Sports Trash Talk (9 Viewers)

I mean Team USA didn’t play with many of their superstars, but the German team played a phenomenal tournament. Much better than our soccer team atm

Yeah I knew where you were going. Was not impressed with the squad Team USA put on the court. Losing to Germany by 2 points isn't as embarrassing as losing to Canada for the Bronze though. Let's be honest though: this is not the Olympics

If you take recent history (anything from last 5 to last 20 years), ownership, etc. in to account, I think that the Raiders are by far and away the absolute worst franchise to be a die hard fan of.

Clippers, Browns, Washington Redskins/Commanders, Indians, etc. I don't think it's remotely even close. I remember how it used to just be futility, and every season was hard but you'd sit there next to Browns fans and lament together over who had it worse.

It went from jokingly bad to a down right horrid, nightmare of an experience. I'm not being facetious or over the top, I'm honestly slightly surprised that a deranged or mentally unwell fan hasn't attempted to end Mark Davis' life. I know it doesn't have the same level of shock, but I'd prefer Jim Irsay's move of the Colts in the middle of the night from Baltimore to Indy 10 times over compared to Mark Davis deep, slow, continued twisting of the knife.

There's franchises that perform poorly or are dysfunctional. Then there's the Raiders - continually making conscientious decisions that ignore all history, tradition, values, and everything else in exchange for wealth. Mark Davis is 68 years old, increasing net worth by 1 or 100 or 1000 million dollars shouldn't matter over family's legacy.

It's like a horrid Greek tragedy story comedy or Shakespearian level betrayal, taking something as beautiful as competition found in sport and destroying it piece by piece.

Screw sports ownership in general and Mark Davis specifically. Raiders suck, dead to me, fricken corpse of a team and community.

That being said, Just Win Baby!

In the time it took you to write all of this you could have started a bar brawl with three 49ers fans, pushed a guy in a Phillip Rivers Chargers jersey into a urinal while he was pissing at the Coliseum, yelled a racial slur at Patrick Mahomes, and drunkenly stuck your middle finger directly into a stroller of a baby in a Broncos onesie but you didn't.

Pffft, and you call yourself a real Raiders fan

Half check, more like buy them a drink and then harass and belittle them

pushed a guy in a Phillip Rivers Chargers jersey into a urinal while he was pissing at the Coliseum

What is this trash. Makes 0 sense. Even coaches and players after game talking about Jimmy having “that dawg” in him and the Denver game being one we would have lost previously.

What. A. Fucking. Joke. Denver had the least amount of pressure than any other week 1 nfl game.

Garrapolo went 20 for 26!!! And still needed Denver to repeatedly screw up, miss fgs, miss pats, etc. just to walk away with a 1 point win. What a fucking joke.

Raiders good seasons with Carr were when they won 1 score games, bad seasons with Carr were when they lost 1 score games.

It often comes down to defense, game flow, and coaching/play calling more than anything else.

Thank goodness for Davante Adams who has no problem calling out the team for playing horribly and knowing they don’t win many games playing like that.

Having a “game manager” QB only works when you have a great defense and coaching staff. Let’s see how in the world they stay in striking distance when they play real teams with a legit offense.

I should start rooting for opposing teams.

The PAC 12, soon to be the PAC….2?

Has #8 Washington, currently winning 52-0.
#23 Washington St, currently winning 50-14
#24 UCLA, currently winning 52-0
#12 Utah, currently winning 31-7
#16 Oregon St, 26-9
#13 Oregon

Half the damn conference ranked, but they couldn’t get the necessary tv deals and such done? So bizarre to see what I thought was such a large standing conference torn apart. Blows

Feels good to have your team get a week 3 win out of the way before the weekend even starts.

Broncos best game of the year was against Raiders.

Bills blowout Raiders in a get right game after losing to…checks notes…the Jets.

Steelers have best offensive and defensive game of the young season vs Raiders.

I’d be so excited to play the Raiders, get a W and get to hit up a show before leaving town.

How the rest of the NFL views the Broncos:

Hate to see it.

I had 50 yard line 4 row back seats for Dallas at Arizona this week. The only upside was getting to see the life go out of the Dallas bench 15 feet away down 2 TDs and then ruthlessly hammering the live action line on BetMGM on the Cards +1.5.

I can’t wait to get against Dallas the rest of the year. It’s the same as every other year. They’re just a giant fucking disappointment.

FYI, Michigan hasn't covered the spread against 4 nobodies, yet they're still ranked #2 in the country and received one first place vote this week.

They are double digit favorites against Nebraska this weekend. Seems like there's an opportunity there.

Whoa whoa whoa. Rutgers is a….ok fine.

The Cleveland Browns have the best defense on several statistic measures since 1999 to start the season thru 3 games. Yards allowed/success rate/etc

And yet they have the worst defense of a franchise player’s lower leg since 1985
