crumble around him.

Heck, maybe the NFL is banking on the Raiders being horrible and losing support in Oakland so that when Davis passes it will be easier to engineer a move back to L.A.

I thought that was Al Davis posting those messages.
