Did a quick check, and Funked has been in every thread good or bad about the Raiders that I read.

I think the statement is false.

I'm kinda thinking Seahawks fans should just shut up about now.

Just because I live here doesn't mean I support the Hawks!  You must have me confused with a native-Seattlite!

Rip do you want me to scan my ticket stubs?  :)
Or put up a web cam of me breaking stuff while watching the away games on TV?  :)

Where I come from, you don't run smack unless you have scoreboard.  Raiders have not had scoreboard, therefore I have not been running smack.

Who do you support Rip?  Best to say up front.

And... I suppose you were an M's fan prior to moving there?

Actually, Deja, I've come full circle, I like watching all football games, and really do not route one team on or another, except when it comes to playoffs, then I want the best team to win (See Raiders vs Patriots last year :D )

When I used to bet football, I was 19/20 in a 20 week period with the playoffs thru the Super bowl.  I've named 13 of the last 14 superbowl winners since, but since I haven't bet in 14 years, naturally I'm going to pick a winner every time. :)

I used to be a subscriber of Jim Feists publications, and studied it week in and week out.  Never lost much money betting...but alas, I "quit while I was a head"

So....

You won't acknowledge being a fan of any team, yet you call someone else a fairweather fan?

Um... Rip...

When someone posts only when their team wins, they're fair-weather IMO. :)

And what would you call someone that only posts when someone else's team looses?

Oh, forgot to mention I've only been off by 1 game in predicting the final outcome of the Seahawks season since 1985.  This year prediction was 4-12 after watching 4 pre-season games.  So, I guess I pay attention to the Hawks..I *was* a season ticket holder until some Californicater bought the team in the early 90's, then I gave them up.

Ah.. kind of akin to someone running around with a container of salt and rubbing it in other people's wonds.

Well... at least they were in the fight in the first place.

cant speak for others but -
 I am a raiders fan & when they win im alot more vocal then when they lose. When they win im happy to talk about it & when they lose Im not. This doesnt make me a fair weather fan, just human.
 Human nature to accentuate the positive & eliminate the negative.  BTW still long way to go in season---

Oh?  Move 'em to Los Angeles.  The LA Seahawks.  It has a ring to it.
