  Pride & Poise: The Oakland Raiders of the American Football League takes a definitive look into the formation and turbulent early history of the Oakland Raiders. Relive the exploits of professional football's most storied franchise in a week-in, week-out chronicle of their first 10 seasons. Witness the evolution of a virtually bankrupt football organization, which had lost 19 consecutive games while looking to move to another city willing to pour more funds into a prolific loser, before the appointment of a young football dynamo that would change their fortunes and ultimately professional football forever. Packed with statistics, transactions and forgotten lore, Pride & Poise: The Oakland Raiders of the American Football League is the most complete, accurate and fair account ever produced of the early Raiders, revisiting every game, win, lose or tie as they made their great journey from near oblivion to become professional footballs' most dominating franchise.

    The timeline, much like the site itself, is a work in progess. I'll be adding additional years as I get time. I'll be breaking each year down onto its own page. So for the first year of Raiders History, visit page one, the second year page two etc...

Enjoy

  The Heidi Game
 Posted by jimmccullough on May 05, 2007  (3416 Reads)

    As we all know, NBC made a regrettable and legendary mistake by cutting away from the Raiders-Jets game at the Oakland Coliseum and airing a children's special called "Heidi." I've included recaps from the Oakland Tribune and the New York Times, as well as articles on the aftermath of what what may very well be the greatest football game ever played.
