Rams-Raiders Blackout

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Raiders' home opener against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday will be blacked out locally because the team didn't sell out the game in time.

Games need to be sold out 72 hours before kickoff to avoid a blackout in a 75-mile radius. This will be Oakland's first home opener since 2004 against Buffalo that will be blacked out locally.

The Raiders haven't sold out a game since last year's season opener against San Diego. They have had eight straight blackouts since that game.

I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking that this myth that Faiders fans always come out in droves to support their team is just that, a myth.

So much for dedicated fan loyalty, yet they still act like Cubs fans, maybe worse.

But beware: Anger, fear, aggression. The Dark Side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
