A Friday Fabulous Florida Repost - Raiderlegend
For those of us who still find fun and entertainment through radio hosted media, KGO's Mark Thompson Show features a segment that highlights some of the funniest, freaky news coming out of that fabulous state known as Florida. The state that looks like an inflamed hemorrhoid hanging out the butt of our country. Yes, that Florida!
Here in California, we have the city of Los Angeles, where the extraordinary is seen as just an ordinary daily occurrence. Things like: celebrities behaving badly, 7-Eleven store crime sprees, high speed police chases (chopper footage). What Los Angeles does not have are news stories involving alligators, police pursuit of suspects riding getaway lawnmowers, drunk cops in uniform behaving badly, iguanas in toilets, swamp rescues, and of course the classic body found in a freezer investigation.
Florida has it all, and more. Los Angeles might have legendary amusement parks, but Florida has legendary amusement parks where nearby homicide investigations, 'right down from the Whole Foods,' might involve amusement park employees smoking crack, in a cheap motel room, while still dressed in costume. 'Ho White and the Seven Dwarfs' never looked so sleazy.
Welcome to 'Friday Fabulous Florida,' where news and happenings are of the bizarre and insane, compared to most states. And you wonder, is it the weather? the politics? perhaps something in the water (besides alligators) has citizens of this so-called 'peninsula paradise' performing reality tv scenes. They make Hollywood crime productions look like fake news. And the catch to it all is many of the perpetrators and victims could qualify as 'Darwin Awards' candidates.
But we must give the 'Gunshine State' praise for its diversity. The folks featured in 'Friday Fabulous Florida' segments come in all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, genders, and backgrounds. No one group or type of individuals are targeted. Yet, all have that one noticeable distinction linking their bizarre actions ---- it happened in Fabulous Florida!

Thank You Coach Pierce
MVP
Coach Pierce not only lit a fire under the players, but he also stoked fans, front office, and even owner Mark Davis himself. Raiders football since coach Pierce took over the helm has been electrifying on the field, in the stands, in living rooms and bars, anywhere Raider Nation had a presence. Pride was restored to an organization that hasn't been relevant in the NFL on a consistent basis since losing the Superbowl in 2003.
Coach Pierce has definitely recharged my Silver & Black fandom. Our team is playing with Pride, Poise, Commitment to Excellence, and all those mottos that came to define their glory years. Antonio Pierce simply reminded the entire Silver & Black universe of who we are and what we need to be to return to championship glory.
If you love football and the Raiders, you gotta love coach Pierce, win, lose or tie. Because regardless of our win/loss record, we know coach is gonna instill that "will-to-win" attitude in players come game day. And unlike many of the teams we've seen don silver and black colors since 2003, this one actually showed Poise.
The Raiders had back-to-back games with no penalties this season under Antonio Pierce. That's "Zero" penalties over eight straight NFL quarters. I heard "Your Boy Q" on his Podcast: Locked on Raiders, mention this, and I thought that can't be. But yes Raider Nation, back-to-back games with no penalties for an organization known for being on the bad end of thrown yellow flags. They're only the seventh team since 1960, third since 2000, to achieve this amazing feat.
I hope and pray for the return of Antonio Pierce to the Raiders as head coach. What my eyes saw, and my heart felt watching the Raiders during his watch was Raiders Football. It's why I pledged loyalty way back in 1995 upon their return to Oakland. It's why I've stuck with them over the course of mostly losing seasons, hoping and praying that this would be the season they turn it all around. It's why I still wear silver and black in Da' Bay, although the team left after 2019. I want to see the Raiders back on top the pro football world of sports and I believe coach Pierce has that "something, something," to get us there.
Well, here we are in January 2024, home for the playoffs once again. But the difference this offseason is the Will-to-Win Fire Burning Brighter than ever throughout the organization. We owe this to a head coach who took over an abysmal looking Raiders team and squeezed out all doubt and suffering, before injecting them with a winning vision.
Coach Pierce has revitalized the organization. I believe his return next season is crucial to keeping what we saw blossom in the team this season. It's not often you catch lightening in a bottle. The Raiders have caught it with coach Pierce, let's see if they can pop the cork and unleash it on the league in 2024 in their quest for a championship. We've waited long enough!

Judge gives Trump 5 minutes of Rope
The former president couldn't help himself and proceeded to criticize the judicial system. When he was done, his attacks resembled more a clumsily fashioned noose dangling from his guilty neck, than any evidence of innocence.
@classifiedveteran9879
️ .... And Trump acted like a 3yr old having a tantrum. What a effin embarrassment that this individual was once President, astounding he's able to run to be President again.
