Randy’s Thoughts On Raiders Games
I have always disliked Broncos fans much more than Raiders fans at Arrowhead. Broncos fans are rude, Raiders fans are scary. If you keep it civil you wont have any problems at a Raiders game, Broncos fans look for trouble for the most part. Raiders fans make you think they will take it farther though, as far as you want to take it.
My buddy Rick told of an incident where he happened to be sitting in a section at Arrowhead primarily occupied by Raiders fans. He found them friendly and good natured for the most part. He told me he yelled “First Down Chiefs!!!” and met with the reply that “the first step is a big one.” They were in the upper deck.
The Raiders fans wear skull make up quite a bit and it can be alarmingly realistic. Not so bad if the game is in October but if it’s nowhere near Halloween it really gets the point across.
Shaking hands with a Raiders fan has always reminded me of two boxers shaking hands before a fight. Peaceful but tense.
Tailgating is a little different as well. At most games you walk over to your neighbors set up and enthusiastically introduce yourself. You spend a little more time sizing up the Raider fan and their set up before stopping in.
I have found that most opposing fans do not have the license plate of the state the team is from, but most Raiders fans do indeed have California plates, so Raiders fans can be a dedicated lot and travel for their games.
Raiders fans definitely give it to you a little worse when you lose, much more vocal and loud. Chiefs fans are usually much quieter in return than they are with Bronco fans.
THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT AT A RAIDERS GAME:
5. You check her for a wedding ring at a Chiefs game. You check her for an Adam’s apple at a Raiders game.
4. You watch the jumbotron at a Chiefs game. You watch your back at a Raiders game.
3. You write down the phone number at a Chiefs game. You write down the license plate number at a Raiders game.
2. You throw up at a Chiefs game. They throw down at a Raiders game.
1.You show off your guns at a Chiefs game by wearing a sleeveless shirt. They show off their guns at a Raiders game by opening the trunk.

November 28th, 2008 at 5:58 pmGod Damit!! Shooter needs a win!! Its the freakin raiders! Come on herm, get your head outta your butt. Its gonna be harder to bring over any repitable free agents with each loss!
November 28th, 2008 at 6:03 pmI am more concerned with draft pick and maing the young kids better than FAs. Money is what brings in FAs not W and L. A few might be swayed by that, but is being 4-12 going to make a difference than 2-14 or 1-15?
November 28th, 2008 at 6:12 pmI would like to officially announce for those with interest that I am back full-time…yaaaaaay…I got the crap worked out with my ISP finally…
I think the difference between Raider’s fans and Bronco’s fans that makes me hate Broncs more is that they are obnoxious and cocky. Raider’s fans you just look at and feel pity for because they are such losers. It’s sad really. But Bronco’s fans think they are sent from God…
We better win this game, it will be a sad day if not.
Shooter, I like how you go with the “G-D” but also regress to the “butt” business…lol…
November 28th, 2008 at 6:21 pmI agree Woody what do the Broncos fans have to be cocky about? They had a great run with one good qb and thats it. The only Bronco player I ever liked was John Lynch and even he wasnt really a Bronco. The Raiders are one organization that are at least as dysfunctional as we are and thats saying something. Glad to have you back Woodster.
November 28th, 2008 at 6:53 pmWhen two teams offer a free agent the same amount of money, who would you pick? 1-15 or a team that had 5 or 6 games? If you think you can when with just draft picks or absolutely wrong! You have to mix FA’s and drafted player together. Look at all of our draft bust. come on!

November 28th, 2008 at 7:51 pmI do have a good friend thats a Broncs fan and I will a agree on them being obnoxious and cocky. Who could be mad at a Raiders fan??? You know just where they’ll be at the end of the season.
December 1st, 2008 at 2:45 amYes one of my best friends is a Broncos fan too we go to the home game together but get him started and MAN you dont want to be in the same car.
