WE should pool up and buy it.

[53Broncos]

I'll give them 5 bucks!

I have a piece of lint in my pocket...

[Beantown Bronco]

I'd trade them Gordon or Burton for that 20%.....

[Garcia Bronco]

What about the percentage we already own? I know it's their asses, but still.

[Spider]

I'm thinking thats more like 35%, I would hate for you to overspend.

[cadencesdad]

LOL

But thats a community pool, shared by 31 teams.

[broncocalijohn]

Tell me if my math is correct here. Do we still "own" 80% of the Faiders or it doesnt matter as the whole 100% is still covered? I wonder if the Faiders fans can pool their money together to help out their team and buy the 20%? I think they were trying to do just that but later found out welfare checks and food stamps need to be used for usefull everyday life and the Faiders are included as prohibited with booze, weapons and drugs.

Watch for liquor store robberies in Oakland sky rocket as someone tries to raise the cash.

[Bronx33]

20% of the silver and black turd is for sale? that's rich.

[NFLBRONCO]

Why are they selling 20% is it for drugs?

[crowebomber]

Shanahan should lobby to get a percentage of that in lieu of the money owed to him.

[DenverBrit]

Why are they selling 20% is it for drugs?

Close. It's to motorize the crypt keepers' walker. ;D

[NFLBRONCO]

Now that we had fun with them, I wouldn't be surprise if Steve Young and old 49er owner make a play for the team. They already attempted it once.

[Garcia Bronco]

You mean Dibartilo(sp)

Here the story: (2006)

Al Davis has refused to adapt to the modern age of football. He is a relic, the strong man who runs a franchise like a dictator, and because of this he's ruined the Raiders. He needs someone to save him from himself.

Steve Young and Brent Jones want to do that. They have offered to buy part of the Oakland Raiders.

According to well-placed sources, this happened within the last six months.

Young and Jones were willing to give Al Davis a fantastic deal. In exchange for a big chunk of the ownership, they would let Davis run the football side of the operation.

Young and Jones also pledged to raise private money for a new stadium, not necessarily in Oakland. They would find the best location in the Bay Area and put up a state-of-the-art structure.

[Rohirrim]

I'm buying in. I'll sit in on board meetings and tell my Al Davis jokes.

What do call Al Davis water skiing?
Skip.

What do you call Al Davis in the pool?
Bob.

What do you call Al Davis on your front porch?
Mat.

I got a million of 'em. ;D

[CBF1]

You all are killing me. Funny stuff all ROFL!

[Vegas_Bronco]

I believe one of Steve's stipulations in the contract says that Al must peform the following:

[Sassy]

Shanahan should lobby to get a percentage of that in lieu of the money owed to him.

That was my thought too! LOL!
