Re: Was Wrong With Jay Mohr?????
Sorry but Mohr is closer to "right" than "wrong" here.
Raider fans are outrageous. They dress in outlandish costumes all the time; they get very drunk and violent; they are abusive and even "murderous" at times if you recall what happened to that Charger fan in Oakland who caught the business end of a knife.
But Raider fans are front-running posers. When the team wins, they get lots more of them out to the games. When the team is ahead, they are really loud. But let the Raiders fall behind by 10 and the fans sit down and shut up - - unless a TV camera is on them of course. And if the team is 0-4 - as they likely will be as of this week - even fewer of them show up. The Raiders lead the NFL in having their games blacked out at home. On average (over the past 10 years of so) they only sell out twice a year at home and they do not have a huge stadium to fill up.
Those are not "great fans" in my mind...
