I hate my owner more than the Dallas Cowboys.

[cboy4]

And this asshole has the nerve to put this on the Niner website, even though he has had zero to do with a single trophy. :mad:



Fully enjoy your team winning, because losing is a nightmare considering I've been so spoiled with the 49ers for most of my life.

Give the Owners an Earful

Angry, frustrated Bay Area NFL fans need to demand explanations from John York (above) and Al Davis, writes Nancy Gay.

Nancy Gay
Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Bay Area NFL fans, you are angry, fed up, frustrated. Don't apologize. You have earned the right.

Now it's time to do something about it.

If you are sincerely disgusted with the state of your once-mighty franchise, be it the 49ers or the Raiders, then take action. No more blaming the beat writers and columnists for stating hard truths that you've known in your hearts for years. No more pleas to fire the owners on Internet message boards.

That is not going to happen. They are not selling.

Do something about it. Make the owners, whose teams opened the 2008 season with maddeningly predictable results, explain themselves to you.

Demand that they conduct town-hall meetings across the Bay Area and tell you, the ticket-buying, jersey-wearing fans, why your once-proud favorite franchise is an NFL embarrassment.

Demand that John, Jed and Denise York get microphones, take hard questions and give honest answers about their football product, a 49ers team filled with high draft picks and big-money free agents who consistently fail to deliver.

You don't want to hear Jed York telling you yet again why the 49ers need $136 million in redevelopment funding from Santa Clara to build a $900 million stadium. That won't fix this.

Demand that Al Davis - yes, even though he is 79 and frail - stand before you. Not Jim Otto or Amy Trask. Make Al Davis explain why he has committed nearly $200 million of the Raiders' future this season to unproductive free-agent signings. Why does he misjudge talent and character, year after year?

Davis must explain why he refuses to let his head coaches coach. Why he has almost entirely disbanded his personnel department, starting with the departures of Bruce Allen and Michael Lombardi, until now. Do you really think Mark Jackson makes a football decision?

1. Maybe the Saudis will buy the 49ers...

I imagine Prince Abdullah (a big 49ers fan for years) is not too happy with York either. At least if he buys the team, he probably won't be quibbling over a few hundred million here or there.

[cboy4]

2. Yea, but it's more than money ... the team is so incompetent,

it doesn't know how to hire coaches or GM's or how to select draft picks.

And of course they gave away their #1 pick from '08 to New England for a ridiculous acquisition.

Abdullah, I'm sure, could come in and do just as well as York.

And think about the fantastic give-aways at Candlestick Park .. free barrels of oil, etc. WOW!11! :bounce:

3. Al Davis looks like he belongs in a horror film

Wait a minute -- he already is.

4. Did you hear how many people got arrested at the Raider

game? :wow:

The Coliseum is scary enough when the Raiders win.


Police say they arrested 45 Oakland Raiders fans and used stun guns to break up several fights at Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos.

The arrests for drunkenness, fighting, assault and drug charges were on top of dozens of ejections for minor offenses such as sitting in the wrong seat.

Authorities say three police officers were hurt when a brawl broke out as they attempted to detain a drunken man before the game.

Two of the officers suffered cuts and bruises when they were punched in the face. The third officer suffered a broken finger.

Oakland police spokesman Roland Holmgren says some people come to the game just to start trouble.

6. During A's games the Coliseum is a pretty mellow place.

Lets hear it for tailgating!

:sarcasm:

[davidinalameda]

20. it's the RAIDERS!

and they won BABY

[TZ]

5. Dude. My owner is Dan Snyder.

He's done everybit a good job ruining a proud franchise as York or Davis....
Can we lock them all in a room together and let competent people run the teams..

[cboy4]

7. Yea, we should keep Guantanamo open just for them.

:puke:

[madinmaryland]

8. Ole Danny Boy is doing a heckuva job in DC!!1!!

Keep it up Danny!!

:rofl:

[Captain Hilts]

11. I can't bring myself to hate The Danny because...

he grew up loving the team. He's a Bethesda homeboy.

I thought hiring Spurrier and Gibbs was great, even if it didn't turn out that way.

He seemed totally fucked up by the death of Sean Taylor.

He makes a LOT of mistakes, but doesn't seem to make the same ones twice.

Remember, the next largest bidder to buy the team was the NJ Devils' owner who is a total shit.

9. Here's a picture of my owners...

[Captain Hilts]

12. They're clearly vicious beasts!!!

[joeybee12]

13. Hey, when they say jump! I jump!

:hi:

[Captain Hilts]

14. Go Sox!

[joeybee12]

15. I'm still a wreck from Wednesday's game...

...although a little more optimistic after last night...this coming week will be tough.

[Captain Hilts]

10. "MORE" than the Cowboys? This must be a very difficult time for you...

have you considered group therapy? There must be others going through this trying time who can be 'there' for you.h

[LSdemocrat]

16. Be glad you're not a Rams fan

It's amazing how much of a joke the NFC west is this year. Imagine, somebody is actually going to get a playoff spot from among the Seahawks, Rams, Cards, and Niners.

6-10 might just be "good" enough.

[Ishoutandscream2]

17. Loving it! Maybe you need to get your old felon mafiaso, Eddy, to come back

He knows how to win, and break a few bones to boot!!

Thank God I'm a Cowboy fan. When will you obsessive haters of the Cowboys understand that we take your hate as a compliment. Loving it!!!!!!

[Forkboy]

18. Al is looking like the old dude in Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

He better not fall asleep or someone might bury him.

19. *ahem* Detroit Lions fan here *ahem* Wanna trade experiences?
