When I was a child, I was curious. I always asked, "Why?" Sometimes, I got that look from my elders, that made me know that if I pushed them, there would be some type of reprimand.
Well, many of us in the Raider Nation are curious and some are puzzled. So many transitions are difficult to process. The question is, "Where do the Oakland Raiders go from here?" Up, we hope!
Some of us wonder if the loud voices of fans, the strong opinions, for example, of the Bleacher Report writers make a difference in what is decided in the Oakland Raiders franchise.
If those opinions and editorials have made a difference then someone from the front office should let us know.

Pulling for the Oakland Raiders is somewhat like pulling for the overnight success of the once homeless man named Ted Williams. Williams had a career, then loss everything, and now in 2011 it looks like he is on his way up the social ladder, again.

Someone told me when I was a child that I like challenges and to help people with challenges. Well, maybe that's why I am a dedicated fan of the Oakland Raiders. They have been challenged.
Oh what a day it will be when they finally reach a pinnacle of success, again. Go Raiders!
