Oakland Raiders History
On January 30, 1960, the American Football League voted to award Oakland a football team. The team's co-owners were accountable for bring football to Oakland: Ed McGah, Harvey Binns, Wayne Valley, Chet Soda, Robert Osborne, Charles Harney, and Don Blessing. Chet Soda was named the team's general manager.
The innovative team colors were Black, Gold and White they didn't wear Silver and Black until 9/7/63. For a brief period, the new AFL team was recognized as the Senors but by the time the 1960 season started, the Oakland team was identified as the Raiders. Ed Erdelatz was the head coach, Tom Flores and Babe Parilli were the quarterbacks, and a young rookie, Jim Otto, was a lineman. My dad, L.C. Joyner, played defensive back.
Oakland's record for the first three years was miserable at 9-33 and average home audience was only about 11,000. This was all twisted around when Al Davis joined the Raiders in 1963. Oakland went from 1-13 in 1962 to 10-4 in 1963 and Davis was named the AFL Coach of the Year. In 1966, head coach and general manager of the Oakland Raiders, Al Davis became the Commissioner of the American Football League (AFL). Prior to 1966, when the 54,616 capacity Oakland Coliseum was opened, the Raiders played at Kezar Stadium and Candlestick Park in SF and at Frank Youell Fieldin Oakland.
On November 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders vs. New York Jets game was cut off of TV to begin the film Heidi on NBC. The Raiders got 2 touchdowns in 9 seconds to win the game 43-32 - all of which the TV audience missed. NBC was flooded with calls and the idea of program delay was instituted immediately by the networks. This game has since been known as 'The Heidi Game.'
The Oakland Raiders are the only team to play in the Super Bowl in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The Raiders have won 3 Super Bowls, won/shared 15 Division Championships, played in 12 Championship games, won the American Football League Championship and 4 American Football Conference Championships. Twelve Raiders have been inducted into NFL's Hall of Fame and 5 Raider coaches have been named Coach of the Year.

Oakland Raiders News
Raiders Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) Cornerback is a position where late bloomers need not apply.
More than any other position in football, corners tend to identify themselves as viable players by their mid-20s. If they're not standouts by then, they hope to hang on as extra defensive backs or perhaps move to safety. Which is why Chris Johnson is opening eyes with the Raiders as their starting left cornerback. Johnson missed practice Thursday after injuring his knee late in Wednesday's practice but coach Tom Cable expects him to play against Denver. Johnson, 29, is getting his first extended time as a starter and is running with the opportunity. Given that Johnson is identified by Nnamdi Asomugha as the fastest player on the team, that's not surprising. Through two games as a... Bush adjusting to another new position (AP) When the Oakland Raiders drafted Michael Bush in 2007 they felt as if they had stolen a player with first-round talent in the fourth round because of a broken leg that ruined his senior season. Now they are trying to turn that talented runner into a blocking fullback in a move that has not been embraced by Bush. Week 12 NFL picks: Giants will make Warner feel a rush (SportingNews.com) After a ho-hum set of matchups and results in Week 11, everything has been dialed up in Week 12. NFL Briefs (AP) The Seahawks placed Patrick Kerney on injured reserve Wednesday, ending the season for Seattle's top pass rusher. Kerney had shoulder surgery earlier this month. He injured it in a win at San Francisco on Oct. 26. It's the same left shoulder on which Kerney had surgery last offseason to repair cartilage damage. |
