@AllThingsLVR @Raiders Why Connor Cook started the playoff game the following week still baffles me
English

"Why, Why, Why!!!" Millions of #Raiders fans around the world hearts stopped the second this play was over. Week 16 2016, the @Raiders were sitting at 11-3 with this game in hand in the 4th Qtr., but decided to continue passing the ball, a monumental mistake that will haunt the team forever. QB Derek Carr was in consideration for the NFL MVP award and then this happened. Carr broke his right fibula, and his season was ended abruptly. The team would win this game vs the #Colts but go on to lose the next week and again in the Wildcard playoff game against the #Texans ending the Raiders special season. Oh, what could have been had this play not occurred! 🏴☠️👇

🏴☠️ Be honest...
How many wins do you think the @Raiders get this season?
No explanations.
Just your number. 👇

@EricLDaugh We’ve all seen enough to know he’s a weirdo and doesn’t care about victims

@AllThingsLVR Have to disagree with you. TB12’s “stooges” Alex Guerrero and Jim Gray are despised in the organization. Max Crosby’s hatred of Guerrero was a factor in him wanting to leave. Brady has done nothing but bring chaos so far

What Tom Brady brings to the #Raiders is literally priceless and the single best decision Mark Davis has made was making Tom Brady a minority team owner. The video below is considered to be "The Tom Brady Manifesto for Success." This is a lesson in life and what it took for him to be the greatest he could be. Brady has brought this mindset to the @Raiders. Rest assured the Raiders will rise again! Watch this and you will see why! 👇🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️

@NFLMAVERICK @kirkmorrison Reggie McKenzie passed on Derrick Henry to select Ward

@LADodgersMuse It was the worst contract in LAD history before he even played a single game

@Oaklraiders1976 Only game I’ve ever seen be delayed due to fighting in the stands. It was an embarrassing day for both sides

This was the last Battle of LA until the Rams and chargers met many years later.
Raiders won 20-17 BTW.

Rob and Mia Bonta built their power in California on money from a human trafficking front, fraudulent nonprofits, and a donor network now under active FBI indictment.
Mia Bonta’s 2021 Assembly campaign received thousands in straw donor contributions from “Music Cafe,” an Oakland karaoke bar raided by state authorities for ketamine and ecstasy distribution, prostitution, and human trafficking. The man investigators believe was the real owner of that front called Rob Bonta “brother,” partied with the Bontas in limousines, and sat courtside with them at Warriors games.
Just months after those donations, Mia Bonta abstained on a bipartisan bill making the commercial sexual exploitation of children a serious felony under California’s Three Strikes law. She only reversed course after nationwide outrage and public threats forced her hand.
This is the same couple whose operation includes Mia running Oakland Promise without a valid federal 501(c)(3) determination. She filed IRS Form 990s using a duplicate EIN from another nonprofit in clear violation of California corporation law. While the organization operated in legal limbo, she collected base salaries of $160,625, $147,000, and $128,125 in different years. Rob Bonta used his position in the Legislature to behest corporate and lobbyist money directly into organizations paying his wife six figures, including a $25,000 transfer from his own foundation that he initially tried to disguise as a loan on tax filings.
Her 2021 campaign headquarters was located at 1241 High Street in Oakland — the exact former corporate address of Viridis Fuels, the failed biofuel company that received a $3.4 million state grant after Rob Bonta personally intervened with the California Energy Commission on behalf of its president, a donor with a documented history of tax liens and financial failure.
The Duong family and their associates, now federally indicted alongside former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on bribery and corruption charges, pumped over $172,000 into Rob and Mia Bonta’s campaigns — more than 30x their average contribution to other local politicians. When the FBI raids hit, Rob returned $155,000 “out of an abundance of caution.” His campaign then spent nearly $469,000 on private legal counsel from one of the most expensive firms in the country to navigate the investigation, including after receiving a letter warning that one of the targets possessed a “compromising video” of the Attorney General.
While this was happening, Rob Bonta’s Department of Justice leaked the full personal data of over 240,000 Californians who held concealed carry permits — names, addresses, dates of birth, and license numbers — days after the Supreme Court struck down similar restrictions in Bruen. The same Attorney General who has positioned himself as a national champion of data privacy and sued companies for far less presided over one of the most reckless state-sponsored data breaches in California history.
Mia Bonta authored AB 2624, legislation already being called the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” by critics. It attempts to criminalize journalists and citizens who document misconduct by taxpayer-funded nonprofits and government contractors — the exact structures her own record shows were used to move money and shield operations from scrutiny.
Rob Bonta has used the powers of the Attorney General’s office to manipulate ballot language against tough-on-crime measures that later passed with overwhelming voter support, lost a 6-3 Supreme Court case for violating First Amendment donor privacy rights, and allowed foreign-linked money to flow into litigation he then personally promoted for political gain.
They function as one closed system. She advances the agenda and shields the nonprofit pipeline. He controls the Department of Justice, the budget fights, and the legal apparatus that protects the machine. When one is threatened, the other’s power is deployed.

@PaulHGutierrez They haven’t earned it PG. too many national tv stinkers the last couple years.

The #Raiders not appearing in ANY primetime games (barring any flexing), let alone being skipped over for an international game for the seventh straight season, is nasty work. But put away your torches and pitchforks, #RaiderNation, for now...
