When you say 10 titles in two major sports, I’m assuming you are talking about baseball and football.
Oakland A’s won THREE straight, steelers 4 in 6 years, and the raiders got one too.
… but the pirates only won one title in ‘71 when Clemente went off. Which one am I missing?

Also of note, the Golden State Warriors won a title in basketball too. The played right next door to the raiders in the indoor Oakland coliseum (same parking lot).

I mention the warriors because the late great announcer Bill King was a Bay Area legend and actually had stints calling the raiders, A’s, and Warriors back then.
He is a legend to people who were around then, listening to local sports.

Thanks for sending me down memory lane.

Didn't he hire a an ex-HS coach as his QB coach? in Goff's FIRST YEAR??

(My wife went to HS with Fisher. She's not really a football fan but thought it was cool that she kinda-sorta knew him. She was PO'd when they fired him, and no arguments from me could persuade her from believing that he was treated badly. So whenever the Rams lose under McVay, especially in a heartbreaking fashion, she'll exclaim "fire the coach!". I cannot not get PO'd every freakin' time I hear it. It's almost irreconcilable at.this point.)

Have you ever responded "fire the wife!" because this almost warrants it? Try it and report back to us. (BLUE FONT)

Thanks! I missed the “we are family” pirates of ‘79!
My memory ain’t what it used to be.

BTW, I always want to give a special shout out to the swingin’ A’s team who did what only the Yankees have done in over 120 years of World Series play: win 3 straight. The most underrated dynasty in “the major sports.”

Like Reggie said... "if there wasn't free agency..... we'd have won EVERY year (rest of Decade)

Personally speaking, I believe him.

I’m fine with as long as they win.

I just don’t want them to be -1 for the division after week 1 because they decided to play it safe.

Seattle started the season 0-1 in the division week 1 last year and they got over it.

I recall last year (or was it the year before?) when the Rams couldn't beat a bunch of 49ers backups.
So I'm not particularly confident.
I mean, the Rams should crush them...but WILL they?

I have finally learned to expect a battle when we play the whiners. If I expect the Rams to crush the whiners the Rams lose. I have buddy thats a whiner fan and he'll start texting me on game day telling me how shitty the whiners are and how we will crush them. I ignore his texts until after the game, if I reply to him the Rams lose.
Some may say that sounds superstitious, but it has been painfully proven true too many times for me to dismiss so lightly.

Unfortunately, I am not going to be watching the game (so someone else will have to create the Victory thread when/if the Rams win). I'm practicing for a boccia tournament in Chicago and have to be at my best. Not only that, but my folk's television is the only one I can watch the games on, and with the late starting time, it's a no-go.

So, bring home a winner for me, guys!
