OT: 30 for 30 - LA Raiders

I don't know...I've liked most of these a lot, with maybe an exception or two...but this one may have been the weakest. The LA part was 13 years of their history, but that team belongs to Oakland, not LA.

It also comes off a bit like a Behind the Music special. And it's a bit oversold. The Raiders were the cool team before they went to LA. The football merchandising boom just happened to be at that time. And yes, rap helped make things cool, but hell, eventually everything they wore did that (Nelly...St. Louis anyone?).

It was funny to see the hype on both sides. The idea that rap was going to be the end of society. And on the other side that the rappers were poet outlaws (who then all sold out...original "cop killa" Ice-T, now playing a cop always makes me chuckle).

Couple other images:

Olbermann- nice stache! Not.

Guy wanting to blame Shanahan for Raiders demise- considering how the future for him and that team went for the following decades...

And has Al Davis become a leper? Geeze. He looks like he's already died, and been dug up again.
