If you are a sports fan, you must of heard how insane Oakland Raiders fan an be. I have also heard the many tails of the insanity they can cause. It wasn't until the October 24, 2004 game did I see first hand how crazy they are.

Right after I worked into the stadium, I was greeted by two overweight men trying to hold each other up. After a closer examine, it turns out one of the men was trying to help the other find a save place to vomit. The safe place was in a garbage can by the stadium entrance. The first quarter had barely begun. The vomiting man was completely wasted but was conscious not to vomit anywhere close to his silver and black attire. Let me assure you he wasn't vomiting because the Raider is such an awful team this year.

The Raider Nation was going to be well represented today. To be perfectly honest, I was a bit nervous about the game. Not because of the rabid fans, but for the lively hood of my friend attending the game with me. The game was between the Raider and New Orleans Saints. My friend happens to be a died hard Saints fan. Do not ask me why. I envision myself pulling a Kingpin on my good buddy. You know the scene in Kingpin where Woody Harrison's character knocks out Randy Quaid's character because Rodger Clemens was going to beat the shit out of him. I figure I would be doing my friend a favor. Luckily, my friend kept his emotions for the Saints to himself.

After getting a few cold ones, we found are seat and made ourselves comfortable. I did glance around the stadium and saw nothing but silver and black. At one point, I felt as I was going to get a sucker punch for wearing neutral blue. To left of us was the Hill Billy section. Overweight men in there overalls with cherry red faces from alcohol showed how much they respected Kerry Collins with “you fuckin bum chants”. The brothers held down the fort to right of us with “make a fuckin tackle chants”. I didn't care to look behind us, but “I'm going to fuckin kill you” was the statement of the day. I was too busy watching to game to notice who was in front of me. The profanity was just as charming. So, a word to the wise, wear nothing but silver and black to an Oakland Raiders home game.
