I know. Shame on you, Daygo. Although to be fair, their are a lot of Raiders fans in SD. It's easy to spot them every time the Chargers lose a game. When the Chargers start winning again, they go back to their hideouts mumbling about their 3 championships.

Oh....and still my favorite Colin Cowherd quote...when talking about how fanbases in the South and the East are more rabid...

"West of the Rockies, you have Raider fans. And thats it. Hold on....Laker and USC fans, those arent rabid....those are bandwagon."

Thought you'd apprectiate the Laker shoutout  ;D

To truly measure a teams fan base you have to see how fans react when their team is doing shitty. Therefore, it is impossible to study a Lakers fan. 8)

Im sure we can find some examples, ie.....after Shaq left Kobe to lead the team  ;D

Russell Bell:

--- Quote from: Russell Bell on April 18, 2011, 03:44:44 AM ---I disagree for the simple fact he was drafted higher than any sane owner/gm shouldve ever taken him as opposed to leaf where there was legitimate proof at the time to validate his draft order.  Was he a worse player, maybe, but not a bigger bust.  Leaf and JaMarcus both had terrible teams and bad attitudes which = big time failure.  Who knows, Jamarcus could pop up somewhere and turn out decent.  Although i highly doubt that shit.

You forget that the entire world, every single analyst, etc. claimed Jamarcus should be taken #1 that year. People like to bash Al Davis, but he simply took the guy that everyone said should go number one...when we needed a QB. Jamarcus was a bust, maybe bigger than Ryan Leaf. But its hard to say it was just an Al Davis mistake. It was a worldwide mistake on the assessment of Russell. We were the unfortunate team to have that pick. Everyone thought this guy was going to be a beast in the NFL. Heyward Bey was a bigger MISTAKE for Al Davis. Because thats a pick NO ONE agreed with, and it hasnt worked out.

Ok yeah maybe i forgot the hype surrounding jamarcus, but mel kiper didnt see it that way (http://www.aolnews.com/2007/03/16/mel-kiper-jamarcus-russell-not-the-best-player-in-this-draft/)

I get your point about the davis bashing that people jump to that conclusion, but i still say leaf is the bigger bust, al davis and media hype aside
