Frank Girardot: The Snake, Facebook and a glimmer of hope for R...

My brother Brian found Ken Stabler's Facebook page the other day. If the page is the real deal, and I believe it is, Snake's got 25 friends including me, Brian, and my cousin Paul Hebert who lives in Cleveland.

Frank,

We dont need the Raiders back in Los Angeles. What we need to do, is get rid of gangs, pit bulls, Buick Regals, swap meets, pajamas, and slippers. Bring the Raiders back to LA for the sake of a NAME, will just delay progress towards having a football team whos fans actually contribute to a productive working class society.

I think the Raidersare exactly the team Roski and his apologists deserve.

[RAIDER N LA HABRA]

THATS A GOOD 1 CASUAL MALE. LET ME GUESS U MUST B RAM FAN. ITS GOOD 2 C WE STILL HAVE FAITHFULL RAIDER FANS,GOOD JOB FRANK..

[Larry]

The Raiders are a terrible organization! Let hope for something better, even an expansion team!

[HUH]

wtf was this about?

[RaidersIn09]

Yes yes yes, bring the Raiders here! Leave Davis behind though ok.:')

[Pinky]

Yuck

[Waste of Time]

How about all the Cowboys, Yankees, Steelers and Red Sox crap you see. They all belong in the Valley too. Time to start jumping off the bandwagons, instead of on. Where's the loyalty anymore to the home teams. Oh that's right, they reside in Oakland where they belong. No thanks. All though I'd take back the Rams, once they become a better team. (RIP Georgia, you trader).

[Frank Girardot]

I'm sorry. This was the lamest article I ever wrote. We don't need the Raiders back. I'll just go move to Oakland and blog there.

[Frank Girardot]

I really am a moron. What was I thinking?????????

[Grrreat]

Nothing against the Raiders, but the fans are 86 percent all pieces of sheet. We don't want cholo stupid raidier fans in this area. This is a nice bedroom type community and all that "entity" is going to ruin it. F the Raiders fan.

I agree..you see many Raiders bumper stickers, signs, etc. in the San Gabriel Valley. Since they are a favorite icon of the gangs, you see them alot!
I think the Raiders had their chance in Southern California. Let's see if we can find a winning team this time.

Like the Raiders team that won a Superbowl there?

[Losers coming to the SGV]

If, and that is still a big if, Roski manages to get the money to buy a team and build the stadium, it will be a loser team like the Raiders or worst. Lets not forget Al Davis's Irwindale fiasco and the millions Al made from that charade. I smell similar happenings if the Raiders are involved. The biggest losers will be all of us who enjoy football on the TV as we will never be able to watch since the stadium will not sell out and we'll all be blacked out, blackened and silvered.

[Pete Carroll]

We already have a pro football team. I'm the coach.

[Vince Perez]

Well, Frank, I always wondered why there were so many commentators bashing you and your articles. I always gave you the benefit of the doubt when I read those derogatory remarks against you and your columns. But as the old saying goes "better... than to open it [your mouth] and remove all doubt". Now I get it. Anyone who knows the history of what Al Davis did here in this Valley.... anyone who has been accosted by or had the experience of being "mad-dogged" by a driver or pedestrian for no reason only to see that nasty "raider nation" emblem as their gritty vehicle made its rude maneuver around one's own, anyone with any class in other words - would understand why that team should never be allowed back in Los Angeles. Ed - hear me: don't do it....

[SAY IT AINT SO]

If the Raiders are coming back to So. Cal. people better invest in Kevlar vests before attending a live game.
