We keep doing this, but no matter how much we bash the Raiders, they just keep doing really dumb things. It’s really amazing how far the stupidity in this organization goes. Here’s the scoop from PFT:
According to David White of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Raiders want CBS analyst Rich Gannon (and former Oakland Super Bowl quarterback) banned from their Alameda training facility.
Club officials want Gannon blackballed because he’s been critical of the organization.
“Rich Gannon is not welcome here,” ubiquitous club spokesman John Herrera said. “We told CBS we did not want him in our building . . . and that’s where it sits.”
Initially, the Raiders even asked for Gannon to be pulled out of the broadcast booth.
Unsurprisingly, CBS declined.
“Rich Gannon is an objective and analytical broadcaster and he will be broadcasting the game as assigned,” said CBS senior V.P. of communications LeslieAnne Wade.
The Raiders claim the fact that Gannon said that they should “blow up the building and start over” is offensive in post-9/11 world Really? Raiders, as a New Yorker and someone who was affected by the 9/11 tragedy, I am going to respectful tell you to kiss my white ass.
Just because that happened, it doesn’t mean that Rich Gannon can’t make an analogy about blowing up your team. As a matter of fact, let’s just remove the words “blow” and “up” from the dictionary. Will that make you happy?
Well, it shouldn’t because you’d still be a terrible franchise.
