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
Garcia has no plans to be No.2 in Oakland (Yahoo! Sports) Jeff Garcia didn't sign with the Oakland Raiders to be the No.2 quarterback behind JaMarcus Russell. Raiders Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) The acquisition of free agent defensive end Greg Ellis, who was instantly installed as the starter on the left side during his first practice, further clouded the status of incumbent Derrick Burgess.
Coach Tom Cable maintains Ellis' arrival and Burgess' status are separate issues. He concedes there was some discussion about Burgess before the draft but that there has been none recently.
Getting Ellis, he said, was simply a chance to add another quality player.
There are good arguments for keeping Burgess around through the final year of a five-year contract. Although his sack numbers of dwindled each season—from 16 to 11 to 8 to 4.5—he could still serve a valuable function as a pass rusher and could conceivably stay healthier with reduced snaps. ...
